I would love to see Saka record a video tour of all the curbs he wants removed. Really sell it.

They didn't endorse, but they also didn't seem to work against her. They had an incompatible point between their platforms, and that's fine.

I think it's worthwhile to see the points on which we align across the left and focus on those rather than drag each other over small slights.

I am a DSA member and also a volunteer for Katie's campaign. I was out through the weekend and yesterday curing ballots for the campaign.

I can only speak for myself, but I think it's understandable for people and orgs to draw their own lines without expecting ideological purity in either direction

We are all very excited about this over here!

Seattle mayor-elect (almost) Katie Wilson, welcome to The War on Cars.

We decided to vote for you in the primary after your wife knocked on our door.

Woohoo! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social now leads the Seattle mayor's race by 91 votes!

Fuck off. A great way to achieve this goal is to simply not throw your constituents under the bus. You want to win elections in November, then stop doing stupid shit like this.

Remove Schumer.

His message sounds a lot like "hey, we'll never win if people hold us accountable for our actions!"

And so great to hear Mamdani defend the trans community and so many of the types of people Democrats think we need to throw under the bus to win.

Weโ€™ve all got our preferences, and I can imagine this being annoying in the opposite way for you and others.

๐Ÿคท I live in Seattle with two kids - for my family the clock itself has been largely irrelevant compared with the disruption of the time change.

Harrell Campaign Paid a Consultant $5,000 a Week for "Outreach and Engagement," Won't Say Why - PubliCola By Erica C. Barnett Mayor Bruce Harrellโ€™s campaign finance filings for October include an unusual series of five $5,000 payments,โ€ฆ


This is why we need to vote out corruption. ๐Ÿ‘‡

This is why Seattle canโ€™t move forwardโ€ฆ.itโ€™s the constant shady sh*t that our Mayor Bruce Harrell is saturated in - itโ€™s his playbook instead of competent calm leadership.

VOTE KATIE WILSON

Coming from the software side of this - writing is thinking. If we hand of the writing, we short-circuit our ability to think through what weโ€™re building or trying to communicate. It makes NO sense unless we have nothing of substance to communicate.

This is like when the city partnered with Zillow on housing issues. The solution has nothing to do with the problem. We have known ways to solve these problems โ€“ diverting funds to tech firms is not one of them.

Decades of cops being allowed to lie about traffic crashes, arrests, etc. with impunity โ€” and often having those lies laundered through the press โ€” have brought us to this moment where even when ICE agents are on camera they still think they can create their own reality.

Itโ€™s happening because Americans refuse to hit the streets to stop it. They have ball games to go to or watch on TV, movies to see and restaurants to dine in. Itโ€™s happening because people refuse to surround these NAZIS by the thousands and millions. Donโ€™t give a fuck but they will when itโ€™s them!!

As the parent of two current SPS students I absolutely do NOT want cops in our schools. Itโ€™s security theatre with a side-effect of criminalizing childhood.

These 40 or so on-street spots aren't doing much for the neighborhood.

I would love to see the parking removed through here. There's plenty of parking on side streets, and it would open things up for bike lanes, and make sidewalk dining SO much more pleasant. The cars also operate to obscure crossings. There's a corner lot on California and Edmunds that's always empty.

Reposting this in a more constructive matter to simply point out that people who have vocally expressed clear white supremacist, transphobic, sexist, racist, and generally nazistic views, such as David Heinemeier Hansson, are not and never will be internally consistent and operate on cowardice.

Great! We love our heat Mitsubishi pump! The air handler slotted right into where our furnace had been, and the heat pump is right how side the house. The system keeps our house warm through the coldest days of winter and cool through summer.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social I just cannot emphasize enough how poorly your endorsement of Harrell comes across, and how thoroughly uninformed it shows you to be on Seattle politics and the broader progressive movement here.
