Feeling a little raw tonight after the second night in a row of mass, coordinated abductions in the south end. ICE is terrorizing my community. I am exhausted and everyone I know is exhausted and we nowhere near done fighting back. This is our city, not the fascists’.

I appreciate seeing people plant their ideological flags clearly, so here's mine: I'm pro-housing, pro-worker, pro-public investment, pro-immigrant, pro-union, pro-innovation, and unapologetically pro-government-actually-working. (1/_)

Not in Tukwila but live in a neighboring city? PLEASE STILL WRITE IN. Policies like this don't stay within city limits. When one city adopts a banishment ordinance, others often follow. Regional problems deserve regional voices. @housingjustice.bsky.social @nlihc.org #Housing #Homelessness

There are no words for the amount of disgust and anger I feel when hearing of another neighbor abducted. To know they're increasing is infuriating. Strong protections are local protections, and it all starts within: within our hearts, our families, our communities, and our local government.

My great-grandparents fled Minsk 100 years ago this year, escaping the violence of the Russian Empire as Ashkenazi Jews. Litvaks, to be precise. My Bubbe was born here. They did not escape so their descendant would stay silent while Zionists commit even more atrocities in the name of Judaism. 🧵

Watching the news about Trump’s Iran war strategy and I keep coming back to one basic leadership principle: You build coalitions before you make massive decisions that affect millions of people. Not after. Not once the consequences start piling up. 🧵 apnews.com/article/trum... #Trump #IranWar

Trump side-stepped diplomacy on his way to war in Iran. Now, he's asking China and others for help
President Donald Trump relied on his gut and largely side-stepped diplomatic coordination as he made the decision to launch strikes on Iran with Israel.

If you’re still unsure why the Washington House declined to issue these three press credentials, it helps to look at how they actually use their platforms. Let’s review. I've covered Jonathan Choe and Brandi Kruse, so now let's look at Ari Hoffman. 🧵

A federal judge just ruled that Brandi Kruse, Jonathan Choe, and Ari Hoffman are not entitled to press credentials for the WA Leg. Kruse now claims journalists supporting the ruling are “siding with the government instead of the 1st Am.” That’s not what’s happening. 🧵 #WALeg #WApolitics #Journalism
