The @MLKLabor union federation just voted to kick out the Seattle Police Officers Guild!

This is the beginning of organized labor unshackling itself from an alliance with oppressors so that it can be free to stand in solidarity with all working people. #blacklivematter #spogout

@YorchTorchGames @ELDENRING The God in this game is both a man AND a woman. Your God would not want you playing this game 😂

[Whitney 🌹 @Benjaminovitz]

Best way to spend Yom Kippur, supporting Starbucks workers fighting the wrongs of their bosses. They stood together for living wages, stood against their boss's complicity in genocide in Palestine, stood as David against Goliath the past 4 years. Contract now! @SBWorkersUnited

@PramilaJayapal @ZohranKMamdani Help us elect a mayor like that who will prioritize affordability right here in Seattle! Rescind your endorsement of Bruce Harrell and endorse Katie Wilson!

Stop calling all Democrats socialists. It’s offensive. To socialists.

@supersat @hannahkrieg Undergrads just unionized with UAW at Western Washington University. Go check em out!

@RepAdamSmith We know what happened. You used our taxes to buy weapons for the genocidal IDF. Ezgi went there to oppose the genocide. Then she was killed by the IDF with the weapons you bought for them. Case closed.

Her blood is on your hands. Cease funding this genocide now.

[Noisy Union @NoisyUnion]

Noisy Creek bought us, promised more resources, but refused an interim agreement to raise unit wages. Now they want to hire a new reporter for more than they pay current staff. If the company can't afford to pay workers a wage we can thrive on, we can't afford new reporters.

NEW: Seattle-based advocate Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi's partner released a statement shaming President Joe Biden for not calling Eygi's family several days after Israeli forces killed her.

I don't know who's winning the debate, but I do know we're losing #debate2024

- both support genocide
- both want fracking
- both want to build a wall
- both want WWIII with China

[Whitney 🌹 @Benjaminovitz]

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of the best things that the Biden-Harris admin did. The Taliban took over because the US army went INTO Afghanistan, not because they pulled out.

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

Seattle honors local advocate Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, demands an independent investigation into her killing, and vows to realize her vision of a free Palestine. https://t.co/yPef4f0Hwv

You can't be "working around the clock for a ceasefire" while you are actively funding the fire you say you want to cease. #Debate2024

[Whitney 🌹 @Benjaminovitz]

@Frawlz I watched someone get shot and the shooter dove into the line of cops. Turns out was the brother of a cop. The violence wasn't from CHOP. CHOP was about STOPPING violence. Schools over the US have mass shootings. Is the problem that we have schools? Not the source of the violence

[Whitney 🌹 @Benjaminovitz]

Trump evokes CHOP in Seattle, asking "when are they going to be prosecuted!?" CHOP was so well maintained, when it rained there was a person sweeping the rain into the gutter. One of my biggest regrets is not taking a picture of that. Prosecute what? #Debate2024

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

NEW: Cherry Street Coffee House owner complained to City Council that paying minimum wage may force him to close stores. Outraged, the workers shut down one of his stores anyway. Business may have power in City Hall, but workers still run the workplace.

You can't be in favor of cease-fire, but oppose cease-funding the very same fire.

[SnoCo DSA🌹 @SnoCoDSA]

Ahead of this week's Democratic National Convention, the people of Washington say NOT ANOTHER BOMB.

Kamala Harris, it's time for a permanent ceasefire and an arms embargo on Israel! Stop the Gaza genocide! ���🇸🌹

[Councilmember Tammy J. Morales @CMTammyMorales]

This is one of the most undemocratic moments I’ve seen in Seattle.

25K voters across the city signed a petition to send I-137 to the ballot this November. Today was the deadline. Instead, Council cut public comment short and voted 7-1 to remove I-137 on our agenda.
