Issaquah on edge after ICE arrest outside preschool A series of immigration arrests has shaken an Issaquah preschool community over the past week. The arrests have also had a ripple effect throughout the city’s education system.

Sorry but I think the theme is here. (Also let it be known Issaquah is an affluent suburb of Seattle… far from “shithole” status.)

Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Congratulations @abigailspanberger.com! She focused on public schools, jobs and affordability. A stark contrast to the chaos in Washington. Voters sent a clear message today.
