Tacoma Note: The car side show activity at 9th/Pacific on Saturday night did not send anyone to the hospital; the police driving directly into people did. Facts are facts. Focus on the actual harm.
I've heard more than a few stories recently about a small (growing?) group of local tech workers engaging in direct action and providing on-the-ground resources to protesters and mutual aid networks.
If that is you, I think you're pretty fucking dope. ❤️
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections building was set on fire during the second night of unrest in Kenosha. Reduced to rubble and ashes. This video was recorded before bulldozers were brought in. @cbschicago
📢We will not be deterred📢
The Mayor’s veto shows what we already knew: that she performs care for Black community while undermining community-led efforts to produce real safety that is not reliant on racist policing. Read on for our shared statement with @KCEquityNow.
George Floyd was murdered by the police after a convenience store employee called the police over an alleged counterfeit $20 bill. The cozy relationship that retail establishments tend to have with police must be abolished immediately--this person's life was put in mortal danger.
I was pulled over this morning while running. Motorcycle cops passes me smiles and waved at me and makes a left , I continue straight.30 seconds later he lights me up makes me stops running stares at me & I stare back. Then he says can you wear other type of clothing next time.
I make wtf face & then he tries to explain my clothing is kinda tight and there’s a lot of men in The morning and he wants to see more lose fitting reflective gear if I’m running what in the actual fuck?!?!?
This new footage proves definitively that it was Seattle Police who started the physical confrontation yesterday. I just found out that the person they arrested is not only still in jail away from their child, they are being kept in solitary confinement because they are trans.
Seattle Police are out of control. Just two nights after trying to hit protesters on the sidewalk in an unmarked truck, this large group of officers follows a nonviolent protest through Capitol Hill last night. They violently attack safety-vehicles and arrest several drivers.
White protester just yelled at Black policeman that he is a race traitor. He yelled back that she should shut up because she has never lived life as a Black man. Interesting conversation, esp because that’s the first time I’ve heard a cop respond to heckling. #seattleprotest
Protesters are demanding to speak to the commanding officer as well as the notice of encampment sweep. Police are denying both.

#chop is cool & all but it’s time to move on. Black people are still being murdered, SPD still is wrought w/ power hungry racists, and Breonna’s assassins are still walking free. What is our mission Seattle? What’s the goal? Cuz chop seems real close to settler shit imo
