"I'll say that fatal shootings in 2012 were 211, and in 2024 there were 541. And post-pandemic, it increased exponentially," Rivera said. None of these things are true. There were 26 fatal shootings in 2012 and 55 in 2024.

Seattle city council's District 5 has been held by pro-business backed candidates for a long time. Debora Juarez has held this seat on-and-off for nearly a decade. Cathy Moore won the seat in 2024, but resigned 18 months later. There is a special election *right now* to fill the seat until 2028.

This is what the beginning of a radicalization rabbit hole looks like. I mostly follow local businesses and youth soccer on Instagram and never interact with far-right accounts or content. Yet here is Meta "helpfully" serving up this anodyne Matt Walsh content. 1/2

A Instagram post of a screenshot of a Xitter post from far-right activist, Matt Walsh

"Youth sports went completely insane at some
point over the past several years. Parents
spending thousands of dollars, devoting
multiple days a week, traveling all around, all so
their kid can obsessively play a particular sport
and then graduate high school and never play it
again. I actually think the "everybody's a
winner, the score doesn't matter" approach
was preferable to this. Bring back the
participation trophies if this is the alternative."

One of the arguments against funding universal school meals in Seattle now is "the money may run out and we'll have to yank the program in 3 years." What's baffling to me about that argument is that the council funds things with literal ONE-TIME money all the time. This is an ongoing tax source!

I went by the scene on Wildwood and happened upon the friends and family of the cyclist just after they had installed a ghost bike this afternoon. She was Maridee Bonadea, a 76-year-old well-loved and wonderful lady from Vashon Island. This did not have to happen and was entirely preventable.

For those that don't know, the Fauntleroy Community Association has effectively had a veto power on any transportation or housing projects in southwest Seattle for half a century. They are the ones who prevent new bike infrastructure in Fauntleroy, the type that could've saved a life yesterday.

Do! This is a good reminder to me to also go; it's been a while.
Some background, in case you aren't familiar:
The FCA was founded by the waterfront-owning Lantz family in the '70s specifically to oppose ferry dock expansion. Susan Lantz, daughter of the founders, went on to marry Mike Dey. They also lived on the Sound, just south of the dock. Dey was president of the FCA for many years and remained hard-line on the "no dock expansion" stance, and Susan Lantz-Dey also served on the board. Mike Dey died last year. Susan's cousin Frank Immel is now FCA president; he owns Susan's parents' former home north of the ferry dock. So basically you have a single family running a fiefdom in Fauntleroy. It's amazing how much power they project from such a small bubble. Last I saw, FCA membership is ~100 households, but the board maintains a pretty strong grip on power.
