@choeshow Is that Mimi from the Drew Carey Show? Dang, she is looking good for her age, good on you Mimi!

@BrandiKruse @ThornsFC @xx_xyathletics Legal? Probably. Right? No. Peaceful fans in a T-shirt get walked out while the crowd yelling at them stays put. If a stadium only protects fans with the "correct" opinions, it isn't really welcoming everyone.

@choeshow Longtime chef here. Restaurant margins are thin on a good day. Put a drug crisis on the doorstep and an owner thinking about retiring gets there a lot faster. Every small spot that closes takes jobs and a neighborhood anchor with it.

@thehoffather Another 135 Starbucks jobs in Seattle and Sea-Tac starting Dec 31, per the WARN notice. Those are real workers and families. When the biggest names keep cutting here, Olympia should look at what it costs to do business in WA before adding another tax.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@BrandiKruse If a tax is only for millionaires, why does every family have to file? Washington voters deserve straight answers before the paperwork shows up, not after. YES on I-645.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@BrandiKruse Every policy should start with a real problem, backed by real evidence. This one starts with a fear and answers it with soldiers. Washington deserves leaders with a steady compass, not reactions.

@thehoffather A Jewish school serving Jewish families isn't discrimination. It's a community with a mission. Meanwhile girls are losing fair races under his own policies. Parents should get to choose what's best for their kids. Another reason for change in 2028. What a clown show.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

A Battle Ground sophomore gave up her season to stand up for fairness in girls' sports. Kids who struggle with identity deserve kindness and support. Girls deserve a fair race. Both can be true. YES on I-638.

If a CEO's results slid on his watch, the board wouldn't hear 'outside factors.' WA 8th-grade reading fell from 266 in 2019 to 259 in 2024. The contract is up in 2028.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@jasonrantz Whatever side you're on, scaring restaurant workers over a ballot talk is wrong. Win people over with arguments, not threats. Nobody in Olympia should be afraid to go to work over a voter forum.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@choeshow Every income tax gets sold as 'only the wealthy.' Then the threshold drifts down and the rate drifts up. If you want to stop that before it starts, the answer is simple. YES on I-645.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@jasonrantz Good advice no matter how you vote. Use an official drop box, then check https://t.co/kdONXHLY7Q to confirm your ballot was accepted. If anything looks off, call your county elections office. Confidence comes from transparency.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@thehoffather If WIAA can't confirm the practice requirement was even checked, the rules aren't being enforced. Girls train all season for those spots. Clear, consistent rules protect every kid, including the ones still figuring things out. YES on I-638.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@BrandiKruse Most voters I know want two things: their ballot counted and nobody hovering at the drop box. Uniformed troops at county auditors' offices won't calm anyone down, on either side. Keep Election Day boring, local, and civilian.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@BrandiKruse This man is unwell. This party is unwell. Somebody, please, check that they have the faculties necessary to administer their duties. I try to put myself in their shoes, but I just can't grasp their thinking.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@jasonrantz I ran restaurants for years. No crew should have to fear for their safety over who booked the room. Disagree with Heywood all you want, then show up and argue. Threats aren't speech.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

A 15-year-old allegedly fired a ghost gun into the Bite of Seattle crowd. Three people died that day. He gets his day in court.

But he's now home on an ankle monitor, and prosecutors flagged that his brother may have tampered with one in August. Public safety comes first.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@BrandiKruse @letsgowa I'm one of those parents who just wants to know what's going on with my own kids at school and keep girls' sports fair. That's not radical, it's common sense. YES on I-001 and I-638.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

@thehoffather Credit where it's due, 70 of 80 came inside. But no reduction target and no count until 2028 means no way to check. Set a number.

[Ryan Burnett @RyanBurnettSolo]

Seattle's mayor is taking a Pioneer Square pilot citywide. It moved 70 of 80 people off the street into shelter or housing. That's a real result.

But there's no target for cutting street homelessness, and the next count isn't until 2028. Put a number on it so we can check.
