Dear #GlennKirchner, thank you for your service! Bless your heart, for taking the time to inform us of the facts of what is really going on! Great news that it will be some more sedition indictments shortly, although it's been 2 years since January 6th insurrection! What do you think the chances are of removing 147 + GOP traitors from Congress under the 14th BEFORE the midterms, so we don't get stuck with these goddamn traitors any longer! They are terrorizing the country! Also, what about the 900 plus people who were already arrested, and charged with picketing and trespassing offenses, but not sedition? Will they be charged with sedition as well? Also I have a suggestion, to offer them some immunity if they testify against the ex-president ? I'm absolutely certain he called some of them on the phone, because he always does! They are just protecting him. I am podcasting right now, and I podcast all the pro democracy podcasts, because I'm doing everything I can to support this pro-democracy movement! Including running for office myself, there was an empty space on our ballots here in arizona, where a democrats should be! Would you please wish me luck on my race for write-in state mine inspector here in Arizona? Thanks so much for all you do, can't thank you enough!

A fascinating lecture by South African Michael tellinger, whose work you may have seen on #Gaia. He discusses his most recent research into tracing the origins of human history, specifically in South Africa, called The cradle of humanity, and Adam's calendar. #Ancientaliens Tellinger has done some groundbreaking work, estimating the extent of mysterious shaped circles Stone circles on the grounds, which he posits could well be related to form of extraction for mining gold in the area, carried out by the ancient #anunnaki, as described in the #Sumerian so-called Legends, which tellinger argues we should consider as histories. They're not mythologies of the world, they are histories of the world. ######like this podcast? Check out some of my other ones! And thanks for a billion listens

Episode 40 excerpt: "If I was a cat I'd be eating the fuck out of some roaches." Color us STUFFED! We feasted on cinnamon rolls, a delish vegan scramble, and grapefruit mimosas. Meet Taylor Weech, former host of Praxis on KYRS, co-founder of Keep Spokane Kind Of Gross (shout out to the other co-founder Erika!), and general woman about town. Spokane-born & bred Weech hosted Praxis for 7 years about feminism and social justice. She instructs us on how to keep Spokane kind of gross once she leaves for school and we talk extensively about her recreating Never Been Kissed (despite not really remembering the plot of the movie) with a queer spin on it. We stroll down Memory Lane reminiscing about old obsessions with alternative/college rock/early pop punk bands and the music our parents listened to. Weech has been a solid community activist working within the youth program of PJALs (Peace and Action Justice League) and as a board member. She gushes about how great Gen Z is, analyzes Adam Sandler’s acting caliber, and recounts the horrifying hellscape that is Cats (the movie). Keep Spokane Kind of Gross stickers can be found at Giant Nerd Books & Atticus.

Tänä aamuna ihmeteltiin muun muassa kyrsän olemusta - ja miten Pauliina omansa nauttii? Mikko kunnostautui kertomalla, missä tilanteissa on maailman sivu v****-sana ollut sallittu. Ja entäs sitten Räikköset, miten hulvaton on heidän yksityinen lentomatkansa ollut? Sukupuolten taistelussa kisasivat Hara ja Erja.

Super Bowl champion and former Green Bay Packer Kyrs Darkins knows about fighting for his life. After finding himself behind bars, Darkins learned the law and got himself out of jail. Since then, he's been on a quest to help brothers and sisters learn their rights. He's garned headlines as of late thanks to his work on behalf of Gucci Mane's artist, Ralo. Ralo was arrested last April and charged with trafficking $1 Million dollars cannabis. Darkins thinks that he, a long with YahLife can bring Ralo home. We spoke to Kyrs about how his organization YahLife is reversing mass incarnation on cannabis cases and pushing for the freedom of Gucci Mane's artist Ralo while pushing for HOR approval of marijuana motions.

I arrived in Spokane Valley in 1975, at six weeks old. My large, loving, mixed-race family experienced its share of ups and downs and taught me the value of character, compassion, and community. My parents always worked for social justice, as youth leaders, social workers, public defenders, and activists, teaching their six children that we must use our gifts to help others. My first foray into politics came as a child, after my father was fired from his job simply because he was gay and my mother struggled to support the family as a single mother of six. My family experienced poverty, as well as discrimination based on race, gender, and sexual orientation. I helped my dad fight for a law to make discrimination against gay people illegal in the 1980’s. While that effort failed, neither I, nor my dad, would stop fighting for what’s right, because we knew it would happen one day. But I also experienced the incredible power of community support, and people looking out for me. I had the privilege of receiving scholarships to attend wonderful schools, such as Saint George’s School in Spokane. I recognized what an extraordinary opportunity this was and worked as hard as I could. I graduated in 1993 as valedictorian and was accepted into Yale University, where I earned a degree in clinical child psychology. Most importantly, I met my wife Amy on our second day on campus. We fell in love instantly, married just after graduation, and will soon celebrate our nineteenth anniversary. We have two amazing teenage sons, Alex and Aidan, both students at West Valley High School. My professional life has been devoted to public service. I began as a case manager, treatment provider, and mentor for juvenile offenders and kids in special education classrooms, and as a Court Appointed Special Advocate. I served adults with serious mental illness while working at Frontier Behavioral Health. I then went to Gonzaga Law School, as a Thomas More Scholar, so that I could learn the skills necessary to make a systemic difference. After graduating from GU law at the top of my class in 2006, I worked as an Assistant United States Attorney in Spokane and had the honor of representing the United States in a wide array of civil and criminal cases. I learned more about what government can do and found solutions to large challenges. I moved to private practice in 2012, and have zealously and successfully advocated for consumers victimized by corrupt businesses, people trapped in jails and mental hospitals, and workers who have faced discrimination. I have helped hundreds of people recover millions of dollars, and have stopped numerous illegal practices. Jaclyn Archer for Spokane County Vice-Chair Jaclyn Archer a senior undergrad student at Eastern Washington University getting a degree in English Literature with a minor in History. She is a journalist and writer. She has contributed to The Black Lens and worked for nearly two school years as a section editor at The Easterner. She has appeared on other KYRS shows (such as Praxis and F Yes!) as the Community Relations Officer for Eastern’s Black Student Union, and a representative of the Multicultural Coalition. She has volunteered with PJALS, WashingtonCAN!, Spokane NOW, and am a member of the Spokane NAACP. Most recently (Saturday) I was elected as the Vice-Chair of Spokane County’s Democratic Central Committee When Andrew Biviano asked me to run for Vice Chair of the Spokane County Democrats, I was skeptical. I’ve been a registered Democrat from the time I could vote. My allegiance was not born of party loyalty, but a desire to participate in the democratic process by caucusing. I voted for President Obama in 2012, and caucused for Bernie last March, but over the last eight years I have become disillusioned with the Democratic Party. But, I believe that the people of the Democratic party are genuine and committed to service. If we struggle to bring about a progressive future, it is only because we need to reforge the tools of progress within our political organizations. I do not wish to stand on the outside of this process. I wish to take part, not only as a voter and active citizen, but as Vice Chair of the Spokane County Democratic Central Committee. What does change look like? I have often asked ‘What is the purpose of the Democratic Party?’ The answer is simple: To elect Democrats to political office. The more important question is ‘Why?’ If Democrats cannot offer people something more or better than the other guy, we’re just trying to win for the sake of winning. But I believe the party is more than that. The Democratic Party has built itself up appealing to labor, to women, to the Black, the Brown, the queer, the immigrant, the atheist, and the disenfranchised. When we convince them to vote for us, we are making a promise to give them in return what the other guy can’t or won’t deliver: justice, equality, a voice, a consistent ear to their interests, and candidates who will make them a priority. I envision a Spokane Democratic Party that acts as a service organization, that gets involved with the liberation of its constituency. That means joining hands with the NAACP, with Planned Parenthood, with labor unions, queer organizations, and others who are likely to see their government protection eroded over the next four years. This means listening to the needs of our constituencies, extending tangible support, and shaping our vision of government into a tool that better serves them, and the greater purpose of social advancement and harmony. This is the change that must come to the Democratic Party. Spokane needs and deserves a truly progressive voice, and I want to be a part of the team that shapes it. Why trust me? Firstly, I’m an outsider. I only care about how best to serve the people of Spokane, and have no previous political conflicts with the potential to sway my judgment. I am involved. Since I made Spokane my new home nearly four years ago, I have been involved in progressive causes with the Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane (PJALS). I have lent my voice to the cause of gender and race pay equality in the City of Spokane, partnering with our local chapter of the National Organization for Women as a leader with Washington Community Action Network (Washington CAN!). I have written several articles for The Black Lens, including one that tackled the racist and problematic statements of Interim Police Chief Jim McDevitt. I have interviewed the Mayor’s Office and marched on City Hall. In short, I care, and I put myself on the line on a regular basis, fighting for the kind of community Spokane can be. I am an innovator. As a student at Eastern Washington University I provided tutorials on journalistic writing that I created myself to introduce new staff writers to the craft. I am currently serving my second year term as Community Relations Officer for the Black Student Union, an office which I have expanded to Community Liaison, thus building a relationship with the local NAACP. I acted as Revitalizing Facilitator for Eastern’s Scary Feminist Club, and I manage the social media and publicity for Eastern’s Multicultural Coalition, which is responsible for expanding the square footage and staffing of the Multicultural Center being built in the new Student Center. I get things done. Finally, I live at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. My Perspective I grew up in a small, rural town in Eastern Washington. College Place, separated by a three-lane road from Walla Walla, has only 8,000 residents, over 90% of whom are devoutly Christian. It was a wonderful upbringing in many respects. What it lacked, however, was an understanding of my complete identity. At the age of twenty, I walked away from the faith of my childhood for good. It was a difficult decision, one I took several years to reach. But once I left the ideology of my parents and hometown, I was free to discover my identity as a member of the queer community. Over the last several years I have come out to my family, friends, and marriage partner as a bisexual and genderfluid individual. I have also come into my own as an activist who is not only anti-racist, but pro-Black. My membership in the Black, woman-loving, and trans communities gives me a unique first-hand perspective of multiple constituencies the Democratic Party aims to serve. While no one person can ever speak for a whole group, I can offer personal experience and credibility on issues of race, orientation, and gender identity.

