Fun fact: When I started at the Everett Herald in 2000, I made $20 an hour. Today -- 25 years later -- the Everett Herald is offering its newsroom workers a base salary of $20.50 an hour.

Get real, people.

I'm standing with @everettnewsguild.bsky.social and I urge you to do the same.

Years of a bipartisan ceding of power to finance destroyed civic engagement and reactionaries emboldened by a lack of accountability after 2008 are gleefully and openly enacting mass sadism and plunder of public good. And the nominal opposition is too busy punching left.

Thank you Ella Teevan, candidate for the DSA National Political Committee, for meeting with SnoCo DSA members!

We always welcome the opportunity to learn more about DSA candidates and what they want to bring to the socialist table. 🌹

This is a composition of text and two photos. The photos are of Ella Teevan speaking at Seattle DSA and a recent photo of her speaking to SnoCo DSA members. The text says "Thank you to DSA National Political Committee candidate Ella Teevan for meeting with SnoCo DSA members!

A WIN for workers! WA Bill 5041 was signed yesterday, allowing striking workers to qualify for unemployment benefits.

This bill shifts power from corporations to the workers by providing protection from businesses who stubbornly refuse to bargain with their unionized workers.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

If you sat down a random panel of Americans and told them what Republicans are currently doing, my guess is that the vast majority simply wouldn't believe you. It comes off like you're describing a Bond villain. The reality sounds wildly different & more extreme than what they hear organically.
