Spokane and Bonner county sheriff's offices can no longer hide or delete critical Facebook comments after First Amendment concerns, judges rule The Spokane County Sheriffโ€™s Office and the Bonner County Sheriffโ€™s Office can no longer hide or delete comments on Facebook that may be critical of their agencies, two federal judges have ruled.

This isn't the first time that the Spokane County Sheriff's office used deceptive tactics to put forth a false narrative. I had to file a First Amendment lawsuit against the Spokane County Sheriff's Office in order to force them to obey the U.S. Constitution.

Spokane County Sheriff Nowels and Spokane Prosecuting Attorney McCollam just released a video using their official government platform to lobby against the Law Enforcement Leaders bill. They blatantly lied about the bill in order to turn the public against it.

Took my new Trash Panda Disc Golf driver that I just got to replace my stolen disc to the park for a test drive and someoneโ€™s off-leash dog was kind enough to go after it and bring it back. The upside, I doubt it will have any effect on my throws. ๐Ÿ™„

Watching the Pam Bondi hearing this morning. She is common trash. All she does is deflect and snipe at congressional members without answering any questions. She is defensive because she knows she has committed numerous crimes and will eventually be punished.

@thanedar.house.gov is awesome! Rep. Shri Thanedar just informed ICE officials they will be held accountable for their crimes and they should be hoping they receive a pardon, because they will be prosecuted!โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m sure there are those in there. I can imagine what they were like in the platoon. They were easily identified.

ICE is a 12 year oldโ€™s idea of what a soldier is after watching war movies all their life and having no actual experience with real wartime conflict or even basic military service.

No, but in the event a person were to use their 2nd Amendment right to protect someone being abducted, this law could be used in their defense.

Well, if we pass the face mask ban in Washington state that will ban law enforcement from wearing face masks, then we can assume anyone with a face mask that is abducting a person is not a law enforcement officer and the community can act accordingly to protect their family, friends and neighbors.

Have you ever noticed how people who have never been in the military love to use military lingo? Such as:

Eliminated the threat

Deployed to the area

Under attack

In theater

They want to sound like they served, but never wanted to actually serve.

The decline and fall of the United States of America.

I never would have thought that the host of a shitty tv show would have been the one that would destroy the US Constitution and our nation as a whole. But if you think about it, another actor was very instrumental in this. Ronald Regan.

Placed a new sign and flowers at the VA for Alex Pretti and to let the staff know weโ€™re thinking of them. This time itโ€™s outside the fence, so hopefully it wonโ€™t get taken down. Feel free to add to it if you would like.

These are the photos I took at Dachau nearly 38 years ago. Memory is resistance. We must stop fascism wherever we see it.

We must never allow atrocities like this to happen again. I fear America is laying the bricks right now for that same path to repeat itself.

As the years have gone by, the impact of that visit has only grown stronger. What I saw there has never left me, and it shouldnโ€™t leave any of us.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. From 1986 to 1988 I was stationed at Katterbach, just outside Ansbach, Germany. In 1987, my unit visited the Dachau Concentration Camp.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call โ€œsymbolic compliance.โ€

Thatโ€™s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
