Here's one for the housing nerds! @houseourneighbors.bsky.social and @mayorofseattle.bsky.social hard work to pass HB 1687 paid off -- the Senate approved the bill and including Social Housing Developers in the Housing Cooperation law is off to the Governor's desk!!! #waleg

Game Changer!!! And happy birthday to my kiddo!

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

In most of Seattle, it was and still is illegal to build apartments, condos, denser & more affordable housing that make best use of the expensive land. So we have a highly segregated Seattle: houses-with-lawns in unpolluted neighborhoods, versus apartments on loud polluted streets.

Joe Fitzgibbon should resign for this and if he doesn't resign he should be removed as majority leader. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

"The city’s new social housing tax, levied on lofty pay packages to pay for public housing, was due Jan. 31. The startling news was that it blew the projections out of the water."👏 www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Laying on couch sick watching my friend @rianwatt.bsky.social spread the good word

Thank youuuuuu Rep Reed

Grocery prices continue to climb. Health care is more expensive than ever. And fewer Americans can buy a home. To tackle these issues, Republicans in Washington are calling for an investigation into Bad Bunny.

Live stream for @houseourneighbors.bsky.social “State of Social Housing” with @mayorofseattle.bsky.social starting soon www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X2O...

👇👇👇

Take 30 seconds to urge your state lawmakers to pass HB 1687. This is a pro-housing (social) housing bill lawmakers can take this session that doesn’t cost any money. Plus, it would relax land use restrictions for social housing. Thanks @juliareedwa.bsky.social ! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

This needs to be repeated: Our housing plans should not revolve around "Corridors." Homes belong in neighborhoods. We voted for new leadership on housing. Unfortunately, it has not yet arrived.

our comp plan is a public health and livability nightmare - funneling affordable housing and renters on to loud, dangerous, and polluted streets that are difficult to cross - while protecting homeowners from the arterial renters continue to be fodder to protect wealthy. this sucks so much.

straight up Gestapo shit

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

And *thus far all of them are Black.

I shouldn’t have had to make a damn BLINK COMPARATOR so that people can catch what got NIMBYed and downzoned in this version. OPCD could have released a difference map, it’s all already in GIS, it probably would have taken minutes of effort. They wanted to bury the lede.

Update! Mayor Katie Wilson will be one of our guest speakers at our upcoming State of Social Housing. Tickets are going fast so make sure to register if you want to attend! tinyurl.com/stateofsocia...

Sign in PRO on SB 6201

The reason why you don’t know how to process what is happening is because you found it permissible when you were under the illusion it could only happen to other people.

If the Abdundance interests had their way, then there would not be organized labor unions, non-profits, and others of "the groups" out there working as the backbone infrastructure protecting Minnesotans from fascism. jacobin.com/2025/07/abun...

oh hey you can sign in pro in support of property tax exemptions for social housing agencies here, SB 6201 Social housing agencies/tax app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Senate?s...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

If I were actually a free thinker who questioned everything I might get to wondering why my government tries to make me mad at Somalis every time something new comes out about Epstein

Ethics rule: no city funds for election campaigns @bruceforseattle.bsky.social: *make 11 city employees work overtime + through the weekend on a new 4-location new shoot script they suddenly cranked out Friday afternoon, after losing the primary* Seattle ethics commission: 😗👀 nothing to see here

Looking forward to the Wilson Administration getting a crack at the draft Downtown Seattle regional center plan. As it stands right now, we're apparently only planning on public transit having priority on one single street downtown, which is wild.

Ferguson proposing $3 billion in bonds for highways and vehicle ferries and then proposing to divert hundreds of millions in Climate Commitment Act dollars a few days later is such an incredible one-two punch.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

Cliché take but I’m so thankful for all my social housing peeps! We believe in a vision that is antithetical to how housing is provided in this country. Thank you for believing in that vision. Thank you for NEVER compromising on this vision. We know what we can achieve and we will never give up

We are not a serious country, at all.

Honored and ready 💕 (I’d put a multi-family housing emoji but apparently I can only find single family emojis)

Another way to reduce electricity prices? Shifting from for-profit, investor-owned monopoly utilities to municipal utilities or member-owned co-operatives would save about 15% on electricity bills, averaged over locations and customer classes.

➕➕

Mayor-Elect Wilson, bring back the congestion pricing study! The average Seattle-area driver loses 87 hours of their life each year sitting in traffic. That's over 3.5 days. Think about what you're missing out on. Books read, meals shared. That's time you'll never get back.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

He’s already salty

🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has expanded her lead in the Seattle mayor race. She is now leading by 1,346 votes.

Brad Smith who personally donated to the Prop 1A opposition campaign…

One big lesson from Mamdani's victory: Don't be afraid of billionaires. Make billionaires afraid of you. Take them on, don't back down. Billionaires from Musk on down used all their tricks and failed. Democrats are trained to lust after billionaire money, but courage has tremendous value.

Did SPD solve all of the violent crime, property crime, traffic violence, and clear case backlogs in the city that they have capacity to do other agencies’ administrative work?

Yayyyyy Katie! Almost there
