🧵Anti-Jewish animus strikes again. This morning just after midnight, the State House was set to vote on a bill that would improve Holocaust education in public schools. The bill had already passed unanimously out of committee, so no big deal. Right? RIGHT?
Except Rep. Emily Alvarado (D) dropped an amendment out of nowhere that R's weren't prepared to debate on (very out of line with procedure). The amendment is an exercise in Holocaust whataboutism: lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-…
The amendment argues the state must also "meaningfully" teach about other communities that "have lived experiences of surviving, being made refugee by, or otherwise being directly impacted by genocide."
HAPPENING NOW: This woman just crossed out a page of voter signatures at the Issaquah Costco, which is a gross misdemeanor. This comes amid Democrat-backed effort to harass and intimidate Let’s Go WA signature gatherers (black marks mine to protect voter info).🧵
The signature gatherer tells me he chased the woman as she ran inside and hid behind a Costco employee. He admits that he shouted at her. Costco called Issaquah police … on the signature gatherers. 🧵
The signature gatherers decided to pack up and leave. @IssaquahPolice spoke to them briefly (could not hear conversation). Not clear whether Costco will help police identify the woman who crossed out signatures. 🧵
The state of Washington knowingly hired Mark James, a 22-time felon, to work with vulnerable patients at Western State Hospital. "Well," you might argue, "everyone deserves a second chance!" And I agree - however ...
As @seanrobinson1e4 reported, James was hired just 13 DAYS after being booked on a fugitive warrant and 6 DAYS after being booked on new felony charges. And not only that...
The chief architect of Washington's controversial police pursuit law – @RepJesseJohnson – joined #unDivided for a lengthy discussion about crime and whether his bill had unintended consequences. WATCH: patreon.com/posts/un-divid…
Johnson and I also discussed his criticism of those who have pushed back against the bill – including some Democrats.
He also suggests law enforcement speaking out against the bill is a byproduct of "some police" being angry because "they can't go around killing people."
THREAD: Seattle doesn't have enough detectives to investigate RAPES. To blame anyone other than Democrats is media malpractice.
Even worse than that? The @SeattleTimes gave Progressives who are responsible for the police exodus a platform to complain about the lack of detectives like it's not their fault - I shit you not.
Meanwhile, voices of Republicans who warned about all of this are completely absent from the article. Go ahead, convince me the press isn't irreparably broken. I'll wait.
Classic victim mentality. Writer takes to Twitter to brag that he insulted @MrAndyNgo at a bar (because he's very mature). But when it turns out it *wasn't* actually Angy Ngo, he complains that *he's* the victim and not the random Asian dude he was an ass to in public?
