Bro, you didn't see the Slack? Did you read my email? I sent it to you on Signal. Did it disappear? I texted you. Wait, I meant WhatsApp. I called you. I assigned it to you on Notion. I added you to the invite. It's on the Discord, did you see it? You're not in that channel?

Washington State Leads on Elevator Reform Washington State Leads on Elevator Reform

so happy for my emotional support astronauts

I wonder if Carroll knows we all think about her, and her brave, beautiful family. I hope she does.

Really proud of this work led by Councillors Nakagawa and Henderson. #NewWest continues to lead in protecting renters, in this case we may be saving lives when the next Heat Dome arrives.

Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is taking Indigenous culture past the Moon: his mission patch was designed by Henry Guimond, an Anishinaabe artist, incorporating one Indigenous perspective about the seven sacred laws, which are represented by animals.

A politician with the guts to say it:
"No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War."

YIMBYism has won the battle for the heart of the Democratic Party.

there are still some holdouts (looking at you, Karen Bass), but Democrats are finally becoming the party of building more housing, transit, and clean energy
