"Those who attempt to shut China out in the name of de-risking will make a historical mistake"

Seattle DSA and a broad coalition of working class organizations helped deliver Renton the highest minimum wage in the country through the passage of Measure 23-02. Now, South King County DSA organizers are forming a branch and expanding a socialist presence in a multiracial, working class city.

Tonight, Seattle DSA is celebrating a historic win for the working class in Renton. Voters have overwhelmingly decided to raise the minimum wage to $20.29/hour for the largest employers in town. This victory will facilitate a wealth transfer of tens of millions of dollars a year from the capitalist class to working class Rentonites.

We’re grateful for our coalition partners who were crucial in this campaign. The Renton Education Association played a crucial role: three REA members served on the Raise the Wage Renton steering committee and helped lead this campaign to victory. Contributions from labor and individuals sustained the campaign for over 13 months. Our progressive ally and Renton City Councilmember Carmen Rivera has been a champion of raising the wage from the beginning, despite constant outside pressures from business interests. The Transit Riders Union are the architects of Tukwila's minimum wage initiative, and their guidance was a huge factor in getting this initiative passed.

Raise the Wage Renton’s steering committee and PAC board were composed entirely of DSA members. Most of these members, including everyone on the PAC board, live and work in Renton, and were fighting alongside fellow workers for greater economic freedom. The campaign knocked on 25,000+ doors, canvassed 59,000+ voters, made 14,000+ phone calls, and had 15,000+ conversations with Renton voters in the field or on the phone.

Over 100 DSA members mobilized for 90% of these canvass attempts and 75% of these phone calls. Membership mobilized at an unprecedented scale for our chapter, showing the power of a member-driven DSA campaign! Working at this scale established a new socialist organizing presence in Renton, and we're excited for what the future holds for Seattle DSA and our soon to be formed South King County Branch.

Stalin’s solution was to have Wayne killed by the KGB. Munn’s source for this information? None other than Orson Welles, who apparently recounted the story unprompted at a dinner in 1983. According to Munn, Russian filmmaker Alexei Kapler blabbed to fellow director Sergei Bonachuck about the order. Bonachuck, though sceptical at first, asked Gerisimov to confirm the tale. He did, and so Bonachuck told Welles.

this rocks lol

Supposedly it's an error:

A person familiar with the kerfuffle who has visibility into the Windows giant, though who did not want to be identified, told us it appears that "if a user chose continuous import in the Edge first run experience on some other device, this state may be syncing incorrectly across their devices. This is not the intended feature experience." We're assured that Microsoft is addressing it for the next Edge Stable release.
