@WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth @GovInslee @lynnwood MORE PROTESTS ON WAY: @safeLynnwood coalition worried methadone clinic will attract drug dealers, more crime, and homelessness. They're also trying to find out if any clients are registered sex offenders. #Lynnwood

@WADeptHealth @GovInslee @lynnwood

@laurendavisWA

FACE TO FACE: Meanwhile @laurendavisWA continues to take criticism for supporting project. But she's pushing back and making her case for controversial OPIOID CLINIC. I give her credit for addressing constituent conerns.#Lynnwood
@WADeptHealth @GovInslee

@laurendavisWA

@laurendavisWA @WADeptHealth @GovInslee MORE ON WAY: Demonstrators say they are for treatment, but wondering why @WADeptHealth did not require Acadia Healthcare to move to another part of #Lynnwood without so many kids.
@Lynnwood Mayor Cristine Frizzle for not putting up a fight. @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

COUNCIL CONSENSUS: #Lynnwood Council Member Julieta Altamirano-Crosby says they are 100% against Acadia Healthcare clinic, disappointed in
@WADeptHealth decision, and shocked by total disregard for WILL OF PEOPLE by WA state leaders. @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth @GovInslee PARKING+SECURITY ISSUES: Dr. David Buck is lone tenant inside building that is now home to OPIOID CLINIC. He says it would be a logistical nightmare for patients and claims Acadia Healthcare would do a bait and switch w/private security.
@WADeptHealth

@BGClubsSC

BOYS & GIRLS CLUB ON OFFENSIVE:
@BGClubsSC CRUSHING Acadia Healthcare+
@WADeptHealth for failing to do proper outreach, bungling communication, +putting KIDS SAFETY at risk w/OPIOD CLINIC. I walked to club from proposed site in less than 3 min. #Lynnwood

@WADeptHealth

#EXCLUSIVE: I confronted Dr. Dat Nguyen, owner of building that will now be home to controversial #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC. Biz owners in area including his tenant wanted Nguyen to reconsider deal w/Acadia Healthcare. He refused.
@WADeptHealth @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

IN YOUR FACE: Tense moments during recent #Lynnwood council meeting. Residents confronting Acadia Healthcare rep telling him not to open controversial OPIOID CLINIC.
@WADeptHealth+state leaders also being called out. @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

PUT ON BLAST: #Lynnwood Council Prez George Hurst personally calling out @WADeptHealth accusing state agency of bungling communication over OPIOID CLINIC saying, "It was a deliberate attempt to tamp down public comments." @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

HE DID HIS HOMEWORK: #Lynnwood neighbor Yucong He laid out case against Acadia Healthcare with company's history of fines and settlements. Neighbors were hoping @WADeptHealth would consider this heavily in decision making process.

@WADeptHealth

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
justice.gov/usao-sdwv/pr/u…

@WADeptHealth

INITIAL SHOCK: Community outrage all started end of December when @WADeptHealth held public input meeting during holidays when people were on vacay. Once #Lynnwood's Alderwood community found out, fight was on.

@WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth FIRST COUNCIL MEETING ON CLINIC: On Jan. 3, Council Member Patrick Decker making argument against Acadia Healthcare clinic near Boys & Girls Club. Opponents frame company as greedy corporation with sketchy track record. @GovInslee @WADeptHealth #Lynnwood

@GovInslee

WHY OPIOD CLINIC IS NEEDED: Vast majority of neighbors who attended council meetings say they want methadone clinic in low traffic area in city away from kids, biz, and homes. However some interpreted that as being a NIMBY. @GovInslee @WADeptHealth

@GovInslee

WHAT IS ACADIA HEALTHCARE? Nation's largest operator of "behavioral health" centers. State officials say it would be #Lynnwood's only clinic providing METHADONE. #Lynnwood already has drug treatment centers but does not provide this drug. @GovInslee

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.🧵👇

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1956430258120614276

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

@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.
🧵👇🏽

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

https://twitter.com/camhigby/status/1966692549009305727

@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. 🧵👇🏽

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.”

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1760694309492260976

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.

NEW: WA Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal(@RepJayapal) just introduced a bill that allows homeless people to camp on federal land if they have no other options. This was simply political theater and won't go anywhere. Here's the real problem for Jayapal. 🧵👇

Despite billions of dollars spent over the years, Washington state has the third largest homeless population in America with more than 31K people living on the streets. That's likely an undercount. This is all happening under Jayapal's watch.

Part of the problem is her far-left progressive ideology. Here's what she recently told the Seattle Times: “Because I don’t think that homelessness is a failure of the individual,” she said. “I think it’s a failure of the system. I think it’s a failure of our policymaking.”

NEW: Saturday evening, independent journalist
@camhigby got ambushed and sucker-punched by an Antifa thug. So far no arrests.
Higby says he suffered a concussion. But it could have been far worse if he wasn't wearing a helmet and carrying pepper spray. 🧵👇

Higby says Antifa acolyte Tyler Hahn is the one who outed him in the crowd and physically pinned him to the ground. But Higby says another man is the one who threw the punches.

Higby says this man right here is the primary attacker and threw the punches. Let’s make him famous. @SeattlePD

#BREAKING: Seattle restauranteur David Meinert says the massive Microsoft Build (@Microsoft) developer conference won't be returning to Seattle next year after attendees complained about urban decay, open-air drug use, and numerous tents lining the streets.
🧵👇

Meinert is also torching Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) for allowing these conditions to prosper in the downtown core and claims the Downtown Activation plan is bloated with bureaucracy and is lacking leadership.
