Economic-based justice, not just a land acknowledgement. @UW should do the same (and make it 100% free this time).

To increase access to higher education for Native students, Michigan State is offering in-state tuition to Native ppl living across the country. The move in part is in response to Michigan’s history where many of its Indigenous ppl were violently removed. https://t.co/S0kAnhHtfW

Per usual @PubliColaNews answering the exact question I needed answered

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

Looks like changes are firm “neighborhood center” boundaries, one added in magnolia and west Seattle, one deleted in beacon hill

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

Did the new Comp Plan draft change from the April one? Or just firm boundaries for the “neighborhood centers”?

Take one minute to tell Seattle City Council to pass I-137 outright! (Or at least put it on the November ballot)

Seattle residents and voters have repeatedly showed strong support for social housing. Let’s get it done!!

This man would be a “radical leftist” on the Seattle city council

“I’m sorry if we build a little bit and it has an impact on someone’s perfect neighborhood because people aren’t even able to survive right now. So I guess my sympathies are quite low.”

@benmaritz @asher_971 Housing first intervention is a proven strategy to solve homelessness.

This is every liberal person on Twitter in Seattle

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

THREAD. The New York Times just published a diary entry about the moment a liberal realized he was a fascist. It's very very weird.

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

It’s crazy having gone to a private university because you look up your classmates and they either are marketing manager at Raytheon, comms director for a Republican, or head of subprime mortgages at JP Morgan.

Best news of the week!

I'm running to represent the people of the 43rd Legislative District in the Washington State House of Representatives, and I want to talk about why. (1/6)

[Councilmember Tammy J. Morales @CMTammyMorales]

We have a once-in-a-decade chance to get the Comprehensive Plan update right. To plan for a city of healthy, vibrant, and well-connected neighborhoods.

The current draft does not do this, but we can still change it. And it’s going to take ALL of us.

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

Every council member endorsed upzoning & Alt. 5 publicly. But now that the plan’s out and election is over (likely purposefully timed by Harrell), just unimaginative drivel about “ugly townhomes.” Unfortunately for city council, we didn’t forget what they promised.

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

Paraprofessionals in classrooms, service workers, creatives, etc. who actually make Seattle a good place to live can’t afford to live in the city. But definitely, let’s subsidize housing for police.

[ashleynerbovig @ashleynerbovig]

OH MY GOD! Council Member Sara Nelson just asked about SUBSIDIZED housing for cops.

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

This is why I’m so glad @TammyMoralesSEA was re-elected. She seems to be the only council member that 1) has a working knowledge of the plan and 2) understands its impacts

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

@antoniacere She’s on one!

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

All this yellow for basically SFZ-lite and building restrictions that make any modicum of density difficult to achieve. It is insane to read that this will make Seattle "an affordable and racially inclusive city." How?

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

@holz_bau The mayor has way too much control over OPCD. And what he says goes, ultimately.

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

This is from OPCD's 2021 community engagement summary. It's offensive to do this engagement, and then do the exact opposite in the draft plan. Urban villages stayed, no major changes to exclusionary zoning, and no targeted upzoning in rich neighborhoods like Magnolia, Seward Park

[Hailey Karcher @hphippsk]

And alternative 1 was do nothing. So we got *slightly* better than that.
