So frustrating to see UFCW using awful environmental laws to block an affordable, majority employee owned grocery store from moving into a vacant building in an area that really, really could use it. www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

Azmazing live skeeting tonight's meeting!

Come on, Senate, get this done! CORNER STORES FOR EVERYONE!!!

I am at Block Table to see the new superintendent do a q and a with local politico Sandeep Kaushik!

Third(?) year in a row for my favorite Republican sponsored bill, CORNER STORES, please let this be the year I just want coffee shops. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...

NEW: Julie Letchner writes about SPS interim superintendent Fred Podesta and assistant superintendent Kurt Buttleman's public presentation earlier this week on enrollment and budget:

As a tree person somewhat embarrassed by my company, I would LOVE to see this!!!

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS VOTE EXCLUSIVELY THE STRANGER BALLOT. Vote for Clark over Smith for School Board. Clark has stuck her neck out over and over again publicly in a way that has over and over changed SPS policy. She knows the issues, has an excellent head start, and is a former SPS student.

@thebethocracy.bsky.social Here's a spreadsheet that show every high school already has 30-minute lunch. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Big news: Seattle school board member Sarah Clark comes out against a dumb district proposal to split HS lunches. Students are headed to district offices right now to protest. Clark was also the first board member to oppose last year’s closure plan. I’m strongly supporting her reelection!

For SPS Board Primary, vote Vivian Song, Sarah Clark, and Joe Mizrahi. medium.com/@awongawong/...

Once again this week the Seattle Times gets a school board endorsement right, backing @joemiz.bsky.social, just days after they also correctly endorsed Sarah Clark (@sarahforschools.bsky.social). If only they'd also gotten the other seat right and endorsed @viviansong.bsky.social. But you can!

City of Seattle seeks teens age 13-19 to serve on the Seattle Youth Commission https://frontporch.seattle.gov/2025/06/30/city-of-seattle-seeks-teens-age-13-19-to-serve-on-the-seattle-youth-commission/

I don’t always write letters to the editor. But when I do, it’s because Liza Rankin has done immense damage to our public schools. We need change. That’s why I’m backing @sarahforschools.bsky.social @joemiz.bsky.social and @viviansong.bsky.social for school board!

Ok I’m not a huge Sawant fan but credit here, this is amazing.

New traffic patterns/street closure/school street at Washington Middle School after the death of a student walking on the sidewalk to recess. This is the first I've seen these specific School Street signs! Glad to see SPS and SDOT putting student safety first. www.kiro7.com/news/local/s...

Right on point editorial from Seattle Times today. Glad to see some ink on SPS, vote better this fall, Seattle! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/how-...

The field of school board candidates is set. Myself and other progressive parents are backing @sarahforschools.bsky.social, @joemiz.bsky.social, and @viviansong.bsky.social. Together they will fight to stop closures from returning, provide fiscal oversight, and stop undemocratic decisionmaking. 🧵

Op-Ed: Seattle Public Schools Enrollment Practices Starve Schools and Harm Students www.theurbanist.org/2025/05/08/o...

Just got nearly run over and then yelled at by a biker on the Burke for walking, my fave. 😠

This is great news. We need Vivian Song back on the school board to help provide fiscal oversight, restore public trust in SPS, stop closures, and provide high quality learning for all kids.

Exciting news! Yowza look at those endorsements. And I love the logo. joe4schools.com

And yet, the rationale for waitlisting is "equity" and addressing privilege. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Southend Families Deserve School Choice. #LiftTheWaitlists

So sorry to hear this about Frank Chopp, lion of affordable housing and amazing supporter of Apple Health. So Important for Washington’s children, RIP, Speaker.

SO sad about neighborhood stores, and I don’t understand why the amendment to notify parents of sexual assault accusations didn’t go on the HB 1296 aside from both of these being GOP in origin. Can D’s either find a way to take credit or just let them have these? These should be easy wins.

Pleasepleasepleaseplease

YYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS BRING IT ON!!!!

Restraint and isolation day- big deal

Good points about the capital levy (Proposition 2 for SPS) by some SPS parents. This is a tough one. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/we-w...

Please don’t let Liz Lovelett torpedo this amazing bill this time! Corner stores!!!! This will be truly wonderful. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Woo schools, would love more pro schools city councilmembers; the city could be doing so much more to support them!

Yimby Queen Sara Nelson strikes again!

Corner stores!!! CORNER STORES!!!!!!!

Parent Albert Wong writes a great op-ed calling for resignations on the board. He brought receipts: www.seattletimes.com/opinion/been...

Peggi Fu, SPS parent, including North Beach. Reject plans for creating mega elementary schools in BEX Levy. Can't do this more. Didn't proactively plan for big schools, no transparency in BEX V. Select right location, redraw boundaries. Engaged with NB 5 years ago would have embraced it. 🔥

Board meeting time! Come for the info, stay for the snarks.

Rally to Save Schools at John Stanford Center now.

Let’s make a better school district, Seattle! We can do this. I’ll be there!

This is amazing. We are so lucky to have such a talented pool of parents!

Definitely we should only worry because they are “untrained.”

Beth live skeeting over here, an sofg type training- sofg is what’s at issue in the newly filed recall, so could have some interesting parts. (Not yet though)

Come on.

Not a huge surprise to watchers here, but new poll out

This from @rianwatt.bsky.social and Kamau Chege is spot on, showing how @alexis4seattle.bsky.social won by reclaiming public safety, taking it seriously while also espousing sensible solutions

Ok if you all are going to be over here I guess I will try it, but I won’t LIKE it. I’m already on the internet too much!
