Where is Larson?

Larson failed to show up to two candidate forums in a row as of last week.

His own party, the orgs representing ~1/3 of his district, and yet he cannot be bothered to even give them three minutes of his time.

It is quite literally three minutes long and no longer. I asked them if I could have his three minutes because he didn't show and they declined, still keeping me to three minutes 😆

This paired with him ignoring the pleas over the last year from local activists to inspect the ICE facility in Ferndale just really disappoints me.

If you are as fed up with him as I am, please join my fight. You can read more about my platform at https://tomas4congress.com and donate to the campaign here

I am also looking for more incidents of him just failing to be there for us, so if you know of any I should be aware of please comment them here or email me at info@tomas4congress.com so it goes to everyone on the leadership team.

Veterinarian Recommendations?

I’m moving up on Sunday and my kitty was recently diagnosed with FIC and I want to get him established with a good vet as soon as possible. I have insurance through Lemonade. From what I’ve seen, the pet culture is huge in BHAM so if anyone has any recommendations for a trustworthy clinic I would appreciate any and all! Thank you!! :) (crossposted)

Owner of Northwood Market in Lynden does not pay his employees.

I worked for this shady market in Lynden for 4 days and a month later they never paid me a dime. I told them I had found a better job, but would work the rest of the schedule. He immediately let me go and never paid me. Please do not support this place. For the love of God, never work for them.

I was hesitant at first because I dislike drama, but I feel like this gym needs to be held accountable, and this is the only way I can do it. I started bringing my 5- and 7-year-olds here for just under a year. They loved it; they made friends; my daughter competed in and won a huge tournament. I had truly thought I had found a treasure for my kids to grow in. My children are young, and the instructors here will encourage you, as a parent, to help your kids follow instructions and practice the techniques they are teaching. I had been doing this with my daughter and son every time we went; it was completely acceptable and encouraged. This is where everything went horribly wrong.....My daughter was practicing drills with a young boy I had known for quite some time. She was using the sweep technique incorrectly, so I quickly got on the floor with her and said, "Grab his collar or sleeves." Stop grabbing the back of his head. I got up and went back to my seat, as I had so many times before. I did not speak to this boy or even look at him; I only communicated with my daughter. For some reason, whatever I said to my daughter upset this boy; his mom became irate, and they stormed out of the gym. I got a call a few days later from 2 of the main coaches: "Jesse, we watched the video, and you did nothing wrong, but you can't come back to the gym." I also recorded THAT conversation. They also have cameras that prove everything I am saying. But because this boy is now disturbed by what I did and has a mother full of vitriol and hatred, their solution is to kick me out of the gym for doing exactly what they told me to do. I am the only one who can drive my kids to practice; they can no longer do jujitsu here. If you have kids and want to get them involved in Jujitsu, avoid this place at ALL COSTS. I imagine they will respond to this and try to defend themselves, but it's all bullshit, and I have proof. I will be exploring my legal options over the next few weeks. I will not forget this. And if the "mother" reads this, I hope you feel better about yourself. I hope hurting my children helps you and your child feel better, truly I do, at least you get something out of it, right? You should be so proud of yourself. What a great mother.
