Today I'm calling on @governorferguson.bsky.social to declare a state of emergency: the expiration of SNAP benefits for nearly one million Washingtonians will be a disaster for the health of many, and for the economic health of the state. We must join other state governments and act swiftly.

It kind of boggles my mind that Gov. Ferguson hasn’t done this yet? Seems like a very easy call to be able to free up other funds to support SNAP recipients.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

This is a bold step by the city workers, who stand to lose a lot by angering the famously grudge-holding Mayor. It is sign of the spreading realization that Bruce is vulnerable and a sign of their courage that they are willing to take this risk.
Let's stand with the people who make Seattle work!

At a press conference at City Hall this morning, the Working Families Party and PROTEC17—the largest union of City of Seattle workers—endorsed Katie Wilson for mayor. The city union's endorsement is especially monumental because for most of these workers, incumbent Bruce Harrell is their boss.

the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

Again! No one highlights the ICE money. If you are posting like this, you're pitching to the white Americans you hope don't care about brown people getting kidnapped, and not to "the groups" that GET YOU ELECTED.
Senate Republicans just passed the Big Ugly Bill, which contains
- Massive tax cuts for billionaires
- Tax hikes for working Americans
- 17 million lose health care
- The biggest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP ever
- Higher energy costs
- Trillions in debt
It comes to the House now. We will fight this.

When trump's American Nazi Reich's regime is toppled, all his cabinet, his advisers, his ICE, and DOJ enablers will have to answer to U.S.C. #242, titled "Deprivation of rights under the color of law."
If you would've told me a year ago that a 30-year-old freshman councilmember could bring Harrell to the table to create a new progressive revenue source I wouldn't have believed it. It's literally unbelievable. WILD how desperate Bruce is to be seen working with Rinck. He smells what's cooking.
JUST IN: Mayor Harrell and Councilmember Rinck have announced a new proposal that would exempt around three-fourths of small businesses in Seattle from paying the Business & Occupation (B&O) tax, while raising the rate on larger businesses to raise an estimated $90 million.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters
