Mercer Island is Duwamish Land.

Vancouver WA - Clark County

Good to see bipartisan success...even if small!

It was fun watching the hearing with y'all!

Seattle, Duwamish and Coastal Salish

Linda Bock, Stillaguamish, Duwamish, Coast Salish

I guess the feeling is mutual - because they can't wait to hear all about her exploits.

For SURE should be treated as an hostile witness. I wouldn’t know why to expect anything else.

Unreal. Holy cow everyone. Buckle up this year!

Republicans of Spokane county along with the opponent of Vicky Dalton, McCaslin, are pushing for an audit here.

"Team Normal"

If they succeed can we build a wall?

We’re at a point of no return. As Cindy said, every time they lose, it’s rigged.

This one really scares me -- hard to believe that they ruled this way!

I wonder how many Supreme Court Justices went to private schools?

This Supreme Court is the most activist court ever, something which Republicans used to rail against. Now that they agree with the decisions, activism is a good thing.

@Jeremy all. All of them.

Or how many SCOTUS judges went to private religious schools…

I wonder if the state gives private schools money that they can hold them accountable to use certified teachers?

Or not discriminate in hiring.

The upside potential of their Roe v. Wade decision could be that Democrats will romp in November.

🙏

They already do!!! Jesus.

I looked this up because I was curious…Clarence Thomas - CatholicStephen Breyer - JewishSamuel Alito - CatholicSonia Sotomayor - CatholicElena Kagan - JewishNeil Gorsuch - CatholicBrett Kavanaugh - CatholicAmy Coney Barrett - Catholic

not a very religiously diverse court

"God forbid" the evangelical right find out that information... ;-)

Wow, and to think some Catholics talk like they're some kind of oppressed minority in this country.

oops, I forgot John Roberts - he's also Catholic

crazy right?!? I don't think it was an accident.....

What is Clarence Thomas's religion?

Catholic

@DScott It’s a short line. Evangelicals are behind the Federalist Society. Which, as you know, recommended the last five Judges.

Jeremy, except Ketanji Brown Jackson.

What happened to the proposal to switch KC to Ranked Choice Voting?

@Robert: surely he means the last 5 who are still on the current court... new term starts in September.

Yep, yep!

How do you win against a right wing incumbent (CMR)- go middle or go left. We need help!

what was the name of Michael's org?

It's this coming up Monday from 5:30PM-7PM. We’ll be showing the Healthcare Movie. This movie talks about the history of US and Canadian Healthcare and how they diverged back in the 50’s.

😲

Top two in Washington has problems when we don’t use Ranked Choice Voting to select the top two — also should be top four or five.

😲😲😲

America, Always a dollar short and a day late!

What went wrong in 2016??

Lol

OMG!

2016 was a strange year.

FYI Wynona Le Doux is the fictitious character from a mystery book series

That could easily happen.

2016 was one of the first BIG experiments in the hacking of the American mind. There had never been a greater influx of misinformation before that point.

When candidates are older than dirt!

Lol Yang better not run again (and I endorsed him in the primary!)

That was actually Doug Mastriano, but hopefully he becomes merely a footnote for the history books... or is sentenced to the time he deserves in a federal hoosegow.

Ugh that guy

Winona LaDuke is (also a real person) an American economist, environmentalist, writer and industrial hemp grower, known for her work on tribal land claims and preservation, as well as sustainable development. And she was involved in protests against the Enbridge Oil Pipeline No. 3 in northern MN

My bad

This is highly interesting. I have to leave, sadly. I will look forward to your updates, Cindy.

Excellent presnetaton!

yes, really, really excellent!!!!

Don't think we would have known that the "wrong" presentation was up! Still great!

I don't believe any party will agree to anything that will be to their advantage. Just sayin.

Correction: I don't believe any party will agree to anything that will NOT be to their advantage.

Legal certainty is not helpful with people who feel no obligation to follow the law, particularly if those people are powerful.

Laws? Laws are for chumps. (DJT, in his mind even if never actually voiced)

Exactly. Exactly. He’s never been held accountable to anything, so it’s little wonder.

DOJ needs some courage like the people at the hearing yesterday!

TERRIFFIED!

Maybe we will have outside players enter into the confusion.

Business is too busy greasing both palms and hoping for the best either way 🤷🏾‍♀️🤪

It was mentioned that 3 Constitutional Amendments have issues, and then later the correction action (clarity/specificity) is provided by legislation, will that create the necessary guardrails that will withstand ape=al to the current partisan Supreme(ly corrupt) Court?

What about the military intervening?

How can we message this risk, so that it resonates with ordinary voters, and they pressure their lawmakers to take action....NOW?

Is direct popular vote completely out of the picture?

HI Folks - To save time, I just spinned the wheel for the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream coupons for a free pint. Here's the winners: Kate ButtAruna BhutaBarb WilliamsShirly VicallaAlison Feher

Fraud! Reject the Ben and Jerry ice cream winners! Alternate slate!

I hear what you are saying Ned, and actually capitalizing on right wing electoral suspicion makes sense to encourage bipartisan support, at the same time isn't so much of their understanding based on false narratives, suspicion of vote-by-mail, "Enhanced ID" etc that still hard to get them process and get on board real threats

?

We need to message to "Team Normal."

@David - LOL!!

@David 😂 Good one!

FYI WAState Democrats are holding their Annual Meeting in Tacoma this weekend,

I have to run to another meeting. Thanks for all this info!

Joe Liberman (D) threw a monkey wrench into the 2000 election!

My two final thoughts: even if we can get average R voter on board true reform, right wing strategists will torpedo, 2) how can we get this to Biden/Harris???

Thank you! This was outstanding!

Power out earlies. Late.

thank you!
