BREAKING: Seattle Organizer-in-Chief Kshama Sawant joined the pod this week to talk about the Seattle City Council's latest attempt to make your life worse, and how you can help her to prevent a significant roll back of renter's rights. We're talking the $10 late fee cap, notice about rental increases, and limits on move in fees. All of this is actively at risk RIGHT NOW. With no Seattle Council Member even attempting to organize an effective pushback to this Council's assault on renters, Kshama has to step up. Join her at 2 pm Tuesday at Seattle City Hall.
Other pod topics this week: Relitigating the naming of the Jumpstart Tax (Burner style is now "The Amazon Tax,") Cops in Seattle Public Schools, and Rainbow washing the Seattle Police Department.
