Looking to create effective climate change policy? Ask the community
In Seattle, community assemblies are gathering frontline community members to set their own policies around extreme weather
The 37th Legislative District Democrats just voted unanimously in favor of a resolution supporting Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Senator Bernie Sanders in trying to end support for the genocide in Gaza and calling on Rep. Smith and Senators Murray & Cantwell to join them and oppose military aid. #seattle #waleg

Hey #Seattle #tech folks. A friend of a friend is in need of some empathetic helpdesk technician level assistance in choosing a new Windows PC and then getting their data moved over to it from their old machine.
It's probably a hour to gather their requirements and recommend a decent PC and then an afternoon on-site to help them migrate data and install apps.
Preference for female/femme folks as this will be an in-person gig for a woman.
the light rail is hella disrupted today and for a while

So naturally Bob Kettle, city council's most excited ex-cop who wants a spy network, refused to turn over video footage of my assault directly infront of his home surveillance camera
I guess Bob Kettle likes his privacy more than solving crimes.
Yet here we are, spying on a few thousand old asian grannies in the CID and probably helping get them in trouble with ICE.
The constitution, 4th amendment, sound crime research and public comment didn't work, concerned Seattle citizens held a noise demo at Bob Kettle's house. City council's loudest supporter of this crap, ex-SPD cop and current neighborhood watch captain of Queen Anne.
And you know what? Bob's band of sundown town vigilantes violently attacked the protesters and I was smashed in the head for holding a fucking sign.
This legislation SOAP/SODA zones, put forth by Cathy Moore (an ex-Native reservation Court judge) was strongly opposed.
None the less the city council rammed this legislature through.
And Mayor Bruce Harrell, whose up for re-election, happily signed off on this cop city bullshit.
They crushed public comment with massive police presences and violent arrests, with several public commentators still facing charges!
As we said months ago when the city council voted for this dragnet spy network, there are now people whose entire day and life will be on these cameras.
Each of these near neighborhood-wide deployments cover critical services and in some cases enough essential services that a person might be on camera everytime they leave home for years on end.
Seattle's big brother camera network is being deployed along Aurora, in two very dense deployments in the Central District (CID) and a swath of Downtown.
16 on Aurora
17 in CID
30 cameras downtown
The police have self reported the locations of sixty cameras so far on the dashboard below:

Seattle cops have just activated their new 24/7 citywide AI surveillance camera network.
Cops at operations centers will be watching the video from over SIXTY HD cameras in three neighborhoods.
The cops are storing video for 30 days, or indefinably if a cop decides they want to keep it for "investigation".
Seattle residents tried to stop this dragnet, saying it will only empower Trump in our region.
The other day we were out and about later than we intended, but we really weren't bothered by the fact.
We had no agenda, no schedule, no plans other than to enjoy our outing, and it was a most liberating feeling.
"We'll wend our way back eventually," we told each other, "but for now, we're here."
