Find your way to the nearest drop box before it's TOO LATE- less than 17% of Seattle voters have returned their ballots 😱

Make sure to return your ballot before you go trick-or-treating tonight!

Today I'm calling on @governorferguson.bsky.social to declare a state of emergency: the expiration of SNAP benefits for nearly one million Washingtonians will be a disaster for the health of many, and for the economic health of the state. We must join other state governments and act swiftly.

We urge Councilmembers to stand with immigrant rights groups, civil rights advocates, and the city’s own Surveillance Advisory Working Group to reject the proposals…

The real question is how much lower Sara Nelson's vote share can possibly go? Can she get it under 30%? That's nearing GoodSpaceGuy territory.

Crystal Fincher @finchfrii.bsky.social · Sep 9

Looks like there were over 120 commenters about this, from every walk of life and corner of #Seattle.

The other times the council voted in opposition to a public comment turnout like this, their approval ratings (and vote %) decreased.

Are they going to do it again?

Amy Sundberg @amysundberg.bsky.social · Sep 9

One interesting thing about this public comment session is that, while there are representatives from orgs and nonprofits giving comment, there seem to be a lot of private individuals who are simply showing up because they're really concerned about increasing surveillance right now.
