@RepAdamSmith Let's be real. Israeli people know a whole lot about being uprooted from their homes and country. Violence is never the answer for conflicting interest of reasonable minds and common sense. At the same time, weakness from a non response only heightens the mind of the radical.
@PattyMurray So many species on earth humans seem to want to determine should not be distinct, as someone with common sense needs to speak for them because they cannot speak for themselves BUT a human embryo seems to be the only exception. They have no voice and had no choice at conception
@wsdot_traffic@wsdot All due respect. That's why we pay federal tax, state tax, and gas tax that Department of Transportation receives to keep traffic moving.
@truthaboutplas A large majority of Minority businesses in construction are non union. PLAs increase inequity in communities of color. They violate the protection of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts.
@BTudbubble@GovInslee How about you live in a bubble of you're own choosing and leave us idiots to chance so we can go back to earning a living and supporting our community.
@icecube These state anti affirmative laws like on CA and WA violate federal law. Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts.
States could and should be sued.
But there needs to be a movement. And money raised to do something about Prop 209.
@icecube CA Prop 209 the CA anti affirmative action law. Keeps Black's and other minorities from meaningful participation in Universities and minority biz from public contracts.
It's killing our POC communities that own biz and has been state law since 1996.

@TheLeadCNN@evanperez Possible? Lol
Mainstream media has an out lier and I wish there were more. Balanced reporting is critical to our Democracy. Go get it Tapper. MORE.
@TheLeadCNN@abbydphillip@pbump Surprised? The D party for the last 50 years say they represent the minority verses the majority but in the end its the same ol song. What has the D party done in the last 50 years that has lifted the U.S. communities of color?
Significance RE 1964 Civil Rights Act? Nothing. 0.0
@eyesonthestorm I'm sorry to hear u have a full time job. Maybe apply to a PT job. Own a business make your own schedule move to a place that gives bal you seek. But remember there r families suffering right now who can't feed their family pay rent business owners losing lifetime of hard work
@TwinaNobles Transportation is huge 1st year Senator Nobles. A huge opportunity to assist minority businesses in Washington State with their voice and concerns of MBE inclusion. WSDOT as an agency is doing well but many sub government agencies Roadways, Airports, and Ports failing.
@icecube@icecube@CWBA
Glad to see the follow through Cube. I didn't have a doubt that you would step up then dissappear on the issue.
MBAC studied CWBA & believe we have enough value to add a new section focused on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 64' specific to public contracting
