See: #waleg acting like we don't have a damn near supermajority trifecta and we spend our power being sleazy shitheads
(or, if you're the state party chair Shasti Conrad, covering up and caping for domestic violence perps like Carmen Rivera because #loyalty)

Money crunch puts kibosh on WA state lawmakers’ wish lists With the state strapped for cash, Democrats’ chief budget writer in the Washington Senate has told colleagues there’s no money available for new spending they might desire next year.

One version of "temperament unfit for elected office" we don't talk enough is spineless sycophants.
We gotta stop endorsing people like June Robinson, vote her ass out Everett

Wishing all Islamophobes nothing but the best rotten bacon

Yay

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

Indivisibles

Teen Vogue rising after the 2016 election and dying after the 2024 election doesn't even feel like a metaphor as much as a microcosm of what is happening all over places that were once strong areas of resistance.

Imagine if it was Seattle though 😭😭😭😭

*Cop. 🫠

To my friends in Renton,
Mary Clymer is really nobody to be afraid of. It's not like she'd try to assault you or destroy your car in attempting to assault you. That would be her opponent who is the epitome of everything wrong with the Washington Democrat Party

The funny thing about racists is that they go after my Norwegian inspired first name that suggests I'm a Christian (I'm a very loud atheist).
Meanwhile, my last name is Filipino
Oh and my husband was born here because he's a Navy brat lol

The more I learn the more I'm horrified about the utter depravity of my politics abuse I discover my own complicity. But point is it's uglier than we realize. Vote your conscience folks there's a good chance the folks on your ballot dont have one

Sorry yeah it's vague, I really can't wait for Nov 5th. And yeah Kevin Nichols shitting on Issaquah for not building enough affordable housing like, oh wait, you mean you shat on the Urbanist for not *checks notes* lionizing her for the lack of affordable housing in Issy? lmao gtfo

What if the candidate's husband was the candidate's treasurer and they slam another candidate on unhinged and baseless name-calling Twitter tirades a week before the election 🙃

See: legislators who drive Teslas and become part of the wealthy elite for selling carbon data to governments (like that's not a conflict of interest) while ignoring sustainable and ethical food practices and policies then take kickbacks from energy lobbhists.
(Washington's 5th LD fwiw)

This is kinda what we call an inconvenient truth, but on the other hand, I will say that going vegetarian with most of my vegetarian meals ending up being vegan, is really not bad.

But I do side eye greenwashing environmentalists who dismiss the role of ag. because it means $$$ is their fave green

Seattle, Humpy didn't curse the Mariners.
That was Bruce Harrell with Humpy Day.

If you're running for legislature in the 5th LD this year, please stop mentioning
1. How you helped with the bomb cycle. On Black Diamond council we got zero communication and all of your online content was only for Issaquah
2. How you fought for bills you literally tried to kill (see: parking)

I love when Lisa Callan did that and then I went on to hear her exact words somehow end up in her former employee Zach Hall's carefully written speech for his appointment interview, and it was like aw, Sinderman, you little bitch.

Since Washington State loves to tax everything except the wealthy maybe we should tax AI usage since it's what the wealthy are using to make themselves richer while unemploying people

That's Sinderman calling people he doesn't like "activists" again

The way Bob Ferguson is mishandling (or more accurately) not handling ICE fascism is also enough of a reason to make him a one-term wonder.
Thanks for signing the clergy bill but kids aren't safe from ICE either

Fuck Sinderman and NWP ✨️

Hey um Democrats who only care about us when they gave something to gain don't care about us at all

I can't wait for PSE to weaponize these power outages to tell us to build more structures to power AI slop even though the reason for more power outages is due to the climate crisis more demand on our power grid both linked to AI

Seriously, if there's one thing we've funded and only funded, it's cops.

So way to actually tell me that you just want us to deplete our revenues faster by allowing us to divert more and more municipal funds to traffic stops.
Seriously fuck that. Spend time here when it's not GOTV for fucking once.

a cartoon character in a suit and tie stands in front of a fire escape Alt: Principal Skinner gif where he's wondering "Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."

POV: You're in a small, historically Republican town
Democrat LD candidate: AHH, that means I gotta show how much THE COPS LOVE ME *puts up FOP endorsements on signs*

1. Republicans will always hate you
2. The actual cops still hate and distrust you
3. Now our town hates you for obvious patronizing

All I want for my birthday is an end to genocide and state legislators who give a shit

I am now officially too old and too wise to be a member of the Young Democrats.

Officially marked safe by being tokenized by dinosaurs

Looks like Sinderman is Sindermanning
