Population of Hoodsport, WA is less than 500. We were # 288 and 319 at the #NoKings protest.

At one point a pickup truck yelled get out of my town, and the majority of the folks chanted β€œHoodsport Proud, this is our town”.

Leaders don’t fight to take away people’s health care.

Leaders don’t degrade federal workers.

Leaders don’t abandon allies in times of struggle.

Leaders don’t cause chaos β€” they prevent it.

Serious question πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Can we withhold our federal tax dollars? I mean individuals stop paying out of our pay checks?

I know eventually we’d have to pay or IRS would come knocking, but could we hold on paying as a protest? Would it matter?

Hiring for a city DEI role paused as Bremerton fears losing crucial federal funding More than $19 million in federal funds anticipated by the city could be at risk, Mayor Greg Wheeler said.

WTF #Bremerton

Wasn’t expecting this in our own backyard so fast. As far as I’m concerned WA entities should not follow any executive order by this administration. They are unlawful and meant to sow chaos, we MUST stand against.

WA State folks, call Senator Maria Cantwell (202) 224-3441 and demand vocal action against the current administration, block all cabinet nominees and stop the overreach of the unhinged billionaire. She’s being far too silent and complicit in a safe blue Senate seat.

On a rapid response call with 1000+ Washingtonians getting educated on immigrant rights and how to support our friends and neighbors.

Reminder for #Kitsap that all of the Olympic Peninsula is within the 100-miles of Customs and Border Patrol.
