@emmettoconnell The #Yelm school levy failed and I'm sick about it. We need about 450 more Yes votes. There is a possiblity of an April election for 1 more try.

@emmettoconnell Both our NPR stations. KING-FM is also public, but not NPR.
Meanwhile, #KSER in Snohomish County has _not_ yet left Twitter. KSER listeners might encourage them to do so.

CW: politics, no kings, WA state republicans counter-protest lol
"Republican legislators spent a record number of hours during the legislative session claiming that this millionaire tax would ensure the NBA would never return. They argued billionaires would never subject their millionaire players to a 9.9% hit on income over $1 million. They warned of a millionaire exodus."

Social media ban legislation is fueled by shaky science and pop psychology. Blanket bans ignore nuanced data, violate First Amendment rights, and isolate marginalized youth.
Instead of prohibition, we should advocate for student-led digital wellness.

Brandishing to intimidate is illegal. But Burien police declined charges after a woman flashee a gun at students protesting ICE, arguing they couldn’t prove it was a real firearm and claiming her actions were “justified” because of “nationwide incidents regarding violence observed at protests.”

What in the everlasting hell.
The governing board for soccer in North America told the Sounders largest supporter group that a Black Lives Matter flag was racist.

This is not something I noticed until this morning, but the Sounders App on my phone is now Sounders + Reign
That is pretty effing awesome

The Seattle Sounders unveiled the Salish Sea Kit, a blue-and-green design inspired by Coast Salish textile art. Created with Indigenous artists, it honors the region’s cultural and environmental heritage. Proceeds benefit local organizations. #ebfg #soundersfc #mastodonfc

Whenever someone in #waleg mentions local control in the #Homes4WA debate:
"Local control does not even require overt racial hatred. That is what is so insidious about it. It will automatically perpetuate racial segregation."
https://furmancenter.org/research/iri/essay/housing-discrimination-and-local-control
This has been true in Washington for an entire generation. Many Washington legislators came of age in an era of #localcontrol making housing segregation worse

Another note on the #joekent talk at the Simi Bird for governor event last night.
He changed his mind about voting late.
During the campaign, he has advised his voters to vote late, based on seriously warped disinformation about how ballots were processed. Now it seems like he is at least partially blaming that thinking on his loss.
-
Joe Kent did a lot of things last night at a Simi Bird for governor event:
* He announced he's running again in 2024
* He hinted he was going to sue over the signature verification system
* He also did some bad analysis on voter turnout. He said his voters just did not turn out, especially in Clark County.

All the counties involved in the #wa03 machine recount will recount and certify at a different pace. The last certification I can find was Skamania, which isn't going to be until a week from today
The earliest was Cowlitz, which finished up everything yesterday https://tdn.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/elections/kents-recount-gives-both-3rd-district-candidates-one-more-vote-in-cowlitz-county/article_2c831ee2-7b3f-11ed-9957-eb61214bad84.html
Wasn't able to find any information about Pacific County.

Recount in #wa03 started in Cowlitz County yesterday, with the canvassing board ruling that there was one additional vote for both Perez and Kent out of 44k+ cast

Some important context for the Kent recount request
1. Despite mentioning signature verification in his comms about the recount, this process with have zero to do with that step of ballot processing
2. A machine recount is basically rerunning the initial machine tabulation OR verification of the logic and accuracy test, which all the counties passed weeks ago
3. The $42k deposit is just a deposit. He's going to have to pay the entire amount, which will be way more

Washington counties are dropping their precinct level data this week and this is a fascinating piece of data from the #wa3 race in #clarkcounty
Precincts in Clark County that went for Joe Kent had higher turnout, which is totally not what I expected
So Marie Gluesenkamp Perez was able to win district-wide despite turnout headwinds in her core county
