You have to send this link to everyone you know who voted I Seattle: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... It takes like 30 seconds to make sure your vote was counted. Folks on here have all seen this probably, but your friends and family might not have!

From advocacy to acquisition: Seattle's social housing movement enters a new phase - International Examiner Two years after Seattle voters created the nation’s first social housing developer through a citizen initiative (I-135), the movement is reaching crucial milestones as it prepares for its first major ...

I have been on my phone all day. Don’t tell my boss! Lol

Hey, asking as someone who until recently was an editor at USA TODAY: What the fuck is this?

The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces As Americans increasingly get their news from online shows and streamers, the influence of this media ecosystem becomes more prominent — and Media Matters has found that the most popular of this conte...

A new study from @mmfa.bsky.social reaches the obvious conclusion: "The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces"

This is, IMO, the single greatest threat to the left in the US, and the one to which it is most blind.

Packed house in Benaroya Hall last night to listen to Ta-Nehisi Coates!

It was such a privilege to listen to this dialogue on highlighting the importance of narrative as a tether between person & place, challenging myths of US nationalism, and the deeply personal & liberatory work of writing.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.

She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.

Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.

I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

Facts 👏

Congratulations to all of the organizers and volunteers with @houseourneighbors.bsky.social on a blowout victory tonight for Prop 1A! 💛🥳

Let’s build social housing, Seattle!

This is what happens when you don’t focus on your local politics. Shady things happening with the Seattle city council. The mayor too. Billionaires are spending a lot of money on influencing Seattle politics. And certain members of your local government are team billionaire. #seattle #wa

Don’t forget to vote [something more left-leaning] in November!

Attended the wonderful @deanspade.bsky.social’s book release of “Love in a F*cked Up World” last night at Elliott Bay.

I’ve seen organizing spaces fall apart because of our messy relationships with one another. Dean’s book provides another tool for us to study and practice. Thank you! 💛🙏

Week 1 at the County ✅

Got to write our MLK Proclamation, which was presented at the annual celebration last night.

Turning my sights towards implementing the County’s Human and Civil Rights Commission next.

So excited to be hitting the ground running with such a supportive team 💪

Aw I’m glad you got to see your agency represented. It was really touching seeing so many buses, even from outside the county and even the state.

I do! Let me know how to send it to you.

Thank you @tammymorales.bsky.social for your incredible leadership these past five years, both on snd off the dais. And thanks for the new mug 😄

If you're against adding housing supply because you don't think it will produce affordable housing, just wait until you hear what not adding supply does to housing affordability.

Had a blast knocking on doors in south Seattle for Prop 1A with @tammymorales.bsky.social 🏘️

Ballots drop in a few weeks and the election is February 11th.

Always surprised how many folk on social media are unaware that highly visible women online regularly get threatened w/ rape and other violence. Happens to every woman w/ a substantial following I know, has for a decade regardless of platform. And no, authorities don’t care and that’s no solution.

Literally same. One of the most frustrating constituent issues we’ve worked on for sure.

I think it comes out tomorrow!

Thank you all for this op-ed.

Tammy Morales’ Resignation Exposes a Pattern of Institutional Abuse Against Southeast Seattle Elected Officials When Seattle City Council Member Tammy Morales announced her resignation last Wednesday, Southeast Seattle did not just lose a longtime, battle-tested representative—we are once again being punished…

Tammy has been a superstar councilor and an incredible partner for young people in her district. When we heard that she was resigning, we were distraught. When we heard why, we were enraged.

We helped write an op-ed detailing why.
