NEW OP-ED// Op-Ed: Stop MAGA from Taking Over Washington, Vote No on I-645, I-001, and I-638 By Suresh Chanmugam via @theurbanist.org

theurbanist.orgOp-Ed: Stop MAGA from Taking Over Washington, Vote No on I-645, I-001, and I-638Three harmful statewide ballot initiatives, which seek to block the millionaires tax and curtail the rights of queer and transgender kids in Washington state, are an effort to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

Fact check: The Millionaires Tax can't apply to union pensions! So why doesn’t it explicitly exclude pensions and retirement accounts? Because the people who should be paying the Millionaire Tax could use that as a loophole to defer income and avoid paying what they owe.

No on I-645
@no645.bsky.social

Initiative 645’s math isn't mathing: cut billions from public schools, squeeze more kids into classrooms, and expect good results? Teachers give I-645 a failing grade. Vote NO when you get your ballot: no645.com

Graham Street station is a win for south Seattle and equitable transit in our city. Thank you to the community coalition that organized for this station over many years and to King County Executive Zahilay and my other colleagues on the Sound Transit board who voted to support making it a reality.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

Big win for Seattle consumers 🛒 Today we passed Fair Pricing legislation, banning companies from using your personal data to charge you more than the person next to you. Same product, same store, same price — no matter who’s pushing the cart.

No on I-645
@no645.bsky.social

Working families in WA are already struggling with overcrowded classrooms, expensive childcare, and skyrocketing healthcare costs. I-645 would only make these problems worse. It’s an easy NO on I-645 this fall. no645.com

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

Thank you @mayor.seattle.gov city council member @cmdionnefoster.seattle.gov and city attorney Erica Evans. And thank you to all who lobbied and pushed for this important legislation.

Mayor Katie B. Wilson@mayor.seattle.gov

We banned rental junk fees! Starting July 1st, 2027, the price you see is the price you pay — no pet rent, no admin fees, no lease renewal fees. Step by step, we’re building an affordable Seattle. Thanks to City Attorney Evans and Councilmember Foster, and to the Stay Housed, Stay Healthy Coalition!

Tonight the 37th LD Democrats voted UNANIMOUSLY to support the @no645.bsky.social campaign. We urge everyone to vote NO on this deceptive campaign.

No on I-645@no645.bsky.social

The so-called “wealth flight” is a myth. The facts? In Washington, the people with the lowest incomes pay 3.5x more in state and local taxes than the richest 1 percent. Those are the people we should be worried about leaving. Vote NO on I-645 this November.

Mayor Wilson, Councilmember Foster, Councilmember Saka and I are teaming up to ban surveillance pricing at grocery chains in Seattle. Surveillance pricing is a harmful practice where your data is weaponized against you to price gouge. (1/2)

Legacy homeowners in the 37th LD are particularly vulnerable to this predatory practice, so we want to thank @mayor.seattle.gov and @cmdionnefoster.seattle.gov for your leadership on this critical issue.

Mayor Katie B. Wilson@mayor.seattle.gov

Everyone deserves peace, dignity and privacy in their own home, and that’s why I signed into law the city’s first “Do Not Solicit” list that gives homeowners a clear way to opt out of real estate solicitation and the power to pursue legal action if it persists.

A major win for accountability and human dignity! After more than 3,000 complaints of medical treatment, food, water quality, and other conditions, a federal judge has ruled that WA health inspectors must be allowed inside Tacoma’s immigrant detention center.
