When is the Republican Party going to stop covering for a greedy and cruel child rapist?
It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

It’s not subtle
So, to be clear:
*Federal employment, which built much of the Black middle class—attacked & slashed
*Cities with Black mayors—targeted
*Black neighborhoods/communities—invaded
*Affirmative action @ colleges—eliminated
*Black history—demonized, erased, & written over
They
are
re-
segregating.

Some inspiration for Bothell homeowners now that neighborhood scale retail is allowed (and encouraged) in Bothell!
Legalize neighborhood cafés and accessory commercial units of all shapes and sizes.

Why a WA city is removing parking requirements and allowing corner stores
Bothell is about to get "more Bothell," the city's mayor said. The city says updating its municipal code will make living there more affordable and welcoming.

In Bothell, the two councilmembers who voted against a resolution explicitly spelling out the city's support for LGBTQIA+ people last month have both declined to file for re-election.
Last night Bothell City Council passed a resolution (5-2) to proactively protect the civil rights of trans and gender diverse people at a time when those rights are under attack. The community showed up in support too. The photo shows the reaction in the room when the vote was finalized.

Sometimes the only way through is to create public value in the face of trauma and pain.
I’m proud of the work North King County Cities have done in Washington (Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Shoreline & Kirkland) to build out the crisis continuum of care.

With a policy like this, 40-60% more housing can be built, so we can prioritize housing people over housing cars. Thanks Rep Duerr, the local gov committee and 64 house members for passing this bill!
