Women should be making their own decisions about their pregnancies and when to start a family—not politicians or judges. RT if you agree.
Paraeducators are crucial to public education. They help students overcome barriers to education — whether from learning gaps, pandemic learning loss, or special needs. @GovInslee has signed #SB5882 to fund paraeducators with $72 million to help students succeed and excel.
Now all we need is for @GovInslee to sign #HB1455, championed by @RepStonier and Sen. @derekstanford -- and #Washington will become the 11th state where we have helped to eliminate a #HumanRights abuse that destroys girls' lives. #18NoExceptions
The Chairmen of the Suquamish Tribe, Leonard Forsman, and the Squaxin Island Tribe, Kris Peters, write in the Seattle Times that the State of Washington has an obligation to tribes and all citizens to fix salmon-blocking culverts. seattletimes.com/opinion/wa-has…
With his first bill in the Senate in 2014, former Sen. John McCoy (D-Tulalip) established Native American Heritage Day in WA — celebrated the fourth Friday of November. When Sen. McCoy passed on earlier this year, it was clear his legacy will live on for years to come. #WALeg

i like teaching lefty theory as much as the next guy but I can rarely do better at explaining the connection between capital and social-political domination than just pointing at what the guys with the capital do and say

“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country...and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level. I mean the wages of decent living.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
Let's give a shout out to the people who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. Mandemosle un saludo a la gente que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay Thank you @ignaciogomezart for letting us use this art
This #LaborDay, let's celebrate unions — the driving force behind fair wages, improved workplaces, and empowered workers. We continue to stand together in solidarity, united by the belief that every worker deserves respect, dignity, and a voice in their workplace. 💪🛠️
In 2021, Washington passed a capital gains tax aimed at the rich. As of May, the state has raised nearly $850M. All of the revenue will go toward child care, early learning programs, and school construction. The rich are still doing fine. This is how it’s done, folks.
Jill and I are praying for the victims, their families, and the people of Jacksonville following yesterday’s shooting. As we continue searching for answers, we must say clearly and forcefully that white supremacy has no place in America. Here’s my full statement.
Was @LHSummers wrong? Let’s see. Unemployment is low, the labor market is strong, real wages are outperforming inflation, and millions of people didn't have to lose their jobs for it to happen. So yes, Larry Summers was very, very wrong. buff.ly/45zKMqS
They always do this. They care far less about the issues at hand than they do about breaking the workers. Solidarity however is the kryptonite that slays this beast.

Wall Street is buying single-family homes off the market before everyday folks get the chance to buy. We need to make our housing market more fair so that average families don’t have to compete with huge investors.
Everyone should have a safe, affordable roof overhead. Hedge funds using our housing market as their cash cow is fueling the affordable housing crisis. @RepAdamSmith and I introduced the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act to kick hedge funds OUT of our housing market.
We need to restore the right to abortion nationwide. RT if you're with me.
"The move runs counter to a nationwide trend that has seen legislators, almost exclusively Republicans, push bills making it easier to ban or censor books, cut library funding or remove legal protections from libraries..." #SB5824 #WALeg #libraries📚📘seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
Across the country, I've seen firsthand how projects funded by the infrastructure package are helping communities realize long-held dreams and well-planned visions for better infrastructure. We're proud to support Quintin, Risa, and the rest of the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe.

Paraeducators are crucial to public education. They help students overcome barriers to education — whether from learning gaps, pandemic learning loss, or special needs. @GovInslee has signed #SB5882 to fund paraeducators with $72 million to help students succeed and excel.
May 9, 2018, DE was the 1st state in the nation to #endchildmarriage. Since then, 10 other states have joined us, so proud that #Delaware lead the way. Thank you to the state of #Washington and to @GovInslee for signing this bill and to @UnchainedAtLast. koin.com/news/washingto…

Join us today as we honor the remarkable life and legacy of Billy Frank Jr. He was a member of the Nisqually tribe and at a young age stood against government injustices. Billy faced repeated arrests, intimidation, and bigotry while fighting for his people.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We're grateful that we have a lot to celebrate this #WomensDay: ✨#WA just became the 11th state to #EndChildMarriage, a #HumanRights abuse that destroys girls' & women's lives! ✨#VA might be next! ✨#NH, #MO, #CA & more are right behind them!
@GovInslee just signed legislation championed by @RepStonier and Sen. @derekstanford -- and by us and the #Washington Coalition to #EndChildMarriage that we convene -- to make the marriage age in Washington #18NoExceptions. /2
Excuse us for victory dancing over here like no one is watching -- because we just achieved another historic legislative victory. #Washington is now the 11th U.S. state where our relentless advocacy has helped to #EndChildMarriage! /1
The new law renders any marriage involving a person under 18 void, regardless of parental or judicial consent. kiro7.com/news/local/sta…
Washington will soon join 10 states that have laws preventing children under 18 from getting married. The bill failed last legislative session. st.news/4bKNDAV
Republicans in #WALeg & across the country have escalated attacks on the LGBTQ+ community. Here in WA, those discriminatory bills went nowhere because Democrats stand with the majority in WA who will fight for the health, safety, & dignity of all people. thestranger.com/olympia/2024/0…
Now all we need is for @GovInslee to sign #HB1455, championed by @RepStonier and Sen. @derekstanford -- and #Washington will become the 11th state where we have helped to eliminate a #HumanRights abuse that destroys girls' lives. #18NoExceptions
