About 15 engaged community members met to discuss how to continue the fight for a universal healthcare plan that will cover all Washington state residents.
Whole Washington has run 3 different citizen initiative campaigns over the years. They continually lobby the Washington legislature. They keep trying. They never give up.
Whole Washington's got a universal healthcare bill in the WA senate this session. They are actively seeking a sponsor for a bill in the house of representatives.
There's nothing more uplifting than surrounding yourself with people who believe that positive change can be achieved, especially given the long, hard slog we face with the incoming administration.

Former CIA analyst explains what makes up the "deep state" in US (media, defence corporations, think tanks)
Jobs that once were classified as civil service started to be contracted to external consulting firms. "A critical node of the Deep State is the owners of those companies getting rich off of government contracts, who invariably hire lobbyists and build relations with the contract managers inside the government agency giving them money."

" As we reported earlier, Amazon workers at seven locations around the country organized a strike timed for the holidays to try to force Amazon to the bargaining table. These are workers who have already voted and decided to form a union, yet #Amazon is simply refusing to recognize them or meet with them. Public pressure and striking is the only route left for those workers.
The #union has organized a petition calling on Amazon to recognize the union and enter into contract negotiations."

More than 600 constituents of Jared Huffman and Mike Thompson have signed on as plaintiffs in a class action suit, accusing them of aiding Israel's genocide "in violation of international and federal law".
Like many Democrats, Huffman and Thompson pride themselves in standing up against the contempt for facts that Donald #Trump and cohorts flaunt. Yet refusal to acknowledge the facts of civilian decimation in Gaza is an extreme form of denial.
Whatever the outcome, this lawsuit conveys the widespread anger and anguish about the ongoing carnage, bankrolled by the #US taxpayer.
Its time Congress feels the heat!

In July 2022, in one of his first tweets complaining about the site beyond where it mentioned him, Musk and others fell for the false statement by Mike Cernovich that “Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page.”39 An article screenshot provided by Cernovich featured text that had remained unchanged since the Trump administration, but that didn’t stop a right-wing firestorm, joined by Musk, where people claimed that Wikipedia had removed the common definition of “recession” as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth.
