kinda wild that the city council is having a whole-ass committee meeting (with five council members present) to listen to a bunch of guys in sonics outfits talk about why men's basketball good for city

A former volunteer on Wilson's campaign and staffer at the Washington Bus says young people "feel like these cameras criminalize our presence and make us feel like we are being punished for being and having public lives in Seattle."

In advance of a public safety committee meeting today, Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle put out a long press release about public "misconceptions" that are leading people to incorrectly oppose police surveillance, including automated license readers. It's extremely dost-protest-too-much!

The whole thread is instructive but Bob Kettle also misses the thing at the heart of complaints about cameras: people do not want their every move recorded as the price of existence in the public commons!

Sara Nelson. 2nd Former City Council Member/President, ... 7h Well hello there, I'm back! I've spent the last month and a half since returning to normal life reflecting on my time in office and envisioning a shift in Seattle's political climate that will support and advance pragmatic leaders and policy solutions in a sustainable way. Why? Because once a policy junkie, always a policy junkie. More to come...

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

WA Japanese Americans say history is repeating itself as they protest ICE

Demonstrators gathered outside King County International Airport to commemorate Day of Remembrance and protest ICE activity at the airport.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal.

Then we must show up in greater numbers.

BE UNGOVERNABLE.

I'm starting to think that maybe Epstein was murdered.

City Council Proposal Would Repeal Law That Allowed Housing Near Stadiums - PubliCola By Erica C. Barnett Seattle City Councilmember Eddie Lin will introduce legislation later this week to repeal a law that…

City Council Legislation Would Repeal Law Allowing Apartments Near Stadiums
Last year, a state hearings board ruled that the law was invalid. The city could appeal or attempt a fix, but there appears to be little appetite for either option.

Voter cheating, or electoral fraud, is extremely rare in the USA

Only 39 cases of voter fraud were ID'd in a recent election, a mere 0.000039% of over 100 million ballots cast

Disband ICE and give their budget to the IRS Criminal Investigation branch. Surging these guys in the Hamptons and Palm Beach would reap the greatest benefits for the American public of any law enforcement action.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

As @oavotes.bsky.social shares in their testimony in support of the Driver Privacy Act (House Bill 2332), Washington should join the growing list of states that are passing common-sense regulations for automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Our safety depends on it.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
