One of the fundamental rights we cherish in our community is the freedom of expression. Unfortunately, we are seeing that right undermined by the illegal theft and destruction of political signs—from my campaign and from others. 🧵

#NoKings

4-5K peacefully and enthusiastically marched in Kirkland WA just across the lake from Seattle where 70,000+ gathered!

Sen. Murray on the verge of tears defending democracy … powerful. NO KINGS ❌👑 tomorrow (Sat). Use our voices! youtu.be/Xi-PkNtZvS0

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Eastsiders, pls join “No Kings" ❌👑 protest this Sat. June 14, organized by Indivisible Eastside. The march thru downtown Kirkland begins at 11:30am@6th & Central Way w/ rally at Marina Park. Be part of the 1800 events nationwide to halt the "autocratic breakthrough”! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Great tour, beautiful gardens, thanks to all the volunteers!

It was a 6 year old. komonews.com/news/local/6... I post about the intersection constantly because I cross it with my kid to get to the Beacon dance studio and it's so horrible the stress of getting home through here usually ruins my Friday evenings.

Highlights work of Bothell WA’s @caryw.bsky.social ! www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025...

Oh poor “ holier than thou” Jack … maybe do your real job and report on the utter catastrophe of the current president? Oh that would require guts & real journalism.

Trump’s pretense that he’s fighting antisemitism has always been a transparent fig leaf for using real antisemitism to destroy universities, as illustrated by his hosting on May 23 of cryptocurrency investors whose coins bear slogans like “F*CK THE JEWS.”

So many disturbing things happening at US-Canadian border caused by US Customs & Border Patrol. If you’re planning to cross, note: “And CBP is planning to log everyone who leaves the country at the border as they enter Canada and Mexico, with photos taken …” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

MURRAY: How many staff have been cut from the NIH's clinical center? I want a specific number RFK Jr: I can't tell you that MURRAY: That's not acceptable

🎉🎉🎉

NYC Congestion Pricing for the win! Though trump inc. still trying to squash it and paint public transit as unsafe despite decreasing crime. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Looks like the Pike Place Market pedestrianization — after decades of debates — is working great! We can do this Kirkland!! “There’s some real beauty about all those interconnected pieces that just make for a really inspiring and pleasant journey.” www.cascadepbs.org/politics/202...

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Today’s decision is right on the law and will save lives. Large capacity magazines are used in the overwhelming majority of mass shootings, and reducing the toll of these senseless killings is vitally important. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Governor Bob Ferguson just signed SB 5184, the Parking Reform and Modernization Act, into law. People>Parking.

Washington's rent stabilization bill, HB 1217, is now law.

So WA Post gets a Pulitzer for brilliant work of @anntelnaes.bsky.social who quit the Post after it killed her now famous trump cartoon. Congrats to Ann, continuing shame on Post.

This week’s highlights: from wanna be pope to constitutional traitor.

Way to go Canada!🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

Kirkland resistance persists on this sunny PNW Saturday!

Say. This.

As a former Seattle-ite, I’d wanted this for decades. Hope pilot becomes permanent. Hint to Kirkland, where I now live: It can be done!

I hope that some who have cheered trump’s efforts to weaponize antisemitism as a way to squash criticism of Israel are finally waking up to his real goal of destroying universities in his relentless pursuit of building a “beautiful” authoritarian state.

The resistance is resilient. Hundreds showed for downtown Kirkland Saturday event, perhaps 3x as many as last week. Every corner packed, crowd stretched for several blocks, and nearly non-stop honks.

Getting ready for Saturday downtown Kirkland sign waving …

We need more Chris Van Hollen’s! I hope his courage rubs off on some of his congressional colleagues who remain stuck in institutional norms that no longer exist.

Is trump’s thumbing his nose at SCOTUS enough for Chuck Schumer to declare a Constitutional Crisis and act accordingly?

Actions big & small must — and will — continue. About 80-100 folks gathered at 6th & Central in downtown Kirkland today as part of resistance/hands-off community!
