I’m proud to cohost this fundraising event to support @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social campaign for Mayor. She is the Mayor and leader we need, and I’m also honored to call her a friend. Can you join us on Mon, Oct 6th at 6pm in West Seattle? RSVP here secure.anedot.com/kw4aas/wests...

"To my colleagues in mainstream media: your silence is complicity. Your 'boths-sides-ism' is complicty. Your euphemisms for genocide is complicity." From my speech accepting the 'Path of Truth' award from Palestinian diaspora group KTH. Full speech: zeteo.com/p/palestine-...

Harrell needs to pick up any anti-fascist/anti-authoritarian book, quickly. Radical hope, love, resistance, and a bold social program are the only hope we have to combat fascism. Telling people to not hope is dangerous.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Bald faced lie. Harrell halts housing.

Lol how embarrassing for the Seattle Times Ed Board

These guys just love losing. Yes--you Seattle Times Editorial Board. We are embarrassed for you. 🫥 www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

It is incumbent on CM Rivera to explain what “robust outreach” would look like. Stop beating up on City workers!

Describing her childhood in a "fifth-story walkup apartment" in Queens where everyone was "on top of each other," Rivera says it was very hot in her apartment and she was grateful for parks. If this is her priority, then why were all her tree amendments about private trees on house owners' lawns?

Yes, we will Housey themed cookies at our Homegrown event this evening! We still have some tickets left! RSVP here tinyurl.com/HONhomegrown

oh hey after hours revisions to 102 that makes it even more of a poison pill complete redesign in <30 days. not just for NR zones, but LR, midrise, commercial and mixed zones this is insane. this is a bill to kill housing @theurbanist.org @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social @jessdbateman.bsky.social

This was a lot of fun!

TOMORROW! Just 1 more day until Homegrown: A Night for Social Housing! Everything you need to know for tomorrow night: Thursday, September 18th from 6-8:30 pm at the Centilia Cultural Center. Music, Comedy, Community and Celebration. RSVP please and see you there! tinyurl.com/HONhomegrown

Send a letter to Seattle council to tell them not to pass Amendment 102! This amendment would kill housing and make existing inequities in tree cover btwn wealthy white neighborhoods and elsewhere EVEN WORSE actionnetwork.org/letters/amen...

Well well

Why aren’t the tree folks speaking in favor of ending parking minimums? Those parking spaces could go to trees.

Hot take (not really): The more opposition to a neighborhood center there is, the more it should be established. Strong, organized opposition to a nbhd center is indicative of an unhealthy, unwelcoming environment that has stagnated and is in dire need of new infusions of life, diversity, services.

abundance doesn't do this. it punches left while waving right. it completely ignores a long history of racist land use policies - going as far as lamenting environmental regs ensuring renters who literally live on highways can breathe - instead of, say, eliminating the highway

an ~80' tall white pine that was killed by the heat dome was felled today no one from tree action seattle or sim groups showed up to mourn it or the thousands of other trees killed by excessive heat due to climate change, exacerbated by single family zoning and cars

he literally thinks he is a king. i mean, this entire media blitz for when he signs executive orders is meant to create the impression that they are royal decrees

Donald Trump continues to show that he has no intention of ever leaving the White House. He’s not building this ballroom for the next president.

Looking forward to joining The Block Table tonight for a post-primary debrief at the Rabbit Box from 5:30-7!

Friends. I want to see Katie Wilson win in Seattle, so I started making calls in July to start a PAC to support her against Harrell and his corporate backers’ bottomless pockets. Huge shoutout to our lead donor Protec 17 for stepping up and digging deep. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/08...

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Tonight in Washington D.C. The sign reads: “The Bondi order is unlawful you are not obligated to follow it”

Also, the idea that making more money necessitates paying more in rent to the for-profit rental market shows the rot of means tested thinking. None of us should be required to fork over our labor dollars to profit seeking companies for one of our most basic human needs.

Hell yes!

Homegrown: A Night for Social Housing will feature a musical performance from Abyssinian Creole! Both storied MC’s with multiple decades of solo and group work behind them. Homegrown is a free event on September 18th from 6-8:30pm. Please RSVP here www.eventbrite.com/e/homegrown-...

Motherfucking wind farms…

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

🎯

We are a renter majority city, in a housing affordability crisis, precarious housing finance situation with HUD dollars in jeapordy, but whatevs

So proud of PROTEC 17 for living their values and standing courageously with the candidate who will do the most for city workers @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social. PROTEC 17 didn’t give into fear of the well documented grudges of current Mayor Harrell. Inspiring.

there's no such thing as a sustainable car or SUV

NOAA and FEMA are being gutted and our infrastructure was designed for the weather of 100 years ago.

No, we want to decommodify housing. We are actively working to create a housing sector that removes the financialization of one of our most basic human needs and instead provides that most basic human need (housing) as a public good.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Kids’ summer camps should be required to inform parents when the after care you are paying for is to turn on a movie.

Katie is the OG “Trump Proof Seattle” organizer.

At what point do the dense parts of the city get to just stop subsidizing the single family home parts of the city?

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Seattle PD has an established protocol to disclose information to ICE. That runs through Mayor Bruce Harrell's Office. Neither Mayor Harrell, nor SPD will respond to questions about their ICE info sharing. www.hardpressed-info.com/seattle-mayo...

Actions must speak louder than words right now. We need to stop applauding “strong” verbal/written responses and demand action.

“Why are these police dressed like they’re going into combat” Cause we gave them the clothes and the gear. There was a very public discussion about it.

Our approach to climate change summed up in one photo from @mprnews.org . 🫠

Cathy Moore, Sara Nelson, Rob Saka, et all are examples of why the left in Seattle needs to get serious about electoral organizing. They need a systematic and intentionally collective approach. No gods, no heroes. Organize together. When lefties leave, have people ready to run to keep the momentum.

i can't believe i wrote this w/ @ronpdavis.bsky.social and Tiffani McCoy just 6 months ago. because absolutely nothing changed... we got a comp plan that pretends climate change ain't real and we don't have an affordable housing crisis www.theurbanist.org/2024/03/13/o...
