@Sassafrass_84 Tried watching it last night and didn't finish it. Not my cup of tea with the blood and gore...I also found the drum line score distracting. Love Armie Hammer and the message...just not delivered in a way that I find entertaining. I would be interested in what you think!
NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that.
NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that.
Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that.
Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that.
People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.
People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.
You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that.
America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that.
The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that.
Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that.
Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that.
Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that.
Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that.
Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that.
People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that.
History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that.
A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that.
Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that.
You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that.
Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.
There is a "No Kings" movement happening right now in Washington state. They wave every flag you can imagine...
The argument is that Republicans are operating like royalty. Unaccountable. Unelected. Making decisions that affect millions of people without a vote.
I want to talk about something closer to home. Who dictates your utility bill costs...
Puget Sound Energy serves 1.1 million customers in King and Snohomish counties. Snohomish County PUD serves another 370,000. Seattle City Light covers most of Seattle. Every single person in this region wakes up and pays whatever these utilities charge. You have no choice. You cannot switch providers.
PSE's electric bill is up 30% since 2023. If you are an Avista customer in eastern Washington, you are up over 40% since 2022. Nobody asked you. Nobody voted on it.
Here is how it happened.
Three people set PSE's profit rate. Not elected. All three appointed by Democratic governors. The current chair came from a clean energy advocacy organization. The governor who appointed him signed the law that requires PSE to make billions in new capital investments. Under the rules these three commissioners enforce, every dollar of that investment earns PSE a guaranteed 9.9% annual return. Collected from your bill. For decades.
The profits do not stay in Washington. PSE is owned by a consortium of Canadian and Dutch pension funds. Your utility payment leaves this state every month.
In King County, you can vote for your school board. Your city council. Your county executive. You cannot vote for a single person who decides what you pay for electricity.
That is not a Republican system. That is not a Democratic system. That is three people, appointed by one party that has held the governorship for 40 years, setting the price of a service you cannot refuse to buy.
The "No Kings" crowd wants you looking at Washington D.C.
I think we should start by looking at Olympia.
I publish the full research and sourced breakdowns on Substack every week. Search Shane Kidwell if you want the deeper dive.

@FirstLadyOffice@atensnut@FLOTUS@MELANIATRUMP@WhiteHouse@POTUS@RoyalFamily You bring class and beauty to the White House. Thank you for sharing so many stunning photos of the events, decorations etc. It helps those of us who can’t see the people’s house in person feel like they get a magnificent glimpse of the beautiful surroundings!
@PeriklesGREAT How to make poor people food taste like fancy food. Fried baloney, ham and beans, SOS... oh, and the one item you should spend more money on is a good coat.
@EricLDaugh Any chance we can add that all ballots be printed in English ONLY. To be a citizen you must be able to read and speak English, so there should be no problem, right?
@GurlVetFL@nettermike There are no in person voting places in King county (Seattle) Washington. Only mail in, so no oversight at all. Also I believe that you are automatically registered to vote when getting a driver’s license. Anyone see a problem here besides me?
@matt_vanswol Who determines what people are “black”? Does a person need to prove they are a certain percentage of black? Black from Africa or does this include blacks from Caribbean countries and elsewhere and how do they plan to validate every one? What if I identify as black, but I’m not
@KING5Seattle If you want to vote in WA your only option is mail in or drop box. You are NOT “ALLOWED” to vote in person. Seems very suspicious to me after ten years of limited republican leaders in King County &WA during this time frame.
@MayraFlores4TX A feather pillow! I have multiple neck issues and I can scrunch it up or smash it to almost flat depending on how things feel each night. If you have allergies then a fake feather pillow. I have both but love the feather the most.
A constitutional republic means we are a nation governed by laws...
Democracy means we are a nation governed by majority rule...
This is what the Democrats don’t want you to remember. This is why they have been working so hard over the past 30 years to change the wording in our daily lives, replacing "republic" with "democracy."
Watch how they try to use these two words interchangeably, but they are not interchangeable!!
