HAPPENING NOW: @TPUSA students across the state of Washington are protesting masks in schools. Students are getting kicked out of buildings and threatened with suspensions.
“We are done wearing masks.”
Brave students here at Washougal High School in Southwest WA!
The scene at Washougal High School where students are holding the line. They said that they won’t be returning to class until the mask mandate is lifted. They question why WA is one of the last state’s in the country to do away with this policy.
Maddy Oerding, @TPUSA chapter President at Washougal High School, explains that administrators threatened to suspend her.
“I’m hoping that this will make a big impact and for them to realize that us, as students, are done with this.”
I am now at Union High School in SW WA where a group of students are also protesting wearing masks. This student-led movement has grown statewide!
“When you speak up for your freedoms, you’re going to be heard. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the parking lot or inside the school.”
THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES!
Students at Hockinson High School in SW WA entered their school without masks. Administrators kicked them out. They are holding the line outside the school.

WOW! IT KEEPS ON GROWING!
Young students at Amboy Middle School in SW Washington have been out protesting the mask requirements since Monday. Students told me they march around the field from 7:30am to 3:00pm. They won’t return until it’s lifted.
“Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.”
BATTLEGROUND HIGH SCHOOL! Saying “NO” to the mandates.

🧵The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will not be making a decision today in the Olympus Spa case.
The Seattle Korean female-only nude spa was found to have discriminated against a trans woman (biological male) in 2022 after it prohibited him from bathing naked with women.
The Washington Human Rights Commission previously ordered the spa to remove the phrase "biological women" off its website, have employees undergo "inclusivity" trainings, and permit trans women with fully-intact genitals into its female-only facilities.
Kevin Snider, an attorney for the spa, argued to the federal court that the Korean establishment's women-only policy should be protected under the First Amendment, citing its cultural protection laws.
Breaking — A large group of Antifa and Trantifa militants have gathered outside the Seattle Public Library.
They are trying to shut down a group of women advocating for biological men to stay out of women's-only spaces 🧵
Antifa has armed security patrolling every corner with walkie talkies.
One woman entered the library in tears after Antifa had her surrounded, calling her a "TERF."
I am reporting for @TPostMillennial
The group of women are holding a panel ahead of a court ruling tomorrow in the Ninth Circuit.
Olympus Spa is appealing a judge's order demanding the Korean women’s-only spa allow biological men (trans women) with fully-intact pen*ses bathe naked with the women in hot tubs.
Breaking — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has ordered the activation of the state's National Guard to support law enforcement in the case of civil unrest over the election
The letter reads: "Based upon general and specific information and concerns regarding the potential for violence or other unlawful activity related to the 2024 general election, I want to ensure we are fully prepared to respond to any potential additional civil unrest of the type described in RCW 38.08.040 occurring within Washington State leading up to, on, and potentially extending beyond November 5, 2024, the date of the 2024 general election."
