Population of Hoodsport, WA is less than 500. We were # 288 and 319 at the #NoKings protest.

At one point a pickup truck yelled get out of my town, and the majority of the folks chanted “Hoodsport Proud, this is our town”.

Leaders don’t fight to take away people’s health care.

Leaders don’t degrade federal workers.

Leaders don’t abandon allies in times of struggle.

Leaders don’t cause chaos — they prevent it.

Some of the designs from WSDOT for the S3 Gorst planning are WILD. #Bremerton

Here’s an issue of local interest. #Bremerton
Roads and transportation projects aren’t just about cars and traffic, they demonstrate what and who we value!
Bremerton has the historical luck that they never built a freeway thru town- SR-3 skirts the western edge of town, 4 miles from center city.

If the state decides to widen this freeway, more cars get crammed onto Bremerton’s narrow residential streets. Terrible for the city. Gotta be a better way.

It might feel like a random day in February, but across WA it’s an Election Day for important proposition. Support schools, tax corporation, VOTE!

Serious question 🙋🏻‍♀️

Can we withhold our federal tax dollars? I mean individuals stop paying out of our pay checks?

I know eventually we’d have to pay or IRS would come knocking, but could we hold on paying as a protest? Would it matter?

My message to #Bremerton mayor and city council

WTF #Bremerton

Wasn’t expecting this in our own backyard so fast. As far as I’m concerned WA entities should not follow any executive order by this administration. They are unlawful and meant to sow chaos, we MUST stand against.

WA State folks, call Senator Maria Cantwell (202) 224-3441 and demand vocal action against the current administration, block all cabinet nominees and stop the overreach of the unhinged billionaire. She’s being far too silent and complicit in a safe blue Senate seat.

On a rapid response call with 1000+ Washingtonians getting educated on immigrant rights and how to support our friends and neighbors.

Reminder for #Kitsap that all of the Olympic Peninsula is within the 100-miles of Customs and Border Patrol.
