A nine-year-old girl sat down and wrote a letter to President Trump and @FLOTUS. Not to her principal. Not to the school board. To @POTUS.
Her name is Brooklyn Rivera. She’s in third grade.
In her own handwriting she told them what happened: a boy peeked under her stall and then pushed the door open while she was sitting there. She cried.
The school did nothing. They told her boys can use the girls’ bathroom. And now she feels scared.

I really thought about breaking this down, but the bias and illogical nature of how this judge dismisses the clear and obvious facts about the budget process and the initiative is nearly beyond explanation.
Point blank, he came in with a political opinion and his mind already made up. He thinks it’s ok for a PIID to misstate the facts and manipulate voters if his world view allows it. He’s your master, not your servant.
Who is he to make statements about our tax code or system? Who is he to determine, other than the facts, what he personally believes voters should know?
Astounding. I’m sure he’ll be popular at the next Olympia DSA meeting.
You can’t cut what you haven’t spent, Judge. Why couldn’t the attorney general instead write “this initiative will cut waste fraud abuse”? What to cut or spend is a future legislatures decision. And as much as Nick Brown wants to make it about schools and healthcare, how would he know what a legislature two years from now would cut? It could easily just the same cut from bloated government waste.
It’s ridiculous lawfare against the citizens of Washington. True Soviet stuff going on here, and this is a true kangaroo court.
DEVELOPING: Unhinged Judge Chris Lanese loses it and says that the Washington Democrats' biased language against the income tax repeal has to stay because otherwise people might actually vote to repeal it
This is the most blatantly biased display I have ever seen from a judge
Breaking— Thurston county activist judge, Chris Lanese, ruled against us today and we didn’t even get a chance to present our case!!!!
WARNING POTLDR (pissed off too long did not read)
I-26-645 would repeal Washington's new income tax. State law requires the government's ballot disclosure to be neutral. We challenged the Attorney General's financial impact statement on those grounds. Our hearing got bumped by an unrelated party in Thurston County — and Lanese used that unrelated case to rule against us too, without letting us argue ours.
He exposed his bias in the earlier case when he called tax-cut initiatives "not neutral" and blamed budget gaps on people who don't want to pay taxes. Except I-26-645 cuts no appropriation. The tax it repeals generates zero revenue until 2029. State spending is up 55% after inflation and population growth, and lawmakers just passed the two largest tax increases in state history.
The AG writes the one sided ballot title. The AG then gets to write a one sided financial impact statement. If uncontested, it goes straight onto the ballot, not the pamphlet as god designed it to go. We used the one process under WA law to challenge the AG wording and Judge Lanese slammed the door door shut before we even said a word.
If we are going to make a change in WA we are going to have to fight for it— get out and vote Yes in November to repeal the income tax.
If you live in Thurston County, log it in your brain that Judge Lanese is up for re-election in 2028.
Oh and just a reminder, this same judge who essentially gave a stranger standing in our case regarding the financial impact statement just happens to be the very same judge who denied @WAPolicyGreen Todd Myers standing when he petitioned the department of ecology to release their carbon reduction numbers to the citizens of the state as they are required by law.
So this activist Judge Lanese, denies citizen’s standing when they address the state but willy nilly gives standing to strangers when it supports their clearly pro tax judicial stance (watch the video below to see his unhinged and extremely biased approach to the income tax impact statement we were not allowed to argue!)
MY GOD. I can't believe what I'm watching. I have never seen a judge act this way. While considering a challenge over the initiative to repeal the state income tax, Thurston County Judge Chris Lanese spews Democrat talking points while screeching and flailing his arms. Judicial activism like I've never seen. Truly unhinged. Multiple lawyers messaged me saying he needs to be reported to the bar.
The guy on the left is a Muslim terrorist supporter and the other guy thinks America ‘deserved 9/11.’
Somehow Democrats in Michigan think this is okay…
Well, EVERY RED BLOODED AMERICAN DOES NOT!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
