City Council will choose a new City Manager in months ahead. You can tell them the qualities to look for. Write to [email protected] with subject line "City Manager Search". Deadline is Wed. Aug 26 -- so hurry!
Yes, be ready for this. Note: the longer mail-in votes take to count, the more the vote shifts to Dems because large cities get their counts in last. #democracy #Election2020 #MailInVoting #blueshift

I don't think #BarackObama ever wanted to give a speech like the one he had to give last night.
The fact he felt like he NEEDED to deliver that speech speaks VOLUMES. It really exposes where his heart is at this moment.

Hooray for @AGOWA Bob Ferguson for bringing a law suit against the #PostmasterGeneralDeJoy for slowing US Mail. 12 states have joined the suit. Smart strategy. #PostalService #VoteByMail2020
My friend Danny Glover is spot on.
It’s hard to think of an institution more central to American life than the U.S. Postal Service, maybe that’s why it’s so easy to take it for granted. youtu.be/56Lqq1Fikvc #SaveTheUSPS
For Bainbridge Islanders, be sure to fill out your postcard from #COBI on your Big Idea for #SustainableTransportation. Mine is that we have the infrastructure so all kids can safely walk, bike, or roll to school every day. #COBIbigidea @bi_greenways
The struggle continues for all. Blacks, ex-cons, people of color, people who vote by mail; people who want to know the machines count correctly, people mysteriously eliminated from the voter rolls. So many ways to suppress the vote. #19Amendment #RightToVote #democracy
100 years ago, the #19thAmendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote. Our fight for voting rights continues to this day.

.@JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris blew me away with their speeches today. Both are stronger than I've ever seen them. It's incredible to watch as they invent a completely new way to campaign. It's medicine. And it's beautiful. #BidenHarris2020
The Trump administration undermines the viability of the Post Office. The #USPS has over 600,000 employees. I think they know how to vote and where to drop their ballot.
The @AGOWA must scrutinize the merger of Virginia Mason with CHI-Franciscan. VM agreed to abide by CHI's restrictions on #reproductiverights and #endoflife services. This merger will deprive Washingtonians of vital services. Stop or modify this merger. #eol
I'm thrilled #FlattenTheCurve has gone viral. Conveys the systemic nature of the goal of our many steps to slow #COVID19 .
Justice at last for North Carolina. Other states need to follow. Looking at you #Wisconsin. #FairMaps #gerrymander

#TulsiGabbard nails it on the problems with the #TPP. #Fairtrade not #freetrade. #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate

There hasn't been NEARLY ENOUGH discussion either night about fundamental democracy issues — campaign donations, dark money, corporate capture of Washington.
Little IF ANY of these ambitious policies will pass if there's not significant changes to how Washington works.
Debate pivots off of #climatechange with great speed. On to lead in NYC. Humanity's greatest threat needs only a few minutes. #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate #DemocraticDebate2020