Paul Lane and myself talked outside a pub in the wind and I nibbled my nuts! Paul talked about the Children of Mercy cd in aid of Cystic Fibrosis. Below is the press release CHILDREN OF MERCY BOOK AND COMPILATION BRING STORIES OF INDIE MUSIC TO LIGHT FOR A GOOD CAUSE Spokane, Wash. (April 1st, 2011) — A good cause is always worth supporting, so the fact that the Children of Mercy book and CD compilation help out two causes make this project a must-see. Children of Mercy: Tale and Teachings From The World of Independent Music is a collection of stories and essays by several elite members of the indie music world that will not only open the eyes of the outside world to the independent music scene but also raise money to fight Cystic Fibrosis. Along with the compilation CD, the book brings to light stories from the independent music scene while it raises money for the fight against Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that has affected the son of one the contributors, Swedish musician and writer Ola Nyberg. Ron Trembath, creator of the project, pursued funding for the book publishing on Kickstarter and obtained over $2900 in pledges to ensure that 100% of the profits and royalties from the book go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in the US, as well as the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in the UK. Anna Lynne Williams of the indie folk legends Trespassers William, Anja McCloskey of Haunted Stereo& Sotones Records, Shawn Fogel of Golden Bloom, and Portland Mercury journalist Ryan Feigh, andPastime Records CEOAndy Botterill are just some of the artists, producers, label runners, promoters, writers, and listeners from the world of independent music that have contributed their essays on life in the independent music scene. A wide array of topics including, DIY, effects of the internet, performing, break ups, and indie history will be found in this treasure trove of indie music perspectives. The book seeks to open the eyes to the outside world on how tough it can be to be a solely independent musician as well as highlight why it might just be the only true way to be a real artist in the musical world. It also gives advice to those currently living the independent music "dream" or those that are interested in creating music without the fear of losing their soul to the media monster know as the mainstream. The compilation CD was released on The Beechfields Record Label on February 8th.  The book was released through Marquette Books LLC on April 1st.  Physical CDs include artwork by San Diego based pop artist Kathie Bayne.  The CD includes tracks by Moneytree, Menhirs Of Er Grah, Lotte Kestner (Anna-Lynne Williams' solo project), Robin Grey, Cleeman and The Pristines.
