Happy #Caturday!
An orange cat stares at the camera, sitting on a little mat under a christmas tree with the bad kind of LED lights. He's perfectly loafed, but partially obscured by a wood slatted tree collar around the base to keep little paws out

Don't love Mayor Harrell feeding the right-wing conspiracy theorists with this one 😕

Washington state has one of the most secure and reliable election systems in the country, and it's really disappointing to hear even an outgoing mayor echoing Trumpian talking points.

Katie's up by 1917 votes, which puts her 0.72% above, when comparing percentage of the vote cast just for the two of them, making this outside the margin for an automatic recount! 🎉

We'll get more results tomorrow (🤞🏻), but if you haven't already, today's a great day to track your ballot and make sure it's been counted! It'll only take a minute 😁

I can't with Kshama anymore- while she did help to push for the $15 minimum wage and head tax, she completely lost me when she endorsed the grifter Jill Stein.

Rallying against "the two parties" equally is a stupid take in 2025. The Dems are far from perfect, but there are at least some good ones.
A post from Ryan Packer (@typewriteralley.bsky.social): PAC spending tried to tie Katie Wilson to Kshama Sawant during this campaign. Meanwhile Sawant's Workers Strike Back org includes Wilson in the "two parties of Wall Street & War" when advertising an event this weekend, with Andrew Cuomo wedged in between her and Bruce Harrell. The post's image is a graphic showing Kshama Sawant in red with Bruce Harrell, Andrew Cuomo, Katie Wilson, AOC and Zohran Mamdani in blue.

We're so back, we've never been more back- 55.01% of the vote share in today's drop, which is above the trajectory she'd need to win!

Harrell's lead went from 9.9k yesterday, to 4.3k today 😁

KUOW just added the following statement to their elections results page, reiterating that they have *not* called this race.

#katiewilson #katiewilsonformayor #Seattle
NOTE: KUOW has not called the Seattle mayoral race at this point. King County Elections says there are still approximately 100,000 Seattle ballots left to count. We are in touch with DDHQ about updating their results.

Harrell's lead decreased from 11.1k to 9.9k in today's drop, moving in the right direction! 🎉

Stay hopeful, Seattle! Today's drop wasn't the start of the bounce we're wanting to see just yet, but some important context 👇🏻

A screenshot of a post from David Kroman on Bluesky: King County elections confirmed to me that so far they’ve only counted ballots up to those submitted Monday or early on Election Day, and none from drop boxes. Wednesday reflects basically a wrap up of what they started counting Tuesday.

Hey, at least the SMS spam software is getting better at deciphering unsubscribe requests 🤭

Anyways, remember to vote for Katie Wilson and get your ballot to a drop box ASAP!

It's political mailer season, and we're definitely lucky to have this many great progressives on the ballot!

A screenshot of a post by Crystal Fincher KOMO, Seattle’s Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate, will not be airing ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ when it returns on Tuesday. The post has a quote post from Brian Stelter inside This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."
