Book Review: “When Companies Run the Courts” sets off red alerts for the structural injustices we live among
Brendan Ballou's 2026 book critiques forced arbitration as a tool that undermines constitutional rights, shielding corporations from accountability while disenfranchising individuals. Through compelling case studies, he highlights the prevalence of one-sided arbitration agreements and the systemic bias in favor of powerful corporations.

But standing on the banister at Pacific Place, watching the city explode in celebration as the whistle blows, you are reminded of why we care.

65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed
NPI's research finds that most voters are on board with Superintendent Chris Reykdal and Governor Bob Ferguson's plans to propose legislation to require all K-12 public schools to generally prohibit mobile device use during the school day, which experience suggests can reduce distractions and enhance student engagement even if it doesn't spur a big improvement in academic outcomes. 65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.

64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling
Even more striking, the percentage of voters in the Evergreen State who approve of Trump's job performance fell to 30% in NPI's spring survey of the Washington electorate, which is 4% less than the previous low. Nationally, Trump's job performance rating is also declining, with Trump's war of choice in Iran and increasing prices alienating even his own voters. 64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.
