We need your help in spreading the word and rallying support for another effort to make clergy mandatory reporters in Washington. The Clergy Accountability Coalition is a Washington based group of individuals across the religious and political spectrum working together to push our legislature to pass a Clergy Mandated Reporter bill this upcoming session. Meetings have been held with a large array of religious groups across denominations, survivor groups, tribal representatives, law groups, state senators and representatives, and the office of the WA State Attorney General. Please share this graphic and link and if you live in Washington, add your name in support of a clergy mandated reporter bill. The bill is filed and will be public soon. Please reach out to your representatives and ask them to support this mandated reporter bill!
Say you earn $1000 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. $24,000 a day. $8,760,000 a year. It would take you 22,945 years to earn the amount of money Musk's wealth has *increased since election day*. $201 BILLION DOLLARS in 43 days. At this moment (because it's ever increasing), earning $1,000 an hour 24/7, 365... It would take 52,968 years to match Musk's current wealth of $464 Billion. Musk spent over $250 million dollars to get Trump elected. That's an 80,300% ROI (so far). Put another way, Musk's $250M was recovered in under 80 minutes after the election. That's the man telling everyday Americans to prepare for "temporary hardship". That's the man along with Trump that just ordered the US government shut down. But go on telling me any of these people care about the price we pay for eggs 🙄

The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other. This technique is as old as the hills; it was practiced in almost every Greek city, and the moderns have only enlarged its scale.
If you feel the need to post that "people shouldn't stop being friends over politics," the feeling driving that is SHAME. You did something you knew would hurt people but you wanted to do it anyway. And now you want other people to validate your choice and make that icky feeling go away. Or at least just pretend it never happened. No. You are an adult, you made your choice, and now you can sit with that feeling.
