This administration continues it's run of stories that would bring down any other administration yet they're RainX to the downpour.

If you're so inclined, please contact KIRO and let them know (politely!) what you think of their decision to use their power to trash a longtime independent journalist and one of the only remaining people reporting on City Hall. mynorthwest.com/contact-us

Charlotte bought Norfolk Southern right-of-way, passed a funding referendum, *and* approved the design of a regional rail in two years. Atlanta, never let Andre Dickens and marta tell you that better rail transit is impossible.

Absolutely! This isn't hard the people are on board with taxing the rich in a way we haven't in a long long time. The important part is delivering those dollars to schools, childcare, and housing as primary focus imo.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Representative Berg to Schedule a Vote on HB 2100!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Countries should start kicking us out of their countries where we have bases. This administration is a threat to their sovereignty and national security.

i’ll just keep posting variations on elementary human decency, not that it matters

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

This really exposes the lie from the Tech Bros that autonomous robot taxis are the only way to reduce traffic fatalities.

Single stair accessible flats, and a corner cafe. Replacing a single home on a 50x122 lot.

If you wonder why every year your school or city seems to be scrambling to keep basic things going but always asking for more money and things never seem to get better and people just pay for things privately (so poor are left out), well this is why.

We need to stop reinventing the wheel we know how to build stacked, larger, family sized homes on a single lot. No need to get more creative, or overthink this. Just build what we always have. They’ll sell, they are beloved, they need to be allowed again

...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!

Love her. ✊️

And nothing happened. So, the bodycam/retraining/new rules for the Gestapo people understand why that isn't good enough now, yeah?

Ramadan Mubarak to all our observing union families and friends! 🌙 ⭐️

Too many people still can’t make ends meet, too many families still struggle to afford care, and too many barriers remain in place. Sen. @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social shares what truly powers an economy: It's people who feel empowered to care for themselves and their families. #WALeg

Sen. Sharon Shewmake: WA voters overwhelmingly rejected attempts to cut education and early learning when they defeated Brian Heywood's initiatives 2 years ago. Says polling show 54% of republicans in WA support the Millionaires tax. "Funding schools with taxes on the wealthy few is popular"

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

This is the energy we need across the country on this issue. More of this at every level of government.

“Abundance” has become a powerful policy frame—but it raises real questions about power, accountability, and who gets to decide what gets built. A candid conversation on abundance, social democracy, permitting, and government power. 🎧Listen now: buff.ly/5HrFvUv

Congressional Democrats need to understand that the government they normally vote to fund doesn't exist anymore. All government funding gives terrorist leader Donald Trump more power to terrorize people. Republicans can end the shutdown by voluntarily dissolving their fascist regime.

We honor Graeber’s writings as indispensable for denaturalizing money and obligation and for catalyzing new forms of organizing. However, we also argue that some of Graeber’s basic assumptions about money and public provisioning limit what the left can imagine and accomplish.

I concur

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission is what you do when the regime voluntarily cedes power, and as part of the deal, gets immunity from prosecution. A criminal tribunal is what you do when they cling to power and are unrepentant about their crimes. The USA needs a criminal tribunal.

They're going to add legislation to get training to make sure paperwork is filled out properly in the future in exchange for $10 Billion dollars in more funding for the rogue agency.

When do the impeachments start. When does the opposition party start opposing?

Reps Tarra Simmons and Shaun Scott have introduced a bill in the WA State Legislature that would prohibit state and local law enforcement agencies from hiring individuals who were previously employed as sworn officers with ICE on or after Jan 20, 2025. This is called an idea whose time has arrived.

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

“[T]he word revenue comes from the French verb meaning ‘to return,’ so taxation is in this sense less a case of ‘return to sender’ than of ‘return to spender.’” moneyontheleft.org/2025/12/20/z...

WAISN remains committed to nonviolence, dignity, and real-time action based in love, not fear. Together, we can show up for one another and keep working toward a future grounded in hope and humanity for all.

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence. A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions. Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

Washington’s 43rd Legislative District stands against the imperialism of America’s war-for-oil in Venezuela. This capitalist aggression will be a prelude to colonization of socialist Cuba and beyond. Inside and outside the halls of power, let’s build a fighting anti-war movement.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Give Lina Kahn $70 billion and let’s see what happens!

Exactly why I've introduced HB 2095, to adopt Canada and Europe's framework of "presumed liability" for drivers who injure or kill vulnerable road users. Let's take what's working in other places and make our roads safer here for everyone. #waleg

In the spring I would never have imagined that I wouldn't be making a big deal out of what I accomplished this year by the end of this year. But I've needed the rest and glad I took it. Nevertheless, I will bring up a couple highlights www.crisesnotes.com/elon-musk-wa...

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

From border czar Tom Homan taking cash in a paper bag to the Trump family’s $5 billion in crypto profits, this is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history. Democratic leadership is squandering their chance to stop it. From @dylangyauchl.bsky.social: trib.al/7KlBr43

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

#WALeg should follow Illinois' lead in the 2026 session & pass similar laws to: - Ban civil immigration arrests at or near courthouses - Limit data sharing with ICE and raids on schools & hospitals - Give regular people the right to sue federal agencies for unlawful arrests/civil rights violations

The single most important scientific advancement for the future of our species and planet. #ClimateCrisis

I want to raise a few issues with this ... - The unemployment rate was 4.6% in Nov 2025. - There are 982,000 more unemployed people in Nov 2025 than in Jan 2025. - There are 271,000 fewer federal government employees. - 982,000 > 271,000. More than 3 times more unemployed.

(Pete voice) CAN YOU WIN THE GAME IN THE FIRST SECOND THIRD OR FOURTH QUARTER

How can they keep running Benedict Darnold out there? He is a detriment to the team right now. His not seeing ghost he got the yips

Go Hawks!

I too love Poona Ford
