No I do not like how Tina Kotek handled Preschool for all, moda center (and more), but all of that would be inconceivably worse under Drazan. And what Drazan would likely do to further endanger immigrants and trans people and restrict abortion rights? Voting my conscience is voting for Kotek.

This is outrageous. Un-American. Straight from an authoritarian playbook. ICE has no business knowing how you voted. It’s time to wake the hell up. Our democracy is under threat.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
Public media is under fire. With $1.1B in funding gutted and the CPB closed, over 550 layoffs have hit stations nationwide. I love PBS and NPR for news and education. If you do too, join me in taking action now. app.sosha.ai/s/pnusx0Io

I guess it wouldn’t be an attempt to return to Jim Crow without some abuse of state authority against uppity negroes.
The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas. This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting up to four new blue seats.

We need to see your name on the list of representatives calling for impeachment.
Mr. President, I urge you to take the same energy (and money) you are using to fight in Iran and put it toward: 1. Training the next generation of tradesmen, health care professionals, tech workers, and writers—no more debt for higher education. [1/2]
