100%. The millionaire tax should fully fund schools and expand affordable preschool to all 4 year olds.

You can't call every step of creeping fascism a distraction from kitchen-table issues and then punt whenever you have a chance to address the kitchen-table issues.

Let’s put our heads together, and start a new country up.

Crowd reaction to Prop 1A raising $115 million in it's first year, more than double the initial estimate! @houseourneighbors.bsky.social

I have been a renter in Seattle for over 20yr. I have never (that I know of) been asked by an elected about my experiences as a renter. I love that Mayor Wilson is reaching out to renters. If you are a renter here is a survey put out by the Wilson administration. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/02/06/m...

A reminder that we can, and should, tax the rich.

youtube.com/shorts/HfEK3... The Seattle Times editorial board is using misinformation to advocate against statewide legislation that would tax the rich and big corporations. Here is a great short by @ronpdavis.bsky.social providing truth, context, and also highlights the need to pass HB 2100 in WA.

Many of us have been saying this for years: We don't care who's named in an Epstein investigation. We don't care if they're Democrats. We don't care if it's Clinton or Obama or Biden. We want every pedophile brought to justice. Why can't Trump supporters say that about him?

Pedro Pascal has paid tribute to Catherine O’Hara after her tragic passing “Oh, genius to be near you. Eternally grateful. There is less light in my world, this lucky world that had you, will keep you, always. Always ❤️ The one and ONLY Catherine O’Hara”

This, in Seattle: a majority renter city.

It’s something! I hope Dems will stay in the fight.

This is the kind of leadership we need right now. Dems in DC need this kind of fight.

And: unfortunately they don’t care about hypocrisy.

Woman tells Minnesota Public Radio that the man killed today was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather and "next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/live-updates....

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

ICE has killed 2 people & detained a 2-year-old & 5-year-old in Minneapolis in 3 weeks. Congress can stop this. Call your senators TODAY. (202) 224-3121 or use @5calls.org. Ask them to investigate ICE, freeze operations in Minnesota, remove DHS Sec Noem. 10 minutes. Proof in replies. #StopICE

If we want to change this, we have to see through the theater. That means supporting fighter Dems and holding accountable loser Dems. That looks like solidarity with Minnesota today, loud advocacy in the coming days, and primary challenges against weak leaders in the coming weeks. /end

This is a disappointing shift.

We need to defund, abolish, and prosecute ICE.

Populism feeds on failure. When housing, energy, and healthcare are scarce, trust collapses and demagogues fill the gap. The fix isn’t smaller government; it’s capable government that builds, delivers, and earns trust.

Points out corporations in opposition to the Well Washington Fund received large tax cuts from the MAGA Big Billionaire Bill. Also notes the success of the Jumpstart tax in Seattle (which this is based on) as revenues from it continue to rise and economic activity increases.

If you cannot make a case against a masked militia cell kidnapping and killing across America then you are not fit for elected office.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Thank you for speaking out @govjayinslee.bsky.social against your successor's raid on climate funding.

We’re hosting a national rapid response call tomorrow night to go over concrete next steps. Please circulate - we need a national response. More details to come. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The man who shot and killed that woman in Minneapolis today had the word "police" on his chest. But these ICE agents are not police. We don't have a national police force. Policing is state and local in the US. "Police" implies local origins, understandings, connection, and accountability. 1/

HB 2100 would prevent these deep cuts to healthcare and higher education; and last week I confirmed with Washington’s Employment Security Department that it could be implemented as soon as 2026. We can’t wait.

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Katie Wilson Wants a City Where People Can Do More than Just Survive Turns out this IS the time for hope. publicola.com/2026/01/05/k...

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

over on @washingtonpost.com - yet another piece on the lack of 'starter homes' we should stop using this term. high interest rates. high land values. the starter home as our parents knew it is not coming back. we need a new path forward. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Democrats are still busy trying to figure out how strongly to word a letter

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

"The thing about cities is that there is never just one story to be told about them." - @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

i have a collection of projects that are 100% illegal to build in the US - but that offer a much higher quality of life for residents. and this one is a is one i'm constantly re-remembering. single stair. low energy. massive balconies. family-sized homes. solar protection. cross ventilation.

Refreshingly anti-capitalist. Thank you, Mayor Katie Wilson. I am so excited about your leadership. Congratulations! 🎉

I love this so much.

It’s a much different vibe going into 2026. Let’s keep flipping seats and electing leaders who are representing the needs of the people, versus the financial interests of the wealthy.

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

praising Regan when you need the support of the generations he financially fucked over is certainly a campaign move lmao

2. Bluesky's main value is discussion and info sharing within the left of center world. It is crucially important to have a place to do this where MAGA is not present. We're not convincing normies here and that's fine. We're learning, plotting, growing. A MAGA-free place is key to that.

Great episode. Thanks to you both. “The Civil Rights Movement was not like, let's get things for Black people. It is the beginning of true democracy in this country, and the resistance to it was an anti-democracy movement. And we haven't treated it that way.” @sifill.bsky.social

Rob Reiner was a force for good. He was an incredible artist that made so many people laugh and cry. Most importantly, he was kind in a time where kind men are in short supply. He will be greatly missed.

Brad is a proud partner and champion for the NYWFP. We are proud to be Day-One endorsers of his campaign. He has been a leader for all NYers, fought for paid sick leave, and shepherded one of the largest affordable housing projects in years. We’re all in on @bradlander.bsky.social for NY-10

In this mornings edition of mainstream media getting it wrong we have the Morning Brief newsletter from the WP (we see you Bezos) titled “Do Democrats have a brewing primary problem?” The article attempts to support the position of the Dems rallying around centrist candidates for the midterms.

This is murder. Hegseth needs to be removed and prosecuted, along with Bradley.

Today Rep. Gomez introduced a bill which redirects the $175 billion for ICE and CBP and *reinvests those billions* directly into proven solutions that would reduce rents, expand homeownership, and incentivize the building of housing that’s affordable across the country. Yes! More of this please!

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.
