On the one hand, excited for the Seahawks but also people are being murdered in the streets by our federal government.

Go Hawks, but more importantly Abolish ICE. Keeping my fingers crossed that some NFL players also speak out.

We have growing economic inequality and one of the most upside-down tax codes in the country, where our lowest income residents pay the most and wealthy individuals and corporations fail to pay their fair share. HB 2100 is so needed. Thank you @organizewithshaun.bsky.social for this bill!!!

This is what it looks like when an entire community is living in terror.

They are snatching people off the street, solely based on skin color and ethnicity. Demanding “papers” and proof of citizenship. And then detaining people anyway, including citizens. It is unconstitutional, immoral and antithetical to the values we claim to espouse.

Tree Action Seattle wants to preserve one of the most environmentally destructive forms of land use human beings have ever invented - sprawling car centric single family lots with a few random trees scattered around and lots of invasive plants and pavement. They’d rather kids die than drive less.

ICE is tearing families apart, detaining people regardless of immigration status, often targeting people based on race and language. District 2, Seattle's most racially diverse district, has already seen an uptick of activity by ICE and other federal officers. Eddie Lin SEATTLE CITY COUNCILMEMBER

Let me be clear, ICE is not welcome in Seattle. We don't want you here. As we see in Minneapolis, your lawless activity is not only threatening individuals and their families but the physical safety of all our residents. Eddie Lin SEATTLE CITY COUNCILMEMBER

Yesterday’s killing of Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good proves the dangers of Trump’s campaign of terror via ICE across our country.

ICE officers appear to not only be acting with impunity, but the explicit approval and support of the president and his administration.

Councilmembers Rinck, Foster, and Lin pose smiling inside City Hall.

From fighting for workers to defending immigrant rights and expanding housing for families, we’ve got big priorities for Seattle. Honored to work alongside Councilmember Foster and @councilmember-amr.bsky.social.

At his very first council briefing, Eddie Lin is pushing to amend Seattle's draft state legislative agenda to include a stronger push for new progressive revenue sources.

Today, I am feeling so much gratitude to so many people: family, friends, and colleagues new and old. But I am especially thankful for everyone who is fighting the good fight to make our city and our world better and more just. We’re in this together. #ThisIsYourCity

“Scott’s bill would create the “Well Washington Fund” to backfill what the federal government takes away. Absent proactive measures by the Legislature, thousands of residents will face greater food insecurity, less access to health care and higher costs for education, Scott said.”

We are so proud of the nearly 70% of the vote we received. Thank you, District 2!

Whether you contributed vouchers, knocked doors, made a donation, or spread the word to your friends and neighbors — this win is our win and shows what is possible when we come together as a community.

🫣😆 so exciting!!

It wasn’t just Auburn. 18. 18 agencies across the state. You think that’s a coincidence? Those cameras need to go. Any elected official voting for and defending a surveillance police state should never be trusted. #flock #policestate #secretpolice #nazis #ICE #washingtonstate #acab

Amazon enjoys an estimated $11 BILLION in state and local subsidies, largely based on expectations of job creation.

Leaked documents show Amazon is working to automate 75% of the companies operations, eliminating 600,000 workers.

Starbucks layoffs keep rolling in. Here's how Seattle-area workers are hit Starbucks' workforce in the Seattle area is hit hard with layoffs amid restructuring and store closures.

Starbucks is laying off employees and refusing to finish bargaining a contract with its union which Sbux has dragged on for years. Meanwhile it’s CEO got paid around $100M last year, which is 6,666 times the average salary for a barista (around $15K).

I recently toured the Turina James building and was really impressed with Purpose Dignity Action’s programming. They treat clients with dignity and individualized care and it’s changing lives. They also do “after care”, continuing to provide services for around 12 months once someone is housed.

Learned that ORCA cards can carry a negative balance! I was even able to make a transfer. Got to refill my card after reaching my destination. Thank you @kingcountymetro.bsky.social 🙏🏼

Seattle residents report encampments in record numbers More than 50,000 reports of homeless camping were made in the first eight months of this year, a 66% increase compared to the same time period last year.

There is so much cruelty in this story. Seattle should be a city of compassion and care. This is not an acceptable way to treat people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Apropos of a new version of this story going around again this week, I reported WAY BACK IN 2023 that Harrell promised to build 2,000 units of shelter in his first year and didn't deliver, saying at the time that he just meant he would "identify" them. publicola.com/2023/01/04/h...

Eddie’s CM here — Can confirm Eddie actually loves and raves about Jefferson Park often 😆

Eddie Lin Jefferson Park is my favorite for various reasons. It’s my neighborhood park and I love how the City put a lid on the reservoir to make better use of the space. The view of downtown and SODO/West Seattle is amazing, and I appreciate how the park has something for almost everyone: tennis courts, community center, skate park, open spaces and fields, driving range and lawn bowling, basketball court, great playgrounds and splash park for kids, and even the Beacon Food Forest. At any given time, you’ll see kids on the playground, families walking their dogs, and high school tennis teams. I also love that it’s a place for community gatherings, like the Beacon Hill festival in June, free movies and music in the park, and a place where people come together for birthdays, celebrations and so many other activities. Adonis Ducksworth Judkins Park – Super fun skatepark!

District 2 candidates answering what their favorite park is a pretty great distillation of the two candidates' styles.

So disappointed!!! Come on folks. These neighborhood centers are great places for adding density. We say we care about housing costs and homelessness, climate change and trees and businesses, and then we repeat the same mistakes!! Exclusionary zoning is a root cause of so many of our problems.

OPCD did extensive outreach across the city, holding meetings and doing neighborhood walks and doing virtual town halls and taking THOUSANDS of comments from people across the city, but some people didn't like the outcome. That's what happened.

Uses of the funds: double the size of the CARE alternative responder team; expand fire's post-overdose team; more funding for LEAD and DESC; more money to CARE as well for dispatchers etc.; a tiny bit for new firefighter recruits.

Nelson seems to have dropped off the call without notice so now there are just seven voting, and Rivera's amendment (which is so hot-off-the-presses that it isn't online for the general public to read) passes.

D2 voters who find this absurd: Adonis Ducksworth—when asked for a ‘practical solution’ to the housing crisis—(no kidding) said “using AI.”
He’s Harell‘s man, through and through.
