HB 1323 is a bipartisan bill that would make protesting on Washington State highways a class C Felony. Because mass protest will be a crucial tool of resistance to both federal fascism and local austerity measures, we must make sure it doesn’t pass. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?Bi…

@DivestSPD This is Seattle; three SPD vehicles blocking bus lanes to bark orders at a person to stay out of the street. There is nothing helpful that the police can say. The person in the street needs basics needs: food, housing, and health care.

Do you think jailing people is free? King County courts, jails, and prosecutors cumulatively cost $634m annually to lock up fewer than 2,000 ppl Plus, another $92m for Seattle courts + prosecutors Plus $465m for SPD Plus $285m for KCSO That's nearly $1.5 billion

@DivestSPD Scale of the problem has only increased. Big brains like you just think more money should be burned fighting the Human Condition for any mentally ill drug addict that prop up a tent within city limits.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote. propub.li/3VVlbGc

@GuyOron A couple weeks ago when it was about 35°, I stopped along 12th & Jackson, because I saw SPD; 3 SPD vehicles were surrounding a pressure washing truck. All of the folks who are normally there had to move; the timing and the temperature made the act even more brutal.

Just saw today as I was riding the bus that King County Metro has closed its bus stops at 12th and Jackson in little Saigon. This area is where the city of Seattle has been sweeping homeless people to, by cracking down on areas near Westlake like 3rd and Pike.

@DivestSPD Jails do not provide restoration of harm; it is just an extremely costly and dehumanizing experience. WA spends $63,000+ per incarcerated person per year, whereas we only spend $18,000 per student. If we provide people with resources they need, it will actually save money.

Do these people think cops, courts, jails, lawyers, judges, etc. are free?

@CarlFNelson Yes! Let's allocate more resources to homeless junkies! It's the only way!

Idk why I'm shocked by this but I'm just finding out that Seattle is sweeping 20+ vehicles on Thanksgiving, when there are no services bc most ppl have the day off. Your hard earned tax dollars at work. The cruelty is the point.

Well, the city just gave SPD $170 million, so perhaps that is to account for the $200 million budget shortfall... along with the lack of progressive revenue.
Guy Oron@GuyOron

Today, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell will announce his plans for the 2025 and 2026 city budgets. With a $200+ million budget shortfall, here are 5 things to look out for: 1) 2024 revenue appears to be ~$50 million stronger than expected, so along with cost savings measures like
