If we raise $1,147 a day every day through the end of 2024, we can reach our $50k goal!

@nullagent was attacked by a group of civilians at a protest 2 months ago, and has suffered from a concussion + depression as a result.

He'd love to sue the pants off those racist motherfuckers and push the "justice" system for criminal charges as well.

ChuffedSupport a Black Protester Assaulted while Defending Housing RightsAs inflation, price gouging, and skyrocketing home prices have affected the nation, the city of Seattle has become increasingly hostile to low-income and middle-class populations. Meanwhile, the City Council has been actively suppressing affordable housing measures—and, at the same time, pushing bills to criminalize the presence of unhoused people and sex workers in large swaths of the city. Black residents make up just 8% of Seattle, yet 25% of homeless individuals in the city are African-American.

Funniest moment during public comment was when someone said:

“If you are so concerned about women being bought maybe you should look over at [Councilmember] Tonya woo”

Which Tanya Woo is such a clown car of corruption and backdoor dealing I don't even know where to start but she's definitely the most bought woman in Seattle 🫠

Hello from outside #RochesterNY

Where #MonroeCounty #DistrictAttorney, #SandraDoorley, just made an entitled #Karen ass of herself over a #trafficstop, and it's getting national and international press

So embarrassing

She needs to resign. #Rochester #citycouncil unanimously decided to look into her behavior:

It would be nice to make national news for good people

Who do we have?

Taye Diggs!

OMG! Life imitating Art. Check out what #NYC #CityCouncil member Chris Marte had to say about #TheChildrensMagicalGarden winning their adverse possession claim to the garden. Read it alongside the penultimate page of #MayahsLot-my environmental justice graphic novel! Both speaking about a community group defeating developers to reclaim an abandoned lot for a park. Link to article and to Mayah's Lot in comments. #environmentaljustice #urbangreen #communitygardens #comics #comicart #writing

Image of the penultimate page of Mayah's Lot graphic novel. Shows the roots of an aspen grove merging into the crown of the trees, and interspersed with images of the community and the park. Text reads: -So you want to know what Environmental Justice is? -It's people coming together to improve their community, standing strong, finding a legal solution -Just like the roots of the aspen we're all tied together, Holding our cities or towns together.
mage of Lawyer Benjamin F. Burry and Kate-Temple West celebrating victory of Childrens Magical Garden and quoting CM Marte "One of the garden's victorious court arguments referred to the roots of the mulberry tree--that they are deep and long and extended throughout the disputed lot. He compared the strength of the tree's roots to the strength of the Lower East Side activists "so strong we're able to prevail"

_The Evening Post_, 29 Jan 1924:
                  THE COUNCIL’S HOLIDAY
                STAFF PICNIC AT DAY’S BAY
  With the weather at its very best, and the day's programme in the hands of a capable committee, the annual picnic of the City Council staff at Day’s Bay yesterday was most enjoyable. All told, about 650 adults and children took part, those present including officers from each department and Councillors Thompson, Aston, Chapman, Monteith, and Parton. Several ex-members of the staff were also present… [but] the Mayor (Mr. R. A. Wright) was unable to be present. Mr. J. G. MacKenzie was chairman of the Picnic Committee, Messrs. D. Scott and H. Tait acted as judges and starter, and Messrs. Short and Hunt looked after the youngsters’ sports events, “all prizes and no blanks” being the principle on which they carried out their duties. The results of the chief sports events were as follow:…

Tonight #Boulder #CityCouncil is discussing housing reform in the form of occupancy limits. City council meetings about housing policy are what first brought me to Twitter back in the day. I hope we can continue the tradition of side channel discussions about Boulder City Council meetings.

Thank you to everyone there speaking tonight!
