I have never been a fan of David Hogg, I have always been against him and shared my view with WA State DNC members during the February DNC elections. I spoke my mind and predicted he will be a stain on the party and it is all coming to fruition.

Mayor @masonthompson.bsky.social thank you so much for speaking up for those whose voice are being silenced.
A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people.
Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

Kudos to all those who went out to protest. I didn’t go and did not plan on going. I did my protest November 5th 2024 with my vote. All what Is happening now was told during rhe Harris/Walz campaign.

According to @hunterw.bsky.social, Cory Booker is now cutting into the Senate's schedule for today, meaning it's not just a performance, it's an actual act of obstruction and resistance.
This is the kind of leadership we need!

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker shows no signs of slowing down after speaking for more than 14 hours on the Senate floor, taking aim at President Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE.

I witnessed something new—a fresh movement taking shape in Seattle. @alexis4seattle.bsky.social is leading the way, building a progressive activism movement that unites and inspires. Her leadership is exactly what our city needs, and I’m excited to support her reelection to Seattle City Council!

Mayor Bruce Harrell has always been an all boys club person. He does not work for the people but for the 1% and businesses.
He has always been a sexist and homophobe. The city administration under his leadership is nothing but pure toxic environment.

The empathy struggle when cuts hit WA’s Trump country
They're squealing east of the mountains about the federal job cuts and the disruption caused by tariffs, Danny Westneat writes. One awkward question is: Should we care?

I understand the confusion and anger from Democrats right now.
However, one thing that would be super counterproductive is forming a strategy going forward that ignores the 3 groups who voted correctly: Black people, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ community.
Don't abandon our base to win bigots.

Bernie says this a lot yet has nothing to show helping working class with his name for all the years he has been in office.

As Reorg is happening within the Party, elected officials should not hold vital party positions especially chair positions.
Also former elected officials should not be out next DNC, we need to have a non stuck up person who can relate to all. Not an elitist with selfish interest.
