Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

We made a law today! My bill HB 1687 to bring social housing developers into the Housing Cooperation Law — an idea brought to me by Andrew Lewis and @houseourneighbors.bsky.social and championed by so many of you — is now a LAW #waleg

Honestly, I’m really delighted about this because it means so many advocates who brought this idea to me and made this possible can be there! #waleg

It’s that time of year when I put on Jill Scott and start packing up my home in Olympia. Very excited to get back to my home home in Seattle and to have hopefully an amazing Seattle summer prioritizing lake swims

Holdout Democrats leave WA House support for income tax in doubt • Washington State Standard The votes weren’t there yet late Wednesday for Democrats’ income tax bill in the Washington state House. Democratic members are withholding support for the proposed income tax on millionaires, saying ...

If you’re interested in good quality reporting on what’s happening in Olympia from reporters who are here on the ground full time (there’s only like one or two left, alas!) I always think Washington State Standard has great info.

Not sure why the Seattle Times is so committed to killing housing in the city but it’s wearing a bit thin.

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

A U.S. scholarship thrills a teacher in India. Then came the soul-crushing questions She was thrilled to become the first teacher from a government-sponsored school in India to get a Fulbright exchange award to learn from U.S. schools. People asked two questions that clouded her joy.

From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary.

Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood

@lrozen
Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

My thoughts are with the families of these servicemembers, and their loved ones.

And I continue to pray for the safety of every servicemember and the recovery of those wounded in these operations.

May God protect our troops.

This. Trump sees a chance to distract from Epstein and to play the petty tyrant, but there are real people — Americans and Iranians — with families and hopes and dreams and beating hearts like ours that pay the price.
