Three elections is not mere foreshadowing--it's a snow ball rolling downhill, it's Seattle remembering who it is.

THIS IS AN AMAZING WIN FOR THE PEOPLE OF SEATTLE!!! Despite a half million dollars from our corporate overlords, and a city council who broke the law to bow to them - 1A is hard yes 💜 Congrats to House Our Neighbors and everyone who worked on this.

After the strong progressive results in the Nov ‘24 election in Seattle, some politicos and media questioned whether it was an outlier caused by high presidential election year turnout. Tonight’s result reinforces that Seattle voters prefer progressive policies. #waelex #seaelex

the mayor and the council are so out of step with the public - and it's because of their tech overlord funders, and because of off-year elections. imagine how much better the city would be with leaders who actually cared to improve it.

Seattle: My friend Alexis wants to keep her seat on the City Council, & wants to participate in the Democracy Voucher program. Can you spare a signature &/or £10 to help her qualify? We need strong progressives on the City Council, and re-electing Alexis is a MUST! www.alexisforseattle.com/vouchers

Worried about public health being dismantled? Wear a mask. Worried about Medicare/Medicaid? Wear a mask. Worried about the surveillance state? Wear a mask. Interested in peaceful protest? Wear a mask. Truly wearing a mask is the best way to safeguard your health AND show resistance & solidarity

grateful to speak w/ Sen. Claire Wilson this afternoon on queer rights, protection of trans healthcare, & access to housing in this legislative session. Towards the end, we got to speak briefly on why the Senate so strongly passed the Parental Bill of Rights last session (I-2081):

Pleased to give public comment this afternoon in support of Brianna Thomas and Pam Stuart. WA needs to be a leader in the fight against the President & in protecting civil liberties that are actively under attack from Washington. Sending Brianna & Pam to #WALeg is a great first step.

There is information going around claiming that people trying to leave or come into the United States could be detained if they have an X on their gender marker. This information is FALSE per multiple attorney's I've spoken to and we do not know of any such cases.

Today, President Trump rescinded Executive Order 14087 signed by former President Biden in October 2022. What did Executive Order 14087 do? It lowered drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid—working class Americans. This only benefits big pharma.

To all of my queer siblings: live. Survive to be there for each other. Survive to fight. Survive to resist. Survive to make life hell for every fascist in power. There is strength in numbers and power in love. We are alive, and we will see the dawn again.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

2. Speak at City Hall in support of something good for your city, rather than just going to oppose things. And before you oppose something (such as well-designed density, new housing choices, or affordable housing), think carefully about who it’s meant to help, and put yourself in their place.

I am deeply grateful to the President for this action. I personally believe the death penalty to be deeply, morally and ethically wrong. I will continue to help push for its universal abolition.

Kind of fitting that the first anti LGBTQ bill in decades to pass congress will likely be signed by Biden in the form of a national ban on gender affirming care for the children of military families. I got yelled at so much for saying he wasn't doing enough.

This is so completely fucked. The message from Democrats: “Trans youth must be sacrificed to fund the war machine.” So deeply disappointed at the endless capitulation of Democrats - while Republicans have obstructed everything to get their way. Endless weakness from Democrats is why we loose.

Rightwing twitter accounts are trying to paint this latest school shooter as trans. Alleged friends on discord claim the shooter was a cisgender female neonazi "radfem." Photos from alleged discord friends match the facebook of a single father in Madison who posted his daughter at the range.

One of the things that authoritarian movements are good at doing is furthering the conditions that alienate people from society and their communities. Crushing labor rights, destroying civil society, and eroding trust in institutions from local community orgs to the national government.
