The same MAGA GOP fighting the release of the Epstein files are also fighting to pass laws giving them control over vulnerable children.

It's no coincidence these weirdos want to require kids to undergo genital checks to play school sports.

Help stop them in WA: actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

Two weeks ago at a press conference, Jorge Torres (2024 WA School Counselor of the Year) said Brian Heywood's initiatives would undermine the work of school counselors to support all students.

Decline to sign these dangerous initiatives. Take the pledge here: bit.ly/WFFDecline

These numbers from the Whatcom Council of Governments on how much tourism from Canada has cratered since Trump took office are brutal.

Our neighbors to the north in B.C. are understandably responding to MAGA tariffs and threats by boycotting the U.S. www.theolympian.com/news/state/w...

At a press conference today, police detective Elizabeth Wareing slammed Brian Heywood's latest dangerous initiatives, saying that the mandatory genital inspections Heywood wants would allow sexual predators more power and access to young children.

Protect kids, decline to sign IL26-001/IL26-638.

Also, years ago national news outlets were absolutely flooded with this shiny rendering of Amazon's promised HQ2, falling over themselves to crown it the new spheres.

Meanwhile, in reality, Amazon hasn't even broken ground on it, and their actual buildings look like the photo on the right 😒
November 20, 2025 at 1:13 AM
When Amazon 1st announced they would open a 2nd HQ outside of Seattle, the usual WA conservatives gloated that progressives making wealthy corporations pay what they owe in taxes had backfired.

Flash forward 8 years and Amazon's HQ2 is a bust & Seattle's Jumpstart tax is keeping our services afloat

Katie Wilson has a personal understanding of the rising costs that are burdening working people in Seattle. What's more, her extensive experience fighting for change at City Hall means she has clear plans to fix this.

That's why editorial boards owned by wealthy conservatives are so afraid of her.
November 19, 2025 at 10:51 PM
In case you missed it on our Instagram, we published a wrap up of all the high-profile races in the Washington election this year!

Also please just mentally update the Katie Wilson number we show to 2,029, we made this last week 😅
November 18, 2025 at 7:54 PM
Thank you to WA Senators @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov for your votes against funding this criminal government, and your steadfast refusal to cave on the working people who deserve affordable health care, not tax breaks for billionaires.

We're lucky to have leaders like you in WA ❤️

Brian Heywood's 2 new dangerous initiatives — IL26-001/IL26-638 — threaten the safety of ALL kids, especially trans & queer students, by forcing invasive genital exams on children who want to play sports.

Decline to sign these dangerous initiatives. Take the pledge here: bit.ly/WFFDecline

That's a wrap on the Seattle Mayor's race: Katie Wilson wins it by 1,975 votes after the final remaining ballots were counted today.

That takes the race out of automatic recount territory as the gap is >0.5%
November 13, 2025 at 12:07 AM
Also, if I'm reading these posts by @kromandavid.bsky.social and @joeveyera.bsky.social correctly, there should be about 600 votes still to count, even aside from those challenged ballots with signature issues I noted above.
November 12, 2025 at 12:14 AM
UPDATE: latest round of ballots counted shows that Katie Wilson now leads Bruce Harrell in the Seattle Mayor's race by 1,346 votes.

That's currently within the 2,000 vote margin to trigger an automatic machine recount. Though there are ~1,000 ballots with signature issues that could change that.
November 12, 2025 at 12:06 AM
In the other close race we've been watching, @edwinobras.bsky.social is now ahead by comfortable 1,500 votes, all but ensuring that he has prevailed over Kevin Schilling and his big corporate backers!
November 11, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Meanwhile, in Eastern WA, @sardixit.bsky.social has officially defeated Jonathan Bingle for the Spokane City Council by 129 votes with all votes counted! 🥳🎉

Dixit flipped this seat Democratic and by a larger margin than requires an automatic recount!
November 11, 2025 at 12:50 AM
In what is perhaps the wildest possible upset of this election, @sardixit.bsky.social is now AHEAD of Republican Jonathan Bingle by 60 votes for the Spokane City Council Position 2 seat!

This seat has been occupied by Republicans for YEARS. For Sarah to flip it would be wild!
