It's kinda crazy that a bunch of Chicago pigs are embezzling millions from Seattle in a WFH scheme and city council is running cover for them

Today Mayor Katie Wilson announced she’s already fired Seattle’s next police chief after he somehow teargassed Capitol Hill, deleted public records, hired someone to have an affair on the job with, and threatened to fight a reporter all before 9 a.m.

Wonder where we should be building all the housing?

It irks me endlessly that we use “public safety” to mean policing and not traffic calming

jimothy is a psy op

We can feed everyone. We won't let politicians or anyone else get in our way.

WOW. New announcement from Seattle CMs Strauss, Hollingsworth, and Foster saying they will fund universal school meals starting in the fall after all by using the general fund. Hard to see this as anything but a realization of the high political price they paid for their votes yesterday.

Law must be abandoned because it is ignored by those in power, until they decide to leverage laws against their opponents.

Push The Needle@pushtheneedle.bsky.social · 2w ago

The city of Seattle seems to think they are above state law HB1110 (infill housing) Seattle tried to ban 6plexes by limiting floor area HB1293 (ending design review) Seattle past the deadline & still operates the program illegally HB1576 (landmarks reform) Seattle will miss the deadline to comply

The last day to apply was yesterday but we forgot to post about it here... So, we will extend it for another day. If you have an idea for a skill share, info dump, or fun group activity, put in a workshop application!!!

my NLG lawyer wants people to react to the stupid list by being unafraid. “Be courageous and have integrity.”

Meanwhile I'm tuned into the Issaquah Council which is also discussing Flock. It's clear Mayor Mark Mullet is trying to frame this meeting as just a "check in" but CMs are interested in discussing whether to ditch Flock.

If you're in Seattle, don't miss this event at Elliott Bay Book Company on Thursday (7/16): Theo Downes-Le Guin will be in conversation with author and editor Nisi Shawl about The Curve of the World, Vonda N. McIntyre's final novel, which was recently published by Aqueduct Press.

News & politicians are going to tell you, "Seattle had no homicides in June '26 because of our excellent police. It's working, give them more funding!" This is both wrong & clearly a narrative that 'defunding the police is the wrong direction.'

Evidence suggests that creating pedestrian zones in the city center prevents homicides!

Mhgreen3000@mhgreen3000.bsky.social · 4w ago

Seattle just had its first homicide-free June in 56 years. That's worth celebrating. But are we about to learn the wrong lesson? My latest column explores why the forces that kept people alive may be the ones we're least likely to see, and the most important to protect.

Evidence shows that PRIDE month should be all year long!

In April 2025, I asked anarchists to share their compass points—& made a zine. My dear friend @free.des.revol contributed a piece. Three months later, he was arrested. Two weeks ago, he received 30 years behind bars—for a zine. His words are here: kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/... @cindymilstein IG

Cops will swear up and down they only want drones for finding missing kids or whatever. When they talk among themselves and with tech vendors, they want to implement “Drone-first responders” with an eye towards a drone always being deployed first before a human.

We're thinking about the Prarieland Defendants today... Arrested 1 year ago for shooting off fireworks on the 4th of July.
