It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving-to-planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff. Op-ed: www.theurbanist.org/2025/02/22/o...

My latest for @publicola.bsky.social on the high rate of deaths in custody at SCORE, inadequate medical care, and filthy conditions at the jail was six months in the making. “If they can’t get it to a point where there’s accountability and people stop dying, then [SCORE] just needs to be shut down.”

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

SB 5408 would gut pay transparency and give corporations a loophole to continue concealing wages + perpetuating pay inequities. Contact your state senator today to vote no… workers shouldn’t have to advocate for the fair wages they deserve! Thanks for the coverage @ronpdavis.bsky.social

SPD had the largest attendance of any police department at Jan 6 so this doesn’t bode well for peaceful protesting in Seattle. One small positive is that Hollingsworth actually listened to D3 constituents for once and went against the majority.

I want to highlight what I believe is a significant document that I reviewed for this story. It's a memorandum of understanding between DOGE & CFPB. In all the coverage of DOGE's takeover of agencies I haven't read or heard about a document like this. I think this stands out 1/
