Katie Wilson elected Seattle’s next mayor
Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Tonight, Senate Republicans — aided by eight Democrats — passed a funding bill that will raise healthcare premiums for millions of Americans and leave some families without health care at all.

Michael Mann to Bill Gates: You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

A federal judge said the USDA must use SNAP contingency funds to pay out benefits during the shutdown; however, it’s unclear how soon people will receive them or how much they’ll receive. If you need help with groceries, the County has a list of food pantries, programs and other resources.

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

I look at everything that Mamdani puts out, and it has the vibe of "We're awesome. Here's why. Everyone wants to be on our team."
Establishment Dems (and most leftist pundits) need to learn from this. No one cares why or how the other side is bad. They need to know how you're better.

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard.
Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.
I wonder how much food theft spikes with desperate people just trying to feed their families. I'm sure there will be a media panic about it.

2 days (today and tomorrow) left to tell city planners that you would rather they reduced liquid fuel storage in NW Portland than shrug in the face of the strong likelihood of the worst industrial disaster in US history
Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.
Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.
