We have SIX DAYS to get this out of the Washington State Senate. NEXT TUESDAY is the legislative deadline to get bills out their house of origin.
If it doesn't pass by then, it likely dies till 2027.
Since farmworkers were written out of labor laws in 1937, we have to win at the state level.

SB6045, a bill to allow farmworker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on in WAs Senate. This bill is critical for WA farm workers like those at Windmill mushroom who have been fighting to get a contract since 2022. Take action today: act.seiu.org/a/waorganizi...

Best thing about bean soup? Pretty easy to make a bunch of tasty food, with plenty of leftovers that'll taste even better later.
Worst thing? It's a bunch of *tasty* food.
Gods, I'm so full.

Buddy if you are clicking the fucking AI button to tell you where to go on vacation I am telling you without judgment to save your money and just stay home, or pick a trip to Orlando and call it a day. You're already dead inside and the trip isn't going to help.

This was the horrifically predictable end result of "AI" getting into everything.
