This morning, Seattle Parks and Rec and SPD again threatened the Black Lives Memorial Garden in Cal Anderson Park with destruction, showing up with heavy machinery (see the tread marks below). About 50 community members showed up to successfully stop the demolition.

Stop Seattle Parks from destroying the Black Lives Memorial Garden!
It symbolizes a deep connection to this city's legacy of occupation protests led by poor & working-class queer people of color.

The 8 I’m on is having a glitch where the bell/announcement system doesn’t work so the bus driver is asking people to yell β€œnext stop” when their stop is coming up and he is announcing each stop over the intercom. It’s fun. A nice little freeze melter

Last week I wrote/researched this The Stranger πŸ—ž essay about a 1990’s land use fight that shaped Seattle forever.

We’re super lucky to have public libraries that make revisiting our shared past possible; maybe give it a read, but please support Seattle Public Library πŸ“š

The overwhelming silence from Seattleites on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians isn't surprising given our overall apolitical/conservative leanings but I certainly won't be joining in the 'business as usual' attitude towards genocide.
End the fucking occupation.

Cops are an easy answer to violence but not the right one.

If we want to stop unprovoked assaults like the hammer attack in Beacon Hill, we need to get people off the streets and into treatment.

We are out at Seattle University today talking to students about supporting Catapult NW workers who deliver to the campus, and why they deserve a fair contract with affordable healthcare.
