We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

If the current margins keep up this election will be decided by as few as 100 votes. If you can get out there and cure ballots in Seattle, please do it this weekend!

We've been organizing in immigrant communities talking about climate, displacement and migration for the past two years. It's been a tremendous learning experience, and a testament to the resilience and leadership of immigrants and refugees.

I'm so happy to finally get to showcase this work!
Today, we’re proud to announce the Climate Displaced Leaders Series available now on our website and YouTube platform. Listen to the voices of immigrants and refugees directly impacted by climate displacement on climatedisplacedleaders.org

Probably not the most important thing to base your vote on but I can attest that for the three years we lived in a shared house @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social was hands down the best roommate I've ever had.

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

Pop Culture creates public opinion more than anything. Within that Andor was also perhaps the most uniquely ripe moment for this kind of organizing I've ever seen. Really impressed by this work and reflections from the good folks at Get Free!
"We saw an opportunity in the final season of 'Andor' and now many more people across races, backgrounds and genders have joined our ranks for truth and reparations — and have already dealt major blows to the MAGA regime’s agenda."

My partner's very sweet elderly cat needs an expensive medical procedure (not covered by pet insurance). She's been unemployed the past few months and can't afford it. If you can chip in to help it would mean a lot:

I know they have nothing else in their lives, but I will never understand why folks like Cuomo and Weiner will keep trying to come back into public life after their disgrace... Do like literally anything else.

Every single Democratic operative in NYC better line up behind the party's nominee for Mayor. Anyone who works against the party's nominee should be made anathema.
