RIGHT ON 👊🏽

I voted YES on 50 (a temporary measure to level the playing field) and my ballot was already counted.

Join me— remember to vote, and tell your friends and neighbors to do the same. #VoteYesOnProp50

I don't expect them to start anytime soon either.

I do however expect Bluesky's lawyers to take note that hosting content which violates federal law may implicate them in future lawsuits, when/if the rule of law is restored.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

Approximately 10,000 people marched to the Capitol on January 6th.

That means very likely *your city alone* has more people rallying to defend democracy today than the entire authoritarian faction was able to muster to destroy it.

Don’t ever let them make you believe you’re in the minority.

Rural hospitals are at risk of shutting down because of federal Medicaid cuts, which means:

❌ Fewer doctors
❌ Longer drives to hospitals
❌ Delayed emergency care

Every Washingtonian deserves access to a hospital, no matter where they live.
'I don’t sleep well at night.' Washington’s rural hospitals brace for Medicaid cuts, possible closures
When changes to the federal Medicaid program take effect in about a year, rural hospitals could face closures, leaving people to drive an hour or more to the next closest options.

No Kings Chandler was a success! 5,000 people showed up to support democracy! Organized by East Valley Unite, the powerful aerial message "NO KINGS IN THE USA" showed just how many people say "No Kings", even in suburban Arizona.

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park.

Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through.

The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.

Absolutely outrageous.
