The Governor just announced that he's planning an "all cuts budget," but frankly, Washingtonians can't afford more cuts.

Tell the Governor and lawmakers to make mega-millionaires and billionaires pay what they owe so we can fund programs Washingtonians need ⬇️

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

2025 was the worst year of layoffs since the pandemic. AI automation played a huge role in this, allowing large corporations to automate and layoff thousands of people. 207,572 are without income AND there are more unemployed people than jobs. We need a basic income!

After two National Guard soldiers were shot in Washington, D.C. last week, several U.S. pundits and politicians were quick with their descriptions of the alleged attacker. They erroneously assumed that he brought his “culture” or “society” to the United States.

If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive?

Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy?

Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet?

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.

By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

“ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien.”
New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets
