r/SeattleWA decided to waive the racism rule to give people a “holiday treat” of being overtly racist towards Romani people and the thread is full of the most Hitlerian commentary on them I’ve ever seen, and the only antiracist opposition comments are downvoted to hell www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/...

“The thing that’s been the most difficult so far is that, in all of our interactions with the government, they’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them.”

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.

the number of times I’ve seen the county decline to felony prosecute the most extreme and injurious violence against vulnerable women caught on camera, including with a deadly weapon (probably because the victim is poor) but this man insists all resources should be shifted to his petty theft
A Seattle Times editorial board member had his $3,500 bike stolen, immediately called the King County Prosecutor's Office (because his bike is so expensive, "it's a felony," he noted), then concluded that police need to spend more of their time tracking down bikes stolen and used by homeless people.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

by keeping coca, an Indigenous plant medicine used by Andean peoples since time immemorial, in Schedule I of the UN Single Convention, the WHO has both flouted scientific evidence and the rights of Indigenous peoples

instead it has chosen to side with a racially motivated decision from 60 years ago
WHO upholds coca leaf ban, defying evidence and ignoring Indigenous rights
Despite clear evidence and contravening Indigenous rights, WHO recommends the harshest scheduling for the coca leaf, upholding racist and colonial underpinnings of its ban.

She has tweeted (all negatively) about Mamdani 8 times in the past 4 days.

Seattle used to fund so much transit service until covid (and jenny durkan)

In 2019, almost 75% of the city lived within walking distance of a bus every 10 mins or better. Today, it's only like 50%!

Time to get the buses running again!
