    A measure to end Tesla's ability to sell to consumers was introduced in Washington state Legislature

    Senate Bill 5377, sponsored by Sens. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle) and Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles), strengthens consumer protections and promotes fair practices among manufacturers, distributors, and local auto dealers. It closes a decades-old loophole that limited consumer choice and created an uneven playing field for manufacturers of clean-fueled vehicles in Washington state.

    Unfortunately, legislators didn't have the spine or public backing to get it out of committee, so it died early.

  5. 1/4 Washington State has a Tesla monopoly problem through an exemption to state law from 2014: solving it by passing legislation that allows competition would pretty much drive them out of the state, but also level the playing field for other EV manufacturers.

  10. Kings and despots historically used spending and taxes (tariffs) to control their subjects, to reward loyalty and punish dissent.

    Tariffs are a means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition would-be-king Trump for relief.

    He is using access to government funds to bully universities, law firms and state and local governments into loyalty pledges.

    Relief will come to industry and institutions that pledge loyalty (fealty).

    Trumps strategy. is from the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

  15. WA may be getting new highways — for bicyclists

    While Washington State has been struggling to fund most of its major transportation projects, the chair of the state Senate Transportation Committee says financing a statewide bikeway system is cheap enough to pull off. The project would connect our existing major bike paths across the state—the Burke-Gilman, Palouse to Cascades, Eastrail, and Spokane’s Centennial—for less than $50 million over two years. It’s orders of magnitude cheaper than car infrastructure AND better for our environment.

  20. @samlitzinger Complaining about NYT distracts from the way more important news they may have missed.

    JD Vance tells US troops in Greenland, stationed in that part of the Kingdom of Denmark under an agreement with Denmark, that the US has to gain control of Greenland.

    About as aggressive as it gets.

    He was initially held in a secret ICE facility in Ferndale, WA, then transferred to ICE facility in #tacoma WA.

  22. Actively repeating history. And Fox News was applauding this.

    There is absolutely no reason to trust US statements in any way, not even head counts. If anything the working assumption should be that, unless and until otherwise identified, they are all US citizens guilty of no crime. This situation is reprehensible regardless of their actual nationalities, and compounded by the regimes actions in court we shouldn't at all dismiss the possibility that the US has gleefully deported it's own citizens, and sold them into slavery

    Regarding Elmo's threats, from: masto.ai/@stavvers/11418340512
    "Something that I think those in power have forgotten is that things like the right to protest, strike provisions, human rights legislation, etc are the *compromise*.

    By stripping those away, it's just as illegal to march from A to B as it is to drag them into the street and beat the shit out of them, and that's usually a damn sight more effective."
