WORST KEPT SECRET: For months I have been tracking illegal sales+trade of EBT(food stamp)cards in #Seattle's Little Saigon. Little did I know, @SeattlePD was also investigating. They just made a HUGE BUST. Another win for @MayorofSeattle. Story launching soon. Here's PREVIEW.🧵👇🏽
BUSTED: Authorities say 56 year old Cuong Van Nguyen and 51 year old Queyen Tran set up in Lams Seafood parking lot, targeting HOMELESS people+drug addicts. Vietnamese duo allegedly offered FENTANYL in exchange for EBT cards or bought food stamps for pennies on dollar. #Seattle
IN COURT: I just missed Nguyen's first appearance but caught tail end of Tran's. The duo was arrested in their home, authorities say they found 1000 fentanyl pills, 200 grams of cocaine, heroin, and a pistol. Back in court December 22. #Seattle
CRAZY STATS: Look at all the action happening at 3rd Ave/Pike+area near 12th and Jackson. @SeattlePD and partner agencies making progress.#Seattle@MayorofSeattle

#EXCLUSIVE: An Eastside mother was brutally assaulted Monday morning by a mob of Issaquah High School students during an anti-ICE classroom walkout.
She says it was totally unprovoked and the cops just watched it all go down without intervening.
This victim fears retaliation so she didn't want me to use her name for this interview.
But this mom is speaking out now to warn parents and school leaders about the massive safety risks around these unsanctioned pop-up protests. 🧵👇

Last week a Seattle middle school student fell into a lake during an anti-ICE classroom walkout.
#BREAKING: Parents say a 12-year-old Hamilton International Middle School student fell into the water during an anti-ICE protest.
This incident happened Thursday afternoon in Seattle along W. Green Lake Way N. near the Aqua Theater.
Authorities say the boy struggled to make it out of the water but was eventually taken away on a stretcher.
Unclear if any teachers or parents were present during this classroom walkout.
Once again, student safety has been compromised for the sake of activism.
@SeaPubSchools has some explaining to do. 🧵👇🏽
Here is the narrative from Seattle Fire.
Students ended the protest and are now heading back to the school.
NEW: Bellevue parents better wake up. A communist group is trying to infiltrate several public high schools in WA and is now mobilizing students for a direct action against ICE officers.
None of this is student led or organic. 🧵👇🏽
According to social media posts, a group called Puget Sound Revolutionary Youth is the mastermind behind this Eastside social unrest.
These far-left activists are trying to indoctrinate the next generation with commie propaganda.
NEW: University of Washington Professor Ann Ishimaru is leading the charge against ICE raids in her Seattle neighborhood. The woke educator wants other parents to join her cause and it appears she's organizing on Signal chat groups. 🧵👇

Ishimaru is getting the word out through the Hamilton International Middle School Parents Facebook page.
This Seattle public school is in the Wallingford neighborhood.
According to her post, she got activated after recent reports of ICE agents near schools.
The UW professor says there are "whistle kit parties, trainings, and plans."
NEW: Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson(@wilsonformayor) has an Islam problem on her hands. Or if you ask the Muslims, she has an LGBTQ+ crisis in her city.
Egypt and Iran are blasting the so called "Pride Match" next year when the FIFA World Cup comes to Lumen Field. 🧵👇
Mehdi Taj, the president of the Iran Football Federation: “Both Egypt and we have objected, because this is an unreasonable and illogical move that essentially signals support for a particular group, and we must definitely address this point.”
Iran and Egypt argue that the Pride event contradicts their cultural and religious values. Both countries criminalize gay relationships and in Iran it is punishable by the death penalty.
In some instances, they throw homosexuals off rooftops.
NEW: The Trump administration is cracking down on Antifa criminals and going after their covert network of funders. But investigators are also being urged to scrutinize the underground subculture where militants plan, recruit, and hide in plain sight. 🧵👇
@DrKarlynB and I infiltrated the Bay Area Anarchists Book Fair over the weekend. You get more than a good read if you show up. Look at some of these panels.
