Just went through spam and saw a pile of emails from Dawn Mason, a longtime Bruce Harrell ally he brought onstage at his election party, calling me "white trash" and a "petty thief," and claiming I went to her house one time univited (a bizarre falsehood she keeps repeating.) Such strange behavior.

For years we've had endless weepy articles about boys/men are sad, lonely, not having sex, fear being falsely accused, are being left behind, but you know what's been crickets? Girls' mental health.

You probably won't be surprised to learn that the Times editorial board never came close to suggesting Mike McGinn, like mayor-elect Katie Wilson a transit-oriented lefty, was a foolish little nitwit who doesn't even know who runs the transit agency.
just casual sexism to undermine a woman’s knowledge
double whammy she’s not a corporate cheerleader

The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilson—mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)—doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell often touts the city's commitment that police will never help federal anti-immigration efforts, but it's easy to see how the federal government can outplay local "sanctuary city" laws if a city collaborates with the Trump Administration on things like "drug enforcement."

This was Harrell's opening argument when he ran for mayor—"I will eliminate encampments so my comfortably housed supporters won't have to see them"—and it's his closing argument now as he seeks a second term. As another testimonial puts it, he "cleaned up the mess" with four years of sweeps.

This is why I've been pro-abortion since I was a child & why I've come to resent the "allies" who attempt to make concessions on bodily autonomy in hopes forced-birthers will become reasonable bigots allowing us a little reproductive freedom as a treat.

There's really nothing less "evidence-based" or fair than a program that lets random residents decide whether you get housing based on vibes. There's nothing less supportive than kicking people out of their housing because they relapse (a primary condition of addiction) with no assistance or notice.

Like everything in US culture that was visible but somewhat implicit, this has been blown out & made theatrically, inescapably obvious in the era of Trump. Trump's a white wealthy male who was a failure & a fuckup *from the beginning & at every stage*, yet the system still delivered him the rewards.

Seattle's mayor, Bruce Harrell, has blamed other cities for homeless people here, using the classic "these people aren't from here" line. It really is a straight line from there to "let's move them to a site outside the city."
