VIDEO: Seattle Starbucks workers are on strike right now, trying to achieve their first contract to secure a living wage, proper staffing and good working conditions. I spoke to Emma Cox, a barista at the U District Starbucks who’s helping lead the picket line at her store.

What's a good headline for a story about the president threatening elected officials with death?

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

My band Killing Caesar is performing with three other bands this Sunday at the Belltown Yacht Club for a measly 15 bucks, which is like $3.75 a band, roughly 37 cents a song so you really can't afford not to go. Tix: dice.fm/event/53x79d...

Love the "objective" wording of the headline that's tortured to an inch of its life to avoid stating the reality that fascist bigots want us all dead. They want you dead too, NPR!

Attention, along with boycotting Starbucks, here is a list of other establishments you can refuse to give your money to, on account of their CEO being an insufferable prick. We ask our fellow communist comrades in New York and Spokane and Boise to do the same. #boycott #seattle #nyc #spokane

“…community patrols, rapid responders, school escorts, vendor buyouts, honking horns and blowing whistles…” Chicago is showing us a blueprint right now

Harrell publicly defended a pedophile rapist *not on the basis of innocence* but because the crimes happened thirty years ago. And THEN he got elected Mayor! The Seattle big biz political machine is a suit of armor that hardly anything can punch through.

Your move, Gov. Ferguson!

like, genuinely - why does it seem like the platform is lined with supports for canopies but only canopies on a couple of them?

It still blows my mind that Monisha Harrell, at great risk to herself and her future prospects, blew the whistle on her uncle's corrupt, misogynist, profoundly toxic leadership and Seattle essentially just shrugged it off.

Harrell at his concession speech: "I'm known to crack jokes at funerals. That's when you need it the most."

This paragraph especially! If I understand him right, he's saying "moral clarity it good" and the right has been utterly immoral so it might sound weird to criticize moral clarity. HOWEVER, because the left is bad [unspecified reasons], "moral clarity is an obstacle to insight." ???

These motherfuckers really tried to buy our election. And with @kuow.org 's help, they nearly succeeded!

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

tough day for Pete Buttigieg though

The WORST people in Seattle are crashing out about mayor-elect Katie Wilson. Frankly, you love to see it VERY funny that Andrea Suarez thinks the reason Bruce Harrell didn't win is because he didn't give her and her jackboots the key to the city lmaooooooo

Dozens of Indigenous protesters forced their way into the COP30 climate summit venue and clashed with security guards at the entrance to demand climate action and forest protection.

Big day for KUOW. The misinformation they injected into the race is traveling the world.

RAD Power Bike CEO Kathi Lentzsch is a Harrell campaign donor.

Kwame Ture, on the liberal: The liberal is part of the oppressor. He enjoys the status quo; while he himself may not be actively oppressing other people, he enjoys the fruits of that oppression. And he rhetorically tries to claim that he is disgusted with the system as it is. 1/12

RIP Lenny Wilkens :( You were one of the great teachers in the NBA for many years, and always a gentleman. I wish you'd lived to see the Sonics come back but you gave us that one magical championship.

I don't think it has penetrated the public consciousness how much cops are just straight up assholes. I'll never forget a convoy of them doing high speed tantrum laps around my First Hill block in 2020 with their sirens on, for no reason other than that they are big terrifying babies.

Taco Stand on Northgate was back open tonight. As I went we watch SPD go around in circles and turns on their sirens a few times. What is this? This seems very strange if they’re doing something wrong then talk to them. This felt like intimidation

And in the middle brutalized queer kids in defense of a christian nationalist bigots at Cal Anderson.

“Providing the homeless with a place to live may seem like a high cost for taxpayers. But the alternative, it turns out, is more costly, new research shows. Subsidized accommodation could actually be a bargain for the public, in purely economic terms.” Via @fastcompany

"Of course you've got to compare this to the historical data of Wednesday drops vs. Thursday drops--Gonzales, Moon, and what have you--but it's really all about Friday and the floating target of turnout-by-age," I say confidently to my wife, repeating shit from Bluesky that I barely understand.

They stopped shoving these people in lockers and now they've clicked with the Nazi’s amongst you and the result is COMPLETE AND UTTER CHAOS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY! Now we know you're scared of the skinheads and Nazis, but y'all should be able to handle the Dorks!!!

YT America has a “DORK” problem. I want them to FIX IT.

My latest about contingency plans (or lack of them) for increased ICE enforcement and/or National Guard deployment in Seattle. If you've been hoping SPD might intervene on behalf of Seattle residents, you might want to read until the end.

Absolutely. At a minimum, someone must have made some bs argument about "balanced reporting" that meant they had to try to shiv Katie in some way to balance out all the very real corrupt things KUOW reported Harrell has done. No excuses for how long those corrections took to post. Way too long.

Bruce Harrell is a defender of rapists, a toxic misogynist, has a history of violent threats and more scandals and shady bullshit than any Seattle politician in recent history. Most normal ppl don't know any pf this. Local media is largely deferential to power.

If you’re looking for an interesting alternative to light, I suggest checking out shadows

In high school my buddy and I told our teacher the reason we were tardy was we had just met Pat Morita at Dunkin Donuts. We produced a Dunkin Donuts napkin with a forged autograph as proof. The teacher was excited and told the class about it.

This is the progress for anyone who listens to The Beach Boys Love You

If Harrell’s goal was to suppress turnout with negative campaigning, it doesn’t look like it’s working.

A 1977 album I never heard is "maybe their greatest"? Of course I had to check it out. Listen 1: LOL, WTF is this? Listen 2: Kind of catchy? Listen 3: Is this the greatest thing I ever heard? Day 10: Obsessed. Glazed eyes. Wandering around mumble-singing "Maybe it WON'T last but what do we care .."

america is in a time of great transition

Ok this is terrifying

Like their self-image is that they're trolling Christians by putting him in government buildings but they don't even have the balls to do the most fucked version. Fucking pansy-ass satanists

There's a lot of shit wrong with the Satanic Temple but a thing I will forever be mad at them about is taking away Baphomet's tits.

SPD Drug Arrests Were Part of Trump's Anti-Immigrant "Operation Take Back America" Police Chief Shon Barnes thanked "our federal partners" for facilitating the arrests of 10 accused drug traffickers, all with Hispanic surnames. publicola.com/2025/10/31/s...

For last month’s Streets Dept Excursion, we checked out murals in West Philly, including this 20-year-old landmark from artist Ana Uribe! Located at 47th and Upland Streets, the mural was created with kids from the neighborhood and celebrates the power of mentorship!

Bruce Harrell's Seattle city budget sends Seattle into a hole of $140 million in 2027 and potentially, $374 million by 2029. His spending priorities? A LOT more cops, surveillance cameras, and crackdowns on graffiti, homeless encampments and - checks notes- taco trucks? publicola.com/2025/10/28/a...
