The Legislature has refused to provide sufficient funding to the Department of Natural Resources for years, so DNR is preparing to close campgrounds.
Public services cost money and austerity is bad. Let's fund our parks and campgrounds and cancel these cuts.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.
They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
Lawless DHS agents are out of control. Murdering people in the streets, detaining children on their way home from school, and terrorizing our communities. That's why I voted FUCK NO on the DHS funding package. Secretary Noem must be impeached. We have to stop this fascist takeover of our county.
The University of Washington Center for Human Rights reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is still accessing state license data to aid mass deportation, despite state efforts to limit such access.

When we act together, our collective power is unstoppable. Here's how ⬇️
I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

I’m deeply disappointed to learn that Cascade PBS has chosen to eliminate its newsroom and lay off 17 union workers. As a former Crosscut columnist, I believe strongly in long-form, local journalism. Seattle needs a thriving local news ecosystem. #thisisyourcity
I am demanding the immediate release of Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry, a decorated and disabled veteran, detained during a citizenship interview today. My office has been in contact with the family and are working with Rep. Smith, Sen. Cantwell, and Sen. Murray’s offices to bring Mr. Chaudhry home.
Agents have detained Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry, a disabled U.S. military vet and outspoken critic of U.S.-led war, after his naturalization hearing today at the Tukwila, WA ICE office. His wife, Melissa Chaudhry, ran against Rep. Adam Smith last year on a pro-Palestine platform.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
Trump is dismantling the CFPB — an agency that has returned $21 BILLION to consumers and stood up to corporate greed.
Democrats used this agency to fight for working people. Republicans are tearing it apart to give back to billionaires. Let’s break down some examples ⬇️

Let's do this!
Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.
Violence like this has no place in a democracy.
I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Trying to pass laws to defend protesters’ rights is a lonely battle on Capitol Hill.
A new report from @warren.senate.gov details Elon Musk’s reign of corruption in Washington, itemizing 130 dodgy dealings in 130 days.
EXCLUSIVE ⤵️
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.
A map of the US that shows all of the No Kings events registered for June 14.
As Trump defies courts, ignores the Constitution and punishes dissenters, all while he and his friends get even richer, June 14 needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet. There are over 700 events planned for No Kings Day. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Excellent op-ed from Seattle's next mayor, Katie Wilson (@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social), listing out five ways to lower housing costs:
