I'm watching the Fremont Neighborhood Council mayoral debate from earlier this week, and so far Bruce Harrell has said his opponent Katie Wilson "knows nothing about public safety," doesn't "understand that we have a {police] union contract," and "was a defunder" of the police.

If Harrell wins, we have no hope. He said so!
In his closing statement, Harrell said, "This is not the time for hope. Passion and great ideas and inexperience is just not going to get us there. Trump will walk all over a person without experience, period."

Why is Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell displacing so many homeless people?
While I can’t read his mind, the data suggests a clear pattern.

2nd serious #nonfiction book in awhile is What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia, by Elizabeth Catte. Catte doesn't just eviscerate J.D. Vance; she counters a long history of exploitative Poverty Porn & documents the powers that abuse the region & the people who stand against them. #booksky
