this is your city under mayor-elect katie wilson

this is what climate leadership looks like

Katie Wilson, 43, is poised to become Seattle’s next mayor after overtaking incumbent Bruce Harrell by about 1,300 votes in one of the city’s tightest races on record. A longtime organizer, Wilson co-founded the Transit Riders Union, a grassroots group that campaigns for affordable transit, higher corporate taxes, and stronger renter protections. She ran on an ambitious plan to build 4,000 new shelter units and expand non-police public safety programs. If her lead holds, Seattle Times reporter David Kroman writes Wilson would become Seattle’s most progressive mayor in over a decade, and a sharp break from the city’s centrist establishment.

I’m pretty sure “Zohran being a nice normal mayor” is the thing they were actually afraid of

it's funny how much the NY Post fear mongered about Zohran and he's just being a normie demsoc mayor

Katie Wilson's win, plus the massive margins of victory for three progressive City Council candidates (just one incumbent) and a progressive City Attorney candidate suggest an overwhelming mandate for bold policy initiatives on housing and public safety. Let's go, Seattle!

Seattle Times headline, "Katie Wilson likely to be Seattle's next mayor"

The Stranger: "Katie Wilson is likely our next mayor"

Seattle media, tonight, is going as close as possible to saying Katie Wilson won the mayoral race — without phrasing it as entirely final. (Which is all very defensible at this stage.)

Seattle is shaping up to be the left's second big mayoral win, a sort of West Coast companion to NYC.

Seattle I knew you were down

I've seen enough.

Congratulations, Mayor-elect Katie Wilson!

One of my hospice patients told me that on the ship that took him to fight in WWII he hated to sleep below bc it smelled. So he crept on deck & slept on bags of cargo. He said there were more stars than black. He said they reflected off the water. He said it was dazzling.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Well, at least everyone suffered for nothing.

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie]

SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.

"The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy" www.npr.org/2025/11/06/n...

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

"As of November 5th, it estimated that USAID's dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children." www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

They are turning guys who voted for Rahm Emanuel twice into the Weather Underground

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I think maybe people want to vote for good people?

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

in honor of his heroic choice to help Cuomo go down in flames i vote we continue to allow Sliwa to wear his very funny beret

Mamdani: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

MAMDANI: "So hear this, Donald Trump: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit
