Can someone explain to me why she'll face off against Harrell at all, didn't he lose the primary? Or is it that the top two (regardless of party) advance? I don't get our primary system at all.

Front and back

Katie Wilson is over 50% in Friday's progressive-leaning ballot drop. She has won the primary election decisively over incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, who trails by 8.4 points.

Police investigating deadly motorcycle crash in Seattle Detectives are investigating a deadly motorcycle crash in Seattle’s Brighton neighborhood.

The latest victim of Bruce Harrell's inaction on Rainier Ave was a motorcyclist who was killed at Rainier Avenue South and South Willow Street.

We need quieter sirens and dimmer lights on Seattle’s new emergency vehicles. So ear-splittingly loud as a pedestrian that my watch warns about it, and so blindingly bright I see spots for minutes afterwards. It’s out of hand.

YouTube just served me an obviously AI-generated ad using a deepfake Tom Hanks to sell a questionable pharmaceutical

How... are we going to reel this in?

Analysis: Meet the new national police force | CNN Politics The agency of mask-wearing officers who aren’t afraid to smash windows, detain lawmakers, and pluck nonviolent undocumented immigrants off the street is about to become the best-funded federal police ...

cnn editor: u got that story on ice?

cnn reporter: sure did boss, real fuckin hypernormalized, just like u asked

cnn editor: first of all, i love it

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Washington State Patrol just sent a public safety alert with a link to Twitter, what the fuck? Turning that “feature” right off.

@typewriteralley.bsky.social how do we get SDOT to remove the old and now wrong bike light that turns green signaling for cyclists (really: tourist on scooters) to enter the wrong way down the Pike Street uphill bike lane at Melrose/Minor? I’ve emailed every city alias I could and get zero replies.

1000% correct. If this is what they're doing to a US Senator and a City Comptroller in front of TV cameras...

This AP photo is unreal.

This isn't going to work. If the bus bridge is coming twice an hour, then the 48 should be the actual bus bridge.

The thing about bicycle weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard is that they are a beloved institution that has near unanimous support, but instead of investing real money to make them safe and activated, Bruce Harrell has instead spent all of the money on outreach to appease ~8 highway advocates.

This is unacceptable. We can do better.

Scary times, thinking of my friends and everyone in St Paul and Minnesota

It's almost like the cops are rioting

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Hot take: the driver of the car should be charged instead

I agree. Anywhere these exist there should actually just be a stop sign, and stopping for those signs should be enforced rigorously.

A world with clean indoor air, improved vaccines, free tests and masks, contact tracing, and COVID “weather alerts” when transmission rates are high & resulting mask mandates…

All of this was & is entirely possible, but the people at the top & their flunkies said no & people too eagerly complied.

Hell no.

E.P.A. Plans to Shut Down the Energy Star Program

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

Oo I like the lights!

And I’m so happy for that.

G-Line “Headway Check Point” operator alert is up at Madison and Boren. Definitely also just watched two bussed drive by next to each other.

But I'm a Cheerleader reunion 🥰

“The contract sets Constantine’s base salary at the low-end of the listed range — $450,000 — but a lucrative six-figure benefits package bumps his total compensation toward the high-end range by his second year.”

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ ). The post reads: "Federal immigration authorities detained a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University. The government hasn’t filed any charges against Rumeysa Ozturk, who was in the U.S. on a student visa, her lawyer said. Read more: on.wsj.com/3E3AM0b." Below the text, there is an image showing a person in a hoodie detaining another person in a white coat and headscarf outside an apartment, with a car and another person in a cap nearby. The image caption reads: "off-campus apartment."

This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.
