CALLS FOR DIRECT ACTION: #Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera(@riveraforrenton) posted a series of videos on TikTok targeting Korean American owned Olympus Spa before this past weekend's protests in #Lynnwood. Thankfully it did not lead to any violence. But it cost the city of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
NOW I KNOW: CM Rivera(@riveraforrenton) blocked me on TikTok. I didn't realize she recently referenced my reporting in one of her video rants. I guess she's a fan. LOL. BTW, Rivera is an elected official in #Renton, rapidly becoming a haven for progressives and FAR-LEFT… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ACKNOWLEDGED: #Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera(@riveraforrenton) admits to blocking me on TikTok. But denies she was at the Olympus Spa rally standing w/her militant trans activists. If I didn't have so many deadlines, I would look into this. But I know others already are. LOL… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
UNMASKED? Questions now swirling, was #Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera(@riveraforrenton) on the front lines of this trans militant rally in #Lynnwood, targeting the owner of a Korean Spa?
CITY LEADER CALLING FOR DIRECT ACTION: Councilmember Rivera's(@riveraforrenton) attempts to mobilize counter protesters just led to some aggressive behavior, yelling, and lots of name calling. But there was a financial cost to #Lynnwood. @LynnwoodPD
WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING: There is a crisis of conscience in the #LGBTQIA+ community as more and more people are starting to realize the targeting of minors by the militant/radical trans faction is real. @riveraforrenton #Pride2023#LGBWithoutTheTQ
UNHINGED RANTS: Didn't realize CM Rivera(@riveraforrenton) is so active on social. She even referenced a tweet from discredited grocery bagger Alycia Ramirez(@AlyciaRamirez3.) I'm still waiting for the other basement bloggers to chime in. #Renton. LOL.
@riveraforrenton@AlyciaRamirez3 WHAT IS A F.A.R.T.=Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes. CM Rivera(@riveraforrenton,) is that correct? More WOKE academics making up words and phrases, then imposing it on culture and compromised media. #Renton

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
@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.
🧵👇🏽
@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.”
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.
Pro-Hamas protesters also disrupted Microsoft Build 2025 in Seattle, harassing attendees with insane glitter bombs.
