#EXCLUSIVE: After he tried to dodge me TODAY, I confronted Dr. Dat Nguyen, owner of building that could be home to controversial #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC. Biz owners in area including his tenant are asking Nguyen to reconsider deal w/Acadia Healthcare. @WADeptHealth @GovInslee🧵👇🏽
MASSIVE PROTEST: After multiple pleas with @WADeptHealth, Acadia Healthcare, and even City of #Lynnwood, coalition of neighbors and community stakeholders are protesting on Saturday. This will be one of many according to organizers. They are promising a PR nightmare. @GovInslee
LATEST FROM DOH: @WADeptHealth sent out response to community concerns over proposed #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC that would be few hundred feet from Alderwood Boys & Girls Club. DOH being put on BLAST by neighbors. @LynnwoodTimes about to drop more details!

doh.wa.gov/licenses-permi…
MAJOR SUPPORT: Protest organizers say @KCGOP, #Lynnwood Council Members, and other allies are mobilizing against OPIOID CLINIC. But even @WADeptHealth, Acadia Healthcare, and those advocating for clinic like @laurendavisWA have been invited to rally. Unclear if they will show.
IN YOUR FACE: Tense moments during Monday's #Lynnwood council meeting. Residents confronting Acadia Healthcare rep telling him not to open controversial OPIOID CLINIC. @WADeptHealth+state leaders also being called out. Wild! @GovInslee
@WADeptHealth @GovInslee PUT ON BLAST: On Monday, #Lynnwood Council Member George Hurst personally calling out @WADeptHealth, accusing agency of bungling communication over OPIOID CLINIC saying,"It was a deliberate attempt to tamp down public comments." @GovInslee
MASSIVE FIGHT: #Lynnwood council gave Acadia Healthcare+@WADeptHealth an out. Don't open OPIOID CLINIC. Otherwise, residents plan on launching FEROCIOUS FIGHT and it will become a PR disaster and mess for state officials.@GovInslee
DID HIS HOMEWORK: #Lynnwood neighbor Yucong He laid out case against Acadia Healthcare w/company's history of fines and settlements. This is citizen journalism in action. Neighbors now asking @WADeptHealth to carefully scrutinize this corporation.
MAJORITY OF COUNCIL AGAINST OPIOID CLINIC: Council Member Patrick Decker making argument earlier this month against Acadia Healthcare and CLINIC near Boys & Girls Club. Opponents frame company as greedy corporation. @GovInslee @WADeptHealth
WHAT IS ACADIA HEALTHCARE? Nation's largest operator of "behavioral health" centers. If allowed to come in by @WADeptHealth, officials say it would be #Lynnwood's only clinic providing METHADONE. City treatment centers DO NOT provide this drug.@GovInslee
FRAUD SETTLEMENT: Like other massive corporations, Acadia Healthcare has run into issues in past. Company paid 17 million bucks to West Virginia, largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of state.
@WADeptHealth @lynnwood @GovInslee #Lynnwood

WHY CLINIC IS NEEDED: Here's case for clinic at proposed site.
@GovInslee @WADeptHealth
#LYNNWOOD COUNCIL CONSENSUS: Council agrees treatment is vital for addicts. But debate is over LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. City council is 100% against this clinic coming into office building at 2322 196TH ST SW. @WADeptHealth
CONFUSION AND FINGER POINTING: @WADeptHealth held public input meeting during holidays when people were out. Once #Lynnwood's Alderwood community found out, fight was on. It's now on DOH. Opioid center is scheduled to open end of Jan. Will it be delayed?
TIMELINE: All permitting is on @WADeptHealth. That's just way law is written in Washington state.
@lynnwood council is powerless to stop opioid clinic, but seeking options. Regardless, residents say they're launching MASSIVE FIGHT. @govinslee #Lynnwood
lynnwoodtimes.com/2023/01/05/aca…
OVERWHELMING RESULTS: @WADeptHealth deciding on future of OPIOID clinic scheduled to open next to Alderwood Boys and Girls Club later this month. While #Lynnwood council’s power to stop it is limited, community is planning MULTIPLE PROTESTS.
@GovInslee
BOMBSHELL: #Lynnwood issues Certificate of Occupancy for opioid treatment center. City staff being accused of bungling communication and failing to disclose this vital piece of information. Unclear how this impacts @WADeptHealth decision to permit or not.

