CULTURE WARSDonald Trump will be remembered for

corruption, incompetence, mass death and a failed coup, but it didn’t start in 2016. Culture war has been cultivated by the Republican Party for decades to gain and maintain power. It’s waged on a local, state and national scale.

The original goal was consolidation of wealth. When Obama ran for President it shifted to the consolidation of white power. Their tools are voter suppression, dark money, media propaganda and social network platforms.

Their foot soldiers have been armed with assault weapons for “sport” and told they have the right to dominate the rest of us. Their goal is not freedom, it’s the creation of a one-party state with an authoritarian leader at the top.

Many of Trump’s political enablers are now disavowing him, not because he tried to overturn a fair election but because he was clumsy and made them look bad. Remember who they are and don’t let them become the new leader of his zombies.

Remember the companies that peddled propaganda, financed operations and helped them organize: Fox, Koch, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others. They all need to be held accountable for the coup that was attempted on Jan. 6, 2021. If we don’t, this will happen again.

—Mark Ashworth, Bellingham

CIVIL DISCOURSEThe hostility and name-calling that I have

seen recently on various social media platforms is a perfect example of why our country had become so divided. It is like batting away mosquitos when there are bombers overhead.

Yes, we are frustrated with the destruction of our lives and the personal trauma that COVID-19 has brought to so many of us.

Yes, we are frustrated with the political climate and vitriol in Washington DC that is tearing this country apart.

Yes, we are appalled at the lawlessness that happened at the Capitol last week and in so many of our town and cities last summer.

Yes, we are concerned that our right to free speech is being controlled by the social media giants.

Yes, we are frustrated over many things over which we seem to have no control. We have lost the ability to argue about our frustrations in a civil manner and this is part of what is destroying our neighborhoods and our country.

We may not agree with what someone else has said or written and we have every right not to agree, just like the other person may not agree with us and has every right not to. We each have the right to our own opinions.

Calling each other names, belittling each other’s views and beliefs is not only likely

THISWEEK

COVER: Illustration by Dario Castillejos

When Vogue’s upcoming cover of Kamala Harris was prematurely leaked last weekend, controversy ensued. The magazine had chosen a casually dressed shot of Harris over one where she was posing in a light-blue suit against a gold background, and critics decried the choice—saying the historic election of the first woman and woman of color elected as VP of the United States demanded more gravitas. Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour defended the decision. “It was absolutely not our intention to in any way diminish the importance of the Vice President-elect’s incredible victory,” Wintour told the New York Times. “We want nothing but to celebrate Vice President-elect Harris’s amazing victory and the important moment this is in America’s history, and particularly for women of color, all over the world.”

WEB-ONLY PDFDEAR READERS—In a moment of constricted arts and entertainment coverage, and as a means to reduce costs and health risks to our production and distribution staff, Cascadia Weekly will produce a print version every other week at least through Phase 2 of the governor’s Safe Start program. We will continue to produce new articles each week and will post those online at www.cascadiaweekly.com.We’ll continue to produce a small PDF such

as this in alternate weeks to provide the special features many of our readers request. Look for our next print issue on the streets Weds., Jan. 20.For those who wish to support

Cascadia Weekly, see the information at www.cascadiaweekly.com/support. Thank you for your generosity at a difficult moment for the publishing industry.

01.13.21BY CAREY ROSS

RESTAURANT NEWSNOW OPEN

I firmly believe that all burgers are created equal, but some burgers are more equal than others, and those at the top of my list are smash burgers. However, they’re tough to find around here—until now. Carnal has launched a “smash burger and spicy chicken sandwich takeout spot” out of their kitchen that they’ve dubbed Comrade. They’re open for lunch at their State Street locale, with expanded hours to come.

NOW REOPENThe Fork at Agate Bay has always

served excellent food in understated fashion, and it is with their customary lack of fanfare that they recently announced they’ve reopened and are back in business. Now that we’re all mostly housebound, taking a trip to Lake Whatcom for some fine fare feels a bit like a much-needed vacation.

NOW REOPEN AGAINIt’s been a wild ride at Fairhaven Pizza

since the pandemic began. They closed during the first shutdown, reopened and made some tasty take-and-bake pizzas, closed again, were bought out by

the owners of Anmly Cafe, and, having spent some time retooling the menu, are prepping for another grand-ish reopening, set to happen very soon.

