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

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Erica C Barnett at @publicola.bsky.social doing the peoples work. Absolutely stellar, in depth reporting that continues to showcase the cronyism and corruption of the Harrell administration. publicola.com/2025/10/30/h...

Have you voted yet? Have your friends?

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

Katie Wilson said she and Mayor Harrell see power differently. He has dismissed her accomplishments as an organizer, but she argued real power for change is bottom up, not top down.

Make sure you encourage everyone you know to vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social. Encourage them to drop their ballot in a drop box, the federal shutdown will affect ballots sent through USPS

I wish my parents could have helped pay for childcare. It takes a village.

This conversation filled my cup. 💕

Tonight we're talking about a positive vision for the future, the lives we are fighting hard for beyond the reach of the fascists trying to drive us underground and crush our communities— something that isn't hypothetical here in Portland.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Tonight!

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.

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

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
