Y’all I don’t want to be rude but there is no one-size-fits-all rule to protest and you should ignore anyone/any meme that says otherwise. Protest is a practice. You learn as you go, and it makes sense to start within your comfort zone. Watch the people around you, stay alert and use your judgment.

I believe this means @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social has won a sole endorsement of *every single Democratic Party organization* that has made endorsements in the mayor's race. Wow. Impressive.
Katie Wilson, the labor organizer and Transit Riders Union leader, won the sole endorsement of the 37th District Democrats in the Seattle mayor’s race yesterday. It’s a blow to incumbent Bruce Harrell, who lives in the 37th and represented the area on city council.
