Council President Sara Nelson interrupts speaker @colinokeefe as he calls on he to recuse herself from Pay Up discussions because Seattle Hospitality Group, which presumably would benefit from minimum wage rollback, just bought into Fremont Brewing, her business.
I want to be very clear that any time you read something with my name that makes you go "wait what" and it's happening in Seattle, you're dealing with bizarro Sara Nelson

Once you notice you can't unnotice: for probably the last decade or two, presidential interviews with entertainment figures, podcasters, groups of voters, or other randos ... are *far more substantive & informative* than "official" interviews with political journalists.
I wonder why the @SeattlePD can't recruit or retain officers even with giant signing bonuses and unlimited overtime to nap in your patrol car. It must be all the leftists chanting ACAB who are to blame 🙄 kuow.org/stories/seattl…
I love that the day after Politico reported on the New York Times’ whiny beef with Biden, he goes and does an interview with Howard Stern (in New York). Maybe the NYT should stop making Biden’s age front page news if they want an interview.
Adding: I guarantee that Biden's interview with Stern is going to be more informative on things voters actually care about than an NYT interview would be, for the simple reason that Stern is not part of the insular, fart-sniffing, self-dealing political media club.

What's Sara Nelson's mimimum wage repeal and why is she being so fucking weird about it? Genuine question on the second one lol thestranger.com/news/2024/04/2…
The common theme for this episode: corporations buying elections and policies to suit themselves.

Is anyone still pretending that any of these decisions are based on transit quality/public interest? These decisions are driven by the wants of a few connected businesses in backroom deals.

This is why SPD has a recruiting problem: people don’t want to work in a toxic environment like this.

An "oversupply of multifamily housing" is what Seattle should be aiming for in our Comp Plan update
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
Mark Mullet was censured (along with Guy Palumbo) by the Washington State Democratic central committee in 2019 for anti-union activities. He is a fake Democrat who has systematically undermined the party in #waleg for years. His whining here is absurd. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
both the right and left wing haters of Joe Biden really want imagery of cops cracking student skulls, because it feeds the left wing wrecker narrative of “Biden is a fascist” and the right wing narrative of “Biden’s America = Chaos” that scares normies

I believe @JamesFallows has actually written about this a few times.
When non-political people interview the president, they're actually eager to find out what he's doing & how it affects ordinary people. With political interviews, it's just an insular guild pursuing its own internal incentives, trying to get micro-scoops to win the morning.
Once you notice you can't unnotice: for probably the last decade or two, presidential interviews with entertainment figures, podcasters, groups of voters, or other randos ... are *far more substantive & informative* than "official" interviews with political journalists.
The best journalism film is "The Post," about the singular role played by The Washington Post - and no other paper - in releasing the Pentagon Papers.
Fall semester 2024 I am teaching a course I have not taught before. It's a seminar for First Year students at NYU. The title: "The figure of the journalist in Hollywood film." Feel free to send me your favorite journalism movies. Especially any you think I may not know about.
I'm not here to tell you everything is fine, but this is an incredibly unserious thing for the Seattle City Council president to say.
Hint: Mark Mullet is a DINO. He'll do just what Tim Sheldon did.
What kind of Democrat is Mark Mullet? ❌Voted against an abortion rights bill ❌Wants to repeal state climate action plan ❌Opposes taxing the rich to fund schools ❌Censured by state Dems for anti-union bills ❌Blocked a $4B affordable housing plan ❌Backed by corporate PACs
Is anyone still pretending that any of these decisions are based on transit quality/public interest? These decisions are driven by the wants of a few connected businesses in backroom deals.
The @SoundTransit board already spent big on shifting the station a bit north at the insistence of Amazon with essentially no fanfare. That $500M is a compounded cost of deferring to corporate interests over transit riders/the public.
council falling all over themselves to applaud a group that routinely fails the city is something that should be repeatedly highlighted in recall elections
Four women at SPD came forward to say that public affairs Lt John O'Neil has sexually harassed multiple woman officers, and Chief of Police Adrian Diaz has allowed the behavior while also harassing other woman. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…
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.
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.
@Hernando_206 exactly! This is such a dangerous message to the world & for people living in Washington. Instead of coming up with rational solutions, she’s asking for military presence!
@musingsofmonica On the one hand, they say "come downtown, you can revitalize downtown with your presence!" On the other hand, they say "we must call in the National Guard to fight the terrible, overwhelming crime!"
she is more unhinged than I thought, just when you think she couldn’t be worse — this is incredibly irresponsible & dangerous thing to say — she’s sending out wrong message to the world.
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.
If this were the case, Peter, why do we see an entire day dedicated to coverage of Biden's age after the Hur report, but Trump falling asleep at his own trial, or his lawyers declaring he can assassinate someone, not frontpage news for you? or the cause of multiple edtorials?
Agreed. I’ve never heard AG say anything like that nor anyone else at the @nytimes. It's just not the way it works. AG wants us to cover this president -- and every president -- as fully, fairly and aggressively as we can because that's our role. That's true regardless of whether…
both the right and left wing haters of Joe Biden really want imagery of cops cracking student skulls, because it feeds the left wing wrecker narrative of “Biden is a fascist” and the right wing narrative of “Biden’s America = Chaos” that scares normies
The right wing is frothing at the mouth at the prospect of major clashes between students and police. It will give them the "Biden's America is spiraling out of control" story they crave. The most important thing D mayors and governors can do is NOT give them that story.
Police have been radicalized into a fascist force. This right-wing drumbeat against protests is part of a campaign to silence anti-fascist Americans.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
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.
The universal police brutality against peaceful protesters--not just restricted to students, but now also faculty--should be a five-alarm fire.
Can City Council chill? Like this isn't funny lol
