TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

I hope the legislature and business community come together to develop a solution that works for everyone. State funding of programs is vital. We simply cannot wait any longer…
“Scott’s bill would create the “Well Washington Fund” to backfill what the federal government takes away. Absent proactive measures by the Legislature, thousands of residents will face greater food insecurity, less access to health care and higher costs for education, Scott said.”

Since today is about gathering in homes, it feels right to acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples who understood how to build in relationship with the land long before us. Honoring the wisdom that came long before we arrived.
What would it look like if more homes were built with the land in mind?

We can craft a state tax code that is far more progressive and far more pro-growth, that both invests in vital public services and incentivizes companies to continue to expand in our state.
This kind of virtuous cycle is a *good* thing, and I refuse to believe that a “grand bargain” is impossible.

And we've already seen employers calling ICE on their workers AFTER the workers performed their jobs to steal the workers' rightful wages!
Not surprised at all!
And how many women right now are being threatened by their abusers with “if you leave me I’m calling ICE.”
Dream scenario for abusers.

This is so messed up! Surveillance-industrial complex has to stop!
In October, statewide news reported that a sheriff's deputy in Texas searched thousands of Flock cameras in Washington for 'Had an abortion, search for female.’ New documents obtained by RANGE show Spokane County Sheriff's Office cameras were accessed in that search:

I got news everyone: Surveillance of Americans has been happening for decades.
'Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries, the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects.'
This shit is all kinds of unconstitutional.
