The tail of the #NoKingsProtest has just left Cal Anderson. That’s over 1.5 miles full of people and not a single report of property damage.

You go, Chief. 💙 KUOW

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move

What a great story. Thank you, Terry Wood and @seattletimes While hiking a chain of Cascade trails, a veteran hiker faced a fork in the trail: keep hiking or get helicoptered off a ridge by search-and-rescue personnel. https://t.co/adPRgyCLhY

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee was a great American. I had the honor of working with her during her nearly 30 years in Congress. No matter the issue - from delivering racial justice to building an economy for working people - she was unrelenting in her leadership. Jill and I

An actual hero. This is what America First looks like when it’s a lived ethos, rather than a mask for narcissism and ambition.

Tardibono: The synergy of workforce development and public safety

📢 BREAKING —The UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) recognises '#HarmReduction' in a historic *first*. 70%+ of the Commission's 53 members voted to keep the reference, despite Russia's & China's opposition. #HarmReductionSavesLives https://t.co/0kkqXPCWOW

Biden using the term "an illegal" is deeply, deeply upsetting. Sure he talked positively about Dreamers afterwards, but this rightward turn from so many in the Democratic Party in policy and rhetoric on immigration is so disheartening and shows a really awful and quick backslide.

We need you again. Our activism is working but we can't stop now.  ➡ sign in PRO on HB 2065 by 12:30 p.m. on Friday, February 23, and tell Washington lawmakers if a law is unjust going forward, it must also apply retroactively. https://t.co/tfWR5Xg06N #WaLeg

But rich people like me are not the true job creators: middle-class consumers are. All empirical economic evidence shows that a thriving middle class is the cause of economic growth, not its consequence.

How do we build resilient, safe communities? For decades, we’ve been sold the lie that more enforcement and harsher punishments are the answer. But in reality, by the time the criminal legal system makes contact with a community, someone has already been hurt.

Those whose public safety solution is to “lock more people up” rarely explain how. Every part of our system, from courts to jails, is stretched beyond capacity. Public defenders are the latest justice system partners to push their breaking points. My oped: https://t.co/4pfYas1wmp
