Just after midnight last night, a 30 year old man riding a bike southbound on Aurora at 97th was hit by a driver in a hit-and-run. He was transported to Harborview in serious condition. spdblotter.seattle.gov/2026/09/29/h...

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

There’s a man in ICE custody with a bullet in his neck who was shot in front of his 5 year old. We’re boycotting Target, you should too.

5/X Most excess fertilizers polluting our waterways come from residential lawns. Most tire dust comes from the excessive amount of cars on the roads. Most of the blockages to fish passage are due to roadway culverts. Excessive sprawl is the main fish killer, not cutting down a few trees in Seattle.

Unfortunately, @transportation.seattle.gov needs to face up to the fact that, if it wants to achieve Vision Zero, we can't have multi-lane streets anymore. One in each direction, plus a bus lane, is the maximum that can be made safe.

In SDOT’s Aurora planning study, they call this a “walkable boulevard.” 🙃

This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Stop by Lynnwood Transit Center today before 5pm to see Bluebell, a 1959 GMC New Look bus that was part of the original Community Transit fleet.

Michael Smith@mesmith35673.bsky.social

Happy 50th anniversary to Community Transit! The agency began with just seven routes and 500 daily passengers on October 4, 1976. Since then, it has expanded to serve 30,000 passengers every weekday across 34 routes.

In the 1980s, WA State Rep Cal Anderson heard cops were hassling people in gay bars, so he went when cops were there & dared them to give him trouble. They backed down. Not as high-stakes as standing against tear gas, but still the kind of leadership we're entitled to demand from elected officials.

On the buses to Fishaqua (Issaquah) for Salmon Days! If all 30+ people on the bus+shuttle drove their own cars instead, it would shed 25000mg extra of tire particulates into the watershed

Thinking about the Milwaukee Road tonight. We could have had an electrified mountain railroad from Seattle and Tacoma probably all the way to Chicago, if it wasn’t poorly managed.

A sentence like this appears in every one of these articles: "Sure I object to everything Trump has ever done, but on the other hand I also disagree with some things about Democrats I made up."

This should be the final straw for people. This is insane. I deleted facebook and instagram a long time ago for privacy concerns, but this is next level. We truly live in a scam economy and we should demand the heads of tech execs. Not just for this obviously, this is just an addition thing.

The New York Times has now run two prominently placed stories about Zohran Mamdani's comms department coordinating with unpaid influencers as if it is a huge scandal. Will they cover Trump using our tax dollars to buy literal campaign ads as if it is equivalent scandalous? If not why not?

Alex Pretti was shot and killed 8 months ago today after being disarmed by federal agents. The agents then spent the next few hours denying the BCA and MPD access to the scene while shooting at protesters. No one has been held responsible in the killing. chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

Another one of trumps incomprehensible takes thats makes me laugh. Its almost like saying: the health insurance industry is too good at taking money from people. Theyre making too much money, so we’re kicking people off the insurance. This will save these healthy americans millions of dollars.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

Its like when he impulsively responded to a mass shooting and said that we should just take the guns away. He momentarily understood the negative externalities at hand but forgot his own putrid “ideology”.

Theyre so desperate to find fraud to justify their crusade against minorities its pathetic. Fuck these rancid ghouls. As if the insurance system we have is so good at helping people in need.

learn to identify your ideological enemies. your neighbors who buy everything online do more direct harm to the city than any random crank who is rotting away on facebook complaining about parking.

We banned rental junk fees! Starting July 1st, 2027, the price you see is the price you pay — no pet rent, no admin fees, no lease renewal fees. Step by step, we’re building an affordable Seattle. Thanks to City Attorney Evans and Councilmember Foster, and to the Stay Housed, Stay Healthy Coalition!

this is what the segments would look like on a left-wing fox news right now - should trump be impeached over gas prices? - a count of the number of times he said the strait was opened - hegseths obsession with erect penis and hairless bodies - another gas price segment - silly animals

The type of thing that NIMBYs do that drives me up the wall. Historic Preservation has been weaponised against not just growth, but change of almost any kind. The kind of change they like is probably like adding more parking or something.

New Yorkers should know whether the apartment they’re looking at is real. That’s why we’re working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI. Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

nytimes.comIs That Fireplace Real or A.I.?Listing sites are littered with homes with fake fireplaces, improved views and virtual landscaping, raising false advertising concerns.

Hasan Piker said America’s War on Terror death toll makes it “worse than al-Qaeda.” The outrage machine went into overdrive. But his comments about America’s history of causing mass civilian deaths are objectively true. Even Trump agrees. So why is Piker being cancelled? zeteo.com/p/hasan-pike...

The fact that Musk himself is sponsoring so many of the anti-trans ads this cycle presents a pretty golden opportunity for Dems to point out that of course the guy who literally wants to build a gas-powered data center in your backyard wants this election to be about trans people.
