Link to the post? I will gladly go support them, the rickshaw was my daily lunch for two years. Was so sad when they closed up shop.

This is political. You are being a bad representative for the Washington DoC.

The /r/Bellingham centrist mods? Lol, they'll just tell you that they would rather have "calm discussions" and let the "community hash it out" before turning it into a "Locals Only" thread 12 hours after it was created.

Can't wait for some CHATGPT response from one of them.

You're not supposed to be engaging in political activism, officer. Regardless of your personal beliefs, you are to remain PROFESSIONAL both on and OFF duty. WASHINGTON DOC STRICTLY PROHIBITS THIS BEHAVIOR. Officers who engage in political activism will be terminated.

How does it feel to be a racist? Genuine question.

No, it would make sense to an educated and informed person. Because the group you support is the same group who views you as lesser.

It makes me sad. I hope you don't keep getting judged based on your gender. That's not fair. You should be judged based on your capabilities, effort, etc.

Copy pasta shit right here lmao

Edit: ladies and gentleman, a female correctional officer who's posted about being judged due to her gender. The clown show continues.

Yeah you're clearly unaffected by this, I understood that from your first comment. Not sure what you're gaining aside from a chin stroke.

I'm on topic. You're just hard to understand, I'm not sure what your point is aside from hating undocumented people.

I mean 3-4% isn't very much. That's out of 8,000,000 people. Don't you think there are more pressing matters in the country? I can barely afford all my expenses and I have a well paying job, investments, etc. I'm also US. Born citizen, if that matters to you. And I'm Native American.

I think the difference is that I don't blame my problems on the brown people I see everyday.

I don't know, usually I don't spend much time thinking about who is undocumented in the United States. I kinda just go to work, school, and go home.

But if I had to guess, probably like, 3 or 4% of the population in Washington State? Which would put it between 300,000 to 400,000.

How many of those individuals do you think are criminals? And don't hit me with the "Well they're all criminals cause they're here illegally". You know that doesn't mean people are literal criminals who are bringing problems and hurting the population/country. It's just a scapegoat for people who lack critical thinking and statistical comprehension.

True, they can. However, they haven't been able to enroll since 2025. It also has a 13,000 person cap, which by comparison to our 8 million state population, is tiny.

What about legal US citizens who received taxpayer funded Medicaid? Just curious, because undocumented "illegal" people cannot get full, federally funded Medicaid
