What an honor to sit down with @thestranger.com & share our vision for an affordable future. Thank you for this thoughtful coverage of our fight for a flourishing WA!
TL;DR - we're the future. And we're ready to stand up to corporations for the people's agenda. www.thestranger.com/news/2026/03...
This is a cartoon from 2021 that prominently features Jamie and his do-nothing brigade (also features Pollet, who is being challenged by @ronpdavis.bsky.social!) Been on this for awhile and it's finally happening. Now's the time
Cheeky ending!
It’s OUR time. Today I’m announcing my run for state senate in WA’s 43rd district because we know we can win a Washington we can all afford - but politics as usual won’t get us there. People-power & leadership as visionary as our district will. Learn more and join us at hannahforwashington.com.
But your anchor is the median household income is around 83,000.
If you are both this number, you are 'doing well' and should think about ways to give back.
And your taxes should probably go up.
I know it doesn't feel that way, but there it is.

If Jared Polis caves to extortion and pardons an unrepentant insurrectionists, he should be impeached and removed. But everyone involved would probably be better off in Colorado Dems brandished the threat, and Polis backed down. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...
people have got to realize that we are not getting Medicare for All without taxing the middle class. we are not getting free child care without taxing the middle class. we are not getting better schools and free college without taxing the middle class.
I make $95,000 a year. raise my taxes, please.
Wow mark another point up for team Bullying Works I guess!
Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

Heck! I’d even let some random company put digital kiosks on the side of em!
Fr though. Thrones are great. I hope this goes well during World Cup and we can deploy these at scale, at least until more permanent infrastructure is available.
This is good shit. 💩

SDOT wants to install two portable restrooms on the street in Pioneer Square as part of a one year pilot...if they can get this idea past the Pioneer Square preservation district board.

"Hoppers" features zanier cartoon comedy and less tear-inducing pathos than audiences may expect from the studio behind "Up." During production, the filmmakers toned down its pro-environmentalism story in an effort to make it more balanced. "It felt like a message movie," Morris said.
"If we're going to just crank crap out, let's shut the doors," he said. "I'd rather die trying to make something that we genuinely believe in."
Pixar toned down the pro-environmentalism story in Hoppers because "it felt like a message movie," but also don't want to "crank crap out" and make movies "we genuinely believe in."
...what?

Yeah the Home Zone program is the closest we have to a neighborhood traffic management program. Making sure it works well everywhere it’s being implemented is probably the best way forward on this issue.

Ok I think I might start using these for everything?
The drivers using the crosswalk thing is 100% a problem where they did this on Rainier. It’s better than nothing though, imo.
My hope is that we are at the beginning of a multi-year effort to totally transform our state’s tax code.
There will be those who say we need to wait to see how the income tax works out before we can make other changes. Even if it performs as advertised we’re still facing huge cuts in the near and long term.

Imagine you were trapped in a pool and the water came up to your shoulders. Every day, the water rises 1-7in/day.
There is a hose that can siphon up to 10in/day. WA legislature is here to help! Their plan? Use the siphon for 1 inch of water per day. And here’s some dry spaghetti you can use, too.
State and local governments in Washington have a permanent structural deficit baked into their budgets. New taxes, no matter how progressive, aren’t gonna fix that.
I am glad #waleg seems likely to pass the high earners income tax. That said, pretty much all tax legislation in Washington is kicking the can down the road unless we repeal the 1% property tax revenue growth cap. Until that happens, we’ll always be 5-10years away from the next fiscal crisis.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
