hope you all are having a very productive atmospheric river #Seattle

this useless walking cadaver should be at home tweezing stray white hairs off the tip of his nose while AOC chairs Oversight

Today's DOOM LOOP for @soseaemerald.bsky.social: "Incentives" See the whole thing here: southseattleemerald.org/voices/2025/...

The next JOKETELLERS UNION is this Wednesday! We've been doing comedy illegally for years! clockoutlounge.com/tm-event/clo...

Was really disappointed to see Girmay Zahilay touting this prick's endorsement (Girmay also endorsed Rob Saka, so maybe he's done with the "be an actual progressive" phase of his political career)

Just a few months ago these 2 clowns thought the smooth move was to signal that they're "looking for opportunities" and ready to "cut deals" and "collaborate" with the Trump admin. Astonishing lack of foresight or even just good commmon sense. What kind of "deals" did they think they'd be making?

i think it's probable Ann Davison doesn't even make the general, ffs she's being sued by the ACLU and has like a 30% win rate

gotta say his cover story sounds like a load of bullshit but ok

Here in WA Gov Ferguson is vacillating between tough talk to Trump and defunding the AG office that will be doing the actual litigation against Trump in his own DOGE-like pursuit of fiscal austerity

Comedy iz hard. Leave it to the pros, Bruce mynorthwest.com/jason-rantz/...

TIRED: Blame Olympia! WIRED: Damn, Olympia!

"Those are Tanya Woo numbers" is a line that will live with me for years and turn into one of those weird jokes that like 10 people in the basement of city hall chuckle about in a decade. Thanks @bretthamil.bsky.social! southseattleemerald.org/voices/2025/...

gotta admit it's pretty cool that a campaign that commissioned me to draw a illo of Blocky, Housey, and Curby won by 26 points. (Also "Make the bad people choke on their lies" is an evergreen campaign slogan imo)

I dropped some of my comix off at @phoenixcomics.bsky.social on Broadway, the first 3 issues of BALD KNOB plus a copy of MANATEE COVE. Grab em! #CapitolHill

"It's unfortunate that we were not able to get any accountability or changes as part of this last contract." Let this be the first of many candidates to point out that council gave out 23% raises w/out asking for a single iota of accountability in return www.thestranger.com/news/2025/02...

Big L for Wallingford and NIMBY creeps in general

did Bruce mention this in his state of the city speech or is it just implied

and still lost by 17 points! Precisely why Sara Nelson doesn't want even year elections!

I believe that like Prop 1A, even year elections would win by 25%. Seeing the Seattle Times oppose it with this weak-ass argument ("the ballot would be too long for the stupid plebs!") confirms my belief. Even-year elections for local office would change the electoral calculus of this city INSTANTLY

"Aftermath" ft. Bruce Harrell, Sara Nelson, Martiza Rivera and HOUSEY

with voters *overwhelmingly* backing funding for social housing it's a good time to ask 1. why did the mayor have all references to social housing removed from the comp plan? 2. why is social housing illegal in 80% of city's land area in the mayor's comp plan?

"Aftermath" ft. Bruce Harrell, Sara Nelson, Martiza Rivera and HOUSEY

Prime Minister Trudeau, the people of occupied Lower British Columbia cry out for liberation. We cannot even afford egg for our families. Please send your elite mountie shock troops and free us from the yankee oppressors. (1/2)

10 people signed on just now! We could wrap this up TODAY if 40 more ppl jump aboard. Donate $10 then fill out the form!(Everyone will get their actual Democracy Vouchers--$100 in FREE GOVT CAMPAIGN FINDING--in the mail later this month. it's pretty cool)
