Seattle’s newly installed Communist Mayor Katie Wilson has effectively ordered the police to stand down on open drug use, turning the once-vibrant Emerald City into a dystopian nightmare of needles, overdoses, and unchecked criminality.
This is what happens when Democrats hand the keys to power-hungry socialists who hate law and order – total chaos!
Wilson, a self-described democratic socialist and co-founder of the Transit Riders Union, was sworn in Friday as Seattle’s 58th mayor after defeating incumbent Bruce Harrell in the November 2025 election.
Almost immediately, an internal order from the Seattle Police Department set off alarm bells across the city.
According to an internal New Year’s Day email from SPD Chief Shon Barnes, officers are now instructed to divert all drug possession and use cases away from prosecution and into the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program.
Under the policy, drug offenders who refuse LEAD may eventually face prosecutorial review.
The program excludes drug dealers, violent felons, sex offenders, and individuals under Department of Corrections supervision, but everyday public drug use is now functionally tolerated unless officers decide it rises to a “priority situation.”
