It will still feel quite regressive here if this passes without replacing the sales tax revenue in cities! I'm not sure why the governor is ignoring that huge impact but we have not been given tools to address this (and the gov killed a good one last session!). bsky.app/profile/dodd...
anyway, please fix the Eyman-Gregoire 1% cap while you're at it.
Thanks to Rep. Duerr for simplifying the bill in Local Gov! @davina425.bsky.social

so much of right now is being asked to believe that a known creep wasn't a creep when he was with one specific other known creep
be so for real
the epidemic of men launching podcasts about nothing has gotten out of control
to combat this I am launching a podcast WITH A WOMAN (veteran climate journalist Tracy Wholf) to talk about stuff that actually matters (the planet being destroyed by the worst people alive)

(there's a reason I've refused to go back into tech and am instead earning education to help regulate it)
How do I sign up for more snark?
Building supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless is the right moral thing to do. It’s also the right financial thing to do, since it actually saves public money. It’s a no brainer, so don’t let wrong-headed ideology get in the way.
Tell your leaders to build supportive housing.
Of course the dad from The Parent Trap went full MAGA cult—such is the curse of the Millennial 🤣
Anthropic: We lost a contract because we refuse to build Skynet.
OpenAI: We'll do it
To be fair it was not *my* shovel nor do I still have it 🤣
At the very end I pop in the frame - but I had my own shovel and you can't have it.
The few, the proud, the almost-pictured.
Abolish ICE is merely the starting position. This below is the correct one.
There are a lot of people with degrees and practical planning (and elected!) experience who make policy that doesn't result in more housing. No one should be shutting down concerns with claims of experience IMO.
I will not be gaslit about this. No one is saying he needs to publicly contort himself. He should apologize to the Black people he harmed just like he apologized to QE2 when he yelled fuck the queen in her presence. End of.
This was the whole point of right wing billionaires destroying newspapers and buying Twitter, Tik Tok, CBS, etc.
Flood the zone with shit. Create a dystopia where nobody knows what the fuck is going on, so they won’t ever be held to account.
Mayor Mark Mullet is making his pitch to the crowd, calling the 4 Line the biggest opportunity to "end the transit desert in east King County."
He says he's meeting with Dow Constantine on Thursday morning.
"You have a chance to connect us to the line at a fraction of the cost."
A short film about endometriosis has won a BAFTA, bringing much needed visibility to the disabling condition.
Endometriosis and adenomyosis robbed me of years of my life.
Countless surgeries, blood transfusions and hospital stays.
Doctors saying it was “no big deal”.
It’s a very big deal:
The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.
This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.
www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...
the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files
A Lewis Carroll character, from what I can tell.
Sad to report that HB 2095 — the vulnerable road users bill to make it so that you don’t have to prove to the court that you don’t force the truck to kill you — died in the Senate’s Law and Justice committee today. But don’t despair. The fight isn’t over, this is just the halfway point #waleg
Playing into culture wars instead of calling them out as billionaires’ way of distracting us from uniting against them is dumb.
We don’t need another dumb President.
zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!
The formers in Bothell tried to brand us the same way. It's what people who have no actual argument that resonates with voters do. Just flail around making stuff up in public comment.
It's embarrassing for them, especially with the repudiation they got from Woodinville voters a few months ago.
As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”
Good morning! Today would be a great day for #waleg to advance a bill that lifts the arbitrary 1% cap on levy increases, which is a MANDATED ANNUAL BUDGET CUT for local governments and school districts.
This is just like UBI. Every study shows it works and is more cost effective but societies‘ hatred of poor people means we‘d rather pay more to make them suffer.
