corporate grocery stores should have the same responsibility as taco bell and chipotle. Random testing of produce can help identify/prevent outbreaks.

The grocery store should label the food that has parasites. That way you know what you're getting. Could sell it at a discount too

@niluj.bsky.social We're going to improve the council THIS November! Hold strong @alexis4seattle.bsky.social and @cmeddielin.bsky.social !!!

Libraries are the backbone of community. 🫡

Libraries are many things to many people. I think they should be expanded with more community spaces. We live in an era with so few 3rd spaces that don't cost 15$ lattes, or meals at 20$. Great spaces for community to grow.

Thank you, Seattle voters! Proposition 1, the Seattle Library Levy, is currently passing with 72% of voters saying yes. Learn more about what this will fund at www.spl.org/2026Levy

"biggest players" = old/entrenched/wealthy

⬆️This and e*ection cheat sheet. Seattle never disappoints. 😂

Great work Mayor Wilson, thank you! And thanks to @alexis4seattle.bsky.social for her amendment, knowing shady landlords would try and find loopholes if given the chance. Her amendment gets us ahead of that! Thank you!

This is no "accident". Juarez wanted to get her little comment and be a jackass. She does this often "pretending" to go full boomer and not knowing she's off mute. Same for when says she "isn't on social media". Fucking highschool attitude. 👎

tell bob kettle he needs to smile more, and has he tried not being so emotional? 🙄

Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · yesterday

Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle had an emotional meltdown at a meeting this morning, calling Mayor Katie Wilson's decision to study police camera surveillance "unconscionable."

NIMBY science says the red paint creates a heat island hot enough to melt the city down into the earths core!

Let's go D5 we can improve the council this year! Vote!

AMR - Alexis Mercedes Rinck@alexis4seattle.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I’m endorsing Nilu Jenks @niluj.bsky.social, fellow @workingfamilies.org candidate because she’s committed to fighting for a future for all of us! Deeply rooted in D5, Nilu has been a champion for democracy and immigrant communities. She’s the colleague I want on council and deserves your support!

So if they wheel Mitch McConnell out tomorrow, and he sees his own shadow... Will he be "alive but recovering" for another few weeks? 🤔

The bill to ban rental junk fees in Seattle has passed out of committee and will move to full council on Aug. 11!

Good morning, Seattle! Here’s a little something for our transit riders to help with your morning commute:

Me and @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social at a recent No Hate In Washington State event!

⬆️THIS is proper government in action!!! Children have a right to FREE healthy meals, no matter income or school calendar. Thank you @mayor.seattle.gov !!!

In all things, be like Jimothy: -Roam Free -Eat garbage -Be different 🦝🦝🦝

@mayor.seattle.gov Any work on this soon? 🫡

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3d ago

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

@kuow.org @billradke.bsky.social Please have the station apologize to @ericacbarnett.bsky.social and @publicola.bsky.social For denigrating her hard work in local independent journalism.

JohnZ@fmbucky.bsky.social · 3d ago

I hope you get a personal and on air apology from Bill. My wife and I heard the show and yeah, it was clear to us they were talking about you and also that it was BS. On the plus side, I just signed up on Patreon to support PubliCola. I hope others do too.

Found it:

Shon Barnes came to Seattle hoping for an easy legacy—to be the guy who “rebuilt SPD”— and he was phoning it in. He was hiring nearly 4% of applicants, when other chiefs hired 2-3%. Last time a chief (Best) hired 4%, we got: * a sex pest * a fraudster * abusers * Kevin Dave

"Global Warming" "Climate Change" Just don't capture the magnitude of today's reality. Climate Devastation is the era we're now living. 😞

AMR - Alexis Mercedes Rinck@alexis4seattle.bsky.social · 3d ago

My heart is with our neighbors in Spokane this morning. Thank you to every responder who has been working to put out fires and help people get to safety.

Kettle, Juarez, Hollingsworth also seemed to have plenty of corporate news interviews lined up. Suspiciously timed, almost well planned... 🤔

🥕🥕🥕 Kaiser Kettle and his rabble don't want none of this! 😠

@mayor.seattle.gov Perfect way to be transparent going forward!

Braeden 🎣🦀🌲🦅@bvd100.bsky.social · 4d ago

Mayor Wilson should take a page out of Superintendent Shuldiner’s book and start writing weekly (or at least monthly) open letters to voters. She’s one of the best writers in the city, these would be must reads (Shuldiner’s are), and it would completely bypass the knives out media.

Meet Jimothy, the Seattle Raccoon Who Is Taking Over the Internet (Gift Article)

The stout raccoon, which has a spinal condition, is “an example to all of us that you don’t have to be perfect to be loved,” a Seattle City Council member said.

Nilu needs more of us to spread the word. I've been running into people in North Seattle who didn't even know the seat is open this election! 😬

🚨Chiefs have constantly failed over and over. The problem is clearly the selection process and the people involved. Mayor Wilson is cleaning up the mess of people like Kettle, Rivera, Hollingsworth et al.

Business Groups and "Neighborhood Councils" should have less say in our selection. Especially interest groups who get funding from public safety spending.
