Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.

Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

Having Nordstrom at the top of the list for Westlake station when they have had their store entrance to the station closed to light rail riders in perpetuity…

Great opportunity to bring back the dark Biden memes with laser eyes and give him credit for one more thing

SCL doesn’t ask the public if we want safe transmission lines.
SPU doesn’t ask the public if we want safe watermains.
Boeing Field doesn’t ask the public if we want a safe runway.
WSDOT doesn’t ask the public if we want safe bridges.
Why does SDOT put safe streets up for debate?

I think it’s the right call. Moving the date is honest and further establishes credibility. Goes a way to earn trust and credibility with a cohort that already supports her. The plan commitment at the same time is critical.

Love that it starts with circulation plans! Do you have intersection daylighting and neck downs in one of those sections (paving, etc)?

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Plan to order Washington State Patrol to tail ICE and to look for any infringement. Impound vehicles without plates, or tinted windows. Get them out of the state.

If you're not shouting "Abolish ICE, arrest the murderers, hold trials," you're normalizing domestic terrorism at the hands of the trump government at this point.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position and the absolute bare minimum.

The Big Beautiful Bill funded ICE. The organization is rotten at all levels. Dissolve ICE. Prosecute them and ban them from federal or law enforcement employment.

You were a far more effective AG than governor. WA voters are losing confidence that you know where you are, and are meeting the needs of fighting an authoritarian federal administration at the right level and speed. You’re in a boxing rink an need a coach to tell you to get out there and fight.

Withhold WA taxes. Support taxes to fill the gap of federal appropriations. Make them fight us in court for every inch. Fight fire with fire.

Abolish ICE, prohibit them all from future federal or law enforcement employment, and prosecute at every level.

Great point about the futility of looking at a tracking app when the bus doesn’t show up because your stop is near the beginning of the route.
