Republican state representative Matt Shea writes manifesto for genocidal Christian holy war.

"If they do not yield—kill all males."

spokesman.com/stories/2018/o…
Shea is running for a fifth term. Rolling Stone ran a profile of him last week, unpacking how his extremism has stayed under the radar until now. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Genocidal Republican state rep Matt Shea has the support of his county GOP organization, and US Rep @cathymcmorris sought and received his endorsement this summer. spokesman.com/stories/2018/a…
Here's Shea's opponent in the upcoming election, Ted Cummings: @TedforWA. spokesmanreview.wa.newsmemory.com/publink.php?sh…
The story on WA state rep Matt Shea's blueprint for genocidal holy war broke in the Tacoma Spokesman-Review five days ago. As far as I can tell it's received no national news coverage. Zero.
Spokane Public Radio reached out to Matt Shea's institutional donors this week. Only one has asked for their donation back. Others, including @washrealtors and @BNSFRailway, had no comment. spokanepublicradio.org/post/shea-camp…
No word from the state GOP as to whether Matt Shea will be stripped of his leadership role in the state leg, either—he's currently the third ranking member in leg GOP leadership.
(In one of the tweets above I said "Tacoma" when I meant "Spokane." Sorry about that. This is an Eastern Washington story.)
Eastern Washington, like northern Idaho, which it borders, is generally very conservative. But the region has strong progressive traditions, too. @TedforWA isn't an outlier, and he deserves support.
You can donate to @TedforWA here, and help get the word out in the closing stretch. secure.anedot.com/tedforwashingt…
Update: @Boeing has also donated to the re-election campaign of Matt Shea, WA state leg planning for genocidal holy war. They declined to comment when asked about it. spokesman.com/stories/2018/o…
First national news piece on Matt Shea, the WA state rep who wrote that the bible says to "kill all males" who refuse to support his side in the coming Christian holy war. nydailynews.com/news/ny-news-s…
Also, GOP House member @cathymcmorris (#WA05) still hasn't commented on state leg Matt Shea's call to "kill all males" who refuse to accept his interpretation of the Bible. She sought and received Shea's endorsement for re-election this summer.
And again, if you believe that "kill[ing] all males" who support abortion rights and gay rights would be a bad idea, you can support Matt Shea's opponent, @TedforWA, here: secure.anedot.com/tedforwashingt…

A weird tack for a guy whose whole pitch is his elder-statesman avuncularity to take. "I don't want to run, but all the kids in the race are crap, so here I am" is the opposite of the tone I'd have expected him to set.
Just a reminder that his instincts for primary-race messaging have never been any good, I guess.
"We have a great, deep field, and I'm honored to be running alongside this crew. Whichever of us wins the nomination would be a far better president than Trump, and if it's not me, I'll be working night and day to be sure they get to prove it" is Biden's natural lane right now.

One more thing on youth voting: There are a lot of folks in my mentions saying kids aren’t cognitively developed enough to vote. But it’s not clear to me what that means.
At 12, the typical kid is more than able to meet baseline standards for voting—understanding what an election is, learning about candidates, managing the act of voting.
When we bar kids from making choices they’re not mature enough to make, it’s generally because we’re worried that they’ll do harm to themselves or others if allowed to choose.

Just saw something on my feed that reminded me to remind you that if you’re a NYC (or vicinity) high school or middle school teacher and you’d like me to come talk to your students, all you have to do is say so and I’ll be there.
I've spoken with NYC middle school students about the history of youth activism, how they can make change themselves, whether we should lower the voting age—all sorts of stuff. And the conversations are always really lively.
And because it's so much fun, and because it's a subway ride away, and because I know that y'all don't have budgets for this stuff, I'm happy to do it for free. So shoot me a message if you want to set it up.

This is flying under the radar & needs attention.
Spokane, WA State House rep Matt Shea wrote a Genocidal Manifesto stating under biblical law, “If they do not yield—kill all males.”

[He’s]trying to create a libertarian utopia, a 51st state called Liberty
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Court docs from his ex-wife: Matt Shea treated her "as a possession," was physically & emotionally abusive” & refused to seek employment.

His military service shows he had anger management issues.

He pulled a gun on a motorist in an altercation.

👉 spokesman.com/documents/2018…
By the way & to the surprise of no one @cathymcmorris (R-Moscow) endorses Matt Shea. But then McMorris has a history of siding with Nationalists* including 98% w/Trump.

Here she is with Nazi James Allsup whom she later said she was “disappointed in.”

"It's a radical Christian call to arms, outlining 14 steps for seizing power and what to do afterward. It calls for an end to abortions, an end to same-sex marriage, and if enemies do not yield and everyone obey biblical law, all males will be killed." khq.com/story/39387853…
Rep. Matt Shea takes credit, criticism for document titled ‘Biblical Basis for War’ spokesman.com/stories/2018/o…
“The document Mr. Shea wrote is not a Sunday school project or an academic study. It is a ‘how to’ manual consistent with the ideology and operating philosophy of the Christian Identity/Aryan Nations movement and the Redoubt movement of the 1990s.”
