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.

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.
