Rick Griffin. The guy spent years as the M’s trainer patching ‘em up, making them game-ready. He was was the straw that stirred that drink.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

We’re proud to celebrate the rich heritage and achievements of Hispanic and Latino Washingtonians.

Now is not the time to retreat from our core values in Washington of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now more than ever, we must lean into them.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

An elected official called for my execution. This threat is a clear attempt to shut down nonviolent resistance against this administration.

I will not be silenced, and our nonviolent people-powered movement will continue to grow.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Project 2025 was always Donald Trump’s plan — and every day we are seeing him inch us closer to the authoritarianism outlined in it.

We must continue to fight back.

The Trump administration is canceling more than $1.1 billion in grants for energy projects across Washington state, including the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub. That hub will create a clean hydrogen economy across our region.
