Today hundreds of homophobic anti-trans haters swarmed Seattle's Capital Hill gayborhood on the exact same spot that the Black Lives Memorial Garden (#BLMG) once stood as a symbol against hate.

Last year Seattle Mayor Bruce Harroll razed the garden because it became a site of regular Mutual Aid outreach. The mayor claimed the garden was a disruption to the peace and had it destroyed!

So today hundreds of conservatives from the other side of the state descended on Seattle led by disgraced WA Republican politician, domestic terrorist, and right wing extremist Matt Shea.

He failed at violently overthrowing WA state and for some reason is still allowed outside of jail cell.

He now leads a brand of hate targeting trans people and leads events where KKK members and neo-Nazis would be at home.

It took all the cops SPD could muster to enable the right wing terrorist led event to go on uninterrupted.

Seattle cops arrested 18 to 30 people who were protesting the anti trans event.

The arrests were extremely violent and at least one person was sent to the hospital. I'm getting reports of things like a bike cop headbutting a woman then macing her after she was down and possibly already handcuffed.

Significant police use of force.

#CalAnderson #BLMG #LGBTQIA #Seattle #SPD #ACAB

First off, if you witnessed or were the victim of police excessive use of force today please please please take the time to file a complaint with the Seattle OPA.

If you have footage that may be important to someone's case or OPA complaint please carefully review and backup ASAP.

If you need assistance with an OPA complaint, want to speak to a reporter or have footage ppl may need please don't hesitate to drop me a DM if you need help with what to do.

Accounts from activist OTG indicate that things were tense most of the day.

Trans activist held a counter event on the opposite side of Cal Anderson park with live punk bands and scenes of trans joy, the very thing the fash hoped to erase.

Meanwhile black bloc protesters disrupted the right wing event. OTG reports indicate the cops began pouncing on black bloc activist as soon as they approached the hate event. Seemingly for no reason mass arrests began taking place.

#Seattle #ACAB #SPD

As the initial mass arrests started, apparently for getting too close to the fash event, police took on an increasingly aggressive and agitated stance attempting to keep counter protesters out.

In this clip of SPD forming a line former Seattle city council candidate Aaron Marshall is seen wielding a 40 mm teargas launcher. I wonder why that fascist pig lost his election 🤔

The cops struggled to keep the dueling protests separated.

From accounts on the ground the vibes were certifiably stonewall.

According to activist with DivestSPD the cops began to provoke the counter protesters by randomly patrolling into the counter protest crowd.

nullagent May 25

Despite all the cops, beatings, pepper spray and arrests trans activist continued to get into the fascist event to hold pro-trans signs. They loudly booed the fascist speakers as they attempted to speak.

SPD struggled to keep up, the trans people kept getting in.

nullagent May 25

The cop tactics of separating the crowds were largely unsuccessful. Causing cops to eventually form additional police lines inside of the hate event to prevent counter protesters from getting close enough to crash the stage.

Tensions were very high and SPD called for backup from additional police agencies to help flood the park in cops.

nullagent May 25

SPD evidently felt they might potentially loose control of the situation, not like they ever had it under control, and ordered the fascists to end their event early bc they literally couldn't protect them for longer.

So today, Seattle fought like hell and wrecked the fascist's plans, allegedly. Had the cops not been there the fascists wouldn't have even stood a chance holding an event here!

Today's state sponsored hate fest would NOT have been possible if not for the city of Seattle crushing Black led Mutual Aid projects first.

The BLM Memorial Garden and the near daily breakfast program and weekly free grocery events were brutally crushed just like the Black Panther programs which inspired us.

We knew when the city took our garden they had no idea how to better use that space.

Today shows we were right!

Attached: 3 images Happy heavenly birthday to chairman Fred Hampton. Hampton was the visionary behind the breakfast program the Black Panthers were known for among many other projects. It's incredible that he started feeding dozens of kids while he was only 10 himself 🤯 The sheer scale and growth in these programs that Fred achieved in such a short time is literally why there are so many government run school meal programs now. They felt existentially threatened by Black people NOT starving. #FredHampton

I reported tirelessly OTG about the destruction of the #BLMG and how the destruction of Black led spaces, #homeless outreach, #housing rights, the #FreeGaza #StudentSpring and NOW #LGBTQIA community are all under threat by the exact same local politicians!

