I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Can confirm the Washington/Oregon relationship is the best. 🥰 Can also confirm the Washington/Idaho relationship is like neighbors who don’t make eye contact when mowing the lawn.

It’s us against the Trillionaire.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Washington State: this is immoral. We need to hold our state leaders feet to the fire on this.
NEW: A 2018 Washington state law was supposed to help workers who got sick cleaning up Hanford, a former federal nuclear weapons site. Eight years later, the DOE has spent nearly $12 million fighting to deny them benefits. with @cascadepbs.org

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt
Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

Washington voters, do not vote to subject our daughters to genital exams just to play sports. The Republican party of pedophiles and rapists is out of their GD minds. Stop them.
An initiative on the ballot in Washington State this fall would require families to pay for their daughters to have a genital exam or other sex test if they want to play sports AT ANY LEVEL, and the left is sleeping on it. I talked to KUOW:

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.
Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.

Fellow Washington State voters, don’t let the rich get away with not paying their fair share.
In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.
