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! Image
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. Image

Breaking: I am in Seattle covering the first major trial against the city related to the 2020 Antifa-BLM CHAZ/CHOP.

The City of Seattle is accused of negligence in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Antonio Mays Jr., a 16-year-old black teen who was shot dead inside the Antifa autonomous zone.

Seattle Police had abandoned the East Precinct to rioters, and then officers were prohibited from entering the zone— resulting in numerous cold-blooded killings during the 24 days of sustained violent anarchy.

The lawsuit claims that the city’s failure to provide adequate protection and response to violence in the CHAZ zone contributed to the death of Antonio Mays Jr.

Would the teen still be alive if SPD didn’t forfeit the precinct? Was CHAZ really a “Summer of love?”

I am covering the trial for @TPostMillennial — THREAD: 🧵Image
Antonio Mays Jr. was shot dead on June 29 around 3 am while driving a vehicle inside the CHAZ with his 14-year-old friend, who was shot in the head but survived.
Witnesses reported that armed protesters guarding the barricades (CHAZ security) opened fire on the vehicle.

Video footage taken directly after the shooting shows militant protesters rushing to pick up spent shell casings, tampering with the evidence:

“Hell yeah, no evidence!”

🚨 The inevitable happened last night— I have been reporting on this Portland wheelchair faker for months.

Antifa uses tactics that involves putting “disabled” people on the frontlines to make it appear police officers are abusing them/using excessive force.

I have captured this wheelchair bound Antifa militant walking around outside the ICE facility several times.
