I cannot recommend this @johnkroman.bsky.social post enough: the pandemic-era trends in violence, both the rise and fall, track local government employment... and NOT of the police (which stay relatively stable). Fewer coaches, counselors, etc.? More violence. More of them? Less violence.

Debora Juarez, 2020: "When I hear people say there's just a few bad apples on the police force I adamantly disagree with that. It's just not a healthy tree. We need to plant a new tree, we have to completely re-imagine, re-vision what community policing is." www.kuow.org/podcast/news...

Bad apples? Seattle Police 'not a healthy tree' says city council member

Chants of "defund S-P-D" have become a common message at protests in Seattle, and for the first time the idea is getting serious attention from the city council.

I think this Op-Ed by Clifford Carl Cawthon captures a lot of the anger that many people in Seattle felt, watching the Bite of Seattle shooting become completely centered around this unremarkable, absentee police chief www.theurbanist.org/op-ed-police...

Quote from the Op-Ed by Clifford Carl Cawthon:
I felt disgust on multiple levels: 1) I was wondering why we weren't focusing on the victims or what we need to heal the community; 2) listening as a Black man who is deeply concerned about advancing police accountability, seeing some people I respect seemingly run political cover for a police officer who has committed himself to a homophobic, transphobic, reactionary, and sexist status

Brandon Domena was filming ICE when masked agents tackled him. Held for five hours, he was released without charge. DHS says he spat and kicked an agent. Domena and witnesses deny it. Public footage proves neither. ICE released no bodycam video.

Landlord, Michael E Heijer accidentally CCed the entire Seattle city council, asking fellow landlords to testify against rental junk fee banning. Said renters who testified in favor of banning junk fees were the “unemployed left trying to stick it to the man.” Still think this isn’t a class war?

Thanks Wes;
I wrote a similar one and sent it, but didn't cc anyone as I am not sure how they treat that.
I met with Lake Union Partners yesterday and they had a group of developers speaking in front of the Seattle City Council complaining about this item. They were a handful of people who spoke against it, and then the unemployed left of course had a whole bunch of people trying to "stick it to the man" as they want other people pay for their living accommodations.
Very sad.
So, Jack, Nevin et al please keep writing more emails to them so they know that we don't like this at all and keep some pressure on them
Thanks and have a great weekend all.

A note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.

July was ICE’s busiest month yet in the Puget Sound region. It’s a stealthy surge, without the helicopters or smoke grenades of Chicago and MN. But the surge is real, with real people taken every day. Each red pin is someone’s family member, neighbor, coworker, loved one.

Screenshot from iceout.org (People Over Papers) showing community ICE reports in the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett region from 7/1-2026-7/31/2026.

The whole urban region is covered with map pins in red, yellow, and green. The pins stack on top of each other, making them impossible to count.

Most of the urban region is covered with map pins in red, yellow, and green. In some places, the pins stack on top of each other, making them impossible to count. North Seattle, Bellevue, and Bothell have fewer reports than Tacoma, South Everett, and S King County.

Screenshot from iceout.org (People Over Papers) showing community ICE reports in the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett region from 5/1-2026-5/31/2026.

There are several dozen pins in red, yellow, and green — few enough to see each individual pin. South King County has the biggest cluster. There are no pins in Everett and only 1 in Tacoma

Treating homeless people like toxic waste that must be isolated and kept far away from parks and children is blatant dehumanization, whether it's wrapped up in "protect our children" language or said outright.

Seattle City Councilmembers Joy Hollingsworth and Maritza Rivera want to ban new tiny house villages from areas within 750 feet of playgrounds, parks, child cares, and schools. Guess no one told them that there are homeless children, and that some of them will be living in these shelters.

Amendment 4, Version 1 to CB 121195 - MO Transitional Encampment Expansion ORD
Sponsor: Councilmember Hollingsworth
Author: Councilmember Rivera
Separation from sensitive uses
Effect: This amendment would require that new or expanded transitional encampments that are designed to accommodate more than 100 occupants be located at least 750 feet from the property line of primary or secondary education institutions, childcare centers or playgrounds within a public park and at least 500 feet from public parks greater than two acres in size.
Transitional encampments that exclusively shelter families with children or occupants in recovery from substance abuse would not be subject to the separation requirement.
Current regulations prohibit the location of encampments in unopened public rights-of-way - and on property designated for parks and open space by the City and King County. Childcare centers are defined in the Land Use Code as "an institution that regularly provides care to a group of children for less than 24 hours a day, whether for compensation or not. Preschools, cooperative child care exchanges, and drop-in centers where children receive care by the day shall be considered to be child care centers." Seattle Municipal Code Section 23.84.A.018.
