Who can tell me what the men's brooches are about at tonight's #Oscars??

👇🏽👇🏽👏🏼

Thank you to all the #WaLeg members who voted YES on the Millionaires Tax and beginning to fix our upside down tax system! And huge appreciation for all the advocates, families, neighbors and MILLIONAIRES who testified in favor of the bill. On to the Senate for concurrence!

Hear that #WALeg Senate? As soon as you concur in the House amendments, Gov Ferguson is ready to sign it into law! Let's get this done!

Don't let opposition pit us against each other. We want support for small businesses because they are essential to a strong economy. Let's clear up some blatant misinformation: The vast majority of small businesses and pass-through entities won't be affected by the Millionaires Tax. #WALeg

...Instead, spending has declined by 61% in K-12 education; 68% in higher education; and (since 1998) by 44% in social, health, and human services... Thanks to the incredible staff @eoionline.bsky.social for calling BS!

@seiu925.bsky.social Wenatchee early learning worker Lupita Suarez: "childcare programs run on narrow margins, we are doing our part for our local communities, it is time you act to make our state more fair and fund childcare and other services people like me rely on"

Lillian of Latino Community Fund: "workers struggle to feed themselves or families while corporations and those with most wealth aren't paying their fair share. Millionaires Tax would bring real resources with working families tax credit & lower sales taxes on essential goods. Urges support

Sam McVeety, who says he would pay the Millionaires Tax is here in support: "My husband and I believe in a strong public education system, and want to support that by giving back and paying this tax."

Our board member Matt Loschen in strong support of a Millionaires Tax, which he would ✨proudly✨ pay. #WALeg

For the record, all staff at EOI are in strong support of the Millionaires Tax.

@kuow.org Senator Saldaña has been in office for 10 years. Your reporters should be pronouncing her name correctly by now. Please respect the diversity of our region by pronouncing people's names correctly

Time to move away from funding our 21st century society with tools rooted in maintaining the oligarchy.

Sports coverage all day long: Vrabel Vrabel Vrabel Mike Macdonald: We do not care.

We're ready! #SuperbowlLX

Thank you @amysundberg.bsky.social for laying out the list of things we SHOULD be investing in to reduce gun violence. And some of the reasons our neighbors and communities should be protected from constant surveillance.

Dozens of Seattlites came out this morning to make whistle packets. When I left at 12:30 we had made 3500 already! Thanks to @ourcommonpower.bsky.social for organizing!! #ICEOUTNOW ❌️👑

Thank you @indivisible.org for this webinar. Thanks to @aclu.org and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network for sharing important information about how we can all step up to bear witness to the brutality of this regime

It's hard to argue with him. We are facing a decades-long fight to recover. And we, as a country, are not prepared for the sacrifices it will take to win. Time to step up.

Holy razors Batman, that was a close shave!!

It's fascinating and disturbing that the same people he who fight tooth and nail for the right to carry concealed weapons are now using such as justification for shooting Mr. Pretti. This regime is shameless.

TONIGHT: Organizers in Minnesota are asking you to shine a light for their state.

DC inboxes are full! Washingtonians can call local offices of Sens Cantwell and Murray to demand they vote no on any funding for DHS. Took me less than five minutes to leave a message! #ICEOUTNOW

Here are some ways that you (yes you) can get a bill passed into law: ▶️ Find a bill you like ▶️ Navigate to the bill’s webpage ▶️ Read the bill (it's fun!) ▶️ Sign up for emails ▶️ Sign in PRO ▶️ Watch the hearings on TVW ▶️ Talk about the bill on social media ▶️ Write a letter in support ...

The things you can accomplish with leadership and political will.

Happy Polar Plunge Day to all who celebrate!

Other cities in the US and Europe have figured this out. In San Antonio, New York, DC, Vienna, Bratislava, Nantes, Valencia, they have great access to bike share and no bike litter. I know because I've seen it. It's a question of priorities. And its a VERY solvable problem.

Green beans are not in season in November (in the PNW). 'Nuff said.

Shameful. AND, the Council can pass this without her, assuming they listen to their constituents who rent or who care about renters.

Unelected busybody says that the duly elected mayor doesn't get a vote?

She did it!🎉

This puts the Seattle mayoral election outside of recount territory! A recount is required when the race is within 2,000 votes AND 0.5%. Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell by 0.72%. #waelex #SEAelex

Congratulations to our Mayor-elect, @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! #ThisIsOurCity #Seattle #SEAElex #SeattleElex #KCElex #WAElex

Congratulations to our new Mayor-Elect Wilson!!

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Hey Seattle voters. The mayor's race may come down to a slim margin of votes, so check TODAY to make sure your signature was validated and ballot was counted. There are easy steps to correct things if your ballot was rejected: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Could the Seattle mayoral election go to a recount? And if so, how would it work? I answer those questions here:

👏 CHECK 👏 YOUR 👏 BALLOT 👏

Less than 2 points away!! THIS IS YOUR CITY!!! Mayor Wilson is on her way

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Happy Day After Election Day! If you're one of the thousands of procrastivoters who voted late in the election period, now's a great time to track your ballot at kce.wiki/MyVoterInfo. See an issue in your ballot tracker? Give us a call at 206-296-8683.

What the hell??

It's so important that people speak clearly about their policy experience with @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social AND with the mismanagement of previous mayoral administrations. Thanks for sharing your perspective on Katie's strengths.

I don't remember having pouring rain on Halloween. We haven't had a single Trick or Treater. Thankfully I don't like Skittles.

👀

Final weekend to vote! Vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social , let's make the city affordable for people raising a family!

Bruce Harrell's biggest selling point is his "experience," but these Seattle city employees want you to know that the price of this experience is too high, and Seattle can't afford to pay it anymore.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.
