Jeremy here! Vancouver, WA

Oh no Sandy!

She was such a great leader. It is a huge loss.

May she Rest in Peace!

S'Klallam, chimicum, Suquamish, one more..

Port Townsend. S'Klallam. Sorry for our loss.

closest reservation is both the Colville Confederated Tribes and Spokane Reservation.

Suquamish

Kudos to Biden for speaking out. I'm not sure there has been a better opportunity after all the things that have happened in the past two years. Shame on the major channels NOT to running Biden's historic speech.

Dan Lewinski I am thankful to the Skagit, Coastal Salish, Tulalip and Stillaguamish, the original people of these beautiful lands.

Woot! Who knew the best people to take him down would be the librarians.

There were reports a couple months back that Jared Kushner had received some $2billion from the Saudis.

Went to China and the Saudis

down the toilet

I nominate Hillary as Special Master

no

He too will lie under oath

Leave little time to officially vet, just like 2015

1:2! One in TWO! Yikes.

Surprised about OR

I went looking for the list but it looks like it's only available to the press...

Is Smiley an electon denier or just won't answer?

I think the list should be available in totality to anyone that wants to look at it.

Smiley won't say. https://www.politicususa.com/2022/09/04/tiffany-smiley-biden.html

but we know what he would when he does

Thank you. Lots of TV ads for her over here.

I find it suspicious. I got a notice in the mail that said I might not be listed to vote- I checked on the voters site and I am on it. Yet it has the wrong place to vote which was where we used to vote.Suspicious to me

Smiley is untrustworthy concerning her positions. She is very pro-life (anti-abortion), but she won't say that now after the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade. (Dobbs)

The people with the list of "proud boy" officials might be afraid of defamation suits if there are name confusuions on any released list.

Trump just now put his weight in Ohio for Mike DeWine our republican governor running for reelection. DeWine has totally a wishy washy governor a who succumbs to Republican disinformation spreaders

In @ 10 days I will be at DigiPen offering Voter Registration for the students. 🙂

woot Kate!

Palin lost because of RCV according to some.

that's correct! RCV showing a very positive outcome (and argument for)!

I think they have to be reintoduced

...better representation of the people I mean

Good luck R's with a CC! You need 2/3'rds!

Theyre short the votes for this

Republicans would like a constitutional convention wherein each state gets one vote.

The October 2021 episode of my “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV series provides fresh information and insights into some controversies that have confused and misled many Americans about many matters, including our human rights and how our government functions. I titled this TV episode: “Religious Freedom: What it Is – and What it Is Not”In a free society, people need to get along with each other – including people whose beliefs differ from each other – and we must protect fairness for all people. This includes the relationships between religious beliefs and governments.During this interview an expert clarifies what religious freedom IS and what it is NOT. We clear up confusion about the centuries-old American principle of “the separation of Church and State.” We set the record straight on how to protect all people’s religious freedom and human rights – and American democracy.

YEAH MARY!! This is awesome.

Common Cause is strongly against a constitutional convention as too risky

You can WATCH the interview video and/or READ the thorough summary I typed up at this link: https://parallaxperspectives.org/religious-freedom-what-it-is-and-what-it-is-not

It Works!!

Brings in civility?

Bingo!

When so many of the people who had voted for Begich (R) chose the Democrat instead of Palin (R), this suggests that a sizeable number of Republicans OPPOSED Palin because she was so awful. They'd rather elect a (D) instead of a crappy (R).

There are a lot of independent voters in Alaska.

The reason I heard for the Michigan Supreme Court ruling to throw out the ballot initiative was the spacing in the text was too narrow.

CMR is against contraception - go figure. She says it's a Trojan Horse,

awesome

yea! something right!

Leonard Leo was identified by Sheldon Whitehouse as one of the organizations/people behind the Dark Money during Sheldon's presentation on Amy Coney Barrett's nomination hearings.

🤬

I think that a state bank for Washington, much like they have in North Dakota, could be used to help reduce student loans for all students even those who have paid off their loans. We need to work for a state owned and operated bank in the new legislature.

I have another meeting to attend. Thanks, Cindy, for your awesome work.

They may not have to worry if they don't change the climate their grandkids won't be alive to collect anything

exactly Pia

echo chamber = all of social media

reinforces cognitive dissonance

and confirmation biases

Those websites should be considered public utilities, so should follow the rules.

Theyre pretty much lawless under 1st amdmt

yes all of them though YouTube algorithm in particular consistently promotes conspiracy theories over fact based content because of how outrage drives clicks and views

FB and Twitter among the worst ones for this

Girlvolution! Woot!

