I gotta work on meeting new people in Seattle.
I moved here 6 months ago.
And I've gone to some really cool events by myself (several awesome author talks, plays, art festivals, dog parade, protest, opera, street fairs, etc...!) but somehow haven't actually met any new folks!

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

There are (very valid) questions about actual enforcability... but whatever, I still think WA has a lot to be proud of with these.
Washington has the largest number of bills to rein in ICE of any state currently tracked by @soinformed.bsky.social
Let's keep up the pressure and enact the accountability that the MAGA regime won't ✊

BREAKING: The Senate just passed SB 5855, Senator Valdez's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing face coverings.
In the United States, federal agents are roaming around with masks. We just can't get used to that. This bill must move quickly to my desk so I can sign it into law.
