No, the British Empire did not spontaneously "end slavery". Credit for that goes to several generations of slave revolts—including the successful Haitian Revolution of 1804—and sustained pressure from radical social movements pushing for abolition.
Today I announced systemic changes that are designed to break down barriers that have kept too many Washingtonians on the sidelines for too long.

I’m in Seattle’s D3 & walk Capitol Hill almost daily. I encountered several of Sawant’s campaigners & they were mostly reminding people of the election & helping people with any questions they had. There was no coercion! Now @seattletimes wants to limit grassroots campaigning! 1/
I spoke to a neighbor in my building who had not yet voted. He checked his mail and discovered at 6pm on election night he never got it!
Neither of us has a working printer :(
We walked outside to a printer tent less than 1 BLOCK away(srsly, fing amazeballs!) printed & voted
I’m not sure how to process the Rittenhouse full acquittal other than thinking random proud boys now have the full green light to show up and shoot people at blm protests and just say they felt “threatened”
Amazing turnout today to get out the vote for Nikkita in Wallingford! 🗳

When I voted for Biden it was not because I wanted to, it was because I was made to believe that I had to. If I didn’t, we wouldn’t get paid leave, or student debt cancellation, and we wouldn’t end the filibuster.
I voted for Biden and yet here we stand. Promises unkept.

Methane gas is not clean energy. It's financially risky and disastrous for the climate.
@Sen_JoeManchin: West Virginians support federal investment in true clean energy like solar, wind energy efficiency, & battery storage to save us money, protect communities. #BuildBackBetter
will take a little time out of their very busy schedules to meet with us!
Young people have been routinely discouraged from participating in Seattle politics. It’s about time we change that!
We are the future; we ought to have a say in it
