Hey #WashingtonState and especially those in #WhatcomCounty: Call the legislative hotline today at 800-562-6000 in support of SB 6346, the Millionaires Tax. It has passed the Senate, but now needs a vote in the state House and Representative Alicia Rule of the 42nd district needs to hear we support it. Call today!

SB 6002, the Driver Privacy Act regulating Flock and other ALPRs, passed the Senate yesterday -- the vote was 40-9. Here's some media coverage

We'e going to need to do a lot of work to strengthen it in the House. We've probably got a bit of time before things kick off there, and we need to put it to good use. Stay tuned!

If you're a voter in WA, please take a minute to sign in PRO on HB 2641 to make it so NO ONE who works for ICE can ever work in WA law enforcement.

Doesn't fix law enforcement *cough*ACAB*cough* but at least keeps some of the "worst of the worst" out of our state.

People forget that Gov Inslee appointed Hobbs to Secretary of State to get him out of the way in the #WALeg because he was such an obstructionist. Now, no surprise, he's being an obstructionist in the SoS office.

Hey #WAState folks- there's a bill in the state senate this session that proposes switching to permanent standard time, and stops the silly clock switches for DST. Please use this link to check out the bill, and use the comment option to ask your state senator to support it/become a co-sponsor, and ask your house reps to support introducing a companion bill!

#WAStateLeg #WALeg #WAElex #WAPoli #Seattle

Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and more have bills to #DitchDST with permanent Standard Time. Tell your state legislators to support! #WALeg #ORLeg #CALeg #IDLeg https://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/state-politics/daylight-saving-time-permanent-pacific-standard-time-washington-state/281-41a6e139-22aa-42ff-bed2-05300400414b

Sundial-makers across the state feeling hopeful.

@alan Do you know why that is? That this bill doesn't need federal approval but the DST one did?

It sounds like an excellent talking point and I am gonna be hella pestering some reps.

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

Hi! Here's my #Introduction. Can be found #walking (happily flaneuring), or transporting myself on my #EVbike, or taking #transit & the #train or petting #cats. Working on #nonpartisan #CampaignFinance Reform, #RCV, and #MissingMiddle housing with #LWV. In my spare time, I like to watch #WALeg on #TVW. For real.
