Some good news this afternoon

A lot of journalists I've spoken to privately are minimizing vigilante right-wing violence (like the attempted assassination of Pelosi). The extent to which a lot of people in elite Democratic circles and liberal/centrist media are underestimating the rise of fascism is alarming.

It’s never a bad time to revisit John Carpenter’s 1988 classic They Live, a hilarious sci-fi thriller that skewers the inequality of the neoliberal era and offers an iconic depiction of capitalist ideology.

There are some great campaigns doing excellent work with their e-mail programs. One is Darya Farivar here in Seattle’s 46th LD, which I received this morning. More like this!

A good interview here. Vote for Steve Hobbs.

Growing up my family had to rely on food stamps for some time—so I know how stressful it is when the budget gets tight.

There is simply no way the Pelosi assassination attempt could become a GOP attack without inexcusable complacency from Democrats.

Dems, you are the ruling party. You have power to exercise control over the narrative, just like the right is doing. You just refuse to use it.

I just learned America has a thing called Trunk or Treat where people dress up, drive to a parking lot, and pretend it's ok we don't have walkable communities anymore.

I have a bill to make Roe the law of the land so women in every state are free to make their own reproductive health care decisions, without interference from politicians. No matter where you live, you should have the constitutional right to choose an abortion. #WASen

Seattle. A total sustainability flex, this.

Love this email from Indivisible Guide's Leah Ghostberg about 'the avalanche of fundraising emails' people are receiving:

✅ Calls out the problem
✅ Explains why it's a problem
✅ Outlines what orgs/campaigns can do differently
✅ Suggests steps donors can take to fight back

Some good news this morning

RT to remind everyone that Tiffany Smiley said she would have voted against the biggest climate action bill in American history. #WASen
