We got a pro-Santos mailer from the "Jackson Legacy Fund" PAC. Major funders appear to be realtors, google, housing construction labor union, and the major hospital association. 🤔 #waleg #WAelex

@savefamilyfarming.orgThe embattled Lower Snake River dams are being accused of killing fish — by a pro-dam advocate! But the reason is not at all what you might expect.

@krystalmarx.bsky.socialServing on the @workingfamilies.org MLK Committee and getting to interview and endorse this incredible leader was an honor.
@rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social, bring that fight to the County - we've got your back!
@robertcruickshank.comIt's just wild to me that Democrats in #waleg and the No on I-645 campaign let this talking point take hold even knowing it could sink the millionaires tax -- especially legislators' absurd refusal to require voter approval to lower the threshold. If I-645 passes it will be a huge blow.
@robertcruickshank.comWA:
Will voters enable the attack on trans rights and pass I-001 and I-638?
Will voters repeal or uphold the millionaires tax?
Will WA preserve a liberal Supreme Court majority or hand it to the right-wing?
Does MGP hang on in WA-3?
Will Dems grow their #waleg majority -- and by how much?
@spokanerising.comSEPA reform is literally so essential. There is no way we can solve our housing/transit/climate crisis without it.
Get it done, #waleg.
@hcfawa.bsky.socialRep. Jayapal said worsening coverage, premiums, & medical debt are fueling public anger. In the poll, 70% criticized for-profit insurers—up 8 points—and 73% viewed Rx drug companies negatively.
@savefamilyfarming.orgAs evidence of the harm #waleg ’s #farming overtime law is causing #farmworkers continues to mount, the state of CO legislators were able to achieve a bipartisan solution.

@robertcruickshank.comOne of the biggest problems we have in defending the millionaires tax is that Dems in #waleg wrote it without any consideration of the politics and messaging when defending it at the ballot box. Dems aren’t going to lower the threshold. But they carelessly handed the WA GOP ammo to argue Dems would.

@savefamilyfarming.orgThe Washington Supreme Court recently heard arguments over whether Ecology provided the technical assistance required by state law before imposing penalties. What they decide could have implications for how regulations are enforced against farmers across WA.

@mclindblom.bsky.socialFor sure, but the state also had 27 years to adjust to I-695. (For newcomers, the #waleg was so moved by that tax revolt they made the cuts anyway, even after I-695 was tossed out of court.) To be cynical, it "freed up" car tab tax potential for the unbuilt monorail and Sound Transit.
@savefamilyfarming.org@wadepthealth.bsky.social and the media exposed that ELLA’s confirmation was false. When an organization tells a state agency, as well as the general public, something that is blatantly not true, that’s called a lie.

@seiu925.bsky.socialThank you Senator Emily Alvarado and Representative Mia Gregerson for visiting one of our union child care programs to learn about multicultural early childhood education and how the Somali community is dealing with racist attacks against our families.
@whatcomfamilyfarmers.orgMore farms are closing daily as farmers face costs that are often far exceeding what they get paid for their crops. This has led to worsening #mentalhealth among farmers, as they grapple with crushing pressures and a looming sense of failure.
