the wooden massing model for freiburg's dietenbach ecodistrict is massive and amazing. note different colors - different buildings. different heights. large courtyards. www.freiburg.de/pb/1980721.h...

Absolutely correct.

"Today, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and handed politicians a roadmap to erase the voting power of Black, Latino, API, and Indigenous communities while hiding behind the excuse of 'partisanship.'" - @seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett's full statement: seiu.co/4n2Xc4v

Today, SEIU 925 members packed the King County Council meeting and delivered a clear message: workers in Parks, Wastewater, and Public Defense will not be ignored. For months, King County has stonewalled workers on wages, benefits, public defender caseloads, and more. #UnionsForAll

The Black University & Community Currencies

Truly the worst liars on the planet. They will say anything to make themselves right

What else is possible...

Super interesting apartment plan Kitchens are pushed to the corners, allowing them to open up to the balconies in the summer, becoming semi-outdoor kitchens! In Zurich. By Studio Schloo

This here needs to stop. Why subsidize SFH? Just make them pay the proper price and remove the pressure on apartment dwellers. This is wealth transfer in the wrong direction. This exacerbates inequalities and amplifies social crisis.

It's almost like the conservative politicians of the country are liars and fatmouths. None of the policies do what they claim yet we just keep chugging along trying again and turning up the pain.

As states enact stricter work requirements for the federal food stamp program, a new analysis suggests those requirements won’t enhance employment and will push more people off of food assistance, reports Kevin Hardy of @stateline.org.

The Seattle Loop: Reclaiming the Public Interest

This is the battle of our times. The other issue connect to this issue. From militarization and connecting it to austerity. Income inequality with the threat if you don't comply you will been thrown in the street and the dangling carrot of riches if you really commit to the capitalism. We must fight

They said raising the minimum wage would cost jobs, so economists tested the claim—hundreds of times. Result? @arindube.bsky.social explains on our latest pod. Watch ⬇️ then listen to the full episode: buff.ly/5LcZi46

América, Your No Kings protests were a good start. But I’m afraid to make a difference your going to have to be more like the French. Protest every day. Shut the country down. One protest every 3 months doesn’t effect change. Daily pressure does.

By establishing a municipal bank, Seattle can purchase its own debt and “loop” the interest back to the city instead of to private creditors.

new townhouses suck because they're just way too dense leaving none of the amenities of traditional urban rowhouse development. it has nothing to do with the architecture or build quality www.slowboring.com/p/make-townh...

better architecture ain't fixing this, folks

This administration continues it's run of stories that would bring down any other administration yet they're RainX to the downpour.

If you're so inclined, please contact KIRO and let them know (politely!) what you think of their decision to use their power to trash a longtime independent journalist and one of the only remaining people reporting on City Hall. mynorthwest.com/contact-us

Charlotte bought Norfolk Southern right-of-way, passed a funding referendum, *and* approved the design of a regional rail in two years. Atlanta, never let Andre Dickens and marta tell you that better rail transit is impossible.

Absolutely! This isn't hard the people are on board with taxing the rich in a way we haven't in a long long time. The important part is delivering those dollars to schools, childcare, and housing as primary focus imo.

Countries should start kicking us out of their countries where we have bases. This administration is a threat to their sovereignty and national security.

i’ll just keep posting variations on elementary human decency, not that it matters

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

This really exposes the lie from the Tech Bros that autonomous robot taxis are the only way to reduce traffic fatalities.

Single stair accessible flats, and a corner cafe. Replacing a single home on a 50x122 lot.

If you wonder why every year your school or city seems to be scrambling to keep basic things going but always asking for more money and things never seem to get better and people just pay for things privately (so poor are left out), well this is why.

We need to stop reinventing the wheel we know how to build stacked, larger, family sized homes on a single lot. No need to get more creative, or overthink this. Just build what we always have. They’ll sell, they are beloved, they need to be allowed again

...Instead, spending has declined by 61% in K-12 education; 68% in higher education; and (since 1998) by 44% in social, health, and human services... Thanks to the incredible staff @eoionline.bsky.social for calling BS!

Love her. ✊️

And nothing happened. So, the bodycam/retraining/new rules for the Gestapo people understand why that isn't good enough now, yeah?

Ramadan Mubarak to all our observing union families and friends! 🌙 ⭐️

Too many people still can’t make ends meet, too many families still struggle to afford care, and too many barriers remain in place. Sen. @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social shares what truly powers an economy: It's people who feel empowered to care for themselves and their families. #WALeg

Sen. Sharon Shewmake: WA voters overwhelmingly rejected attempts to cut education and early learning when they defeated Brian Heywood's initiatives 2 years ago. Says polling show 54% of republicans in WA support the Millionaires tax. "Funding schools with taxes on the wealthy few is popular"

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

This is the energy we need across the country on this issue. More of this at every level of government.

“Abundance” has become a powerful policy frame—but it raises real questions about power, accountability, and who gets to decide what gets built. A candid conversation on abundance, social democracy, permitting, and government power. 🎧Listen now: buff.ly/5HrFvUv

Congressional Democrats need to understand that the government they normally vote to fund doesn't exist anymore. All government funding gives terrorist leader Donald Trump more power to terrorize people. Republicans can end the shutdown by voluntarily dissolving their fascist regime.

We honor Graeber’s writings as indispensable for denaturalizing money and obligation and for catalyzing new forms of organizing. However, we also argue that some of Graeber’s basic assumptions about money and public provisioning limit what the left can imagine and accomplish.

I concur

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission is what you do when the regime voluntarily cedes power, and as part of the deal, gets immunity from prosecution. A criminal tribunal is what you do when they cling to power and are unrepentant about their crimes. The USA needs a criminal tribunal.

They're going to add legislation to get training to make sure paperwork is filled out properly in the future in exchange for $10 Billion dollars in more funding for the rogue agency.

When do the impeachments start. When does the opposition party start opposing?
