Detroit Three supplier closing factory and cutting 133 jobs

I will repost every portland frog joke

My ideal Washington tax system: – LVT instead of property tax, with no 1% cap – much lower sales tax and B&O tax – modest progressive income tax – capital gains tax similar to Idaho’s – tax on VMT – eliminate junk government fees

“They was bringing the kids down too, had them zip-tied to each other,” she said. “That’s all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where’s the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’” trib.al/Eyd0Wfu

"State terror isn’t coming, it’s here. The kidnapping of our immigrant neighbors, the brutal treatment of protesting Spokanites, the Trumped up charges–all of it is meant to scare us..." Dr. Joan Braune and Dr. Judy Roher wrote in an analysis. rangemedia.co/state-... 🧵/1

City Council commenter last night said we're in a second gilded age. 100% agree

We have polling showing Kathy Hochul’s approval rating in New York up 15 points since she adopted a more aggressive anti-Trump frame. Gavin Newsom’s approval rating is up 8 points since he started pushing back more forcefully against Republican attacks. The message for Dems is clear: FIGHT BACK.

Yesterday, I got a door knocker from our local PBS station asking for donations. Imagine a world where vital public programs can focus on their work and not have to beg for scraps because our taxes fund billionaire tax breaks. www.ksps.org

I wish I could express how much it bolsters Americans to see folks abroad offering us solidarity + support. Just today in my YouTube comments, folks from England Germany Brazil Belgium Canada Finland Mexico Spain left comments encouraging us to keep going and they're with us. 💪😭❤️

@cantwell.senate.gov Continues to be spineless and corrupt for those AIPAC dollars

Expansion of humanitarian assistance won't help when there's a blockade. This is a manufactured famine. This is genocide.

Visiting home, the economic ramifications of the Trump regime is apparent. One steel mill closed entirely, another closed 2/3rds of its buildings, laying off 900 workers. Due to tariff uncertainty, a semiconductor plant opening was canceled, costing Michigan 10,000 jobs. Under Trump, we all suffer.

As far as I understand, this goes through the House Housing Committee: Chair: Strom Peterson (360) 786-7950 Vice Chair: Natasha Hill (360) 786-7888 Vice Chair: Adison Richards (360) 786-7964

@cantwell.senate.gov Why are you doing a photo op with a wanted war criminal?

If you're wondering what's next after the big betrayal bill, the answer is the same as before. We resist. If you're stuck, you can start here.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Spokane Indivisible: This is a disgusting take on a bill that will literally kill people. There is nothing gleeful about this.

Bingle says it's a bad sign when the communists support something and then proceeds to talk about the socialists. Disrespectfully, stfu

Republicans chose to release the text of their Big Ugly bill late last night. They’re trying to pass the largest cuts to health care in history late on a Saturday. So Democrats are forcing the entirety of the bill to be read on the Senate floor. We won’t let them hide.

I recently tabled for a banner signing station. For as much flack as gen alpha gets, I was so impressed by the kid's responses to the prompt to write about what's important to them. The responses included LGBTQ rights, noise pollution, drawings against cutting down trees, and more. Gives me hope 💓

Spokane City Council wants to claim ignorance but how many of them actually did their job and reached out to people that were at the protest? I for one never received a reply from Zach Zappone. They all then proceeded to vote yes. Maybe don't vote yes if you don't have all the information?

@mayorspokane.bsky.social @zackzappone.bsky.social @citycouncilpaul.bsky.social Materially supporting immigrants also includes materially supporting those who tried to prevent 2 immigrants from being abducted 6/11. Drop all Charges. #FreeThemAll

The after-action reports being referenced are from the Office of Police Ombudsman who CANNOT publish a report full stop without the chief of police's approval. Police get full editing. This is NOT the independent or factual report everyone wants you to believe. www.scarspokane.org/what-happene...

Now that's an orange king I would support! #orangecat #cat #gingercat #nokings

Spokane City Council is meeting tonight at 6pm to vote on a resolution ratifying the mayor's declaration of emergency and curfew order. Show up to tell city council to vote no on the emergency declaration and curfew for a nonviolent protest. Tell them a vote for this resolution is a vote for ICE!

This is un-American.

@citycouncilpaul.bsky.social @zackzappone.bsky.social @mayorspokane.bsky.social hope yall had fun yesterday and got a good night's sleep! Justice is still in jail on now 8 trumped up bullshit felonies and a no bond hold. What are you doing about this?

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Last night, during a nonviolent protest, @mayorspokane.bsky.social authorized police escalation and declared a curfew and state of emergency "for safety." This led to smoke bombs, pepper bullets, violently throwing people to the ground, and arresting over 30 protesters. This is an utter betrayal.

Now that things have slowed down I’m going to post the longer version of Colton’s video that shows more of the lead up, which appears peaceful by protesters

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

"Chuck Schumer" is a complete sentence 😂

In honor of RFK Jr., I edited my anti-fascist poem to reject eugenicists also. Rejecting tyrants just wasn't enough. #actuallyautistic

Every Democrat in Congress could stand as one outside the White House right now demanding 1. GOP in Congress impeach + convict 2. Tr*mp returns Abrego Garcia + all the men sent to CECOT. Get your shit together and get rowdy and creative and make a giant spectacle of this.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk. Watch here: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...
