@WApolwatch Powerful response. Hold accountable those who broke the law and to @PattyMurray - stop insulting the intelligence of Washingtonians by calling Tiffany Smiley a threat to democracy. That's the dangerous rhetoric we need to step away from.

@EWErickson I'm not voting for anyone over 70. Preferably not over 62.

@stevemgordon67 @jontalton @seattletimes The reference to well-funded public schools made me 🙄 Our results are worse than some states spending half as much. Spending more doesn't mean we're getting more.

@weheartseattle Nobody successfully leaves homelessness and addiction without a support group; family if there are still unburnt bridges is great option, but in every case some kind of persistent fellowship is essential.

“We’re losing the momentum we had during the early months of this response,” Wiesman said. Because the goodwill required for followership has been squandered by arbitrary, inexplicable rules from an out of touch administration.

To further limit interactions, we’re changing some rules for: ➡️ Restaurants/bars ➡️ Gyms ➡️ Weddings/funerals ➡️ Family entertainment centers ➡️ Movie theaters 3/4

Trust in public health and vaccines has already eroded. Question is will @GovInslee stick with a corrosive policy requiring #covid vax for state employment, or will he follow the science?

They actually never made sense. They were always an abuse of power. Most US mandates were implemented after CDC knew vaccinated spread the virus, ergo were unethical. They displaced pilots and other essential employees. An e.g. of zealotry in policy

Here's the problem with single-party lock on power. Not even a public hearing in #waleg to discuss an initiative to the legislature signed by over 400,000 voters, because one person, one party says NO.

What is speaker Laurie Jinkins afraid of? Democracy? 1-2113 (reasonable police pursuit) received 430,000 signatures from “We the People.” Why do Democrats in Olympia loathe and dismiss the democratic process? @BrandiKruse @thehoffather @choeshow @SueLaniMadsen @washdems

@KaeleyT So there's no longer any objective, detectable definition of what male and female mean. Wonder if that would work while breeding livestock, could use a few more doelings.
