I don’t think that establishment understands how angry the electorate is becoming with them. Even after Seattle voters handed progressive candidates focused on good governance major wins in 2024 and 2025.

Seattle has its own vigilante group that will help you recover your stolen bike and I promise they were 100x more effective than the police and also sometimes the head lady tells you about her farm.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
