HUD is missing. None of the housing or homeless service orgs seem to have heard from the department of housing and urban development in a few months. Assigned coordinators from the department that help counties reach or stay at federal compliance have been let go. Contracts have been pulled

I can say it publicly since I have more information not related to any projects I am working on.
I've had the chance to speak with many boards and directors from different orgs throughout western washington.

Maybe, if it was a white church, Trump would call out the proud boys for anti-christian bias?

How is Trump going to quote the constitution about religious freedom, after trying to enforce a "Muslim Ban"

"Anti-christian bias task force" is just code for DEI, I'm snitching

A federal judge has granted Washington state’s request for a preliminary injunction against President Trump’s birthright citizenship order, preventing the federal government from denying birthright citizenship to children of immigrants

You may hear the Washington state Republucans get loud over the next few days about "freedom to debate since 1893". That's because legislation has just made it easier to end filibusters with a simple majority vote, instead of a 2/3 majority. HR4607 rule 20

With the attempt to eliminate DEI and Equal opportunity, Trump has opened the door for agism. There is no other argument that needs to be made. Everyone is free to call for the termination of his office due to him being to old to be president.

It says "ANY PERSON".

all people within the jurisdiction of a state or our nation, are subject to and awarded the same protections of the law, regardless of race, religion, creed, gender, or status of any kind.

Let's make that finally a truth

The constitution cannot be changed by a presidential decree. Takes a 2/3 majority in both house and senate...

Even if it was an absent minded motion... nope, no matter the intention, it was still evidence of an absent mind

The 9 year old getting a tattoo in Arizona...
All the Republicans have been using under age ban on tattoos as an example of why youths can't make the choice to be trans.

I invite Washington state Republicans to chime in and put their money where their mouth is

Just a reminder that police are law enforcement, not Social Service or Mental health providers. And they won the lawsuit to stop the assumption that "to serve and protect" falls under their responsibilities or scope of work.
That's why they took the statement off their vehicles.

So... no. But yes.
Pierce County has several Mobile Crisis teams and crisis style teams. Such as MOCT and Tacoma HOPE (fire department). But we are also missing a lot of components such as crisis centers and basic ECLS access. Unfortunately most PC crisis teams are "co-responder" programs

YouTube video by King County Executive Dow Constantine Mobile teams respond to mental health and substance use crises

King County Crisis teams for mobile community based rapid response, are expanding.

We should be seeing something like this in Pierce county as well.
