If only Seattle were actually the radical communist stronghold that every Fox News grandpa imagines it to be. The mainstream of Seattle of politics is a milquetoast “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” centrism servile to real estate, tourism and business generally.

nows a great time to ponder what we plan to do about a system that empowers an *extremely* small percentage of the population to choose representatives for a city of 730k+. depending on turnout, our CMs will be chosen by <20k ppl in each district. its kinda laughably horrifying

This Barbie isn’t going anywhere, Seattle!

Last night was great, SHOUT TO THE TEAM! I lost what little hope I had for electoral politics this year but looking forward to continuing the real work of improving our city. The council will be getting a lot more conservative and we'll need radical action to keep us safe 💪🏾LFG!

Reminder: the #ServicesNotSweeps rally is TODAY at noon at Seattle City Hall! Join us in calling on the city to protect our unhoused neighbors by banning sweeps during the winter and extreme weather events! ❄️🥶🔥🥵 See you there!

TODAY!! Food will be provided 👀
