LIES, INACCURACIES, AND EXAGGERATIONS: Many of you know activist blogger Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) blocked me on twitter last year after I punched back and called her out for shoddy reporting. But she continues to play CHEAP and takes shots at me publicola.comtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FALSE REPORTING: Barnett starts off the piece by referencing my firing from KOMO last year by saying I encouraged viewers to come to a rally held by the Proud Boys. I never did that in person or on any of my social media platforms. And my coverage never even aired on KOMO. She… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ENTIRE PAPER TRAIL: On Wednesday March 8, I reached out to Kirkland media contact Sue Romero and told her I would show up. Prior to this email, I never met Sue in my life. So I gave her some background on my work. Under my current media fellowship at twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
RSVP: Here’s the proof @kirklandgov gave me permission to attend the presser.



#Kirkland
MORE INACCURACIES: If Barnett’s reporting wasn’t so lazy, she could have simply Googled my name and found my by-line @millcreekview. I’m also a regular contributor and collaborator with the @LynnwoodTimes, most recently covering the opioid clinic saga with publisher and owner… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@millcreekview @LynnwoodTimes MY BY-LINE AT MILLCREEK VIEW: The publisher and owner of this Snohomish County newspaper also vouches for me and credits me for being a vital part of the team. Email included. @millcreekview
MY PARTNERSHIP WITH LYNNWOOD TIMES: I worked side by side with @lynnwoodtimes and Mario Lotmore on several stories and plan to do even more collaborations. I was primarily responsible for the paper's video coverage on this initial report.

LYNNWOOD TIMES DOUBLING DOWN: Publisher and owner of the @LynnwoodTimes doubling down again this afternoon, vouching for my partnership with his Snohomish County paper. @ericacbarnett never called Millcreek View(@millcreekview) or Lynnwood Times. Would have saved her from the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
MORE EXAGGERATIONS AND INACCURACIES: After the encounter in Kirkland, I did not produce a story for this event and none of this made it on to Discovery Institute platforms. I only released a video showing my encounter with Kirkland’s media handler. And once again, my firing from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
WHAT I ACTUALLY POSTED FROM KIRKLAND: Last week, I told you about a press conference I attended at Kirkland City Hall. Multiple elected officials including Governor Jay Inslee(@GovInslee) and King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) spoke at the twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
JUST GOOGLE IT: Once again, Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) needs a primer on how to use Google. She closes out her hit piece by referencing my exclusive story about 15 year old Marcelles Orr, the young man who chased me with an axe in downtown Seattle in January. What she fails… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF VIDEO: Erica C. Barnett(@ericacbarnett) has failed to transition into the digital age or understand how video now drives all conversations. But this grandma does. That’s why she told me to show everything. Btw, Marcelles is safe and remains… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
YOU BE THE JUDGE: Do you think I intentionally go after the FAR-LEFT activists, or do you think they come after me? 🙃 Video don't lie Erica. @ericacbarnett
IN CLOSING: Well, that's 45 minutes of my life I'm not getting back after writing this thread. 😅
Bottom line, I have produced all the concrete evidence to refute virtually every key allegation in her piece. I stand by everything I have said and I have the truth on my side.
It's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#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.
And in downtown Seattle, some students were caught vandalizing city property with anti-ICE propaganda.

#BREAKING: Parents say a 12-year-old Hamilton International Middle School student fell into the water during an anti-ICE protest.

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. 🧵👇🏽Image
Here is the narrative from Seattle Fire. Image

Students ended the protest and are now heading back to the school. Image

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. 🧵👇🏽 Image
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. Image
Image
This is straight out of Mao’s playbook. Image

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. 🧵👇
