A WIN for workers! WA Bill 5041 was signed yesterday, allowing striking workers to qualify for unemployment benefits. This bill shifts power from corporations to the workers by providing protection from businesses who stubbornly refuse to bargain with their unionized workers. #UnionPower

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

Part of the reason people don’t believe republicans are as evil as advertised is that democrats won’t stop telling the public how much they love republicans. Biden kept talking about how they were such good guys, even Mitch McConnell, and he’s not alone. Democrats have been some of the best GOP pr.

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak

A small but potentially decisive slice of American elites seem to think it is possible to have an authoritarian state regarding criticism of Israel and a free liberal democratic society on everything else. I think it is increasingly clear this is untrue. It is a package deal.

Our members took to the streets on Saturday to protest with the people and to support a free Palestine. Thanks to their hard work, 67 new people pledged to commit to BDS, a Palestinian-led movement that pressures corporations to stop profiting from the ethnic cleansing in Gaza 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine #BDS

The only ideology I see here is that of the Times editorial board, which wants to DOGE public services here in Washington State -- schools, health care, housing, and more. Taxing the rich isn't ideology, it's math. And it's what the public wants.

Why do all D politicians talk like they're some uwu news reporter on their first day on the job? Also, Forbes did a story in 2014 that showed the highest paid CEOs company's performed the worst. Trump wouldn't exist if her statement was true to how our broken economy works.

I really mean this, and it’s important to understand. These people do not want a smaller federal government. They want one that has an incredible amount of coercive force to dominate people. They want to hollow out the stuff that empowers people.

Lynnwood: 5,259 people per square mile or 8 people acre. Seattle: 9,498 people per square mile or 15 people acre. Paris: 51,662 people per square mile or 81 people per acre. Lynnwood’s got a very long way to go to even being modestly dense.

The utter inability for Democrats to take a page from the McConnell playbook and oppose everything to force the majority party to bare the weight of passing its agenda continues to astound me. An unserious party composed of those unwilling to wield power.

In Everett, WA, voters passed a $20.24/hour minimum wage ordinance by passing initiative 24-01! Even better, they rejected the deceptive alternative (24-02) that the business lobby put on the ballot to try and trick people into not raising the wage at all