The Seattle rank choice ballot is a potentially confusing two step vote. Read up, Don't be confused.

thanks for everything you share!

Cindy don't apologize - you're GREAT!

Can you put a link to donate in the chat?

The Washington State Democratic party has a caucus for the issue of separation of church and state.

https://www.au.org/ is the site Americans United for the separation of church and state.

THEY believe he's a prophet.

Trump supports religion when he plays god

Most of the Supreme Court jurists are now Catholic.

It's the snake eating itself...it's a symbiotic relationship

Girlvolution is good if we're able to keep dark money out of the positions. Amy Coney-Barret's father is an attorney for Shell. Open-air slave markets in Libya thanks to Sec Clinton. 1 million Iraqi kids dead thanks to Madelien Albright.

They are the megachurches who whore themselves for monetary benefit. Money is their pastros God.Bobert is ignorant.

After confirming Brett K, I started wondering if being a sex predator is a prerequisite :\

The Republicans know that the demographic shifts aren't on their side, so they know that getting on the side of the religious radicals is a way to survive.

David Barton is NOT a real historian, but he portrays himself to be one. REAL historians know he is WRONG about claiming that the U.S. was created to be a "Christian nation." That's propaganda -- the opposite of accurate history.

I highly doubt D Trump is earnestly religious, but getting the religious right's support by picking Pence gained his standing.

Since the 1940s, an EXCELLENT organization has been working smartly and vigorously to support the Separation of Church and State. It's called "Americans United for the Separation of Church and State." Their website is www.au.org. I donate a lot of money to them and read their monthly magazine cover-to-cover.

very very scary

They (MAGA Republicans) relate most to the Isaerlites.

David Barton gives history a hysterectomy

They feel their experiences will exile them and force them to wonder deserts

It is false persecution, for sure Bob.

this "it's not in Constitution" language & messaging is something they've really latched onto

She supposedly serves in office but doesn't get anything about the Constitution, Democracy,Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, any of that stuff she and Marjorie Green are totally ignorant on the subject,should be booted out of office

they would not

Letting a religion rule is dangerous and leads to violence. Look at the Huguenots and Northern Ireland,

BINGO!

I'm finding the Wicca I meet to be very life-affirming :)

thanks Cindy. Goodnight everyone...

The thing about religion says nobody's right and nobody's wrong nobody can prove that their religion is right it's all based on faith alone so you can't run based on somebody's religion that's just plain stupid

Christian Athletes drive me crazy when they hold meetings in public schools.

Wow, so scary. Sheds light on our current situation

At Yvonne, done and DONE! That was easy.

True. I doubt Jesus was a capitalist.

Gotta go. Thank you for an informative presentation and discussion.

In places they have successfully stared "Satanic Clubs" including Washington the groups teach children about media literacy, website makes it clear that despite name they are not religious or actually "satanic" https://thesatanictemple.com/

At Kathy: yeah the table flip in the Temple was pretty good evidence what his stance was

ty Bob!

Some megachurches are better organized politically than some political parties,

If our group were as energetic/persistent/numerous as bird watchers, we'd have more say in how our government is run, and how our tax dollars are spent.

Jesus healed people for FREE -- without capitalism. He did not charge co-pays or disqualify people who had pre-existing conditions. He also fed people without requiring application forms or eligibility criteria. He would find capitalism horribly sinful in violating God's grace, which is freely given.

we need to fix those tax exempt status laws

Jeremy megachurches involved in earning money for politicians and telling people who to vote for. They should be TAXED

they believe the more you give the more you will get from God ( Money)

Yes, there's a huge difference between Prosperity Gospel vs. Liberation Theology!

no to buy their jets and mansions

Of course they get a lot of people to phone bank, door knock and get their people out to vote,

but it wasnt In God we trust until 1952

in gold we trust

lol Dwight

The slogan "In God we trust" was added to paper money decades ago. But it is a lie. If our nation REALLY trusted in God, we would abolish our nuclear weapons and our Pentagon and trust God to protect us. But no -- actually -- in MILITARY VIOLENCE do we trust! We should expose the hypocrisy. It trivializes God.

Never call them "deplorables" or laugh at ignorant people.

What about Bernie?? Jayapal?? and other progressives?

Absolutely Kathy- they also screwed with the media published lies, turned people against each other, then treated groups of people less than inhumanely, minimizing their humanity, let groups to destroy civilians around them.

Yes, when trainloads of people showed up for lynching's :(

Thank you Cindy
