Cathy Moore quits Seattle Council. She wants to dish out the venom, but can’t tolerate scrutiny and oversight from discontented constituents.

Update - The council member, Cathy Moore, who proposed kneecapping our ethics code suddenly withdrew the bill earlier this week.
Avoid a likely raucous showdown in city hall next week.
It seems that the optics of deleting the conflict of interest parts of the ethics code is pretty unpopular.
So unpopular Bruce Harrell even threatened to veto it. It's likely Cathy Moore believed she couldn't get a veto proof majority so gave up.

There is still time to write to the council expressing opposition to this corruption. And definitely time to vote these people out of office.
“…the bill would have allowed the council's two landlords, Mark Solomon and Maritza Rivera, to vote on an upcoming Moore bill to roll back eviction protections passed by the previous council.”

This legislation SOAP/SODA zones, put forth by Cathy Moore (an ex-Native reservation Court judge) was strongly opposed.
None the less the city council rammed this legislature through.
And Mayor Bruce Harrell, whose up for re-election, happily signed off on this cop city bullshit.
They crushed public comment with massive police presences and violent arrests, with several public commentators still facing charges!

As we said months ago when the city council voted for this dragnet spy network, there are now people whose entire day and life will be on these cameras.
Each of these near neighborhood-wide deployments cover critical services and in some cases enough essential services that a person might be on camera everytime they leave home for years on end.

Cathy Moore, the person who wrote amendment 3, explains she wants the camera network to cover her entire district.
Sara Nelson thinks that's a wonderful idea and wishes the camera network would go all the way to the Aurora bridge ✨
Kathy mentions the only thing stopping them is the budget and she plans to raid that to expand the spy network asap.
Amendment three passes.

Tammy Morales, the lone holdout voted in line with the voters to just enact I-137.
Meanwhile Cathy Moore and Dan Strauss were not present for the vote!
Notably Cathy Moore has abstained from many I-137 delay votes.
It's giving "friend who says they're totally going to jump off the bridge with you ... but doesn't" energy. ✨
Meanwhile council president Sara Nelson was remote and handed MC-ship over to Joy Hollingsworth.

Then at 2pm the main showdown will begin, knee capping social housing.
One of the interesting marketing/get-out-thr-vote problems with the council's move is it changes how I-137 will appear on ballots. If they had not tried to make a sabotaged alternative it would just say "I-137" instead it will reas "Proposition 2" or something similar which is just enough friction to confuse a lot of voters.

I dipped out of the city council meeting to watch the I-137 community forum, was pretty obvious how this was gonna play out.
The council has passed the SODA/SOAP bills which makes looking like a homeless person, a sex worker, or drug user in Seattle a reason a cop can stop you.
You can be banned from neighborhoods and fined $5k for existing in the wrong places.

Right, so where's that leave us, folks who want tax money to maybe help people?
Come on down to the Seattle City Council meeting, Sept 17th, 2024, 2pm! ✨
We're probably gonna be fining homeless people $5k for existing instead of building housing, city council should probably hear from you. 📢
This one seems important, mark your calendar👇🏿

The demonstrators at city hall ask you to please take action and sign the Strippers Are Workers (SAW) letter to the city council opposing Seattle's stop and frisk laws.
Seattle previously had laws like this, and big surprise they were used against Black Americans, other people of color and queer+trans people at an alarming rate.

I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council.
During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town.
CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment.

I fell asleep while editing, but here's tonight's meeting.
Protesters were demanding that the council take up the issue of housing support for the migrant families.
Meanwhile the council had them removed from the chambers. After they were kicked out the protest continued.
Council Member Karen, I mean Cathy Moore, stops the debate to complain that she feels unsafe "they could break they glass and we could have violent mob in here!" and demands the protesters be arrested.
