Being called “progressive” isn’t the same as practicing progress. I wrote about what it means for Seattle to truly listen to Black voices—not just invite us into the room, but hear us when we challenge power. My latest op-ed in the South Seattle Emerald: southseattleemerald.org/voices/2026/...

OPINION | If Seattle Wants to Be Progressive, It Must Learn to Listen to Black Voices
The school-meals debate and the departure of Police Chief Shon Barnes reveal a city too willing to speak for Black Seattle and too reluctant to listen.

Had an amazing learning experience on the political world as an LGBTQ+ individual. Was with other political leaders and candidates. Thanks to @victoryinstitute.bsky.social The future of representative government starts now with community members stepping forward and running for office.

I have never been a fan of David Hogg, I have always been against him and shared my view with WA State DNC members during the February DNC elections. I spoke my mind and predicted he will be a stain on the party and it is all coming to fruition.

David Hogg's White Tears, Explained
The controversy over the DNC election is a perfect example of media bias, the Democratic Party's white problem and why everyone hates DEI

Kudos to all those who went out to protest. I didn’t go and did not plan on going. I did my protest November 5th 2024 with my vote. All what Is happening now was told during rhe Harris/Walz campaign. .

According to @hunterw.bsky.social, Cory Booker is now cutting into the Senate's schedule for today, meaning it's not just a performance, it's an actual act of obstruction and resistance. This is the kind of leadership we need!

I witnessed something new—a fresh movement taking shape in Seattle. @alexis4seattle.bsky.social is leading the way, building a progressive activism movement that unites and inspires. Her leadership is exactly what our city needs, and I’m excited to support her reelection to Seattle City Council!

Mayor Bruce Harrell has always been an all boys club person. He does not work for the people but for the 1% and businesses. He has always been a sexist and homophobe. The city administration under his leadership is nothing but pure toxic environment. www.kuow.org/stories/moni...

The empathy struggle when cuts hit WA’s Trump country
They're squealing east of the mountains about the federal job cuts and the disruption caused by tariffs, Danny Westneat writes. One awkward question is: Should we care?

I understand the confusion and anger from Democrats right now. However, one thing that would be super counterproductive is forming a strategy going forward that ignores the 3 groups who voted correctly: Black people, Jewish people, and the LGBTQ community. Don't abandon our base to win bigots.

I really want someone to explain this out of touch with “working class” rhetoric that is being said of Democrats. Bernie says this a lot yet has nothing to show helping working class with his name for all the years he has been in office. We have a stronger grassroots led party

As Reorg is happening within the Party, elected officials should not hold vital party positions especially chair positions. Also former elected officials should not be out next DNC, we need to have a non stuck up person who can relate to all. Not an elitist with selfish interest.

This appointment is how hitler built his cabinet and movement. This is how dictators take over. Democracy is getting bleaker with each nomination.
