A local militia group is planning the same kind of thing here at the Capitol building in Olympia, WA, too. They’re calling it a “Legislative Lockout,” and it’ll go from “Jan 10th 2021-Until Complete,” according to an email sent out by the WA 3%ers.
Tyler Miller, state committeeman for the Kitsap County Republicans and flat cap enthusiast, claims Republican legislators will support the action, but he didn’t name them in this video facebook.com/HazardousLiber…
He’s also associated with the “Liberty, At All Hazards” Facebook group. Last Friday, whoever runs that page appeared to issue one of those vague cheeky threats to “the setup” legislators plan to use for their remote session.
Of course, the joke’s on them, because “the setup” lawmakers plan to use didn’t seem to be running smoothly as of a month ago thestranger.com/slog/2020/11/2…
Miller seems to be a main organizer here, as in this video he says all the stuff the 3%ers say in their email facebook.com/HazardousLiber…
Incidentally, the WA 3%ers sell coffee from Minutemen Coffee, a small roaster out of Yakima. One of Minutemen’s coffees is called “Rebel Yell” and it’s—you guessed it—“WHITE Coffee” minutemencoffee.com

A little late to the “Count every vote, protect every person” rally in Pioneer Square. Nikkita Oliver and members of daily BLM protest groups givin a lot of speeches linking voting to protecting Black lives. By protecting every vote, by voting, you’re voting for these people.”
No small amount of frustration from the speakers regarding the relatively small numbers of protesters at recent nightly protests. “We could have used you all last night, when those officers brutalized us,” says Trae from Black Action Coalition. ST: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/e…
Speaker also refers to local TV news stations King 5, KIRO, and KOMO as “the new KKK” who are “not telling our stories at all.”
I clearly need to look up what happened at that city council meeting but until then I'm going to reflexively blame Mayor Elbert Koontz on the strength of his name alone
Group of about 100+ are marching down 5th Ave in the ID. Sign says, “SPOG is the prob.” Another days “Bezos is a looter.” We got a modest car brigade of 9-10 on the tail, protecting group from vehicular attacks.
This neighbor is into it
At least three police trucks stage on the on-ramp onto 4th as the person who plays the flute at these things kicks up a marchin tune
Lots of mutual aid alone the way cuz it’s a hot one.
Queen Latifah’s U.N.I.T.Y greets the We Want to Live March for Black Lives. BBQ thick in the air. Free Ezell’s, free water and snacks for all. And now we’re partying in a grocery store parking lot.
Here at the We Want to Live March for Black Lives at Othello Park. Lots of big church energy here as Pastor Harvey Drake calls for a “season of catalytic change” in the city and across the country. Thousands here, I’d guess. Haven’t seen much in the way of enforcement.
After speakers, plan is to march to Rainier Beach. FYI service is fucked for me at least, so forgive delays.
“Jenny, arrest the cops,” this speaker demands, before suggesting that Durkan resign.
