@JimWalshLD19 Why would you bring up Seattle's mayor in the loss of Bellevue jobs? Insofar as Mayors are a meaningful part of this story, surely this post should be complaining about Bellevue's mayor?
@EliasOakland @Sebastian_Hols @_giacomo_volpe_ @ArmandDoma What do you think it means, in that specific context?
@opinonhaver His best trait by a wide margin
@Sebastian_Hols @EliasOakland @_giacomo_volpe_ @ArmandDoma Maybe they're hanging their hat on marriage having a legal as well as moral/ethical dimension, and the tweet doesn't imply she opposes interracial marriage in the legal sense of repealing Loving/outlawing. Happy to concede, but only renders the tweet marginally less grotesque.
@Sebastian_Hols @EliasOakland @_giacomo_volpe_ @ArmandDoma Yeah, I see a lot of people saying it isn't opposition to interracial dating/marriage, but they don't say what the other, better interpretation of it is. I'm open to alternative interpretations! But I have to actually see one articulated before I can entertain it.
@EliasOakland @_giacomo_volpe_ @Sebastian_Hols @ArmandDoma I confess to not being terribly skilled at interpreting deranged shit posting, but it seems difficult to make sense of the post if she doesn't mean something like "being attracted to and acting on that attraction"
@_giacomo_volpe_ @Sebastian_Hols @ArmandDoma What do you take "fetishizing" to mean in that specific context?
@magi_jay By "treatment" do you just mean choosing to endorse someone else, or was there something else I missed here?
I see that, because the it's a fairly popular bit of anti-renter bigotry hiding behind empty left-populist rhetoric, some people who voted for ROAD are lying about the big investor ban in the bill. Happily, the strong versions of this idiocy didn't make it through to passage.
Some people are spinning the ROAD to Housing Act as a ban on "private equity" buying single-family houses. But there is no ban in the final version of the bill. Read it. There's no ban. It's more of a new compliance process than an actual ban. But large investors can still buy
@poorlyreasoned Right; the relevant question is one of strategy, not one of bravery/cowardice.
@RebeccaKKatz Why would it be cowardly to disagree with another member of your party's public statement? It might be bad strategy, but that's an entirely different question. What makes doing this presumptively cowardly?
@enggirlfriend "High quality rent-a-chauffeurs at bargain-basement prices" was a model that was only going to work (without aggressive subsidy) when the labor market was sufficiently weak. Those people have better options now.
@Joseph25069412 @lordsutch I would imagine it would be an easier lift to convince the rank and file to override in the Senate than the House.
@skaushik100 Yeah I've been surprised by that too, especially without any post-primary polling to bolster it.
@MappingFL If it's "working", ~30% of 70-30 underdogs should win. I have no idea if that's the case or not, but one particular case tells us nothing.
@loganb Sure, although I think the meta-stance of Seattle voters--mostly fairly weak commitments to any particular individual or faction, pretty willing to switch direction if they perceive things aren't going well--is a pretty healthy orientation toward political power.
@VreelandZap I'm not relying on some tweet, I followed this story in real time. our-streets.org/the-real-deal/…
This dynamic played out in several cities; it's instructive about how "anti-racism" can so horribly go off the rails. More PoC getting speeding tickets is evidently an affront to anti-racist values, but more PoC getting massacred by reckless, speeding drivers is not.
“Policing should be more targeted” lolololol Let me tell you a story about targeted policing. So Seattle got speeding cameras a few years ago, an advisory group had to recommend where to place them. One thing they hated was that if the cameras were simply put in the most
