ASIAN MEN BEWARE: It’s a good thing the Asian American Journalists Association Convention @aaja won’t be in New Orleans this year. @thor_benson and some of his followers are going after Asian guys who look like @MrAndyNgo
But they got the wrong Asian. 😂 #StopAsianHate #AAJA

@MrAndyNgo

INCREDIBLY TROUBLING: Extremists continue to target @MrAndyNgo for his reporting. But if you’re gonna racially profile someone, please get it right. @thor_benson got the wrong Asian. 😂👇🏽 #StopAsianHate #WrongAsian

@AAJAmales

HEADS UP #AAJA MEN: It’s hard enough being a minority male journo. @AAJAmales @tihuachang @CeFaanKim @RaviSF @ChenueHer @RyanLeong @RyanKPIX @ArchithNEWS @shawnchitnis @UpWithTim @abc7davidono @EricHorngABC7 @Michael7News @TheHoChen @NewsWithKevin @BrianFloresTV @BradyWakayama

@thor_benson

NEVER MET HIM: I don’t know @thor_benson or any of his followers who are targeting @MrAndyNgo
But I’m calling on all communities to condemn violence or harassment against journalists, especially Asian men. @CorinneIOZO @TracyConnor @AAJA #StopAsianHate

@thor_benson

HE KILLED THE CONVO: I DM’d @thor_benson but he blocked me. So my question is, why are you racially profiling Asian American men? You got the wrong @MrAndyNgo #WrongAsian #StopAsianHate @AAJAmales @aaja

@thor_benson

SMALL FRATERNITY: Turn on your tv sets tonight. Or read the byline in your local paper. How many Asian male names do you see? So when @thor_benson or anyone else goes after @MrAndyNgo because of his race or ethnicity, it’s an attack on all of us. @aaja @aajamales #StopAsianHate

@TVYipster

ASIAN MEN WATCH YOUR BACK: @TVYipster @kazukiakiba @louie_tran @Mike_Yam @ByMattStevens @seankjensen @JamesDKoh @kurtbardella @CaryChow_

@thor_benson

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR: It goes without saying. @thor_benson is allowed to express his opinion and is entitled to freedom of speech in America. No one should be threatening him or harassing him either if they disagree with his take. I’m condemning that as well. #StopAsianHate

@AAPICommission

ASIAN AMERICAN ADVOCATES AND PARTNERS: We gotta #StopAsianHate against journalists.

EXCLUSIVE: In February I exposed a nightmare of drugs, crime, chaos, and death inside some of Plymouth Housing's taxpayer funded apartments for the homeless. But their leaders ignored all my questions about accountability. So I confronted them at their annual gala and they ran.🧵

Why are @amazon, @Microsoft, @Starbucks, @DeltaDentalWA, @pagliaccipizza, @AvalonBay, @Goodman_RE, and Brettler Family Foundation funding meth pipes and drug supplies in Plymouth Housing facilities without any requirements to get addiction treatment?

I've also obtained hundreds of 911 call logs to the newest Plymouth Housing facility in Bellevue that opened at the end of last year. Same problems including deaths, drug overdoses, and crime. I was recently accosted by a resident.
I will be launching that story in the coming weeks.

BREAKING: An absolutely devastating blow to King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) and Sheriff Patti-Cole Tindall. A judge tossed their lawsuit against the city of Burien that questioned the constitutionality of the city's public camping ordinance. Right after today's decision, Mayor Kevin Schilling spoke to me about the implications. 🧵👇

Now that King County has been ordered to enforce the camping ban, it's still unclear when officers will start sweeping encampments. Making matters worse for King County, Burien is still suing for breach of contract and that's winding it's way through the courts.

STATEMENT FROM CITY:
burienwa.gov/news_events/ci…

After this massive loss, Constantine's leadership, reputation, and legacy on addressing the homeless crisis is cooked.
At this point, his "Housing First," "harm reduction," and no sweeps policies must be further questioned and scrutinized. His alignment with far-left ideology has decimated the community he is supposed to serve. @kcexec

BREAKING: Controversial homeless housing provider Plymouth Housing will now be running operations at the former Kirkland La Quinta Inn on 10530 Northup Way. Despite major opposition, the city council voted unanimously to allow it into the community. 🧵👇

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1638156786246221826/video/1

Under King County's "Health Through Housing," neighbors expressed concerns about hardcore drug use and other problems spilling into the community. That's because Plymouth subscribes to the low barrier "housing first" model where addicts are not required to get treatment.

King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci is applauding this move in her district.
Today's press release did not indicate when the Kirkland location would open.

VICIOUS ATTACK: Two homeless men violently assaulted me Wednesday afternoon outside King County Executive Dow Constantine's sanctioned homeless encampment in Burien.
This blight is being blamed for sex trafficking, thefts, drug OD's, and is home to an accused murder suspect. 🧵👇

It's unclear if my attackers live in the encampment or were just passing through. Cops took a police report from me and went to find these lunatics. But no one would snitch.
If you have any information, please DM me or call Burien Police.

The one silver lining, Kristine Moreland and her outreach group The More We Love just rescued two young children from this camp on Tuesday. Campers say numerous kids have passed through since Dow set up this camp just a few weeks ago. @kmmoreland

I just confronted a homeless fentanyl addict ransacking the Target store inside the Bellevue Marketplace at Factoria. I watched him fill his cart with stolen items and walk out. Workers say this happens daily. Mall security eventually stopped him but did not call cops to arrest him. Now you know why everyday household items are locked up. All part of doing business in lawless King County.

Mr. sticky fingers says he's homeless and lives on the streets of Seattle. Mall workers say he's been spotted in Bellevue before and likely uses public transportation to go back and forth. Aside from the braided hair, he's missing a few teeth and has a tattoo on his right hand.

Dude is sporting a jacket with a red pentagram drawn with a marker.

Alleged con man Steve Hickey could be facing disciplinary action or even stripped of his role as King County Fire Commissioner. The District #47 board will meet Tuesday at 7pm in Ravensdale to decide his fate. Hickey has been under investigation and on leave after multiple first responders accused him of abusing his power on the job. Some say Hickey demonstrated bad judgement when he prioritized live streaming on his social media platforms over the safety of patients in need.

Tuesday's Board Meeting will be held at Station 88 in Ravensdale from 7pm-9pm. More details below. The public is welcome and the room is expected to be packed with Hickey's critics.
