Itsa me, Erica!

We need to stop reinventing the wheel we know how to build stacked, larger, family sized homes on a single lot. No need to get more creative, or overthink this. Just build what we always have. They’ll sell, they are beloved, they need to be allowed again

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

happy twin peaks day 🌲🥧☕️

The reason I’ll be proposing an amendment to remove the $550M corporate giveaway in the income tax bill is simple:

To avoid these cuts to K12 and other crucial services.

Washington’s working families can’t afford to hand half a billion dollars to businesses that already got a tax break via HR 1.

Under Mamdani, City to Probe Businesses Where Most Workers Take Zero Sick Days Employers will be subject to an investigation by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection if more than half their employees took zero paid time off in a given year.

New York City will now investigate businesses where more than 50% of workers take zero sick days.

Under Zohran Mamdani the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will flag such businesses.

As of 2014, most workers in New York are legally entitled to time off.

Biggest thing dems could do for their current position imo is have true moral convictions. They love to wait till the poll tells them something is confirmed Okay and by that time it’s too late. You should try believing in something, anything, the first time - even at pt of risk

the Bonica-Grumbach thesis is doing an amazing job and is being recognized more and more

New #Union numbers were released this morning by BLS, showing that in 2025, 16.5 million workers in the United States were represented by a union, an increase of 463,000 from 2024 and the highest number of unionized workers in the U.S. in 16 years. 1/

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

SB 6045, a bill to allow farmworker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on. This bill is critical for WA farmworkers like Windmill mushroom workers who've been fighting to get a contract since 2022.

If you live in WA tell your state Senator to support SB 6045.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

Hey #Washington!! You have a busy calendar this week. Support #SB6045!!!

Just a reminder as we're talking about surveillance cameras: Seattle's new real time crime center went live last May so we've had that for LESS THAN A YEAR. The ALPR/license plate reader expansion on all SPD vehicles? That was voted on less than 2 years ago, and then it took a while to implement.

No one ever has wanted what Federal Way has.

Seattle Renters: join the fight for affordability! We are extending the deadline for the Seattle Renter’s Survey to February 20 and we want to hear from as many different communities as possible.

We have SIX DAYS to get this out of the Washington State Senate. NEXT TUESDAY is the legislative deadline to get bills out their house of origin.

If it doesn't pass by then, it likely dies till 2027.

Since farmworkers were written out of labor laws in 1937, we have to win at the state level.

Government-issued Real IDs and driver’s licenses aren’t proof of citizenship, and most people aren’t walking around with a passport.

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

Wow. He was removed from his position in a Seattle suburb for supporting a student walkout against ICE. Looks like sweeping change will have to come to the Federal Way City Council, and oust the 4 pro-ICE councilmembers.

Federal Way politics are extremely bullshit; watching so many people turn out in support of Council President Moore gives me hope that y'all can get a better mayor and council over the next 4 years.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

We showed up loud and we showed up strong this morning at the Washington State Capitol to show that working people are energized and mobilized for a millionaire's tax in WA.

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.

Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

The funniest thing that could happen under a Mayor Katie Wilson is the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, the World Cup being successful and the Sonics returning

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

We couldn’t afford a Super Bowl 🏈commercial but we still made one. Go Seahawks!
