Right. The thing about this is that, if a power only exists so long as you never use it, then it doesn't really exist
This is basically how the entire British state works lol (except they're all kind of up front about it)
On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution.
On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution.
On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

Exciting day in Kenmore, where we broke ground on the Sound Transit Stride S3 Bus Rapid Transit line, which will connect folks with reliable and frequent service to Link Light Rail, and BRT at 405!

And I have 13 years serving on my City Council, including 4+ yrs as Mayor. What's your point?
It seems willfully tone-deaf to me that @sightline.org sees progressive, pro-housing leaders like me and @masonthompson.bsky.social push back on this, and their response is to assert that they know better.
It should tell you something that some of your most pro-housing, Urbanist-endorsed local electeds are pushing back on this.
Housing is needed, desperately. But we need to balance that with the need to build and keep our downtowns and commercial spaces for the amenities that our residents demand.
This is amazing.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?
