We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

The Reddit comments about my video in one of the Seattle subs remind me why I stopped posting on Reddit Communities filled with people who will spend hours scrolling Reddit farming karma, picking fights, and complaining, but never time to actually watch the fucking video

I spent 5 months investigating bogus reckless driving charges the Seattle Police Department hit me with on Mayday 2026 I'm finally ready to deconstruct the retaliatory policing, and prove how many at the city knew there was no crime to charge me with in the first place youtu.be/7e8I4NbMa2A

According to the Seattle Times Seattle can’t enforce parking rules because the police want a slush fund/thing to point to when asked how they are saving money? So why did we move parking enforcement from SDOT back to SPD? Maybe we should rethink that. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

seattletimes.comWhy isn’t Seattle hiring parking enforcement officers if they make money?As one of the few revenue-generating city jobs, they should be a budget writer's best friend. Not this year.

After police abuses, this is the threat I am terrified of on the horizon: Exploitation of the half-baked, highly vulnerable, extremely powerful surveillance and automation state that America is becoming, by hackers OR rogue AI

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

I think you can learn a lot about the moderate political program in Seattle and WA more generally by reading this gish gallop from political consultant Eileen Pollet.

COMMUNITY REQUEST DivestSPD needs help buying a new (old) computer to automate data collection. We ran our old one until it literally busted open (see pic). Unlike SPD we're good custodians of the people's money. We found a refurbbed one for $200. Chip in at venmo.com/divestspd

In less than 2 years America deployed secret police, concentration camps, mass surveillance for local PD's via camera/drone/data brokers, and criminalization of extremely foundational concepts like creating zines We can't afford 2 more years of corruption and liberal fecklessness, we need to fight

In Paris, the uprising continues. On October 18, masses of people once again took to the streets. Crowds gathered at Place de la République and in the surrounding streets, erecting barricades as police deployed large amounts of tear gas. 🧵

Together, we can defeat these dangerous initiatives that put our kids at greater risk of harm. Vote NO on I-001 & I-638 when your ballot arrives. #NoHateWAState

This is an example of the type of glaring vulnerabilities that exist in the Seattle surveillance system, that SPD has lied about, and politicians are ignoring, as they demand MORE COPS MORE COPS MORE COPS Every unaccountable cop is just another massive risk of violence to everyone in the community

Seattle police lieutenant Matthew Didier, caught on camera telling his fellow officers “We’re here to fuck people up” before SPD threw protesters to the ground and arrested them at an anti-trans rally last year, has been disciplined—with a verbal reprimand.

I think anyone who sees the slogan “protect the dolls” as offensive admits to being someone who wants trans people dead and should be treated accordingly.

Never forget. Defunding never happened. SPD had their feelers hurt and have been on wildcat strike for years. Centrist pols and the police union have used these hurt feelings as a cudgel to hurt legitimate attempts to reform policing in the city. Get cops off Tiktok and back to doing their jobs.

Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social

The mayor has proposed increasing SPD's budget by $68 million, on top of the additional $4 million or so SPD is getting from the year-end supplemental due to overspending this year. This would fund Bruce Harrell's and SPD's hiring goal of 1,250 officers.

Lol, Council provisoed about $2.1M for 2026 to encourage SPD to hire parking enforcement officers. SPD didn't do it but they want the money anyway. They also want $2.1M for the extra overtime they'll use and $1.8M extra for a bunch of other stuff.

In this morning's council meeting, Bob Kettle said "inflation" was an impact on costs "across all labor agreements," not just the police department's. Just to bring us back to reality, the new contract gave officers a 42% pay increase across 5 years, which is far above inflation.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party for Self-defense; founded by Huey P Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland California. October 15, 1966. Let's revisit their ten-point plan and how it holds up today

The core of the problem with Seattle public safety is that it’s largely been handed to an institution, in the Seattle police Department, who cares nothing about the safety of the community SPD wants money, power, and influence to support its staff of mostly white men, who live outside of Seattle

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson answered questions Tuesday about gun violence, outstanding investigations in which police still haven’t made arrests, and polling that shows a growing sense of insecurity among Seattleites when it comes to public safety.
