If they don’t want me call for abolition of ICE, they should stop handcuffing people to hospital beds without charging them.
A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.
ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.
A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Cancelling safe streets projects that were fully designed and paid for isn’t enough, the Harrell also needs to remove a bus a short while AFTER is was built? Time for change, vote @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social
Confirmed: SDOT will be removing the bus only lane on E Union Street this weekend, ceding this part of the $130 million RapidRide G project back to general purpose traffic in response to requests from nearby property owners.

I made an animated gif comparing the best possible zoning map we can implement (Alternative 5) and Mayor Harrell's proposed plan.
