In the labor strife of the last few months, we see the clear impact of the two austerity budgets generated by the Wash. State Legislature in 2025-2026. Ferry worker sickouts; state employee walkouts; picketing by teachers and college staff: Each are consequences of deep cuts to state services.

For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs. It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

That's part of it. But there's also paying people more, reducing mandatory overtime, and other changes to improve retention. For example, when I was a home caregiver the money was ok, but only because I was working 60hrs a week. I lasted 6 months. Hiring more people won't help if they just quit.

Talk is cheap, @governorferguson.bsky.social. Ferry workers are driven to desperate measures by the fact that they can't strike and you stand in the way of any meaningful reform of Washington's tax system. Union members across Washington can't wait to primary you in 2028. #unionstrong @wfse.org

Hospitals are using AI to submit insurance claims, insurance companies are using AI to dispute or deny them, and costs are up for everyone under this broken system. No more AI denials. No more unnecessary administrative costs. We need Medicare for All.
The image shows a New York Times article titled "Battle of Hospital A.I. vs. Insurer A.I. Is Pushing Medical Costs Higher." It discusses the use of artificial intelligence by hospitals and health insurers, leading to increased medical expenses. A group of people in a room monitors multiple screens displaying data and charts.

The Warner Brothers tower. It has been tinted orange and is leaning at a 30-40' angle. It is surmounted by Trump's hair. The tower is wavering. The background is ominous, red-tinged clouds, through which peek a marching army of banner-waving demons.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪Scottish, Welsh, and Irish nationalist leaders declare right to self-determination at Cardiff summit

Leaders of the Scottish Nationalist Party, the Welsh Party Plaid Cymru, and Northern Ireland’s Sinn Féin declared their nations’ right to choose whether to remain part of the UK at a rare joint meeting in Cardiff on Monday, signing a memorandum of understanding stating: “Our nations have the right to self-determination. No Westminster government has the right to block democracy or undermine the principle that our people will decide their own future.”

The parties diverge on timing and method: the SNP wants a second independence referendum after Scotland’s narrow 2014 vote to remain in the UK; Sinn Féin seeks a vote on Irish reunification; and Plaid Cymru favors independence only in the longer term, with no immediate referendum push.
