What a joy to see @petersagal.bsky.social at the historic Mount Baker Theatre tonight. Can't believe it was more than 23 years ago that I had the privilege of being a contestant on wwdtm's bluff the listener. Still a highlight

Every child should be free to be themselves, learn and grow, and feel safe at school. But initiatives I-001 and I-638 are playing politics with our kids and threatening children’s safety. When your ballot arrives in a few weeks, vote NO on I-001 and I-638. #NoHateWAState

Three high school girls are standing on a reddish-brown school track, looking at the camera and smiling while holding signs that say No Hate in WA State: Vote No on I-001 & I-638.

Hey @marketplace.org, if someone is paying off their credit card each month, does that count in the number of more people using credit? I use BNPL all the time even tho I have the money to pay for the purchase. So, I'm wondering how many more out there are doing the same

No one has ever come up with an explanation for where the billionaires will putatively go, given that 41 other states have some form of income tax, and also do not have their social and professional networks.

Hi! I'm a Washington Post reporter who covers the PNW and LGBTQ issues. I'm looking for some good stories to launch on this fall -- ideally deeply personal profiles that illuminate larger issues. If you have ideas, please get in touch!

When I first started teaching, there was an accounting class in my program. The accounting I took at WSU and in grad school didn't get into payroll taxes, so I was surprised to learn about the cap. That never made sense to me. So, removing that has been something I've thought about for 20 years

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

@Keds_Economist has an answer to what a strong policy solution to AI job loss should look like. It centers on three things: 1. Fix short-term unemployment 2. Establish long-term unemployment 3. Make working-class jobs suck less What do you think?

Who benefits when policymakers say the economy is becoming more “efficient”? @nickhanauer.bsky.social explains why that word may be hiding a much bigger story about power, profits, and who gets left behind in the economy. ⬇️ bit.ly/MarketHumanism

The old economic paradigm taught policymakers to treat nearly every policy that could help working people—higher wages, stronger labor standards, corporate accountability—as a threat to the economy. This week on the pod, @nickhanauer.bsky.social pitches a new paradigm! ⬇️ 🎧: bit.ly/MarketHumanism
