I do like it when students say "thank you" when they leave a lecture. It makes me feel like someone important, such as a bus driver.

Bid limits—prohibiting local governments from performing their own work over a certain dollar value—are a form of privatization that increases the cost of government.
Our crew-built work is one big way that we’re delivering the Seattle Transportation Levy.
By using in-house construction crews, we complete improvements that you’ve requested with lower costs and faster timelines.
Here are 9 recently completed projects from our inspector’s camera roll:

I hope more people are beginning to see the similarities between the cops and ICE.
We recently made a video about former CRG Lt. Matthew Didier at Cal Anderson last year.
Richard Bonesteel is now a sergeant in that unit. This angry child temperament in CRG is a feature, not a bug. SPD chooses this type to lead.

If bikes destroyed car infrastructure at this rate, bikes would be banned in 36 states.
Barely 24 hours later and the Pine & 4th temporary bike safety barrier is already nearly a foot out of position.
This is unsustainable.
@seattledot.bsky.social can we get another work order to restore it before it becomes a significant mobility obstruction and safety hazard?

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

If the mass grave isn’t at the detention center it’s at the prisons of their third country removal partners
I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
