I spent 5 months investigating bogus reckless driving charges the Seattle Police Department hit me with on Mayday 2026
I'm finally ready to deconstruct the retaliatory policing, and prove how many at the city knew there was no crime to charge me with in the first place

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.
PNW resident recounts Israeli settler brutalization of Palestinian olive farmers in Jamma’in
by Hannah Saunders The olive harvest season kicked-off earlier than usual this year, and four solidarity activists who were supporting Palestinian farmers in Jamma'in were deported and returned with…
The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people.
I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate.
I make my case here.
The Reddit comments about my video in one of the Seattle subs remind me why I stopped posting on Reddit
Communities filled with people who will spend hours scrolling Reddit farming karma, picking fights, and complaining, but never time to actually watch the fucking video

Delivering papers for The Columbian in my hometown of Vancouver WA was my first ‘real job’, almost 30 years ago
Since then I’ve also experienced targeted attacks for supporting trans rights, and it’s shameful for The Columbian to participate in this vile culture war by doxxing trans kids
According to the Seattle Times Seattle can’t enforce parking rules because the police want a slush fund/thing to point to when asked how they are saving money? So why did we move parking enforcement from SDOT back to SPD? Maybe we should rethink that.

A major point of my video is to show that what happened to me is a consequence of systemic failures of police accountability in Seattle
One of the primary Officers in my arrest is named Dane Hagen, who was also part of a crew that covered up an attempted hit and run on an unhoused person in 2019

One of the observations I hope spreads through the Seattle community, is what SPD's Police Outreach Engagement Team (POET) and Community Response Group (CRG) actually are
POET = 🥕
CRG = 🚲🏏
POET will attempt to assimilate you, and if you fall out of line CRG will beat you back into submission

Since I finally got my camera back, I can show you how obvious it was that SPD lied about my friend 'Eluding', and how they used violent tactics to try to take me down too
This was obviously illegal policing of first amendment protected activity, which my lawyer throughly established
Dropping a 2-hour expose this morning, which is the culmination of an over 5-month long investigation, showing the extremely rampant biased and retaliatory policing done by the Seattle Police department

After police abuses, this is the threat I am terrified of on the horizon: Exploitation of the half-baked, highly vulnerable, extremely powerful surveillance and automation state that America is becoming, by hackers OR rogue AI
wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known.
I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.
I would love to be hopeful, would love to say that bloodless change is coming. I want saftey for people I love. I've worked hard building something im really proud of in my professional life and would like to not have it crash with everything else. How do you fix a system this irrevocably broken.
Wild that dipshit Portland Nazi Ryan Armacher, who posts lame AI shit every time I embarrass his homies, was able to shape an entire news cycle about the Texas senate race
It's such a condemnation of the modern media environment, and society, that rightwing extremists can make a living this way
Let's be clear: King County Detective Shawn Peckham is not a misogynist.
A group of women simply conspired to kick him off an Alaska Airlines flight for elbowing a flight attendant and calling her a "bitch."
But he swears he loves his mama, his daughter—and his ex-wife
I feel like a broken record but if you think polyamory is what you need then read my fucking article
If you are Adam Conover however then I think Vivian Wilson didn't bully you hard enough
I think you can learn a lot about the moderate political program in Seattle and WA more generally by reading this gish gallop from political consultant Eileen Pollet.
In case you missed it, in a (now deleted) comment on @sharethecities.bsky.social insta, I was told to make my own website if I didn’t like theirs. Now that I have finally gotten the attention of the anonymous folks at @leftycheatsheet.bsky.social@sharethecities.bsky.social, I have some questions!

DivestSPD needs help buying a new (old) computer to automate data collection. We ran our old one until it literally busted open (see pic).
Unlike SPD we're good custodians of the people's money. We found a refurbbed one for $200.

