Trump’s ICE is arresting firefighters who are ACTIVELY FIGHTING ONE OF THE LARGEST WILDFIRES IN THE UNITED STATES. There aren’t words to describe this cruelty. It’s absurd and completely against America's best interests. https://t.co/TtOmpsUbgA

Trump's policies are great for billionaire tech CEOs and horrible for literally everyone else.
Today’s jobs report shows the Trump admin’s policies are slowing job creation, increasing unemployment and disproportionately harming Black workers. America’s unions will keep fighting for all workers to have the freedom, fairness and security they need. https://t.co/G14lG3H2KN

The cut that Uber keeps from each Seattle passenger fare has soared from $4.69 in 2019 to $13.06 in 2024.

Closing a neighborhood grocery store like the Kent East Hill Fred Meyer is downright devastating to the community. It's a shame that companies like Kroger continuously put corporate profit ahead of the communities they serve. https://t.co/EsbNss7mQD
