My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The city? I assumed county because they handle so much of the rest of transit.

@girmayzahilay.bsky.social why is the monorail private? Can we change that? Sure, they only have 2 stops, but they're a vital connection to the Seattle Center and it's nuts that they can just opt out of the system like this.

SAM Registration Government Impersonation Scam SAM Registration Government Official Impersonation Scam........

Probably because based in Clearwater.
Scam seems to be by a fella named Omid Khodadoost who also bought a thousand 5* reviews on Google.
Got a flat F from BBB and got on the shit list of a group of auditors www.projectauditors.com/Papers/SAM_r...
I reported them to Google to try to get them unlisted

It's a different tax, replacing property tax. Tax only the value of the land, not the structures built on it. In a revenue-neutral tax swap, this means a big increase of tax on e.g. surface parking lots in the inner city, and a big decrease in cost for apartments in the same location.

Yup! Taxing the borrowing as income with progressive brackets needs to happen as well!

We must tax realized gains as income too. Can eliminate corporate taxes as they become superfluous. Use the increased revenue to set lower income tax brackets to negative.

I'm not so sure about that. He swept the field early with all the big endorsements. Going head-to-head with Mallahan I'm pretty sure he'd have had it in the bag.

When you ask voters to choose between corporate profits and protecting our neighbors – it’s not even close. This year, Seattle voters chose the tax corporations to fund social housing (63%) and to pass the Seattle Shield Initiative to protect our neighbors (71%). Let’s keep it going!

Good grief. I keep trying to convince people to use our light rail, but it's ALWAYS BROKEN. How do we have such an unreliable system?

Surely somewhere there's a tent large enough to fit Katie Wilson, but too small to fit Dick Cheney.

Everybody, get used to calling your senators. And your reps.

Get real comfortable with it.

We're going to be doing it A LOT.

Look up your reps at