We ALL share an enemy in Mayor Bruce Harrell, City Council President Sara Nelson, republican city attorney Ann Davidson and of course the Seattle police.

We need more eyes on these ghouls!

Tomorrow is the five year anniversery of the start of the George Floyd protests in Seattle.

SPD really picked one hell of away to start the weekend and I can only imagine tomorrow's events may see even higher attendance than expected.

If you're able to show up for this tomorrow lets make sure SPD and Seattle's shit bad politicians know we have NO tolerance for fascists sympathizing cops!

Overnight the far right church leaders who led the fascist riot in Seattle yesterday vowed a night march starting from their church in U District tonight.

These guys typically march the one block around their church then call it quits. The issue tho is AFTER these events riled up fascists sometimes look for gay people to harass.

Most of their last minute events are a snoozefest, so likely to fizzle tonight imo.

This same church, Pursuit NW, last year led a march of zionist complete with flownin recent IDF soldiers and assailants from the 2024 UCLA zionist riot. They publicly described their event as a "buzzsaw" intended to destroy UW student #Gaza camp.

At the time UW, much like the city of Seattle yesterday, gave the fash event formal blessing and scolded the students to disband to avoid conflict with imported IDF soldiers.

We have an urgent request for court watch support tomorrow, 1pm, for the so far 10 leftist activist facing felony charges for protesting these hate preachers.

It is absolutely critical that we pack these hearings!

If you want to have an impact but don't want to face the risk of arrests or police injuring you THIS is the activism for you!

It's highly effective and literally all you have to do is watch and possibly take notes.

For tomorrow's court watch please be aware the court room itself is fairly small so we hopefully will fill it and spill over into the halls.

So if you get there late please be aware that you may have to stand/sit in the halls and that the judges are made aware of how many people there are.

You will have an impact even if you don't make it in time to snag a court room seat.

So please do arrive early.

Thankfully these aren't 8am hearings!

It's standing room only at the security check point. Direct friends and family are being given priority. No one else is being let in.

Some people who made it in but were listening from the hall (which is typically allowed) were escorted out.

nullagent May 26

There's around 50 ppl waiting to get in. We've only seen a few ppl let in.

The cops have stopped letting people in. They say they don't have the overflow spaces available and that they are not going to make any more accommodations such as zoom or rooms with a video stream.

>> for no reason

Not exactly. The reason why cops arrest antifascists is because they support fascism. Otherwise they would resign and find a useful job… And by useful, I obv. mean useful to society, not to shareholders…

And no, you don't fight back against fascism by "peaceful protest". Fighting back against hate and violence is necessarily.

"Black bloc is bio'ebt bla bla, there's no need to bla. We should only support peaceful protest" BS is a rich white "centrist" privilege.

LukefromDC May 27

@nullagent Oh THIS is definately a police riot

nullagent May 27

This is only a FRACTION of the arrest footage, it was an absolute police trap beyond what i even understood before court watch today.

Speaking to recently released people and eye witnesses indicate the cops used multiple impossible oeders to entrap people into doing arrestable things like touching a fence... By throwing people into the fence then arresting them. Then the fence fell on and near people cause the cops to chase anyone who was hit by the flimsy temp fence 🫠

LukefromDC May 27

@nullagent Bet they'd be screaming if this was the other way around and we'd set a trap for them.

This has been done. Back in 2000 at the RNC Convention in Philly, we had banners strung across streets. Timoney's bike cops pulled out their knives, using them like cavalry sabers as they rode under the banners slashing them down.

Seeing this, some of our best fighters set a trap: another banner was strung across the road, but this one was reinforced with electrical wire. As soon as the bike cops hit it, the wire stopped their knives, and the combination of the wire and banners stopped the bike cops cold. All of them crashed in a single heap of bikes and cops.

@nullagent

the mayor saying chaos and confusion doesn't work, but in the NEXT SENTENCE says that the chaos caused the event to be shut down early
