The Seattle Times reported that Dones accepted the job. Dones, KOMO reported, had been contracted by Seattle to work to build the RHA before being offered to run the agency after the board overseeing the agency\u2019s first choice, Regina Cannon of Atlanta, declined the position.<\/p>\n<p>KOMO reported that Dones\u2019 position \u201ccould set the agenda for how the region responds to one of the most pressing problems in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not mentioned in the KOMO article is the fact that Dones has advocated for abolishing capitalism in favor of communism and called for defunding the police and prisons. The Post Millennial <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/communist-activist-who-favors-abolishing-prisons-and-defunding-police-to-be-seattles-homelessness-czar\">reported<\/a> that NIS, the organization Dones currently leads, says on its website that it aims to \u201cfundamentally transform the structures and outcomes of America\u2019s public systems,\u201d because \u201cWe know that our systems are built on the foundation of structural racism, which drives these cycles of failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seattle, the Millennial reported, has been in the midst of a \u201chomelessness crisis\u201d for more than a decade, with thousands living \u201con the streets and in growing tent encampments since the outbreak of the coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the Millennial:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16.542307692308\">\n<p><em>In April of 2020, Dones tweeted, \u201cLet me remind you that it is never too late to pivot society towards full scale luxury communism.\u201d The term is based on a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/luxurycommunism.com\/about\/\">book by Aaron Bastani<\/a>&nbsp;which calls for \u201cautomation,\u201d as \u201cthe path to a world of liberty, luxury and happiness.\u201d He also advocated for no more fossil fuels and instead mankind should mine asteroids for essential minerals. Bastani also call for \u201cGenetic editing and synthetic biology\u201d to \u201cprolong life\u201d and \u201cvirtually eliminate disease\u201d and eventually hoped to \u201cprovide meat without animals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While Dones claims to be a champion of racial equality, he is also championing a person like Bastani has posted vile anti Semitic rhetoric and supported radical anti Semitic politicians like Jeremy Corbyn.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Further, the outlet reported, Dones \u201chas repeatedly called for the abolition of police departments across the country and supported the Minneapolis City Council decision to defund their police department which led to an exponential increase in crime. The spike was so devastating that the council voted to refund the police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seattle also has seen a spike in crime after the city council defunded its police department, with homicides doubling in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>While claiming to be pro-communism, Dones will be earning an estimated salary of $130,000 for the position. He also received hundreds of thousands of dollars from his alleged father, basketball star Isiah Thomas, the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2006\/01\/29\/isiah-pays-dearly-for-love-child-born-after-his-nuptials\/\">reported<\/a>. Dones received $52,000 from a 1987 settlement with the former basketball player and nearly $3,000 a month until he turned 18, when he received a lump sum of $100,000.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
