I feel like people on Bluesky who have convinced themselves that the institutional Left in the United States is pro Trump and falling over backwards to credit Trump should have to reckon with the fact that the only Palestinian in Congress, and a DSA member, says (rightly) that the ceasefire is fake.

My ballot was counted this year, but in a previous election is was rejected and I had to fix it — just took a couple of minutes. Make sure yours was counted Seattle! info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

BREAKING: The Trump administration seeks an emergency pause to a court order demanding full November SNAP payments.

Yes, we can map who turned ballots in, but those are almost never the maps that are done because people want to analyze results. Instead, we get people rushing to put out a results map that leaves out half of the ballots and leads to bad conclusions. I rant about this every year.

Another major study adds to the evidence: road traffic isn’t just a source of air pollution, it’s one of the most toxic sources. The science is clear. Reducing traffic isn’t optional anymore, it’s essential for cleaner air, healthier cities, and a liveable future. https://bit.ly/4oTXR7U

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point: www.wired.com/story/mark-z...

i just called kelly and surprise, a human picked up! she was very nice. i told her about the insane insurance renewal bills my friend are getting and that they need to make republicans come to the table, not give in. we can't just let millions of people lose healthcare.

The past week+ has been really intense in Los Angeles. We need all of the help, support, & attention we can get. Feds are literally roving the streets snatch & grabbing vulnerable individuals. It's horrific. We need to do more.

Many are saying you should read Neither Settler Nor Native by Mahmood Mamdani

Always magical to see King County ballot sorting at work! This is in the mail-in/dropbox-only voting state of Washington.

My colleague spotted this today and all I have to say is this is a cult. That’s fucking religious propaganda.

One day after election day, Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes has fired Brian Maxey, SPD's COO, and chief counsel Becca Boatright. Per inside sources, Harrell told Barnes to wait until today. These are two very longtime civilian employees who've been shut out by Barnes, who brought in his own team.

i would say a crack has opened up in the centrist project and it is our duty to pound and pound until we drive a wedge deep enough to splinter it and toss it on the campfire

This totally applies to us East Asians too, and we would frequently tell feel-good stories of overcoming racism to find success in this country in a way that focus on our hard work and gloss over who did the heavy lifting to fight racism in this country and fight for civil rights for all.

Katie Wilson's parents send her money to help pay for their granddaughter's care. Bruce Harrell can't remember how many children he has, and once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman. Both candidates have complicated relationships with the youth.

DC does not have the guts to do what it needs to do to heritage foundation which is to socially ruin them. That’s the only language they understand

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has made 39 official announcements in the two months leading up to next week's election, compared to 21 for the same period last year. This is not considered a use of city resources for campaigning despite the very obvious ramp-up just before the election.

Seattle’s mayoral election will be decided by doors knocked. That means this weekend put on your most water proof clothes and knock on doors. This has regional implications. Even if you’re anywhere in King County this election will impact you. Please GOTV! Support @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social

Over on Insta - @joemallahan.bsky.social has a video that should disqualify Harrell from ever being in office again. We don't need someone who stands with abusers, time after time, and makes jokes to deflect responsibility for it. Vote for Katie Wilson

Final weekend to vote! Vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social , let's make the city affordable for people raising a family!

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Rep. Scott is right: 900,000 people in our state losing SNAP benefits is definitely an emergency. Image with alt text:

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Oh goody, another reason not to use A——n.

Where can lefties improve? I think knowledge about Christian nationalism is a big gap with progressives, lefties, socialists, etc. This is a problem because it means that people aren't always strategizing around the opposition we actually face. Here are my recs for self-ed 🧵

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles. Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

“their homeless board, which was created by a Cicero institute legislation…” Reminder that these homeless concentration camps are the brainchild of the Cicero Institute. Its founder is also the co-founder of Palantir.

Dachau began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility. Auschwitz began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility. Majdanek began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility.

As legal counsel, Harrell “recommended we launch a campaign to discredit the reputations of the accusers” of a senior staff member at a non profit providing services to low income Black ppl in the CD. 😳😖😬 I didn’t know about this and truly can’t believe it. This is unacceptable

Why is foam covering an entire block of streets in U Village? Did a tanker burst? Firefighting foam?

It’s even worse than this tho. If u care about salmon in our watershed, it’s the giant waterfront mansions lining Lake WA/Sammamish, Puget Sound w/ their armored shorelines & giant docks that are absolutely obliterating habitat & nursery grounds for baby salmon. Then those ppl drive everywhere, too😡

Hello 5.7 K followers— if you live in Seattle turn in your ballots for Katie Wilson early so they get counted on election night. She’s a - public bathrooms advocate - housing and shelter builder - transit champion - renter herself - coalition builider - labor rights defender

"embrace datacenters or face federal intervention" fucking called it

Mayor Bruce Harrell said of his opponent, Katie Wilson's, dogged advocacy for higher minimum wages in and around Seattle, that "she didn't pass anything—the council passed that!" The clear implication is that it's elected politicians, not grassroots activists, who actually do the real work./1

The first crack in the area’s suspension on new housing that relies on groundwater appears.

"Tuesday night at the Capitol Hill Community Council/First Hill Improvement Association Mayoral Debate, Harrell revealed his office is looking at removing more elements installed during construction of the $144 million RapidRide G line."

In Seattle every urban village has a highway or freight route running through the middle of it. It’s actually an absolute requirement for siting an urban village. Dangerous road oriented development. This costs lives & the ppl who push for this to continue are gonna rot in the deepest level of hell

Seattle this is you call to vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social because incumbent Bruce Harrell will also replace you with AI slop
