NEW: After weeks of community organizers defending the Black Lives Memorial Garden from its impending removal, email records show the Mayor made the final call to destroy it
So, is Cathy Moore going to establish her licensed brothels before or after she starts targeting sex workers with anti-loitering laws?
The mayor and council members including Maritza Rivera and Sara Nelson are trying to keep city and gig workers' wages low (to improve the city's cost of living somehow???). They should instead focus on what's *really* making Seattle expensive, housing. thestranger.com/labor/2024/04/…
Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center and Kelley-Ross Pharmacy developed a new informed-consent gender-affirming hormone therapy program for adult patients. Its creators see it as a novel solution designed for the community that could address a problem with bridge care. thestranger.com/queer/2024/04/…
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…
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.

Doing this and leaving the mural is actually extremely on brand for Seattle. They love empty symbolism in lieu of making any meaningful change.

The WA GOP is being so funny right now
@TheStranger @hannahkrieg Uber's lobbyist group Drive Forward has consistently made the claim that a few bike couriers making less money is proof of the law being "broken". The council has decided to run with this narrative and are ignoring the far greater number of drivers who say they're doing better.
Seattle's new council members frame themselves a "pragmatic" lawmakers who dig into "nuance," unlike the ideologues of yore, but for SOME REASON they haven't taken that approach with the gig worker minimum wage. thestranger.com/news/2024/04/1…

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
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.

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…
Are we allowed to call her a Republican yet
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.
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.
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.
This is a textbook case for recusal.
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.
Remember when she called herself a pragmatic progressive and now she’s arresting public commenters, rolling back min wage, opposing democracy (even year elex), calling for the national guard to Seattle, waiving in the appointment of her colleague who lost, & was bought by SHG…
Nelson calls herself a "pragmatist." She doesn't want to wait because people can't pay rent right now...
No… it’s the lack of funding and progressive revenue
Council Member Maritza Rivera blames union wages and e-books for Seattle Public Library closures. thestranger.com/news/2024/04/2…
