This is great bc this was the first time in years that I saw an opposition statement to the bonds that wasn’t just “it’s my money, bah humbug”. Two MAGA losers from the last board election wrote lengthy statements on each of the three Northshore measures. Thing is, we want the neighborhood educated.
Yesterday, voters in Washington state unlocked billions of dollars for school funding.

Hailey is one of the coolest people I know, and I'm so proud to be her friend. She's a trans writer, activist & educator.
She's been having a rough time because her mother has cancer and she's been unable to work.
I would consider it a personal kindness if you could give whatever you can spare <3

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.
