This is an important examination of an early draft and deployment of The Blueprint of Repression that may be replicated, refined, and deployed in A Community Near You

That teen anti-graffiti specialist is just 1/10 of the $1.6 million in new spending on graffiti abatement in Harrell's budget. The city's latest budget forecast showed a deficit of more than $200 million that will require budget cuts in many other areas, but graffiti always seems to be top priority.

"World Cup" appears 23 times in the budget, an indication of how heavily the city is relying on new revenues, including admissions taxes and sales taxes, from people coming to Seattle from all over the world.

A second SABF has hit the Seattle Center on Oct. 18 & 19... We must clarify that this is not us. Our shit is FREE! The Anarchist Bookfair is also mask required 🖤

Today September 23 at 10:20am La Resistencia volunteers who observe the deportation flights informed us about the number of people deported from and transferred from Northwest Detention Center

This is why many people have no faith in politicians generally. No matter how many equity rules we set in place, the amount of public outreach that's done, the obvious sentiment being for one thing over another, politicians may still just choose to listen to a couple loud voices behind closed doors.

NEW: In an investigation for @realchangenews.bsky.social, I found that Seattle’s UCT storage program rarely returns belongings collected at sweeps to homeless people. Only 1 in 15 instances, or 7% of the time, led to property going back to its original owners. Most was disposed of after 70 days.

Solidarity forever but go Mariners @spacecityao.bsky.social

It's shut the fuck up Friday y'all!

Fare enforcement isn’t about revenue. It’s about keeping the homeless off transit

Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression crimethinc.com/Safeguarding Donald Trump has signaled that he is expanding his offensive against immigrants to target critics of his regime as well. Everyone should read this guide spelling out concrete steps we can take to prepare.

Anarchist media is not only super important right now, but also desired and feasible

3 city council members have "backgrounds" in intelligence agencies so maybe not a huge coincidence

“His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies.” from ‘The Simple Sabotage Field Manual’ a document written by the Office of Strategic Services in 1944 & declassified by the CIA in 2008.

This CIA manual perfectly sums up the Seattle process... Our city's government is just slowing us down.

It might not be happy, but it's meme Monday everybody🖤

'5-6 story huge buildings destroy neighborhoods!' you live in a city

In this moment of emergency, a lot of people are realizing that they can just… do things. Without people giving them directions or instructions, people are just showing up to escort their neighbors to school, to cook them meals, to share resources & support.

It’s pretty sick that Seattle is very much a “flyers stapled to phone poles” type of city, even still

We had a record number of applications and we did what we could to make this the biggest SABF to date! Even with the spacing adjustments and single day slots, we had to make hard decisions, but we appreciate everyone for applying! We will try to give all our tablers on bluesky a tag 🖤

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

Our city council is full of spooks

Amendment D (CM Strauss): reduces expansion of CCTV to only Stadium district as it could become a target during the World Cup. He wants to take more time to plan and review more expansion than that. The actions of the federal gov't gives him pause.

The bigger effort that city council is scrambling for is the F¡F@ W0R£D €U₱

How it's currently going

Meme Monday!

Wow, 115 total SODA orders issued in Seattle to date, per Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison. When I checked with the court in early July for my Bolts article, that number was in the mid-20s. seattle.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=...

Printable format as is for Seattle

SABF gets a mattress!

The map won't quite load at airnow.gov... I'm guessing because so many Seattleites are wondering if Smoketember has arrived... Fires now ring the Puget Sound region in almost every direction. #wawx

For my Seattle darlings - aqi is at 144, be mindful of outside activities and consider throwing on some air filters if you have them.

Newly obtained public records reveal ICE and other feds are quietly requesting surveillance data on a little-known Seattle police email list as City Council considers a massive expansion of its Real-Time Crime Center next week. www.divestspd.com/p/feds-wa-po...

For the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners FREE ALL PRISONERS

I went on Hacks & Wonks to discuss the new proposed Seattle surveillance expansion and tie it to the increasing surveillance network nationwide. For example, did you know that once you get in your car, you're probably being tracked? License plate readers have proliferated across the country.

Since it apparently needs clarifying: We are anarchists, antifascists, and abolitionists. We do not think the government or the police are coming to save us. We can only save each other. We keep us safe.

The only history more completely buried than anarchist history (that i've found) is sex worker history. If someone was famous for ANYTHING other than sex work, there's no fucking way it'll be mentioned what they did for work.

one of the most consistent things I find in history is that if someone is really famous for something other than being an anarchist, their anarchism will be stripped out of basically every reference to them.

Eric King was subjected to the state's repressive apparatus in one of its most abjectly dehumanizing & cruel forms. He faced it with admirable determination & fortitude, coming out on the other side of a decade of incarceration with his anarchist convictions, & his humanity, unbroken.
