Meet @adrigen and Lee: Buy Nothing group admins co-designing our Mutual Aid Networks stretch goal. Their video and article reveal why gifting communities need more than "Facebook groups but federated", they need infrastructure built for proximity, self-governance, and generosity.

It is the dawn of the Age of the #PNW Wilsons!
Following last year's election of #Portland mayor Keith Wilson, #Seattle has elected its new mayor Katie Wilson, and one of her first actions heading into office?
Starbucks: We dump your ass! 🙅🏻♀️

Anche a Seattle una candidata democratica progressiste, Katie Wilson, nelle elezioni per la carica di sindaco ha sconfitto il candidato sostenuto dalle grandi corporation (anche lui del partito democratico).
La campagna della Wilson si è incentrata sul miglioramento dei trasporti pubblici, l'aumento dei salari, la tutela di chi vive in affitto per rendere più accessibie il vivere e l'abitare in città, la sua è stata una campagna elettorale dal basso sostenuta da "un esercito di volontari".

Hiker was in distress near the summit of Mailbox Peak in the Cascade Mountains east of #Seattle. SAR team used e-bikes to ascend ~3,000 feet and stabilize the hiker before ground teams arrived to help the hiker down. No paywall. #PNW #SearchAndRescue #Hiking

Harrell's concession speech is gracious, but it's hard to forget the vile way he treats women. I really want to like the man, but the "she had help from her parents with childcare costs" attack really was the cherry on top of the misogyny sundae for me. There are so many ways to respond to that situation in a productive way as an incumbent mayor (eg: pledging more childcare support for ALL Seattle families regardless of income). It should not be used as a way to tear someone down.

Seattle's Mayor Bruce Harrell has posted his concession speech to the Seattle Channel.
It's always great to see democracy in action... oh and gotta thank our lucky stars Bruce didn't finish defunding the public access channel to give more money to the cops otherwise we might not have been able to see it. 🥴
Jeeze the very first real accomplishment Mayor Bruce mentioned is that he over saw the hiring of 150 Seattle police.
Which again REALLY makes my point for me.
Wasting money with ineffective cop surges is pretty much the only thing Harrell has done. Not a new idea. But he did direct a new amount of violence towards the homeless.
