@LaNativePatriot No. I had to use alternative apps for X on a mobile device because it started to demand Google Play Services. It also won't let me view my timeline from where I last looked. All this added up gives me latency like dial-up.
@hobbylink Well... I wanted to say models that are promoted as action figures. I have limited time to build models so action figures are good for displays with no time invested, unlike models.
Apparently, looking at earlier replies, there are more prevalent issues among hobbyists.
@LaNativePatriot 1st stop should be the PD. Remove the entire force from the top down, they are not only allowing this, they are facilitating and encouraging it. Then do the same with the Govt. for the exact same reason.
@AyakaMods Ironically, I just uninstalled the "X" app from my Android device yesterday because after updating it, it wouldn't start unless I allowed "Google Play Services" to run on my device. Things like this really justify abandoning "Google".
@StarAdvertiser If one must question an individuals education concerning RIGHT OR WRONG, they need to remove themselves from any decision making entirely and repeat Kindergarten for an undetermined time.
Washington just became the first state in U.S. history to terminate a public employee pension plan.
The plan belongs to retired police officers and firefighters. LEOFF Plan 1 was 160% funded as of June 2024 per the state's own actuarial valuation. It had not required a single contribution in 25 years. By 2029 it was projected to reach 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus.
The legislature terminated the plan, swept $3.9 billion, and is using $880 million of it to refill a rainy day fund it already drained to cover a deficit it created.
Days ago, retired first responders including former Congressman Dave Reichert sued the state to stop it. The bill passed the House 55-39 and was advanced out of Appropriations without a public hearing. Every yes vote was a Democrat. The governor signed it in April.
I publish the full research and sourced breakdowns on Substack every week. Search Shane Kidwell if you want the deeper dive.
I sacrificed my body and a good chunk of my life for our state, they committed to providing a benefit for me and raided it.

The White Calf family is miles apart from this Association on Indian Affairs and has never contacted our family. The people we met are the ones who want to hear the history of my grandfather’s like Chief White Calf and our great uncle John Two Guns White Calf who traveled to our nation’s capitol Washington D.C. while advocating for our rights, Two Guns also adopted President Coolidge into our Blackfeet Tribe. This is how our tribe is now, we talk and like to meet people who are interested in our culture, heritage and history, our number’s went down greatly due to starvation & disease…our leaders just wanted what was best for our people but I didn’t know they were laying out the groundwork for us to finish. There is history with the Washington Redskins Logo and the image inside is a Native American from the Blackfeet (Pikuni) Nation and with a well known history and is one John Two Guns White Calf aka Chief Two Guns White Calf. His likeness and image was used on many occasions including his likeness on the Indian head/ buffalo nickel and what I can say about that is our tribes leader’s like my fourth great grandfather Chief White Calf among other leader’s who were going through talks about our treaty right’s, at the same time John Two Guns White Calf was already a well known individual who represented his father, family and people. We went through a treaty and then another one and another one, for some tribes and that is why Chief White Calf remained in D.C. was to talk on behalf of his people. Face Paint, Native Americans still use today and used in the same fashion as when it was first used, our Blackfeet Tribe still use it and it used very traditionally, ceremonial and as well in a celebratory fashion. I can guarantee other tribes use it culturally also. We have met so many people who Support us and it’s with a huge Thank You to our friends that we have met on this journey, You’ the Redskins Fans that stands with the legendary Name & Logo of John Two Guns White Calf & the Redskins. We never gained nor given a dime for our story, the real story because it took a lot of really good people who reached out to our family who want to know our history about our great uncle Two Guns and our family’s history with D.C. @SaveNativeSouls@jagged_ice84@Cheering4Change
@StarAdvertiser ...so they can say "over population" and then release them to terrorize the people who don't even have the option to defend themselves in "sensitive public spaces"? All this "talk" about "Public Safety" yet have no problem making things worse for the People.
@GenCurtLeMay@StarAdvertiser Probably shouldn't have locked down the City while essential workers still had to work. By creating an incident deemed "Hazardous", the City left themselves open to this kind of litigation.
@JohnRLottJr Re-elect NO ONE and make it clear why.
Oh wait, that won't work 'cause the elections will be rigged without this change...
I guess we should just stop paying them.
