As the cost of living in urban areas becomes so out of reach for many WA families, ppl are pushed into fire zones & flood plains; then they are more at harm due to impacts of climate change. These are equity and environmental justice issues; need compassionate solutions for vulnerable communities.

Oh, but see Pharisee is an antisemitic slur. Jews are Pharisees. I don't actually care if you think it's a "metaphor." JEWS ARE PHARISEES. The tanaaim are the Rabbinic ancestors. When you make a whole thing about how Pharisees are the bad guys, you are being ANTISEMITIC.

Republicans want you to believe there’s only two options for healthcare:
Keep subsidizing insurance companies
Give money directly to the people (which will ensure disabled and chronically ill individuals lose their healthcare and many will die)
There’s a third option
Universal healthcare for all

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer.
Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality.

In early results, Katie Wilson trails incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by 7 points, which would put her within reach of catching him in late returns. This is going to be a nailbiter.

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.
If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.
Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

This is such a weird ongoing line of attack from Harrell? Anyone who spends two minutes with Wilson will quickly see she’s a huge policy nerd (complimentary), who cares about delivering results for people not just sound bites.
"I try to use data when I speak, as opposed to just hollow criticisms," Harrell says, as usual suggesting that Wilson is a nitwit with no ideas instead of a labor leader who's been instrumental in passing progressive taxes in Seattle and minimum wage increases in several cities.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.
It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.
We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.
