Irony in 2025 is hearing an NPR program sponsor ad for Amazon’s urgent care service with a tagline: Thanks to #Amazon health care just got better #TaxTheRich

The #BigUglyBill will take its greatest tolls of health and costs of living in #rural communities like districts represented by WA’s #DanNewhouse and #MichaelBaumgartner when #HealthCare and #FoodAssistance are slashed and #EnergyCosts skyrocket www.yakimaherald.com/opinion/gues... #Shame

Every #HellNo vote protects us from higher #EnergyBills, the expansion of #FoodApartheids, and the loss of #HealthCare Every HELL NO vote counts so get on the phone and call your Reps! #BigUglyBill #Reconciliation

1 vote got this to the Senate. One tiebreaker vote by a feckless VP is moving it for final passage. It’s time to turn the heat up to nuclear to rain down calls on your reps to reject this once & for all. And if that fails, turn up the feral possum tenacity to live to vote them out. #Reconciliation

We’re paying in national security, human lives, and our democracy because of the price of eggs. Oh, and we’re still paying for the artificially inflated price of eggs too. #Iran #BigUglyBill

Eating the popcorn like everyone else… …. And talking with my mouth full on Senate voicemail boxes because we can’t get distracted by the #ElonvTrump beef from defeating the big, ugly, jobs and people and democracy killing bill #ReconciliationBill

🥗 it’s a budgetary time bomb for states too, thanks to the SNAP benefit cost share

Would further add that our problem is greed

The CA clean car standards are the backbone of WA’s air quality policy- recent study from Ecology and Health Dept found 70% of our state’s cancer risk is from diesel exhaust. Don’t let Big Polluters win- protect our air

The House W&M bill severely curtails tax credits for clean electricity and eliminates incentives for clean vehicles. These changes will lead to higher utility bills for households, job losses in areas facing underinvestment, & worse health outcomes in vulnerable communities.

Washington’s budget can’t be balanced on cuts and raiding dedicated funds to clean up toxics in our most polluted communities, especially when there are common sense #TaxReform options on the table #waleg amp.bellinghamherald.com/opinion/op-e...

Only #MAHA and Republicans are capable of the complete non sequiter to identify the very real problem of #SNAP restrictions on hot prepared foods and say the solution is restrict soda and candy www.msn.com/en-us/health... #HandsOffSNAP

Today, a King County Superior Court judge ruled #I2066 unconstitutional. This decision validates what our coalition has said all along— the people were misled by intentionally vague and overly broad language that gets unwanted outcomes like limiting local gov ability to monitor #AirQuality

#FoodInsecurity in WA is nearly 2x since 2021 & fed budget cuts $230b from #SNAP will only grow need, costing more in long run Our legislature must reject Gov proposed cut for #FoodBanks Time to tax those who can afford it to meet need www.seattletimes.com/opinion/as-m... #waleg #CleanUpOurTaxCode

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.

My 11yo: Well if that doesn’t perfectly capture the mood of these times Go see the #AiWeiwei exhibit at the #SeattleArtMuseum It’s so so very good!

When the brief is a chocolate cake with white frosting, then you make a Nanaimo bar cake and get to call it an homage to Canada and a birthday cake becomes an act of resistance Happy birthday, @jcmorrisonmd.bsky.social

Minority Leader Schumer blinked hard in the game of chicken, announcing his support, but Dems must hold strong because this bill gives unchecked funds to support DOGE efforts that are already shutting down our government & consents to tariffs that’ll tank our #economy Demand NO from Senators

"The White House ordered a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too intrusive..." abcnews.go.com/Politics/sto...

Breakdown of what EPA brags is the “biggest deregulation action in US history” At its core, regulation protects the rest of us for our health and public good from the damage that can be caused by the economic benefits for a few.

Shutting down the work of improving the air quality in our most polluted areas makes all of us unhealthy www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

So of course this lunatic is wrong. Let's start there. But if he actually thinks this, then why is he not fighting to improve programs like #SNAP, #WIC and other federal programs that promote nutrition? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/10/n...

Funding for #FoodBanks and #Schools to purchase directly from #LocalFarms supporting those farm businesses is apparently no longer a priority for USDA. So tell me, what exactly are USDA’s priorities now? www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Raul will always be a 🤴🏽but there’s just something so beautiful that a homegrown now holds the record for most goals in @soundersfc.com club history. Congrats #JordanMorris! #SEAvLAFC

Climate change is moving faster than scientists projected & they're not totally sure why. One possible explanation is declining cloud cover. If that's true, we may be entering a feedback cycle that accelerates warming much faster than we've modeled.

The chef’s kiss of the #HaggenScotten resignation letter is the channeling of Lilly Taylor energy singing about Joe: youtu.be/jA0HcqhGkMc?... #ItWasNeverGoingToBeMe #EricAdams

Wellness is the new reeducation

"Energy dominance" "Clean coal" "Unleashing American energy" Trump and his Big Oil allies love to use friendly terms like these to sanitize and greenwash their harmful, pro-polluter policies. We took a look at their intentionally misleading phrases and decoded what they actually mean 👇

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

No words. This man has a proven track record for how his antivax agenda has resulted in deaths. Confirmed despite a serious and imminent threat of an avian flu outbreak.

Who knew that the Reese’s commercial showing NPS people trying to keep Americans from eating lava would be an accurate documentary? #SuperbowlAds

Living in Trump’s/Elon’s America means the #Superbowl is ruined for those of us here for the ads thanks to the bard inducing Fox News commercials

One air traffic controller was working the job of two, so ask the President, if he is framing #DCPlaneCrash as a DEI hire problem, is he setting up grounds for his OMB to cut even more funding from air safety?

The President’s remarks on last night’s #KansasCommuter tragedy were vile & self-serving, but the media needs to stop giving him airtime. Coverage should focus on two things: 1) Trump gutted #AirSafety last week 2) This happened on his Defense Sec #Hesgeth watch

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

The #FederalFreeze may be rescinded but funding for #climate #foodassistance and even #Medicaid are far from safe Call your Senator and urge NO vote on #RusselVought the architect of this chaos and nominee for Budget Director www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

#FunFact When Trump’s tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico start next month, the biggest import from Canada here in WA is #NaturalGas Energy costs will go up because of #tariffs not because of our state climate goals Tell this to everyone who voted for #I2066 and #I2117
