[COVID zine page 1]

There are a lot of vested interests[1] in ignoring a simple truth:

[bold, handwritten] COVID is an AIRBORNE disease which is STILL a danger to EVERYONE. But there's so much we can do to prevent it!

If COVID spread by droplets and surfaces, then it could be prevented by handwashing—conveniently, an individual responsibility.

However, study since 2020 has made it clear:

[Bold, handwritten] Many diseases are airborne![2] 
Including:
MERS
Measles
COVID 
Chickenpox[3]
SARS-1 
Common Cold 
Flu
RSV
Tuberculosis
THIS IS A HUGE PARADIGM SHIFT.

Airborne transmission means that building owners need to provide clean indoor air, just like clean water.[4] They can't “wash their hands” of COVID.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Funny that you heard a bunch of conspiracy theories about 5G being dangerous but it rolled out with seemingly no dangers whereas those same cranks have nothing to say about AI

The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes, And Other Notes Reading by Tim Foley:

The US Soldiers Killed In This War Were Not Heroes

They did not die defending their country. They did not die fighting to protect Americans.They died advancing the geostrategic agendas of oligarchs and empire managers which benefit ordinary Americans in no way.

Why does this bill seem to get rid of sales tax when someone sells software services or customization of software?!

Also why is a big chunk of the revenue that is allocated to local governments restricted to paying for cops?!

Trump is ravaging the economy but Americans were already suffering under establishment Dems.

What alternative does DelBene offer? A means tested tax credit?

We need a new economy. One that doesn't cater to billionaires. One where every person can live a life of dignity.

Would love it if there was something that helped people who don't have enough earned income to file taxes, ya know like people on SSDI and SSI. But I'll take any step in the right direction.

I hear you, it's just so so clear the FBI is compromised and highly biased. Sad that the Swiss courts believed them.

Sleep and circadian health matter. Many researchers warn permanent daylight time misaligns our biological clocks, which can lead to chronic health issues, especially in places on the western edge of time zones like Vancouver

Tax the rich and build housing with the money. We have all the solutions and resources. You and the legislature are the ones stopping it.

This is a fraction of what's needed.

Immigrants don’t commit election fraud, Republicans do

People living in poverty aren’t a drain on society, corporations are

Voters don’t fail the nation, Congress does

Prisoners don’t commit the most crimes, billionaires do

"Official King County Executive Order signed by Girmay Zahilay on February 12, 2026, mandating transparency and public oversight of immigrant deportation flights at Boeing Field (KCIA)."

"Official King County Executive Order signed by Girmay Zahilay on February 12, 2026, mandating transparency and public oversight of immigrant deportation flights at Boeing Field (KCIA)."

Last month, King County, WA passed a measure to improve visibility for ICE flight spotters — including increased observer access space, as well as publicly accessible security cameras.

This helps the public audit and monitor ICE detention flights.

Washington defends gender-affirming care against unconstitutional attacks.

Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in the state of Washington.

Last year, our team secured a preliminary injunction blocking two executive orders that threaten to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care.
