In 2003 I read a story by @thestranger.com about the Governor of Vermont who was running for President. I started volunteering there, have worked in politics and government ever since, and am now the Mayor of Kenmore, WA.

Dozens of speakers at Tuesday’s board meeting urged the district to update its immigration sanctuary policy to reflect current realities.

Clutching your pearls, snapping them off your neck--pearls everywhere--snatching them up, shoving them in my mouth like handfulls of Necco, crunchy like chalk...

Y'all ruined the word "chilling." Way to go.

I want to pull a quote, but you should really read the whole thing.

In Chicago, ICE entered a child care facility, grabbed an infant child care teacher, and traumatized kids and parents alike. This Monday, Nov 10th at 8pm EDT, join us for the ICE Out of Child Care Centers and Schools Emergency Call. Details below.

Our kids. Your kids. All kids.

Our kids. Your kids. All kids.

42 million people cant buy food this month. It’s time to tax billionaires.

People stuck in Tacoma ICE facility are literally trying to kill themselves it's so bad.

Important conversation with @ebyard.bsky.social who clearly and concisely explains what you've been feeling in your gut all along.

A big part of why I use the ballot drop boxes is that WA has statewide standards for how the boxes get emptied & the ballots get transported. USPS doesn’t have the same requirements of care.

I’m grateful to @atg.wa.gov Nick Brown for leading a lawsuit demanding that Trump release funding that Congress already approved to keep SNAP benefits going in November so families don’t go hungry.

Republicans are using the government shutdown to illegally rip SNAP benefits away from 42 million Americans. 16 million children are at risk of going hungry. The extremists don’t give a damn. You deserve better.

👀 on the record even? let's go

One great thing to see at the Cincinnati #NoKings rally was lots of people engaging with local organizations that had tables – there were political organizers, labor unions, charitable organizations, human rights groups. Looking for a next step? Reach out to your local organizations.

Portlander Mateo Garcia arrived at the ICE facility Wednesday with a gray and white Andalusian horse named Príncipe. He said he visited the site to represent Mexican people who can’t protest due to deportation fears. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

The No Kings rally not only proved that when we stand together for democracy and equality, but we can create change without chaos. Power to the people, always!

Horrifying.

We can look to our history of wins here in Washington state for guidance on how to move forward. Proud to be celebrating LGBTQ History Month.

I fought hard here in Washington state to protect a ban on conversion therapy. The federal government is also making cruel and illegal attacks on transgender individuals which our Attorney General Nick Brown has been fighting in court.

Washington state has a rich history of LGBTQ individuals fighting for equal rights and making extraordinary contributions to our state. However, LGBTQ rights are still under attack today. For example, there’s a court case seeking to overturn Colorado's ban on conversion therapy.

Every day this guy's in office sets what will be a decades-long recovery back another month.

Over the past five months we've met with more than a dozen pregnant people in ICE detention, some of whom have been detained and shackled without access to medical care. We're calling for an immediate investigation.

The man was on a DoorDash delivery run at the time that another Portland resident filmed his arrest.

I need this administration out. Now. Please advise.

It wasn't enough that they got free health care and we don't, they got to take our World Series spot too.

No Kings 10.18.25 Seattle, WA

My sister: “Believe it or not, this is my most spiritual protest sign.” Me: “Elaborate on that.” My sister: “No.”

#NoKings #Seattle

I have yet to see a crowd estimate for Seattle but this video, shot from the monorail directly above the march, gives a sense of scale

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

don't feel comfortable taking the 6 year old to a protest in these times but she wanted to make a sign anyway!

Bill Nye the Science Guy talking about the possible “end of the Republic” at the DC #NoKings rally.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

#NoKings #Seattle

Oregonians: tag me in your photos of no kings rallies across our state today so I can show the country how Oregon shows up to say “hell no” to kings.

1. Washington DC #NoKings 👑

Chicago - no kings

Thinking of my American friends at the protests going on today. Many Canadians 🇨🇦support you including this one! Standing up peacefully against tyranny and authoritarianism! Be safe and all the best to you! #NoKings #3E #solidarity

These are examples of how ICE is operating in Oregon.
