Nazis are universally considered bad. Brandi is so palpably offended by a Dead Kennedys shirt with a crossed-out swastika that she used it as a gotcha to show how "extreme" Thorns fans are.
What message do you take from that?

what a misleading headline - "[SPD] has had 18 vacant parking enforcement positions since 2020, and Mayor Katie Wilson’s budget proposal eliminates half of them"
what "revenue" are 9 of 18 vacant parking cop positions that have been open for 6 years generating exactly?? 🙄
ALT Wilson's cost-cutting may actually stop dollars from flowing back to the city. An analysis by the city's central staff does the math: Each parking enforcement officer costs the city about $115,000 in salary and benefits but typically writes enough tickets a year to generate $200,000 in revenue. That's an extra $85,000 per officer, which means the city will lose about $765,000 a year by cutting those nine positions. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/why-isnt-seattle-hiring-parking-enforcement-officers-if-they-make-money/
As one of the few revenue-generating city jobs, parking enforcement officers should be a budget writer's best friend. Not this year. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…
Bold pro-Nazi stance from Brandi.
These are the shirts allowed for the @ThornsFC fans. None of them were removed. They have chants about burning people alive. Fans assaulted multiple people wearing @xx_xyathletics shirts. None of them were removed. I am quite literally in shock.

🚨 Andrea Smith-Taylor went on a Christmas Eve shopping spree in 2024 for her kids, but police arrested her that night, sending her home empty handed. Two years later, gifts like a PlayStation and clothes have never been returned.
“We have not been able to find them, so she was forced to tell her children that those gifts were just gone,” said her attorney, Anca Grigore, director of the Brooklyn Defender Services’ seizure and surveillance defense project.
Smith-Taylor is one of six plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit filed against the city this week. They all claiming their property was improperly seized, retained, sold, destroyed or otherwise never returned.
The Brooklyn Defenders, which filed the lawsuit Wednesday, said hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers have their property seized by the NYPD each year in connection with an arrest or as a witness or victim of an alleged crime.
When people try to get their belongs—like cash, electronics and jewelry—returned, they face a "labyrinthian system of contradictory instructions, arbitrary requirements, and dead ends across precincts, property clerk offices, and auto pounds,” the Brooklyn Defenders said.
“New Yorkers are losing their property to the tune of tens of millions of dollars every single year to the NYPD,” said Grigore.
She said bodycam footage showed officers assuring Smith-Taylor they'd get those gifts to her kids, but they never made it.
“They're completely lost to the system,” Grigore said, adding the City's current process “functions more to deprive New Yorkers of their property than to ensure that New Yorkers get their property back.”
An NYPD spokesperson said the department would review the lawsuit and that the incidents described in it were also under review.

Had the privilege of talking to members of the Massage Parlor Organizing Project, which is fighting on behalf of hundreds of working class migrant Asian women across the Seattle region. The group will be honored tonight at @iexaminer's annual gala:

Grok, draw a shitty cartoon of Katie Wilson, but make it look nothing like Katie Wilson, but also label it "Mayor Katie Wilson" so everyone will know it's Katie Wilson.
Whelp, that does it. They made a big bust, and fentanyl will no longer be cheap and plentiful in the CID.
Hurrah for the good guys! Hurrah!

UW looked at 46,000 cases across 32 jurisdictions over 13 years.
They found pretrial juvenile detention increased the odds of felony recidivism in the next year by 33%.
The odds increased by 1% per day detained. You’re not making the world safer with bad policy
Probably didn't know who Zapata was or what he was about.
He just thought: "Hey, I should get a tattoo of the cool mustache guy from all the Mexican food restaurants."
