Is the public banishment of Rep Stevens worse than if a union member crossed a picket line there? Why is group think considered an asset, particularly when it looks more like power and control? America thrives with diversity of thought not punishment and clamp down for deviation. This should be concerning no matter which, or no, party one prefers.
Washington
Public
Disclosure
Commission
Does she actually say at 2:24 when referring to Rs “changing campaign finance laws…”? Has she seen what the WA Public Disclosure Commission randomly did here Oct 23? Announced the sudden suspension of enforcement of some pre-election limits, which obviously has opened a floodgate of campaign money. PDC Commissioners are appointed by the Gov (all Ds last 40+ yrs) and state senate confirmed and no more than 3 of the 5 can be affiliated with same political party. Policy over party.
DSA
If the Downtown Seattle Association’s own survey shows most businesses don’t see hope that the ultra costly, overly regulated, not tackling the real policy issues landscape won’t change, why would you want to cozy up to the other DSA (Dem socialists) adjacent mayor on homelessness plans...? Business’ own advocates aren’t calling out the truth so it wouldn’t inspire people to stay. businessclimate.seattlechamb…

@AaronLevine_ I agree with Tim and that’s my read also from listening to Silver.

SOAP: Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution nonprofit Seattle Chapter launch. In Seattle it’s also a law known as Stay Out of Area of Prostitution to exclude buyers and traffickers of commercial sex.
Seattle is #2 in the US for sex trafficked youth. Today The SOAP Project, Seattle Chapter launched at the epicenter of sex trafficking along Aurora. Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution, national non profit, takes community to motels and other commercial locations to educate about how to identify a trafficked person, help line phone numbers and missing children poster. The More We Love local nonprofit joined us as a safe place to get someone out of being trafficked.
There's a new version of this post
Join us Aug 22 kickoff of The SOAP Project Seattle Chapter.

Not rocket science but I still don’t know why Seattle hadn’t built out progression steps towards more self sufficiency post treatment. (Maybe b/c policies don’t push to treatment enough.) So we’re doing it & my former Sonics co-worker is joining too @therealvinbaker 16 yrs sober.

Another way to view this is: those in power can prevent politically unconnected, low power people wanting to run for office, e.g., to use the most accessible way to get their word out: social media. It effectively disenfranchises candidates etc & helps incumbents or those with $.
I filed this case when I was Attorney General and won in the lower courts, so gratifying to see this result. As AG, I led the nation in bringing cases to enforce our state’s campaign finance laws. This victory represents the largest campaign finance penalty anywhere in the United States— ever. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

Last night ~ 300 people joined together to march, standing up against sex traffickers, buyers and associated gunfire in the neighborhoods in North Seattle. Probably some pimps saw the organized event and what it was for. Let’s keep them on notice and take back the neighborhoods.