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. 🧵👇 Image
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.” Image
Image
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. Image

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.

#EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Plymouth Housing(@PlymouthHousing) CEO Karen Lee is doing damage control after our series of reports highlighting all the crime, chaos, and death in her Bellevue, WA facility. I have obtained an email Lee recently sent to Bellevue councilmembers.
Based on her talking points and spin, she appears to think they're gullible and stupid. @bellevuewa @BvuePD 🧵👇Image
Image
PAGE 1

Lee claims some of the content about Plymouth contains misinformation or misleading characterizations. But she fails to call out specifics and also does not name the news organization or social media accounts. Image
PAGE 2

She then goes on to say the Plymouth model works and tries to prove her point by citing debunked studies from liberal academics. However, Lee once again fails to mention all the crime, chaos, and death associated with this model. King County's own data now shows there are now more people dying of drug overdoses behind closed doors in permanent supportive housing then on the streets.Image

NEW: Bellevue's Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus continues to be a cancer on the community.
On Sunday, a non-verbal Plymouth resident allegedly made terroristic threats.
He scribbled on the wall that he would shoot staff with a pistol and held a weapon in his hand.🧵👇
Cops later determined the "weapon" was actually a lighter. They arrested him on the spot.
Witnesses say the man is Merrell James Gorham and is wheelchair bound. He is known for spitting and kicking people. He's also been trespassed at numerous area businesses. @PlymouthHousing Image
Image
@PlymouthHousing This Bellevue homeless campus in the Eastgate neighborhood has turned into one of the most problematic hotspots in the city. It leads the entire city in 911 calls.
A homeless murder suspect with ties to Porchlight is still on the loose. @PorchLightCares

#BREAKING: Violent far-left activist Alex Randall has created a hit-list of what he calls “RIGHTWING GRIFTERS, Doxxers, and Harassers,” operating in Seattle. He posted it on his @Youtube page on Saturday but then took it down for some reason. Our spies did manage to get a copy and screen shot of the post.
Either way, the Nordstrom(@Nordstrom) employee went on unhinged rants about conservatives and encouraged his followers to target certain independent journalists.
🧵👇🏽Image
Making the list:

-Jonathan Choe(@choeshow)
-Matthew Adams(@jerkinyourchain)
-Cam Higby(@camhigby)
-Katie Daviscourt(@KatieDaviscourt)
-Brandi Kruse(@BrandiKruse)
-Chelly Bouferrache(@hunnybadgermom)
-Jessica McClure
-Mark Willams
-Stealth Productions
-Bennett Haselton
@jerkinyourchain @camhigby @KatieDaviscourt @BrandiKruse @hunnybadgermom Randall’s playbook is simple. He targets people he doesn’t like and just yells at them, hoping they cower in fear. He records his encounters and then posts them on @YouTube with unhinged hot takes. Rinse and repeat.

#BREAKING: President Trump will sign an executive order that will start to defund and dismantle the failed Housing First policy that has led to record homelessness in America, especially in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, and LA.
I’m proud to say our research and journalism at Discovery Insitutute(@DiscoveryCWP) played a crucial role in this major development. 🧵👇🏽Image
Image
Sources in the White House also tell me the executive order will strip federal funding for “harm reduction” initiatives that have enabled record drug overdose deaths. This is a worst case scenario for needle exchanges and the “homeless industrial complex.” Image
No more federal funding for “permanent supportive housing.”
Instead, all that money will now be put toward short term shelters, addiction treatment, and detox.
This executive order undercuts the entire business models for places like DESC and Plymouth Housing.
