BIG NEWS: I’m running for King County Executive!

When my family fled persecution as refugees, King County embraced us, providing us the affordable public housing, quality public schools, and good jobs we needed to rebuild our lives.

Today, the very opportunities that helped me are out of reach for too many people.

I’m running for King County Executive to be a champion for working people and ensure every resident feels safe, has an affordable home, and has the opportunity to succeed.

I hope you’ll be one of my first donors by making a contribution of any amount here: https://t.co/YuyxC5lm08

lol public comment is already over. Holding public comment less than 24 hours after a huge document drops doesn't actually give much opportunity for working people to speak and give informed opinions

City Inside/Out is some of the best civic programming around, bar none. Very sad to see this and I hope the city council sees this differently.

Fact Check:

1) House Our Neighbors - not Tech 4 Housing - filed Initiative 137.

2) Councilmember Woo agreed weeks ago to attend the Social Housing candidate forum hosted by House Our Neighbors at the International District Chinatown Community Center yesterday.

“(Making it easier for people to vote from jail) increases public safety, it increases civic awareness, and it produces the best kind of electoral outcomes — where all eligible voters are able to be heard in our democracy.”

This story holds deep significance to many in our community because it highlights the ongoing struggle of the Duwamish people, who have been systematically denied their treaty rights and federal recognition.

Also… people who have apartments and homes do their drugs at home, not a bus stops and on public sidewalks.

The city council could’ve voted on a plan to fund social housing. They didn’t, so now it will go to a lower-turnout special election https://t.co/Vvd4QTHXKl

Crime underreporting allows folks to disregard inconvenient crime data.

But about 1/2 of violent crimes are reported and 1/3 of property crimes are reported.

This number stays consistent, give or take a percentage point or two.

A downward trend is a downward trend. Period

Happy birthday to activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton.

He was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old.

William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300.

Public comment was 2:1 against Dunn's motion to keep the youth jail open indefinitely. @KromanDavid - I was disappointed the see that your reporting was misleading on that point. https://t.co/Vc16y4NPge via @seattletimes
