❗️ LAST YEAR THE CITY OF SEATTLE FORCIBLY DISPLACED UNHOUSED PPL OVER 900 TIMES W/ MINIMAL RESOURCES OFFERED & the city is set to exceed that this year ❗️
JOIN US TMR AT 6pm to hear ppl’s experiences of encampment sweeps in seattle & learn about the work being done to end sweeps
Do most ppl know the city "temporarily" paused sweeps during this week's heatwave/smoke warning but didn't actually do that and instead swept residents in record temps instead of steering them towards cooling shelters? Our collective cruelty has no limits
#StopTheSweeps
Biden ran on the most moderate watered-down policies like a Public Option, 2 year free community college, and $15 minimum wage and accomplished NONE OF IT. These policies wouldn’t even make a dent on the massive levels of inequality in this nation and he couldn’t even do that.
You're not serious about ending homelessness if you don't address the systemic barriers into housing.
Application fees, credit checks, making 3x the rent, no pets, giant deposits.
It's hard for a housed person to get into an apt. - imagine how hard it is for someone in a tent.
As always if you'd like to support our outreach on the streets of LA please check out this wishlist - every single item will be handed to someone in need ❤️ : https://t.co/IUYvSHWpAg
One of the most intense marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the West Coast of the US, with water temperatures peaking nearly 5°C (9°F) above normal.
NOAA has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.
Last night was great, SHOUT TO THE TEAM! I lost what little hope I had for electoral politics this year but looking forward to continuing the real work of improving our city. The council will be getting a lot more conservative and we'll need radical action to keep us safe 💪🏾LFG!
can we come up with a definition for "progressive" in seattle bc it clearly no longer serves a function when everyone from Sawant to Lewis is considered one? Does it just mean "not and outright fascist" or something??
I come across as a pretty funny person but I'm dead ass serious when I say ppl in power do not care if we live or die. That's hard to hear but the evidence is, and always has been, right in fucking front of us.
