SB 6045, a bill to allow farmworker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on. This bill is critical for WA farmworkers like Windmill mushroom workers who've been fighting to get a contract since 2022. If you live in WA tell your state Senator to support SB 6045.
TIL: it’s easier to correctly pronounce _gʷidəq_ if you spell it in the original (local) Lushootseed language.
The Washington Department of Natural Resources makes a good point.
#Music loving friends! It is the annual #KEXP International Clash Day tomorrow! Streams globally 5 am- 7 pm PT. So fun. This art is from a fantastic exhibit of local Seattle artists doing cover style art. LOVE my print of work by Pat Moriarity, 2017. kexp.org/listen #TheClash

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will …. say that this never happened.” Not a direct Eisenhower quote. But true now. Get it all on record. Because we will take these fuckers to a new set of Nuremberg trials.

Besides letting delayed or refused health care do their murdering for them — they’re letting detainees go • without their phones • without their wallets • without coats • far away from home • far away from transit • outside transit hours • without a way to hail a ride • in Minnesota • in January
Haven Watch is an organization that is greeting people when they are released to get them the basics and safely get home. They also drive around in known areas where ICE dumps victims (like parks, woods, etc) to rescue them. They have a GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/safe-haven...
I work with public health data, to understand the current disease rates better. Yep. This is intentional.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.
Watching the adults of Minneapolis step up and take beatings/bullets for kids that look like them did. They are still scared, but they believe us when we tell them they will be protected bc they are seeing it in real time on their socials. Minneapolis is not just protecting their own. Thank you
I am responsible for 270 ELL middle schoolers that started this year scared about what was going to happen. We talked about it a lot and reassured them that the adults in their lives would move heaven and earth to protect them. Those talks didn't help.
If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head
Renee Nicole Good was murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.
