Washington state lawmakers have introduced a bill to cap rent increases at 7 percent statewide and require a six month notice for hikes of 3 percent or more.
Rents across the state have increased by more than 70 percent since 2014.
The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted.
Know the truth.
We owe a great debt to the firefighting crews now battling the blazes. Those crews, not incidentally, include over 900 inmates from California prisons. Some thoughts 👇

Have you ever wondered why an #evergreentree has a kind of #pyramid shape? The pyramid shape helps the tree thrive in windy, snowy conditions. It also helps the tree's lower branches receive more light. 🌲

House Republicans wrote to Trump this week urging him to end the IRS's new free tax filing program.
They've also been trying to strip the IRS of its funding.
The GOP wants to make it harder for you to do your taxes.
And they want to make it easier for the rich to dodge theirs.
American, Delta, United, Frontier and Spirit collected more than $3 billion in seat fees in 2023.
Americans are tired of being nickled and dimed.
It's time to ban these wicked junk fees.
Everyone deserves the chance to fly — without being ripped off.
@Cal_varius Just discovered your art today and it is beautiful ❤️❤️ I'm so sorry about your sweet kitten, I had a similar thing happen with a puppy very sick with parvo... I still think of that poor baby at least once a month. It doesn't feel like it, but you did everything in your power 💔
ARTISTS, Twitter (X) IS going to use all our data to train their AI. Either GLAZE all of your work or stop posting here. I know we all love to post high res art here, but those days are over. You will be exploited, and your work WILL be used against you.

Dear Ma and Pa MAGA,
So, your rapist, business fraud, traitor felon-elect has appointed a guy accused of groping his babysitter to HHS, a guy accused of rape to DOD, a chick he bribed to DOJ, a fake wrestling boss maybe sex trafficker to DOE, a Russian spy to DNI, a habitual liar to CIA & boot-licker to the FBI.
Does that sound like someone who’s focused on lowering the price of eggs?
MAGA and the Republican party talked so much about Hunter Bidens drug problems. Why not talk about Elon Musk and his drug addiction? Or RFK and his drug addiction? Or Donald Trump and his drug addiction? Or Trump jr and his drug addiction?
