I have known Ry in the political circle and someone that I honestly don’t trust politically. Ry has shown many that they care just for themselves and would do anything for power.
If you understand PDC just do through campaign finance and lots of hmm

He has never identified with the Nigerian community here. He told me the man saved him from foster care.

The article calls out an aspect of CM Saka that’s is true. Wearing a psudeo dashiki does not make one Nigerian. It’s not even a cultural attire or design in πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬

We open our homes to house strangers and treat all as family we believe that there is a good in everyone. The β€œnwa boy” culture is deeply embedded within our society. This should reflect on how a person treats others. Truly that lacks, he’s never even identified with the πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬community here in Seattle.

As a Nigerian-American it’s really disappointing that CM Saka says he is one of us. He is not Nigerian but was fostered by a Nigerian. Nigerians are welcoming and put people over cooperate. We are brought up to care for all amd we are a comminty centric.

Had an amazing learning experience on the political world as an LGBTQ+ individual. Was with other political leaders and candidates. Thanks to @victoryinstitute.bsky.social
The future of representative government starts now with community members stepping forward and running for office.

I called out how his β€œmedia tour and coverage” is to distract how racist, sexist and ageist his Ideology is.
Before you defendd him have you considered how the other candidates who are all non-white deel about being disenfranchised?

The hard part for me are all those folks jumping on Team Hogg with out conducting a deep research and dwelling on their dislike for the party as their reason.

I have never been a fan of David Hogg, I have always been against him and shared my view with WA State DNC members during the February DNC elections. I spoke my mind and predicted he will be a stain on the party and it is all coming to fruition.

By chance do you know the difference between majority and minority voting? Seems you need to shut up till you gain wisdom.

I have seen this play out again and again in other countries no matter the protest an authoritarian government will not be moved.
This enthusiasm that brought a coalition should have been created 6 months ago. Now we all are at the Find Out phase

Kudos to all those who went out to protest. I didn’t go and did not plan on going. I did my protest November 5th 2024 with my vote. All what Is happening now was told during rhe Harris/Walz campaign.

According to @hunterw.bsky.social, Cory Booker is now cutting into the Senate's schedule for today, meaning it's not just a performance, it's an actual act of obstruction and resistance.

This is the kind of leadership we need!

I witnessed something newβ€”a fresh movement taking shape in Seattle. @alexis4seattle.bsky.social is leading the way, building a progressive activism movement that unites and inspires. Her leadership is exactly what our city needs, and I’m excited to support her reelection to Seattle City Council!

He avoids accountability, but like a typical Seattle resident lives virtual signaling. Why is he sending security details for his trips? What security detail does he need for domestic and international trips?

Mayor Bruce Harrell has always been an all boys club person. He does not work for the people but for the 1% and businesses.
He has always been a sexist and homophobe. The city administration under his leadership is nothing but pure toxic environment.

The empathy struggle when cuts hit WA’s Trump country They're squealing east of the mountains about the federal job cuts and the disruption caused by tariffs, Danny Westneat writes. One awkward question is: Should we care?

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... #WA04 is the most dependent on both state and federal assistance, but also the reddest. Why do you all vote against your own interest?
