Doug Holland@lemmy.worldOPto Seattle@lemmy.world•Seattle, for people who aren't richEnglish2·23 hours agoI’m joyously carless! Thought about adding the briefest bus info, just a route number for every venue, but it’s work so it’ll take a while…
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'It's a cover up': Musk floods X with posts attacking Trump over EpsteinEnglish223·1 day agoIt doesn’t matter.
If someone unearthed video of Trump raping an 11-year-old, Republicans would love him even more, his approval ratings would go up, leaders on the “religious right” would explain that it’s all Biblical, and Trump would successfully sue for the profits from video sales.

Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey and prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein, is firedEnglish1·2 days agoIt’s not easy to shake off a lifetime of being told “Nobody’s above the law” and all that crap, but it is entirely crap. The rich and well-connected are miles above the law. It’s a miracle when any of them face justice, and it’s not happening in this case, certainly.

Doug Holland@lemmy.worldOPto Seattle@lemmy.world•Judge orders an end to nudity at Seattle’s Denny Blaine Park, for nowEnglish6·4 days agoLittle known Seattle factoid: City law allows you to be nude anywhere, any time. Not, however, if you flaunt it and make others uncomfortable.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldOPto Seattle@lemmy.world•This measure would make WA residents prove they are citizens when they register to voteEnglish3·4 days agoThat’s me they’re targeting, along with many, many others. I don’t have an “enhanced” ID, and won’t get one.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump urged supporters to see conspiracies everywhere. With Epstein, that's coming back to haunt himEnglish14·4 days agoOh, bullshit. His believers will believe what Trump tells them to believe.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto Seattle@lemmy.world•‘We are accountable to you’: Shon Barnes sworn in as new Seattle police chiefEnglish61·7 days agoI am skeptical, just because he’s a cop. That said, I lived in Madison when he became chief there, and he said all the right things and there were no major scandals, so … fingers crossed instead of the usual fingers flipped.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto Seattle@lemmy.world•Seattle’s mayor removed safety improvements from an “already watered-down” street project at the insistence of wealthy homeowners along the route.English11·8 days agoWhat money wants, money gets, especially when money owns the mayor. Give me Katie Wilson please.

Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Social Security Administration sends misleading email lauding Trump's new tax cuts lawEnglish191·14 days agoYeah, I got the Social Security scam/spam too. Probably everyone on Social Security got it.
It praises Congress for passing “the One Big, Beautiful Bill,” followed by a series of lies about the law’s impact, before ending with a wink and a nudge, claiming “Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public.”
In very small print at the bottom, it says, “This email was sent by the Social Security Administration, and was produced and disseminated at U.S. taxpayer expense.” There’s an ‘unsubscribe’ link, which, if clicked, probably cuts off your Social Security.

Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court hands Trump major win, limits judges’ ability to block birthright citizenship order nationwideEnglish11·22 days agoSay Trump announces that you’re not a citizen, that gay marriage doesn’t exist, that all women must give birth annually, whatever. If you’re victimized by it, and have the money or can find a freebie lawyer, maybe you sue the federal government, and maybe you win. But even if you win, you only win for you. The millions of others in exactly your same situation each need to file their own lawsuits, and hope to win. (Unless it’s a class action lawsuit, which involves separate and very, very difficult legal hurdles.)
If I’m understanding this wrong, and cripes I hope I am, please 'splain it to me.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court hands Trump major win, limits judges’ ability to block birthright citizenship order nationwideEnglish9·22 days agoOnly in the aftermath will we know which moment was the final toppling, but for now, I’d nominate this.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Fan banned by MLB after heckling Dbacks’ Marte to tears with barb about late mother, AP source saysEnglish7·23 days agoHuman decency is strange and rare, these days.
Dude fucked up. Dude got in trouble. Dude ought to be ashamed and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is. I don’t yearn to have the mob come after him.
Most of the perps doing most of the confessing are probably Catholic priests themselves.
