    Spokane will always be the city that voted to allow domestic terrorist Matt Shea into the government.

    If you’re not familiar with Domestic Terrorist Matt Shea, you should absolutely read about him.

      I’m quite well aware of Matt Shea and his ilk. I first heard about him on Aron Ra’s YouTube channel because he was organizing counter-protests against the Satanic Temple at the Idaho and Washington State capitols. There were some other things I was less aware of though, so that was definitely an enlightening read.

      I especially liked the part about his jihad…“document, consisting of 14 sections” which I can only assume is a thinly veiled callback to the 14 words from David Eden Lane. There are some seriously deranged Nazi mother fuckers across Eastern Washington and Idaho. I don’t want them getting anymore emboldened than they already are, and it is good to have a reminder of what we are dealing with in this country.

      Not to defend Spokane but that was Spokane Valley. If you know the difference that’s all that needs to be said. Still part of the metro but technically not Spokane city proper.
