Since November 2024, between 8,000-15,000 trans folks have fled to WA and are supported almost entirely by local community organizations, with no support from Cities, the county, or the state. 5/

In just a seven-month window, from November 2024 to June 2025, over 400,000 Trans Americans fled from hostile states (particularly the Deep South), in search of safety in one of the other 15 "trans friendly" states, including ours. Some have even fled the country entirely. 3/

In addition to the hundreds of anti-trans bills currently in effect across the country, there were 809 anti trans bills introduced in 2025 alone. These bills are designed to strip more rights and protections from trans folks, while criminalizing their existence. translegislation.com 2/

A few days ago, Gender Justice League released a report called "Expelled From Home" that tracks the general movement of trans folks fleeing persecution from their home states. 🧵 genderjusticeleague.org/advocacy/exp... s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cdn.genderju... 1/

➡️The Finn Hill and Kingsgate neighborhoods have been identified via community feedback as areas that need additional transit access. ➡️28% of Kirkland residents live in an area where additional transit services are needed, and 14% live in an area with no transit access. 2/

Glad to be here at a time when our local transit is beginning its post-pandemic expansion. www.kirklandwa.gov/Government/D...

Recently, for the first time, I was summoned to serve on a jury for a criminal case. I was the only black person in the entire jury pool and the youngest. 🧵 1/

After nearly 4 years, Sheila Stanton Place (Formerly La Quinta Inn) has officially opened in #Kirkland. For its initial phase earlier this year, around 40 residents had been moved in. They also offer on-site wraparound care, such as medical and behavioral health care and counseling. 1/

Jonathan Choe & the national far right are trying to bat signal in armed far right wingers from out of town to try and intimidate locals out of counterprotesting Erika Kirk's appearance here in #Kirkland. It's more important now than ever that we do not let hate exist in silence.

Seen earlier today in Capitol Hill, #Seattle.

The local anti LGBTQ+ hate church, Pursuit NW, is hosting Erika Kirk in #Kirkland next month on July 24th. Spreading hatred and bigotry won't get you into heaven. "If anyone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar" -1 John 4:20. www.thestranger.com/news/gods-ar...

Residents will receive affordable housing with on-site services and wraparound care. Programs like King County's Health Through Housing aren't just badly needed; they are life-saving. kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dchs... www.kirklandwa.gov/Government/C... www.theurbanist.org/king-countys... 2/

4 years after the La Quinta Inn was first announced as a supportive housing site for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, the building, now called Sheila Stanton Place, is expected to welcome its first 44 residents in the coming weeks. newsletter.liveablekirkland.org/p/liveable-k...? 1

Hello friends. I'm so excited to announce that tonight, the Kirkland City Council voted to appoint me to the Transportation Commission for a 4-year term. I can't wait to serve the community I call home and, hopefully, be part of improving transit access throughout the city. Stay tuned ❤️

Um, why is the Pierce County Sheriff's Office "investigating" a high school #pride month display on the behest of Brandi Kruse?? @ericacbarnett.bsky.social

Matt Marshall & his militia WA 3% violently harassed my family back in 2019, which included publicly doxxing our address, sending harassing letters to our home, & making violent/racist threats. He only cares about working-class families if they're white. x.com/i/status/115...

Guess which local RW group is publicly taking credit for Trump's HUD policies? If you said We 💚 Seattle, you'd be correct. WHS is celebrating changes that could result in up to 3.7 million people, half of them children, losing their housing assistance. www.cbpp.org/research/hou...

Some people are just not meant for elected office. Going immediately to the police and courts to deal with an annoying constituent is just wild. publicola.com/2026/06/01/a...

The person who dropped $100k at The More We Love fundraiser is Carl Haglund, one of our region's most notorious slumlords. If you have slumlords in your corner, this should be a giant red flag that something is wrong: www.thestranger.com/news/2015/10...

Andrea Suarez and her friend Kate Martin worked together to file this complaint with the PDC, believing that I was the person behind the WHS exposed The PDC and the WA AG should never be misused for harassment purposes. 2/

We 💚 Seattle lied about me being behind the WHS exposed website for years, and kept lying until there was undeniable proof it wasn't me. Andrea Suarez also used her nonprofit, WHS, as a vehicle for her 2024 campaign, which is expressly illegal 1/ x.com/i/status/185...

Nice of Andrea Suarez of We 💚 Seattle to admit she lied about me being behind the exposed website. www.capitolhillseattle.com/2024/10/capi... @jseattle.bsky.social

I've put forward a resolution, passed by the First Legislative District Dems, asking the Governor's office to create a working group to address these issues and develop options, such as public option grocery stores. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:... 2/

This is really sad and entirely predictable. These comments from Cherish Kirkland, saying I only got in the final 3 because I am a POC and insinuating I'm too "uneducated" to have gotten there on my own, are a level of racism that isn't surprising to see. www.facebook.com/share/1SzrNp...
