“Special Contract” customers, which may include corporations like Microsoft, are actually seeing their rates decrease double digits.

A bill (HB2515) to regulate Washington State data centers failed to move forward, which included a fee linked to their energy consumption

Meanwhile, PSE is proposing to hike electric rates on their residential customers to 16.75% in 2027

Norfolk PD’s salary is significantly less than Seattle PD. Is someone on their marketing team sabotaging their recruiting efforts, or is there something I’m missing here?

Norfolk PD was looking at how to spend their marketing budget and thought “hmm what about the in 62 bus in Seattle?”

A reminder that all WA federal representatives and both senators are AIPAC funded except for Jayapal

There’s an emergency protest today (2/28) at Pike Place, 2PM in response to the USA and Israel attacking Iran

How is there a lack of agenda items when “Public comments” is always an agenda item

You can submit your OPMA complaint to the AG’s office here. They have a unit dedicated to this 👇🏼

Protesters had planned to attend the Hunts Point town council meeting because Mayor John Sabey is a landlord to ICE in Tukwila through the Sabey Corporation.

Hunts Point just cancelled this meeting citing “lack of agenda items, a reason not recognized under Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act.

This is good news to the people that have consistently been reaching out Mayor Franklin and urging her to take action

Permantly disabling Flock surveillance and passing a memorandum banning any ICE detention facilities would be a great next step

Everett’s mayor just issued new directives in response to future ICE presence:

• Officers are instructed to take action if they observe excessive force commited by ICE/CBP
• ICE prohibited from entering city owned areas
• Everett police are required to record interactions

Unfortunately Olympia is trying to remove our ability to submit records requests for Flock footage, allowing them to turn the cameras back on with little transparency from the public

app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...

“The city is concerned that the footage could endanger crime victims, Franklin said, including victims of domestic violence and stalking …The city is looking into appealing the ruling, Franklin said.“ (Everett Herald)

Maybe don’t create the footage in the first place? 🤷🏻‍♂️

NEW: Everett pauses Flock surveillance program

Hunts Point City Council meets next Monday on the 2nd. Protestors will take full advantage of the public comment period.

John Sabey is an executive of the Sabey Corporation, which is a local corporation planning to lease more office space to ICE

He’s also the Mayor of Hunts Point, a 457 population enclave where the average household income is $620,907

These are the true thieves profiting off the misery of others, in the same way GEO and Sabey profit from ICE contracts

The Freeman Family is one of the funders against the tax on those making over $1M a year

When Japanese people were placed in concentration camps during WW2, The Freeman Family snatched their land and developed properties like Bellevue Square

1000s of these people have comments that say “not a bot,” including Governor Bob Ferguson on row 4

“Not a bot” is something bots would definitely say

For instance the person “Tracy Huffman” signed her name nearly 141 times.

WA Republicans claim nearly 100k signed against the millionaires’ tax bill

What they failed to mention is that nearly 36k of those are bots

Last night in a unanimous 7-0 vote, Tukwila City Council approved a 6 month temporary ban on new detention centers

This wouldn’t apply to new ICE office in a building owned Sabey Data Centers. They gave $50K to Trump’s inauguration

Tomorrow there’s a protest at Sabey’s HQ in Tukwila, 4:30-6PM 

The first two stops along the one line also happen to be the first cities to cancel Flock

Let’s keep this trend going

Hoping Redmond is next!

Victory in #Lynnwood, WA! 🏆

The council just voted (7-0) in favor of terminating their #Flock contract! The item was moved up to the unanimous consent agenda by request of council member Mata given the expected result.

Great work @deflocklynnwood.bsky.social ! 👏