In less than 2 years America deployed secret police, concentration camps, mass surveillance for local PD's via camera/drone/data brokers, and criminalization of extremely foundational concepts like creating zines
We can't afford 2 more years of corruption and liberal fecklessness, we need to fight
In Paris, the uprising continues. On October 18, masses of people once again took to the streets.
Crowds gathered at Place de la République and in the surrounding streets, erecting barricades as police deployed large amounts of tear gas. 🧵
With cops desperate to keep hitting arrest numbers, the situation in the streets is getting fucking dire
This is why people who use mtorcycles, e-bikes, and bicycle riders are getting shaken down everywhere
Cops are making it unsafe to exist anywhere outside in our communities
Together, we can defeat these dangerous initiatives that put our kids at greater risk of harm.
Vote NO on I-001 & I-638 when your ballot arrives. #NoHateWAState
This is an example of the type of glaring vulnerabilities that exist in the Seattle surveillance system, that SPD has lied about, and politicians are ignoring, as they demand MORE COPS MORE COPS MORE COPS
Every unaccountable cop is just another massive risk of violence to everyone in the community
Savannah police officer shared her Flock login with her husband, an ICE officer. License plate reader data will continue to be used for immigration enforcement and other purposes unless we decide to stop mass surveillance.

MAGA chud, and SPDs favorite informant Jonathan Choe, is out at the No Kings March downtown at Westlake today
Watch out for his butterfingered former Seattle police officer bodyguard, Adley Shepherd, who physically attacks people at events, and can’t hold his gun

Literally the same crew of thin-skinned, violent meatheads that arrested me for charges that didn’t stick
I got a huge l follow up to this video coming out soon, naming names, because we gotta fire these deranged criminals stealing so much money from the community

Seattle police lieutenant Matthew Didier, caught on camera telling his fellow officers “We’re here to fuck people up” before SPD threw protesters to the ground and arrested them at an anti-trans rally last year, has been disciplined—with a verbal reprimand.
Caleb Howard has been an SPD officer for over a decade, and extracted more than a million dollars from the City of Seattle without even living in the same county
If he wasn't a cop, he'd be behind bars for constant physical violence he's inflicted on and off the clock
@divestspd.bsky.social
I think anyone who sees the slogan “protect the dolls” as offensive admits to being someone who wants trans people dead and should be treated accordingly.
Never forget. Defunding never happened. SPD had their feelers hurt and have been on wildcat strike for years.
Centrist pols and the police union have used these hurt feelings as a cudgel to hurt legitimate attempts to reform policing in the city.
Get cops off Tiktok and back to doing their jobs.
The mayor has proposed increasing SPD's budget by $68 million, on top of the additional $4 million or so SPD is getting from the year-end supplemental due to overspending this year. This would fund Bruce Harrell's and SPD's hiring goal of 1,250 officers.
Lol, Council provisoed about $2.1M for 2026 to encourage SPD to hire parking enforcement officers. SPD didn't do it but they want the money anyway. They also want $2.1M for the extra overtime they'll use and $1.8M extra for a bunch of other stuff.
In this morning's council meeting, Bob Kettle said "inflation" was an impact on costs "across all labor agreements," not just the police department's. Just to bring us back to reality, the new contract gave officers a 42% pay increase across 5 years, which is far above inflation.
Despite Seattle's reputation as a trans haven, the University of Washington has reacted to escalating attacks on trans rights with silence — even after a trans student was murdered.
But trans academic workers, unionized with UAW, are fighting back.

Let's revisit their ten-point plan and how it holds up today
The core of the problem with Seattle public safety is that it’s largely been handed to an institution, in the Seattle police Department, who cares nothing about the safety of the community
SPD wants money, power, and influence to support its staff of mostly white men, who live outside of Seattle
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson answered questions Tuesday about gun violence, outstanding investigations in which police still haven’t made arrests, and polling that shows a growing sense of insecurity among Seattleites when it comes to public safety.
Future Congresswoman Darializa Avila Chevalier is brutally assaulted by the NYPD while protesting an ICE shooting.
Without hesitation, she gets right back up to defend her community. Most politicians would never.
ERO ONE agents will [do a type of] analysis that involves researching not only a target, but also every other person to whom they’re connected, including household members, family members, friends, acquaintances, or the person with whom they carpool to work.

Yo does the @mayor.seattle.gov not have time to stop by and maybe say something positive about a local business that’s being targeted by a buncha racist scammers working for the Feds?
Does this business not matter becuase it’s not downtown? Do you not care about racism in your community? 🦗🦗🦗
Shirley & Kruze and other professional righty liars don't care how many lives they destroy—unless they are non-white lives, in which case it's as many as possible. The only SNAP fraud attempted here was by Shirley. And it failed.
Can't wait for my local Lam's to open in Rainier Valley.
This dudes out there debunking this shit on his own, trying to spread the word and counter these narratives that are putting everyone at Lam’s safety at risk
Cops and cameras don’t help them, so your public safety program is incomplete if you’re not doing something about this on racist violence
