This is a meaningful step forward.

This supplemental budget add means dollars can also be immediately deployed instead of waiting until our standard budget process in the fall.

Communities can’t wait and we must act now to protect our neighbors.

Cities big and small are abolishing parking minimums.

It’s exciting to see Denver join the movement. Will Seattle be next?

Thank you @alexis4seattle.bsky.social for leading the effort to create better places and more spaces for the people of Seattle!

Big news! The B&O tax realignment is going to Seattle voters this fall. It was watered down (read the article for details) but then we saw a progressive revenue proposal pass unanimously through this council, which I would have said was highly unlikely just a year ago.

New challenge:

Since we want corner stores everywhere (and not just on corners), what should we call them??

Share your ideas.

Mailer for Sara Nelsonβ€”who has done a lot of harm to Seattle. Most recently, Sara Nelson did not attend a committee meeting, seemingly to thwart confirming renters to the Renters’ Commission, after D5 resident and former CM sent her a 2:30 am email complaining that the confirmation was on the agenda. Actually, that does sound like the fix is in.

Someone’s fixing a lot of problems in Seattle? Someone sure is; her name is Alexis Mercedes Rinck! I can’t wait for Dionne Foster to join @alexis4seattle.bsky.social on the City Council! Let’s do this! Vote by Aug, 5!

Don’t let mega corps and real estate companies fix this election!

Seattle showed up today! πŸ’ͺ

While billionaires hoard wealth, we’re building movement power. While Trump attacks our communities, we’re fighting back together.

Tax the rich. Stop the raids. Protect reproductive healthcare access.

Our struggles are connected, and that’s why we must be indivisible.

Where do Seattle's political candidates get their bagels? Seattleites need to know: Where are our politicians getting their bagel fix?

It’s the creation of a brand new civil offense on top of the existing misdemeanor and felony offenses. Graffiti is already illegal and the CAO has legal tools to go after prolific taggers. We will spend more in SPD and CAO staff time than we will even recoup from this new $1,500 civil penalty.

A poster taped to a traffic light pole that lists five candidates endorsed by the 43rd District Democrats: Katie Wilson for Mayor, Erika Evans for City Attorney, Dionne Foster for Council Position 9, Alexis Mercedes Rinck for Council Position 8, and Joe Mizrahi for School Board Position 4.

Just did a little bit of postering in my precinct for our @43rddemocrats.org endorsed candidates. @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social @electerikaevans.bsky.social Dionne Foster, @alexis4seattle.bsky.social and @joemiz.bsky.social slapped these posters I designed around the 48 route and the G line.
