Many of us said when the idea for “hate crimes” was first offered up for legislation that if enacted it would only be a matter of time before the idea would morph into the establishment of thought crimes.

Well these People in Washington State allowed this over time and now they are reaping the rewards. I would move to another State..

My wife and I were born and raised in Washington State... Citizens who grew up here have been overrun. People like us have become a minority here. This started out from people escaping from California. When we go to the stores near our home, often there seem to be more people loudly speaking foreign languages than English. Our state is well known as a sanctuary state to “new arrivals”.

So yes we are planning on moving to another state... forced out by policies that we have no control over.

“FIRE is pleased to announce an important legislative victory for free speech in Washington state. Senate Bill 5427, which would have created a bias reporting system for the entire state, failed to advance out of the Senate Ways and Means committee.”

According to the State legislature’s web page, they have managed to get this abomination out of committee...

IF true: “only the federal government can create or enforce immigration law”

Then it follows, that U.S. “Sanctuary Cities” are un-constitutional.

And other considerations.

In my suburb of Seattle it is now over 42% of the people were born in another country. Most of them have good jobs and are probably decent people. BUT - their views on social, cultural, political, etc. norms are not American.

Hopefully we’ll live long enough to wake up and do something about it.

That would include Biden for saying that a Jewish prime minister should come to Jesus.

I actually spoke to Bird at the WA State Fair lest fall. He seems like a smart cookie, and put forth some really well-thought ideas.
As it is, I’m not sure I trust Reichert. He seems more of an Establishment guy. I do know the GOP in Olympia are behind him, and that’s a big Red Flag to me.
Another reason I like Bird is that my uber-lib sister utterly hates him. She jokingly (I hope) told me she’d shoot me if I voted for him.
So, I guess you could say I’m a Bird-man.

"And hopefully we wake up from it soon!"

It took several generations to get into this mess and it will twice as many to even "begin" recovering some of the lost freedoms & liberties...
