Isn't WOSCA still empty? Perfect anchor for a new neighborhood right on the waterfront next to Lumen. A Renton move is purely about money but I guarantee a stadium at Longacres will crater this club & lose money. Not to mention alienate disabled & poor people who can't drive.

Nelson never passed meaningful legislation & openly admitted to not understanding the budget + was only picked as Council President bc 8 of 9 CMs at the time were center-right. No wonder she teamed up w/ perpetual loser Tanya Woo to create this AstroTurf misinfo org. Their only power is wealth.

It's budget season in Seattle & Nantes. In one city, you know it's happening. In the other? No. In one you can view the process in person or online. In the other, not. In one, you can interact. In the other, nope. In one, you can impact the budget. The other? Not yet. We can & will change that

Seattle can be proud to have some of the most engaged, informed, & empowered renters in the nation. Tenant organizers in Seattle have won a growing list of protetections over the past decade, slowly shifting the power imbalance between renters & the people whose investments they pay for (landlords).

I mean if they made tickets more affordable & didn't treat the club as purely an investment vehicle, that would be a start. Restore goodwill, then improve the product on the field. Short-term monetary gains will disappear if things don't change.

Honestly, labeling them as centrists let's them off the hook. Their ideas and actions are center-right. That's right wing. Sometimes the center-right drifts center (I.e. free food for children, or universal affordable housing) but they float right back to the right after.

Devin Silvernail @devinsilvernail.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Literally the point of taxes, you fucking morons. I don't personally use the defense budget. I don't personally attend elementary school. I haven't even used 99% of roads in the city where I grew up. That's how taxes work. Seriously, are the rich just fucking stupid or they think everyone else is?

This is just really sad. I was here less than a month ago seeing my family. This is where I said goodbye to my dad. This is where a lot of my family lives and now they're all evacuated.

France should be mad about these wildfires, but this is a global problem. Wildfires like this have been ravaging many parts of the world for decades. It's time for a global solution to climate change instead of a piecemeal nation by nation one. Take your righteous anger and point it toward that goal

Devin Silvernail @devinsilvernail.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Hopefully this is Seattle's wake up call to stop trusting Dan Strauss. Honestly, a Ballard republican would at least be predictable instead of this. Opposing progressivism only to change your mind & take a victory lap is nothing but exhausting for the people affected & it has been his MO for years.

Any time a politician keeps poor people from accessing a universal service bc "rich people will also use it" that's anti-poor classist behavior. That false concern masks a real sentiment thet basic things like food or shelter aren't rights but rather privileges, perpetuated always by the ultra rich

Devin Silvernail @devinsilvernail.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Means testing is a classic democrat move. Using it as the way to close a door to poor people is perfectly republican. That's your city council, Seattle. No party of the left. No party of the people. All kids deserve free food. It's pretty fucking simple.

Attention Nantais•es : fermez vos fenêtres ce soir. J'ai grandi avec la fumée des incendies de forêt, et même "un peu" de fumée est tellement mauvaise pour nos poumons. Surtout quand il y a des matériaux de bâtiments brûlés dedans. Restez vigilant•es.

Lol the USMNT get what they deserved from playing uninspired lazy long balls and terrible counters for that 2nd half. I literally laughed out loud. Enormously outplayed by Turkey.

Devin Silvernail @devinsilvernail.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Like, I get this excites Euro-obsessed soccer bros from Kansas City, but I do truly hope that Poch feels no love from Seattle over this. USMNT never plays in Seattle, despite literally always winning, and you can't even let us see one of our own on the home pitch tihs one time.

If Cristian Roldan plays today (tonight for me), he's gonna score a goal and Lumen will stand, at that moment, as the loudest stadium, the loudest crowd, of this whole World Cup. He did it for us in the CWC. I feel it for today too. Let him play.

Where are all those electeds, including the "housing champions" that stood in the way of social housing for years, now? Imagine how Seattle could have had this sooner if not for them. This is a huge win for engaged residents & a blow to the egos of plenty of electeds.

I know I'm just bragging at this point, but recently I was saying I don't even consider painted bike lanes as bike lanes anymore b/c there are so many elevated or concrete protected ones in my city now. It's all political will. The change starts at the ballot box.

@mayorofseattle.bsky.social can just pull a Reverse-Bruce Harrell and keep it open to people between Seward Park & Mt. Baker Beach indefinitely. Then, in like 6 months, send out a survey to SE Seattle residents. See what they think. Let the actually data dictate what happens.

Coexist LWB stepping from behind the curtain to show they're all elderly wealthy white homeowners. Is anyone at all surprised? Bruce Harrell & his SDOT let this astroturf group squander funding for a safe walking + biking promenade on LWB. They used cynical, unethical lies to keep this road unsafe.

Devin Silvernail @devinsilvernail.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Back in 2021 when we first tried getting funding at Council to develop social housing & the uphill climb looked long, this felt impossible. Good thing Seattleites are used to walking up hills. Congratulations SSHD & everyone who worked so hard for this. The first of many to come.

Devin Silvernail @devinsilvernail.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Glad they're still whining about the work that we did to actually save lives, even after they gutted LWB safety measures. The speed bumps are *their idea.* The concrete protection elsewhere? Yeah that was us. Sorry you can only go 15mph over the limit while going directly to where you want to go.
