Wilson's win means an end to heavy-handed corporate patronage in the mayor's office going back to 2013, a lineage running from the serial child predator who resigned in disgrace to the mayor who inherited all his donors & teargassed the city, to the guy who supported both of them to the bitter end

God it feels so good knowing @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social didn’t just beat Deadbeat-dad @bruceforseattle.bsky.social to become mayor of Seattle, she burned up over a million dollars of rich shitheads money while doing it

From the moment we met back in a July I never doubted that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social would crush the empty-suit @bruceforseattle.bsky.social if the people of Seattle got the opportunity to get to know her Two major cities in opposite corners of our country now have openly Socialist Mayors, W

Such a timely and important conversation with @adamconover.net @siridahl.com and Noelle Perdue — definitely a must watch!! 👏👏👏

You're right , it goes deeper. The barrel was DESIGNED this way. Powell Memo (1971) = corporate blueprint to capture both parties. DLC was Phase 2. Kaine was final DLC chair. Connects dots. Full story: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something. I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable. Let me show you why: #Healthcare #CorporateDemocrats 1/12

I guess I should also mention it is sex worker friendly housing, if you need a place to take incalls, and I'd be delighted to share my living space with someone else who is a sex worker since I may have to get back into that again to make my ends meet

Katie’s path to the Mayor’s office depends upon your ballot — and probably your friends’ and coworkers’, too! Track your ballot and fix any issues at the following links! Next, send these links to 10 friends and family to make sure Katie wins. #thisisyourcity

Eight months ago, Katie Wilson declared her intention to run and all the conventional powers-that-be said she didn't stand a chance of winning. Remember that we don't always know what is possible.

just learning about the united states democratic party

Democrats have become the Moderate-Conservative Party while the Republicans became Fascists The only electoral option that is worthwhile is a new Left party which adopts openly socialist policies, rhetoric, and embraces independent media/organizing/activists

Does anybody else think that the way we are all organizing to feed each other right now is laying the groundwork for massive labor strikes? This is another backlash effect the regime did not anticipate. We are building support systems and reconnecting as communities.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Thread. This is what a moral panic looks like.

So that makes at least 4 J6ers creeping on PDX ICE protests. Fulfer, David Medina, Katie Daviscourt & Quincey Franklin. It's been surreal watching them all code switch to calling anti-ICE protestors "insurrectionists" as soon as they realized it was the magic police state button.

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area. “We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

It's like every time a pathological liar tells you he gets to do something, too many of you just lay down and say, "OK I guess you get to do that." No. Our mantra is "Fuck you, make me." We do not cede the future to these fashy fucks. This is our future. Defend it, especially in your head.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

I really had doubts when @ryontheryse.bsky.social told me they were ‘Optimistic’ about Shon Barnes as SPD Chief, but he really did just unfuck a bunch of corrupt decisions that were gonna have massive downstream impacts to the queer community This is great, the W’s keep coming

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

I joked the Zines I got from the @seabookfair.bsky.social would be waived around someday when Feds crashed down my door; Well, here’s what it’s gonna look like These are direct attacks against 1st amendment trying to criminalize independent publishing

This is another perspective I think people need to see, to understand how the dark realities that lie underneath youtu.be/Aqd2Rk7f2xY?...

So disappointed is that I've been excluded from the opportunity to do a Jury Nullification because I've never been selected for Jury Duty 😭 That's how I know these MF's be monitoring all my shit

Great read. Especially the info about Seattle PD Chief firing people for pushing back on his insane surveillance tactics. Who the fuck hired this guy? 👀 #cascadia #pnw

A healthcare exec that was about to give some bullshit propaganda speech about fixing the whole healthcare system while our country falls apart, just had a heart-attack in the middle of the white house The lord works in mysterious ways

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway. To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

NEW: We reviewed federal prosecutions, local arrests, internal protest summaries by the Portland Police Bureau and more than 700 video clips posted to social media before Trump said he wanted to send the National Guard to the city. Here’s what we found.

Finishing up the day watching a pirated version of V for Vendeta Remember remember the fifth of November

UR's second exclusive video release related to MN's largest mass arrest was footage that provided a never-before-seen view of the powerful surveillance capabilities police spy planes possess as a State Patrol plane surveilled a protest after the arrests. unicornriot.ninja/2021/exclusi...

This is a great video by @jessiegender.bsky.social that is good perspective for anyone farther left than the Democratic Party to understand right now There’s a big block of Americans that are a ripe for bringing into the real movement against fascism youtu.be/XLjqNQB-SGw?...

This was an awesome breakdown of why filming is important for activists and the security culture around it. By @squidtips.bsky.social

WE, the people in this country who care for our friends, family’s, and neighbors, are gonna get through this difficult moment and build something awesome on the other side YOU, who have made a career dehumanizing innocent people for an easy buck, are in fact, fucked @camhigby.bsky.social

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

Just hanging out at the celebration for the next Mayor of Seattle @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social So fucking stoked!

This is how you build Cascadia or any other truly revolutionary movement; Provide people what they need when the Federal Government won't

Imagine not voting when you have people like @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social out there finally talking about real solutions to affordability and building up communities from the bottom, instead handing more of our tax money to cops and corporations

TOMORROW- The city will be hearing a new proposal to impose an impact fee on the detention center to ensure fair cost sharing to reduce burden on tax payers. Click the link here for more information and to submit personal testimony to be heard on this matter www.portland.gov/council/docu...

Washington residents who have not yet voted: Our Secretary of State and local election officials recommend returning your ballot to an official county drop box or in person at a voting center, rather than mailing in your ballot. Recent USPS changes could delay postmarking.

Anyway, trans rights!

It is wild how much physical violence 'Antifa' protesters have taken from these MAGA chuds at the ICE facility in Portland These are extremely commendable levels of restraint, but it's only a matter of time before one of these dudes explodes Why isn't PPB doing shit? Where is local news on this?
