Please take a second to sign my petition. We just got passed 50, can you help me get to 100?

Why should it cost so much time and money for a victim of a Karen's false police calls to get justice?

Seattle and WA voters, we can fix this!

If you thought people in Laurelhurst were freaks for calling the cops about "suspicious persons" walking their dogs, check out what's happening in Bellevue.

Great. All the red and yellow dots represent lightning strikes. This entire side of the state is dry as a bone and will ignite with the smallest spark. #WildFires #WA #wx

@eddyjokovich
Let’s face it, we know next to nothing about #AUKUS Tier One, and the little we know we garner from US and UK sources where the *paranoia* surrounding secret and top secret briefings isn’t as ingrained as it is at home — there are historical precedents behind this behaviour which can be teased out of the history of the UKUSA agreement). Hence much of what is written domestically in the press and open to the public about AUKUS is little better than hypothetical commentary (neither confirmed nor denied by govt or #RichardMarlesMP). Some commentary is a little better in that the guesses postulated therein have a grain of *probabilty* based on *educated guesses*. But they are few and sparse in details. That is the state of play where AUKUS is concerned and very unlikey to change in the future.

Moreover, where more knowledgeable sources are commenting, they do so with an agenda, but their comments reflects their limited knowledge beyond broad issues, or are unable to be more specific due to the Official Secrets Act. Either way, what is available to the public, journalist and politically active commentators is next to nothing in the face of the most complex Defence procurement in the history of the ADF.

Dear Eddy, I’ve written the above to keep my comment short by not addressing all of your talking points that I take issue with. Tbf, my 23 years in Defence does not make me an expert, but it ought to count for something in the public arena. Given my views above, I sympathise with commentators and journalists who feel obliged, and rightly so, to keep the AUKUS issue alive hoping for transparency and accountability by maintaining the *heat* in this public debate. It’s a healthy thing.

Increasingly I'm hearing child survivors of family courts saying they will mount class actions and civil suits against the states that removed parents from their lives.

WA is NO exception.

Literally just go look at where WA state is spending the most and GROWING money in civil suit settlements.

And please read my whole story and ask yourself if you see WA state getting the shit sued out of it if THIS is how family law actually operates here.
