“Focus is a fundamental substance of democracy. It is particularly the substance of opposition.” – Ezra Klein

@ag_washington_state My message to the president: Follow the damn law. Today I joined Governor Bob Ferguson and other state leaders to reiterate Washington will protect its people, resources and values from a lawless presidential administration. Our state will defend and protect the rule of law.

Some institutions are ceasing their observations of cultural months.
But we won’t let them stop culture.

Today is the start of Black History month. Let’s continue to honor and uplift it every following month, too.
