Today, Eastern Shipbuilding Group began construction on Washington's first new ferry in 11 years. I inherited a ferry system in crisis, with 11 ferries over 40 years old and 4 ferries lost to retirement in the past decade. Cancelations were high, and crew retention was flagging. Today signifies...

I don't believe that Donald Trump believes in much of anything. I don’t believe he has a moral core. In fact, I believe he holds people of faith in contempt. Religion for him is just one more tool in his toolbox to divide us in order to dominate us.

I proposed a historic investment to build and preserve affordable housing. The Legislature stepped up with more than $200 million in a unanimous vote. That investment, in addition to bills that make it easier to build more housing, will make our state more affordable.

I know “enjoy the camps” was a shitty enjoinder to various electoral disagreements but there absolutely are camps and it’s an unspeakable evil a lot of people saw coming

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

I was on @kuow.org's Week In Review, discussing the proposed millionaire's tax, Mayor Katie Wilson's State of the City address, and whether local efforts to create friction for ICE are useful or merely performative. With host Bill Radke, Republican consultant Randy Pepple, and KUOW's Maleeha Syed.

Back on the floor for the Day of Remembrance, a solemn day remembering the incarceration of Japanese Americans for no other reason than their race. It is of course particularly poignant at a time when American citizens and residents are once again being incarcerated on the basis of race #waleg

Can we stop saying this is about deportation? This is about detention. Deportations are down but we've got new makeshift detention centers either already built, or planned all across the country

it also kind of ignores that what is causing this isn't imperial dynamics come home to roost. it's *substantial increase in antiracism and anti-imperialism* has led to *massive fascist backlash.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I want to talk about AltNPS, Minneapolis, #AltGov, and Luddites. One of my fears have come true. I knew this would happen when I made my AltNPS video, but it sucks to be right. And I know I'm not American, and I may not have the "right" to do so, but I will, because this is history repeating. 🧵

We’re not calling ICE the Gestapo because we think it’s a cool insult for social media. We’re calling ICE the Gestapo because they’re terrorizing and murdering people. Like the Gestapo did.

Do we know why they're holding people instead of deporting? What reason are they giving for building all these detention centers? apnews.com/article/ice-...  ICE says a Cuban immigrant died in a suicide attempt. A witness says guards pinned and choked him

People who want to be elected to high office usually want to make history - in a way in which they are fondly remembered as examples of great leadership. Our leaders have now been granted the rare chance to make such history. They must find the courage to take that chance.
