Imagine winning your last 2 elections by 750k votes in a Democratic trifecta state and posting this twaddle

"Ruined" #DOOMLOOP #Seattle

Pretty sure this is the guy who solicited contact info from other dept directors to give to the Harrell campaign *on a city Teams chat.* (Markham Macintyre of OED). He looks...concerned heh 👋 publicola.com/2025/10/30/w...

i am not gonna miss having a mayor whose main go-to move was invoking "unity" to silence dissent (i.e. "One Seattle"). and how awesome it is to have a mayor who centers out the struggle of working artists in her inaugural

FYI King County Council declined to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism 2 years ago after strong pushback from local progressive Jews. Pro-genocide fascists like Ari Hoffmann bellowed w/outrage then, too, which is how you know it was the right move. Nothing controversial about rejecting it

stoked to have a cartoonist first lady

Shut the fuck up about Mamdani bein' a communionist or a socialite or whatever. I don't wanna hear it no more. He's the boss now.

Every time the legacy media tries to whip up some suburb-coded bullshit about Mayor Wilson she should pedestrianize another block. Whenever they get really over-the-top: whoops here's a superblock

Joy Hollingsworth, Sara Nelson, Bob Kettle, Tanya Woo, and one third of Nirvana backed this ghoul (she lost by 40 points to @organizewithshaun.bsky.social haha)

It's very Seattle-niche, but Brett is incredibly good at encapsulating the dysfunction of city officials.

The 2025 Wrapped we've all been waiting for.

Happy Hanukkah!

little kid hockey is great, they wear so many pads you can send your parents a video of literally any kid making a great play and be like "your grandson 💪"

FROM THE VAULT: Toddler Conversation Starters

not sure but the mayor and her chief of staff are both Union Members in Good Standing clockoutlounge.com/tm-event/emm...

2017 I did comedy for a Transit Riders Union event at The Neighbor Lady (b4 they got evicted by Uncle Ike for refusing to hang Egan Orion posters lol). If u told me this ragtag group would someday put a mayor in City Hall I wouldn't believe it. Hell, I'd have a hard time believing it a year ago!
