Even Adonis Ducksworth opposes Harrell’s video surveillance legislation.

Thanks so much to Landon George of MJ Lenderman’s band for spreading the word about my campaign for an affordable, livable Seattle at The Moore in Belltown last night. The arts and nightlife are key to a thriving city. As your Mayor, I’ll support working artists and venues alike! #thisisyourcity

A once in 10 year opportunity to end our housing crisis and 2 of 9 councilmembers missed critical votes.

Yay! Green stacked flat bonus (amendment 91) passed! This version is important because it rewards both preserving existing trees *and* adding new trees and green space to lots that don't yet have enough to preserve.

TikTok and Meta will start censoring speech soon. Reminder that Signal is a non-profit and has a Stories feature.

MLK Labor has dual endorsed Katie Wilson, months after sole endorsing Bruce Harrell. Endorsements from elected who take the group’s lead, like Teresa Mosqueda, will follow

Last chance to place your order for this print run! These are great to have on hand when talking to voters about public safety :)

this supercut of Mayor Bruce Harrell talking over and interrupting his challenger, Katie Wilson, delivers the vibe of the half-hour debate in a concentrated 20-second blast

America is now a place where a prominent cable news host can openly call for homeless people to be murdered — and face zero consequences.

It's over! 4+ hours later, final commenter at # 243

Seattle's long in-person public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan has officially kicked off. First comments were from @ceceliablack.bsky.social: "As you're going through this Comp Plan, I would really hope you ask yourself what you would do if you were disabled tomorrow and you couldn't drive."

Alright folks, it's game day! Join us to fight for housing this afternoon at city hall!

Harrell drastically scaled back the housing plan that city planners drafted to appease his core constituency, wealthy owners of water view mansions.

I made an animated gif comparing the best possible zoning map we can implement (Alternative 5) and Mayor Harrell's proposed plan. In short, Harrell undermined what would have been a transformative housing plan, betraying everyday Seattleites and leaving us with scraps. #BruceHarrellTheHousingPeril

Ugh. What’s dangerous is not having treatment or a place to go for people experiencing a serious mental health crisis. People who need help are already our neighbors and have no where to go. We aren’t “attracting” anyone.

Okay, here we go with the debate and votes for Seattle's surveillance expansion. CM Kettle is saying last year's surveillance bills were "Seattle" bills that aren't standard. The audience is booing and saying "Shame."

Here in Seattle real estate execs and lobbyists are the top donors to Harrell’s corporate PAC. They are terrified that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social will end their monopoly and bring rents down.

The best way to cope with a dark timeline, is satire. Highly recommend this workshop. Here are some of the headlines our members have submitted to be written up and published by The Needljng 🧵

“Once surveillance data is collected, it is notoriously challenging to protect against federal misuse…Department of Homeland Security and ICE have successfully accessed data from the Washington Healthcare Authority and the Washington Department of Licensing. Seattle should not line up to be next.”

NEW: As first reported by The Burner, the City made a new Tik Tok account almost exclusively featuring Harrell the day polling showed he was toast. Seattle Ethics Czar dismissed a complaint about electioneering, but the SEEC will discuss the issue Oct. 1. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/ethics-...

Congestion pricing in downtown Seattle could fill the shortfall.

An Amazon software engineer spent 4 weeks in jail this summer due to Seattle Police faulty interpretation of surveillance video and credit card transaction data.

Seattleites love their summers, but it’s a little more complicated for parents. What if we had universal summer care for all children in Seattle? This isn’t a pie in the sky idea. We can make Seattle a great place for working families.

ICE Arrests Firefighters Caught Attempting to Murder Wildfire: tinyurl.com/255zs4c5

Earlier this week, the City’s Office of Labor Standards got a huge victory for workers. In a statement, Mayor Bruce Harrell was effusive in his support for OLS and workers’ rights. Let’s look back at a few of his other interactions with the department in recent years.

Washington fire crews - already operating with fewer resources after the State Legislature cut $60m from its Wildfire Response Account this year - are now suffering border patrol raids. We all lose when local austerity echoes authoritarianism. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

gosh, maybe now city officials will be more skeptical when Uber claims they're broke and can't afford to pay their drivers Seattle's full minimum wage? no? www.geekwire.com/2025/uber-to...

it's good!

Harrell’s core constituency is wealthy, white owners of waterfront mansions. Visualization: @weill.org

PUBLICOLA: When we asked Joe Mallahan, a candidate to the right of Wilson whose votes would theoretically go to Harrell, if asked if he was voting for Harrell, he responded “fuck no” and said he’s supporting Wilson.

Harrell Fared Worst In Southeast Seattle District He Once Represented on City Council Challenger Katie Wilson bested the incumbent mayor in most parts of the city, but the vote gap was most pronounced on Harrell's home turf. publicola.com/2025/08/18/h...

It’s hard to believe that it’s been less than two weeks since Seattle voters rejected the status quo and made clear that they support our vision for a more affordable, democratic Seattle. Hear why they chose Katie in their own words.
