Yeah, it was good to see a statement this morning but as the day's gone on I've been hating it more and more. I generally like Mamdani's approach to the job but he's giving his critics A LOT of ammunition with this "Moment of silence for 10/7. OK, now that that's out of the way ..." BS

The official position of the Seattle Soviet state as determined by deliberations of the Seattle Central Committee is that crime is down within the oblast's core. Premier Wilson will apply additional safety measures as needed, though it's doubtful they will. Further words here are wasted, comrade.

In Chicago we have CAPS and block watches, does Seattle PD offer the same kind of community outreach? If you don’t mind working with the police directly I’ve found their community outreach officers helpful

The story is well-reported and worth reading. Shane usually is when it comes to spending strategy. He's doing his own piece a disservice with this pull quote (which reads much less edgy in context).
