“Social housing will be very important to future growth of the CID, to bring more land into permanent public ownership and to make more units that working class people in the CID can afford...” said Chrissy Shimizu, ED for Puget Sound Sage. iexaminer.org/advocacy-acq...

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?

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.

First day! 🤓

Excited to join the King County Executive’s Office of Equity and Race and Social Justice as a Project Specialist ✏️

Last selfie with this team crossing the blue bridge!

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.
