It’s rough out there! I applied for housing in 2012 after I had my kid. I couldn’t find anything so I had to move out of state with family or be homeless. I moved back to WA and stayed on the list. 11 years later my name came up as “near the top“. I hope Katie Wilson can address the housing crisis.

The cost of this will be enormous And it will not change how many people are on SNAP. It’s going to create a massive amount of work for caseworkers. It’s absolutely asinine.….but so is everything else that’s happening right now.

If housing was more affordable I’d move back to Seattle in a heartbeat. I miss it up there. So much to do, so many good people. So much art and culture.

I’m in the same spot. I keep looking to leave but quickly realize I have to stay and fight. It’s why I get irritated when people start talking about leaving. They leave the most vulnerable behind to fight the fight.

I‘m resilient. I’ll make it through. Many won‘t though, like the younger trans folks. Best of luck on your thesis!

Not sure why you’re fishing for an argument online. Your vibe is very troll-like.

No, they should not have but they should have fought harder for healthcare.

My sleep is wrecked because of anxiety. Nightmares on the daily because of how tense the political climate is. I’m not going out in public as much and when I do I am hyper vigilant. And trying to make worst case scenario plans to escape if things get much worse…It’s exhausting to say the least. You?

I meant:...*I think most of them DON’T care*…

They all have healthcare so I think most of them care. I was thinking the same thing though, will they extend open enrollment or…..????…. Assuming it will pass which we all know it will not.

Honestly this feels like the end to me. I think this was the Dems last opportunity to stand up against fascism and they failed us.
