The scenes from Los Angeles are a stark reminder that Trump's mass deportation agenda has already begun—a deliberate assault on immigrant families that violates our most basic values of human dignity and due process.
Make no mistake: these are not targeted operations against dangerous criminals.

Thank you @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social ! I appreciate your leadership and your partnership during this challenging time.
“Let me be clear: we are not facing this alone. Seattle, King County, our state and federal delegations, our provider partners, and advocates have shown time and again what strong regional partnership looks like — we have built these programs together, and we will defend them together.”

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The Rinck, Evans, and Foster campaigns are now officially ranked 2nd, 9th, and 13th, respectively, in total votes received in general elections in Seattle going back to 1973. AMR now holds the top two spots. And counting is far from done.

I’m going to put in an inquiry on this. I have a lot of questions about how enforcement is currently being conducted.

Seattle, I'm proud of you. You showed you care about our most vulnerable neighbors by donating 2,000 pounds -- one ton! -- of food to help food banks serving people who may lose SNAP benefits. #Cascadia cares for and protects our residents. 💙🤍💚 Thanks @alexis4seattle.bsky.social for stopping by!

As we consult newspaper endorsements while filling out our ballots, keep in mind that in 1911 the founder of the Seattle Times called Washington's new workman's compensation law the "worst the legislature enacted" because it would "prevent new capital from entering the state."

🚨 The Trump-Vance administration is cutting off food assistance for 42 million people, even though funds are available. Ending SNAP isn’t fiscal policy; it’s cruelty. They’re using hunger as a political weapon and we’re suing to stop this unlawful and immoral act. seiu.co/49pAeQ4

We deserve better. Dehumanizing our neighbors by using photos of them on their worst days without their consent is unacceptable. We have a lot of work to do to address homelessness, but this only moves us further from that goal by othering real people in an attempt to score cheap political points.
