Thank you also to all of our King County staff for keeping us safe and moving. Team members from Metro, Sound Transit, the Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, and more were working over time alongside city staff to make sure everything went smoothly.

The priority for middle and last mile should be to wealthy areas & publicly funded housing;
A community must switch 50% for it to pay for itself and not fail;
Building public broadband is an expensive project but that is no excuse to delay it!

For years a working group of Share the Cities met with officials at the state, county, and local level. We met with the current Mayor and County Executive and most of the Port of Seattle. We know what needs to happen. #UpgradeKingCounty

No even gonna mention the attempts by other activists & city employees to make this gov. internet happen in the past.

Nor the fact the Seattle Times has always dragged its feet on genuine progressive tech policies that help people & not corporations

I wonder about the timing of articles like this.
Sure, it’s good to know *now*, but this deal to buy out Lumen/Centurylink’s [conveniently not mentioned] internet business was in the works while Harrell was still mayor & he knew about it.
This now drops the surprise & challenge in Wilson’s lap

In honor of Valentine’s Day, @janehu.bsky.social and I talked to “Love in a Fucked Up World” author @deanspade.bsky.social about why dating in Seattle seems to suck so much right now and how we can make conflict in our friendships and social movements a little less destructive and more generative:

Happy to report that the pro-housing crowd has in fact shown up in Bainbridge Island tonight.
At tonight's Bainbridge Island council meeting: a rep from the city employee union spoke first during comment about the fact that many employees commute from far off the island because they can't afford to live there.

The next speaker spoke against affordable housing, but felt "awkward" about it.

One of the most important things @houseourneighbors.bsky.social has done is they have celebrate success every single small medium and large step of the way. This is critical for movement building.
