Got word last night from comrades that six people who were arrested for protesting at Seattle City Hall in February of 2024 have all had their charges dropped!

As is typical Seattle City Council is working one some bullshit to destroy our ethics code 🤨
A large crowd of Kshama Sawant supporters are currently in attendance at this afternoon's council meeting. Many of whom worked to pass some of the housing reforms this major ethics code change will likely also make it legal to destroy.

Next Week Seattle City Council is expected to change the ethics code in an alarming way.
The are planning on deleting economic conflicts of interest as a reason council members would be required to recuse from a vote.
It would be a good week to consider attending a city council meeting or emailing your (likely very terrible) council person and tell them to stop being so fucking corrupt.

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.

I remember the day Sara Nelson and her conservative council responded to their overlords of the Seattle chamber of commerce to try and kill the people's initiative - https://www.tiktok.com/@theseattlechannel/video/7441008151677259054
5 months later and guess what, she looks like an embarrassing failure!
-
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.

Public comment is going now, only 2 inperson and 10 online.
Two commentators have brought up the fact SPD already has a massive budget surplus. For many years we've given and increased SPDs budget for wages. They keep failing to hit their recruiting targets and now have a multiyear budget surplus.
People are questioning why SPD doesn't return those funds or use their own existing budget for these programs.

They REALLY don't want people to know when they are debating terrible policies after how many people showed up for the last month of awful laws.
They left these off the agenda for today's committee meeting until the absolute last minute. At 3am on Sunday they amended the agenda hoping we wouldn't notice.
Ahhh the Seattle process ✨
Meeting today at 9:30am 👇🏿

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.

Ultimately Seattle city council advanced anti-homeless legislation and AGAIN illegally delayed Social Housing (I-137 certification).
Council did not put forth a replacement bill for I-137 and just decided to delay. (again, that's illegal lol). They even cited the fact they already were illegally delaying I-137 so no biggie if they continue to ignore the initiative process.
Tanya Woo reportedly wondered aloud "What IS social housing?" 🤦🏿

“[Previously] the city has clawed back funding …for empty jail beds and repurposed it for community-based health and housing programs. During the 2022 budget, the council voted…hold, on $3 million on jail beds it wasn't using, toward inflation on future jail beds or to other, non-jail purposes. Nelson voted against the amendment.”

Now typically I'd encourage you to email and call politicians to urge them to do the right thing and be less of a corrupt scum bag.
And it's cool and much appreciated if you do in this case... but Sara Nelson just kinda has a mean streak.
I generally expect her to dig in any time she's challenged.

Seattle Corruption.
Sara Nelson, local aspiring political train wreck, happens to own a bar and brewery called Fremont Brewing. She's in the middle of selling the brewery(likely in the multi-millions). Meanwhile she's not recusing herself from issues affecting the value of this recent and notably lucrative business deal.
Why's Sara a train wreck? Because she likes interrupting anyone who speaks against her by arresting them. Dude got off light tonight 😅
-
During the election, Sara Nelson was asked to finish the sentence "Drugs are ..."
She said, "FUN".
Look, I love beer. I even sometimes drank Fremont Brewing. But never again. This is just one of the countless anti-poor laws Sara has fought for.
-
What makes this entire shitshow 1000% more absurd is that the council member who started this bill (criminilaizing public drug use) is Sara Nelson. Owner of Fremont Brewing, one of the largest bars & brewery in Seattle. Which of course features tons of space for the public consumption of drugs.
But you see home owners drink beer publicly. That's OK. But if a homeless person does it? That's an offense that the cops can now be called over!