CLOSED FOR NOWWithout the ability

to seat people inside their expansive new space and given a sharp decrease in foot traffic, the Black Drop Coffeehouse has decided to go dark until restrictions ease a bit. Owners say safety concerns also led to the temporary closure, which should act as a reminder to us all that mask-wearing is good for both body and business.

DINING AL FRESCOIn their fight for survival, more local

eateries have expanded into outdoor dining areas. Pure Bliss is building out a cute sidewalk cafe where we can sit and have our just desserts, Locus unveiled their slice of outdoor seating, and Jalapeno’s Barkley locale will be ready to take your open-air order soon.

NOT A PRETTY PICTUREUPTOWN ART

The lovely folks at Uptown Art, who made us believe we could create works of art with a paintbrush in one hand and a glass of wine the other, has made the difficult decision to close their studio permanently. Unsurprisingly, the reason given was COVID and the sad reality that there’s no way of knowing when we’ll be able to sip and paint safely again. “We tried to hang in there as long as we could,” they said.

FOOD FOR THOUGHTICU RAISES FUNDS

According to the Industrial Credit Union—known to most us as ICU—one in five Whatcom County households now regularly visits an area food bank, meaning those food banks can use all the help they can get. To help “feed the need,” ICU is raising funds from Jan. 11-22 online at all its branches. Every $10 donation can buy $80 worth of food, so pony up a sawbuck or two.

to elicit an angry response (not to mention setting a poor example to our children) but it also adds to the division that our so-called leaders are fomenting on both sides of the isle. They are certainly not leading us toward reconciliation.

If we, at the grassroots level, are not able to disagree respectfully and civilly with each other; if we cannot first listen and then perhaps agree to disagree; then it is small wonder that our elected representatives in the House and Senate are unable to do so.

Rather than waiting for our “leaders” to set a civil example, why not “lead” from here where we live. Let’s put aside the rhetoric and argue respectfully.

—Helen Cooper, Sumas

WE MUST SPEAK FOR COMPASSION

We did it. With a little help from our friends and our local legislators, Rick Larsen, Suzan DelBene, and Maria Cantwell, we recently got the Global Child Thrive Act passed through the House and Senate. It was attached to the National Defense Authorization Act as “must pass” legislation. President Trump vetoed it, but on New Year’s Day the veto was overturned and so, as a rider, the GCTA was passed and became law.

You may recall several letters last April and May asking for your support for this bill. You may also remember last year when here in Bellingham a major childcare center was in danger of closing.

There was a realization of the need to have good, safe stimulating childcare for young Bellinghamsters, especially once the virus hit and essential workers could not continue to go to work unless their children were well taken care of.

The Global Child Thrive Act will provide quality health and early childhood education programs to our youngest world citizens in places of greatest need with the aid of Catholic Relief Services.

We are proud of our advocacy work with Catholic Relief Services and ask you to celebrate with our local CRS Chapter by also thanking our three supportive legislators who co-sponsored and championed the Global Child Thrive Act and participated in this hopeful bi-partisan effort.

CRS supports more than 55 Chapters throughout the U.S., providing tools and training to aid this work of democracy in action.

Sometimes we must be the voice speaking for compassion, the hands that help feed, clothe and shelter those most in need and be the ears listening to the cry of the poor.

—Annie Welch, Bellingham

FRIDAYGovernor Jay Inslee activates up to 750

members of the National Guard to work with the Washington State Patrol to protect the Capitol campus as the state Legislature prepares to convene its 105-day legislative session Monday. “As legislators begin their work on behalf of the people of the state of Washington, we must do whatever we can to ensure that they can do that work with-out fear, intimidation or harassment,” Inslee said in a statement. “The actions we saw in both Washington, D.C. and Olympia earlier this week were completely unacceptable and will not be repeated in our state capitol again.” [Office of Governor]

Senator Doug Ericksen introduces a bill that would limit the upcoming session’s duration and focus almost solely on COVID recovery. The 42nd District Republican says this would divert focus from what he calls the most radical agenda in history from the majority Democratic Party. Ericksen recommends a singular focus: dealing with COVID, getting kids back to school, start getting businesses open and addressing people who have been harmed by the pan-demic. [Washington Senate, KGMI]

