Suited Seattle sicario interested in city politics, unsavory history, and cats. 'EVERY SECOND COUNTS' he/him. Statements my own alone. Seattle, WAJoined May 2009
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it
they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting.
YIMBY policies work
In Mexico we have this saying in social movements that I think we can see today with students’ encampments: “They took so much from us that they took away our fear.” 🔥✨❤️🔥
I keep seeing “in Texas students fucked around and found out”
Y’all realize we won right? At 6pm on the nose (the end of the school day) the cops retreated, and we successfully had a calm teach in like was always planned.
WE won.
we shouldn't be afraid to call many local elected officials what they are: fascists, extremists, anti-democracy, etc.
to label them as "moderate" is a disservice. i've dealt with difficult electeds — this is pure evil.

Permits for new homes are declining for the the 2nd year in a row in WA (-25%) and metro Seattle (-36%).

One CM says let's call the national guard to patrol Seattle's streets. Another CM says let's pass new loitering laws while throwing police accountability to the winds. Meanwhile police are brutalizing college students all over the country. Tonight is feeling a little dystopian.
Commenter asks for a show of hands, asking how many people are renters. 15% of people raise their hand. Commenter says 67% of D7 are renters and this is not a representative town hall.
When you read about May 68, Tiananmen, Maidan, Wild Lily Movement, or things like that, the response is always that “something was wrong and had to do something about it.”
What’s less emphasized is that everyone who participated made a conscious choice and risked something.

Appears that SDOT painted over the words "no funds for genocide" and "Let Gaza Live" on the mural that Jewish advocates painted at @JVPSeattle's "Seder in The Streets" yesterday.
