Seattle Resists

An Indivisible group of Seattleites in WA 7 & 9 dedicated to resisting Trump. Focused on local political outcomes & centering people of color.

Such an absurd question. Good luck finding a Republican to work with - they settled this one among themselves years ago.

[Cathleen Decker @cathleendecker]

Democrats are divided: Work with Republicans — or wage war against them?

The avalanche of white supremacist hate that @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib face on a daily basis is absolutely horrifying. And the silence of so many folks in Washington in the face of this is telling.

We’ll have to build a bigger army. #MedicareforAll

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The health care and insurance industries have assembled a small army of lobbyists to kill “Medicare for all" in the U.S. https://t.co/MRmkPduFtr

The idea that Amazon cares about “building relationships” is laughable. What a bad faith statement from top to bottom.

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

Well done, New York.

AMAZON CANCELS PLAN TO COME TO NEW YORK

"After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens" - Amazon spokeswoman Jodi Seth

Bezos is extorting all of US every single minute, so let’s chill out with this “profile in moral courage” stuff.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

I never expected to see Jeff Bezos emerge as a hero of democracy. But he has. A profile in moral courage https://t.co/PR5Rf23pKl

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

No more unjust evictions. Let your #waleg reps know you support this common sense reform. @TenantsUnionWA

Northam refused to grasp that blackface is dehumanization. Wearing us like costumes makes it easier to render us homeless. Easier to take away our ballots. Easier to silence our voices in the public square. To miseducate us. To let us die in hospitals. To kill us with impunity.

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

We don’t agree on much, but it is nice to see all of Seattle united in our fathomless loathing of Howard Schultz.

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

@UprootedTexan99 Every like is a cop

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

This is the correct ratio.

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

So CALL. Tomorrow @IndivisibleTeam is calling for a NATIONAL Call-In Day. Every Senator needs to hear from their constituents the same message: No wall. Reopen the government.

And what's that you say? You'd like more analysis? WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED: https://t.co/39AiAmnywo

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

Talked to Sen Murray’s office and they are getting “significantly more” calls IN FAVOR of the wall than those against. Sen Cantwell’s office reports a mix. Don’t take this for granted. Call your senators (even blue state Dems) and let them know: open govt now, NO WALL.

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

Call @PattyMurray and @SenatorCantwell and ask them to make ending the shutdown a top priority. No other Senate bills until government reopens.

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

A president willing to shut down the government for years can only be described as a hostage taker.

[Meet the Press @MeetThePress]

.@SenSchumer after his meeting with President Trump on the shutdown:

"We told the president we needed the government open. He resisted. In fact, he said he'd keep the government closed for a very long period of time, months or even years."

[Cascade PBS Newsroom @CascadePBSNews]

Op Ed: "Despite all the ways our hope has been dashed against the rocks of 'politics as usual,' we must dig deep to re-engage our sense of urgency." - @NikkitaOliver & @daedaejr https://t.co/Yh3QYMFeDl

[Jemaine Clement @AJemaineClement]

@realDonaldTrump You mean you can't stop people entering the US without a wall, so to get it you are going to stop people entering the US?

[Seattle Resists @SeattleResists]

Good to see this solidarity among UK warehouse workers, but can’t help imagining that Bezos’ response will be “great point, we’ll have to move faster to replace you all with robots.”

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

This #BlackFriday Amazon workers worldwide have come together with one message for billionaire Jeff Bezos. We are not robots, treat us with dignity and respect.