As state lawmakers gear up for the new leg-islative session, advocates for environmental justice are urging them to pass the HEAL Act of 2021. The acronym stands for “Healthy Environment for All.” It aims to target state investments into areas that have suffered the worst effects of pollution. The effort is being led by Debra Lekanoff, the 40th Dis-trict representative who wants the bill to do more for low-income communities and peo-

ple of color, who are often the hardest hit by the effects of climate change. That same group and many other affiliates and local tribes helped develop the alternative carbon fee initiative in 2018, a key feature of which was the requirement that revenue collected on carbon pollution permits be invested in those hard-hit communities. [NPR]

Coronavirus vaccines have been slow to arrive in Whatcom County. County health of-ficials report that just 5,900 doses have ar-rived here so far—roughly 37 percent of the estimated number of doses the county needs to vaccinate tier 1A, not including those in long-term care. Those in Tier-1 include health care workers with direct patient contact, paramedics and EMTs and residents of long-term care facilities. The Washington Depart-ment of Health (DOH) announces that based on projections, all eight regions in Washing-ton must remain in Phase 1 lockdown until at least Mon., Jan. 18. [WUC, WSDOH]

MONDAYA new center for adults struggling with

mental illness and addiction has opened in Bellingham. The Crisis Stabilization Center began accepting clients this week, according to the Whatcom County Health Department. The center replaces the smaller Whatcom County Crisis Triage Center. The older center helped stabilize five people who were suffer-ing a mental health crisis and eight people withdrawing from drugs and/or alcohol at a time. The center opened more than a decade ago and will close now. The new center has 32 beds, divided between mental health and detox efforts. [Bellingham Herald, Whatcom County Health Dept.]

01.06.20

WEDNESDAYAt least eight members of Washington’s congressional delegation call for Don-ald Trump’s removal from office after the president encouraged his support-ers to march to the steps of Congress to protest the results of the Electoral College vote that certified Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. A growing list of politicians from both parties say the president egged on his supporters before they stormed the Capitol and wreaked havoc for seven hours. One person was shot and killed inside, and three others died from “med-ical emergencies” that happened during the melee. [Washington Post]

“This week was one of the darkest in our nation’s history,” Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) said in a statement supporting the impeachment of President Trump. “For the first time in over 200 years, an armed rebellion stormed into the U.S. Capitol with the goal of stopping Congress from car-rying out its constitutional duty to certify the 2020 presidential election results. Most alarming, this violent mob was actively encouraged by the sitting President of the United States. When Congress pleaded for help, he did noth-ing. Nothing to protect the full legislative branch of our federal government, nothing to protect his own vice president, and nothing to protect the presi-dential line of succession.” [U.S. House of Representatives]

Trump administration officials auction off oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, capping Republicans’ decades-long quest to drill in one of the nation’s most vast unspoiled wild places. The move marks one of the most significant environmental rollbacks the president has accom-plished in his term. The sale of 11 tracts on just over 550,000 acres netted $14.4 million, a tiny fraction of what Republicans initially predicted it would yield. Only two of the bids were competitive, so nearly all of the land sold for the minimum price of $25 an acre. [Washington Post]

The Trump administration is trying to push through a last-minute rule that could force banks to offer loans to gunmakers, oil exploration companies, or to finance high-cost payday lenders. The move follows announcements by the biggest U.S. banks that there are some industries and activities they don’t want to finance, such as drilling for oil in Alaska’s Arctic Na-tional Wildlife Refuge, or making loans to gun manufacturers who make assault-style weapons.

CAPITOL PROTEST

Pro-Trump protesters broke through a gate at the Washington state governor’s mansion Weds., Jan. 6 and dozens of people gathered on the lawn. The crowd, some of whom were armed, touted repeated but unfounded allegations of election fraud. Their protest came on the same day a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

158 of 176Number of regular and special Senate elections held since 2012 that have been won by candidates who belonged to or were aligned with the party that also won that

state’s presidential race.

34 of 35Number of Senate elections that aligned with the party that also won that state’s

presidential race in 2020—a strong statistical correlation that argues against wide-scale election fraud. This number includes Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, who won Senate seats in Georgia after that state’s electors voted in support of President-Elect Joe Biden. The lone exception in 2020 was Republican Sen. Susan

Collins of Maine, who won a fifth term even as Biden won the statewide vote.

2Percent of Biden voters who believe those who voted for Trump understand them. A

similarly small percent of Trump supporters believe those who voted for Biden understand them. The vast majority in each group believe the other group doesn’t understand them.

