While this is a move in the right direction, I’ll remind you all that Bruce Harrell is a pretty terrible corporate democrat with a lousy track record as mayor these past four years. Vote Katie Wilson if you want an actual progressive.
exactly, this is performative. I do not think Harrell would actually confront this situation, and I highly suspect SPD would stymie any legit attempt to protect seattleites from ICE.
Yep, lived under this guy for a bit, made some surprising decisions immediately after getting elected in, like allowing a christian festival with clear links to gay conversion play in my beloved, very queer neighborhood of cap hill.
Fully agree. He’s doing a lot of easy wins right now to make it seem like he’s good, but they’re all because he’s in an election race. Remember how he did fuck all while third ave deteriorated and stores closed.
He sees the writing on the wall (what with him getting thoroughly trounced in the primary) and now he’s desperate to do anything to turn things around.
