We've created a zine reviewing a number of prominent individuals associated with the far-right group "COPS NW" that local folks should be aware of right now. Images of all the pages (Cover and page 1 below) are in the following thread, but if you want a .pdf copy, just email us!
Pages 2 and 3, featuring Audra Price and Timothy Ryerson. And yeah, we chose the picture of her wearing the tiara because she does very regularly wear it out and about to actions...
Pages 4 and 5, featuring Andrew Duncomb, or "Black Rebel," and Ashley McCauley.
Pages 6 and 7, featuring Christopher McCauley and Monica Noble.
Pages 8 and 9, featuring Eric Oelkers and Sorbeah Almosa (aka Ara Almosa/Ara Moses).
Page 10, featuring Quincy Franklin, and the back cover of the zine with our contact information!
Just wanted to quickly add that in addition to more information being available on our website, a search for tweets from our account featuring any of these names will also give you lots more information and images!

Thanks to a leaked chat publicized by @WANaziWatch, we'd like to introduce you to West Sound Proud Boy vetting officer Mike Babbitt of Bremerton, WA. A former Idaho cop and former DOD contractor in the Middle East, Mike organized West Sound PB attendees in Olympia yesterday.
More information about the PBs that Mike organized to attend the violent fascist rally in Olympia yesterday can be found here:
Mike likes to supplement his taste for domestic fascist violence with racist and Islamophobic statements stemming from his experiences violently occupying other countries!

Anti-semitism is an issue that has often been misunderstood or underestimated by the US Left. It remains a central organizing principle of the right as is clear from the popular QANON conspiracy theory, and incidents like the Tree of Life synagogue shooting.
Almost any time that antisemitism as an issue is raised, there will be a response regarding Israel's human rights abuses against Palestinians. Treating the Jewish diaspora & the Israeli state as a singular entity is in fact a relic of an old anti-semitic narrative: dual loyalty.
Proud Boys hate group member Drew Duncomb, who participated in the deadly Unite The Right neo-Nazi rally, leaps to the vigorous defense of a racist COPS NW member who called a black woman the n-word.
Patriot Prayer member Skylor Jernigan, who was recently found in contempt for refusing to surrender his firearms after shooting into a crowd of protesters in August and is prohibited from possessing weapons, indiscriminately sprays people with bear spray.
Violent COPS NW member Jeremy Roberts (twitter.com/search?q=from%…), who uses Audra Price's events as a pretext for aggressive assaults, is also seen in the previous video doing the thing he does.
A thread about dangerously violent & volatile Patriot Prayer member Chandler Pappas (twitter.com/search?q=from%…), who is currently enjoying the systematic impunity & assistance that PNW police have offered to far-right & fascist agitators in recent years.
On 8/11, a judge signed a family abuse protective order prohibiting Chandler Pappas from purchasing or possessing firearms or ammunition after he viciously assaulted a member of his extended family.
This isn't the first time Pappas has faced such restrictions. In 2015 he was subject to a restraining order after carrying out a misogynist campaign of stalking & death threats against a former intimate partner.
Chandler Pappas loves to terrify women.
We will be further unpacking aspects of conspiracy theory via thematic threads as CTs are an extremely potent weapon in the right’s arsenal. This thread will discuss the tactical development of CTs specifically to attack and demonize moderate Dems.
This thread is not meant as a debate on the merits of Dems. It is to trace how CT in right ideology has evolved & been crafted in hopes of improving our general ability to oppose this. CT in modern times was seeded specifically to tarnish a moderate president, Clinton.
This topic is significant as Biden has the stated goal of trying to walk Republicans off the fascist ledge to unite the country. But the very appeal of Biden to moderates--and this potential threat to Repub power--may increase the pitch & fury of CTs to oppose him.
On 10/30, neo-Nazi-collaborator & Patriot Prayer demagogue Joey Gibson called for a "show of force" from his racist followers against a vigil for Kevin Peterson Jr. who had been killed by police the night before.
