Closing libraries, summer camps while promising six digit cop salaries

Apr 11, 2024

BREAKING: Seattle Public Library announced 1,500 hours of closures in the next eight weeks due to staffing shortages. Library workers, upset with the decision, say is a policy choice, not an inevitability to cut service. thestranger.com/news/2024/04/1…

This woman just said she's lived downtown a long time and she feels fine walking past homeless people and fear reckless drivers more.

The City Council just pitched subsidized housing for cops. In 2022, nearly 50 SPD patrol officers made more than $200,000. One officer made that much JUST in overtime. Shout out to @DivestSPD for crunching these numbers.

Nearly 50 Seattle patrol officers made over $200k last year

BREAKING: Governor Jay Inslee signed the Strippers' Bill of Rights this afternoon, officially repealing lewd conduct rules in bars and paving the way for Washington strip clubs to serve alcohol.

Blame the last decade of mismanagement by prior city council members. They were warned every year of the looming deficit.

She says she plans to introduce legislation to reinstate the loitering law, and says the sex workers on Aurora are "mostly minors" who have been "prostituted since they were children."

Wish the Seattle City Council would talk like the Visit Seattle website.

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

Two hours after a jury acquitted three Tacoma police officers of the murder of Manny Ellis, a crowd has gathered under his mural, calling again for justice.

BREAKING: Officer Kevin Dave fired from the Seattle Police Department per internal email. Dave hit and killed Jaahnavi Kandula in January 2023.

What the fuck is this framing? This makes it sound like Brian Heywood is some lone, sad man fighting for what he believes in. And not a libertarian multi millionaire hedge fund manager and Republican megadonor.

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

The Montana Legislature this session is dominated by "white christian-nationalists" who do not “give a damn about the constitution or what it says," said Jim Nelson, a former MT Supreme Court justice. thestranger.com/news/2023/04/2… #mtleg #mtpol
