Because nothing says “justice” like arson and cheering on mass murder. At the University of Washington, the anti-Israel student group SUPER (Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return) went full lunatic on Monday—occupying the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building, lighting dumpsters on fire, and allegedly glorifying Hamas’ October 7 terrorist rampage that left 1,200 dead and 251 kidnapped.

Thirty of these geniuses were arrested after blocking access to campus facilities and turning the place into a third-world riot zone. But hey, they’re just “activists,” right?

Federal officials—including members of Trump’s antisemitism task force and even RFK Jr.—are now questioning why a federally funded university is tolerating open harassment, violent intimidation, and antisemitism on campus. Good question.

The Left insists it’s about “equity” and “liberation,” but apparently that includes praising terrorists and endangering fellow students. And if you’re wondering where the university leadership was during all this? So are the rest of us. Read more at the New York Post.

Civil discourse officially died—again—at the UW when a volunteer for Turning Point USA, Mia Parsons, had a bag of feces launched at her by a protester. Yes, really. While she was calmly checking in attendees, some unhinged leftist decided the best way to “debate” conservatism was with biological warfare.

Mia, showing more grace than her attacker could spell, laughed it off and even prayed for the protesters—because unlike the mob, she still believes in decency. “I’m glad it was in a bag,” she quipped. And yet, somehow, she’s the one treated like a villain on this campus.

This isn’t a one-off, either. It’s part of a disturbing pattern at UW, where conservative speakers are met with hysteria, harassment, and now—human waste. Apparently, throwing poop is now part of the “progressive” playbook.

So the next time someone tells you the Left is all about love and tolerance, just remember: their idea of dialogue is a Ziploc full of excrement. Read more at MyNorthwest.com.

Washington Attorney General Nick Brown has once again fired up the taxpayer-funded lawsuit machine—this time to sue President Trump over an executive order declaring a “national energy emergency.” That makes 17 lawsuits just against Trump’s administration since January. At this point, Brown’s office might as well install a “Sue Trump” button on every desk.

Trump’s executive order aims to fix the energy mess left by the last administration, pointing out that rising energy prices and supply issues are hammering Americans—especially those on low or fixed incomes. Brown’s response? Basically: “What energy crisis?” Apparently, the lights are still on at his office, so everything must be fine.

Never mind that utilities and energy experts—including ones in the Pacific Northwest—have warned of looming shortages thanks to surging demand from EV mandates, server farms, and general grid strain. Even Jay “Green-at-All-Costs” Inslee admitted in 2024 that the energy crunch is so real we might need to kill off a few endangered hawks to make way for more wind turbines. But sure, Nick, no emergency here.

Brown claims the real emergency is that Trump’s order might let oil and gas projects skip some red tape under the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. Because obviously, what America needs right now is more bureaucratic delays and less energy. That’ll really help with affordability.

He also took a swipe at Trump for exempting solar and wind from the order, apparently unaware that those are the only kinds of projects his own allies are racing to build—even if it means bulldozing endangered wildlife habitats in the process.

And just to complete the liberal lawsuit bingo card, Washington is joined by the usual climate-frenzied suspects: California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and a parade of other blue states that treat fossil fuels like a war crime.

So while energy prices climb and the grid teeters, Nick Brown’s priority is making sure no gas project moves forward without an army of environmental lawyers. Nice to know the Democratic agenda still runs on lawsuits, not logic. Read more at Center Square.

Socialist State Rep. Shaun Scott—best known for being allergic to dissent and irony—has decided the best way to “represent” his constituents is by silencing them. Scott is preemptively blocking journalists, activists, and yes, even the taxpayers he supposedly works for, from his official legislative X (Twitter) account. The account, @Scott43LD, is used exclusively for government business, links to his legislative site, and discusses policy. You know, like an official account.

That’s a big First Amendment no-no. The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that public officials can’t just block people from accounts they use for official communication. But that hasn’t stopped Scott, who clearly doesn’t want to deal with pesky things like “questions,” “criticism,” or “accountability.”

Scott’s staff laughably tried to claim that only his official Facebook page counts as legislative, as if the near-identical X account isn’t full of town hall invites and legislative updates. The House’s own Ethics Board has said using a personal account for state business makes it official—and yes, blocking people to suppress criticism could very well be an ethics violation. Oops.

Among the blocked? KTTH’s Jason Rantz, who happens to be both a journalist and a constituent. Why the block? Possibly because Scott didn’t want anyone connecting his cheerleading for UW’s Hamas-apologist student occupiers—who caused over $1 million in damages—to his public office. Unfortunately for him, people noticed.

Let’s not forget, this is the same Shaun Scott who whined in a campaign video that it was unfair someone dared to run against him. Poor guy—democracy is so hard when people don’t just shut up and comply.

So yes, Washington Democrats brought you higher taxes, rising crime, and now, elected officials who muzzle dissent on social media. The party of “transparency and justice,” everyone! Read more at KTTH.