12 13Percent of Biden voters who say they wished Trump supporters would not stereotype them and their views. An analogous 11 percent of Trump supporters say they wished Biden

voters would not stereotype them or their views. Both groups thought the stereotypes the other group used were

flawed and inaccurate.

Percent of Biden voters who expressed a desire to find common ground with

Trump supporters on public policy matters important to America. Only 5 percent of Trump supporters expressed a desire to find common ground with Biden voters. About 6 percent of each

group thought the other group was grossly misinformed.

23Percent of Trump supporters who characterized Biden and his supporters in harsh

terms. Roughly 21 percent of Biden voters characterized Trump and his supporters in harsh terms, based on public polling shortly after the election.

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISEDOn Jan. 6, Whatcom County Sheriff ’s Office deputies responded to a report of an assault near Sedro-Woolley. The victim said he had been sleeping in his bedroom when he was awakened by his elderly father yelling at the televi-sion in the living room. His father then opened the bedroom door, pointed a shotgun directly at his son, and fired a single round, narrowly missing him. The father then left the bedroom and be-gan talking to the television again. The son was able to flee the residence unin-jured and call 911. Deputies found the shotgun, a bullet hole through a pillow and a bullet lodged in the mattress. The father was taken into custody without incident. He told deputies that the TV news told him to do it.

GOODBYE, 2020On Dec. 31, Blaine officers responded to a party because someone had their car blocked in. The driver was reported to be intoxicated. The driver got his car out and drove off before the police ar-rived. When the police approached the house, they did not hear any loud music or people. The officers contacted the resident and saw two other men in the house. The officer determined there was no party, just a small gathering of peo-ple to celebrate the New Year. The police circulated to find the intoxicated driver, but could not locate him.

On Jan. 1, a Blaine officer learned of a domestic assault. After interviewing the parties, the officer learned that a wom-an threw a drinking glass at her husband, which hit him in the head. She also hit her 18-year-old son with a coat hanger when he tried to separate them. The officer placed the woman under arrest and she was transported to Whatcom County Jail.

On Dec. 31, Blaine Police learned of a quarrel between two brothers. Officers arrived to find only one of the brothers, as the other had already left the scene. The two brothers were arguing over money. During the argument, one of the brothers started walking toward the other, which prompted him to pull out a knife. The brother without the knife chased the other, who fled.

NOT A CRIME TO BE RUDEOn Dec. 26, a Blaine woman complained to police that a man had security cam-

eras inside of his apartment, which were pointing towards the parking lot. When she confronted him about the cameras, the man was rude to the woman. The po-lice officer explained that it was not a crime to have cameras on his own prop-erty and it was not a crime to be rude. The woman hung up on the officer.

On Dec. 26, Blaine Police responded to a 911 hang up call. “It was determined a woman called 911 because a guest was act-ing strangely,” police reported. “The caller reported the guest had since left and did not anticipate any more problems.”

RESTROOM RUMBLE On Jan. 6, Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office deputies broke up a fight in a restroom at the Whatcom County Court-house. Deputies learned that a 33-year-old Bellingham man was using the restroom when he was approached by fa-cilities personnel who asked him to leave the restroom, as scheduled maintenance was needed. The man refused, became confrontational, and aggressively pushed the county employee, breaking his finger and blocking his escape route. Deputies arrested the attacker. A search of his backpack revealed methamphetamine, a hatchet and four knives. Deputies also learned that the fire alarm device, locat-ed on the northern wall of the restroom, had been tampered with and thereby ac-tivated the fire alarm. When the man was booked into Whatcom County Jail, anoth-er large fixed-blade knife was found.

UNCLEAR ON THE INSTRUCTIONOn Jan. 4, Blaine Police responded to a complaint of two transients sleeping inside the Post Office. When the officers arrived there was only one person sleep-ing on the counter. The man was given a verbal trespass warning.

On Jan. 4, a Blaine patrol officer re-sponded to a trespass complaint at the Post Office. Two transients were sleep-ing inside. The men were given verbal trespass warnings.

On Jan. 4, a Blaine patrol officer was conducting routine patrols when he noticed a person previously trespassed from the Post Office sleeping inside. The man was cited for criminal trespass and released. He was also given a ride to Bellingham's Base Camp.

’TIS THE SEASONOn Dec. 27, a Blaine woman reported that a transient came to her house with-out shoes, and asked if she could have a pair. The woman gave the visitor a pair of shoes. Police gave the visitor a ride to a shelter upon her request.
