I’m currently in Coeur d’Alene where an annual family event called Pride in the Park is projected to come under attack from fascist militias and right-wing / christo-fascist extremists.

This is a significant day because of the predicted fascist incursion and the two year hiatus due to covid, but especially so as the mere existence of queer people comes under increasing attack from the violent & extremist GOP.

some of the people expected to show up and impose their violent beliefs are various groups of Neo-Nazis, Three Percenters, J6 Insurrectionists, members of Ammon's Army (Peoples' Rights Group) & PDX Liberation, and Proud Boys, all of which have signaled that they plan to be in

attendance. On the walk over there were lots of Gadsden, thin blue line, punisher flags, etc.

There are a LOT of people at the Pride in the Park event. It’s very colorful and the energy is high. Though the fascists events are primarily farther away from this location, there is

quite the variety of chuds surrounding the perimeter of the event. A handful of dudes in camo with large rifles, but it’s mostly christo-fascists on the outskirts currently.

Unfortunately this singing has been pretty continuous. Police are also scattered around the park and walking in the park where the Pride event is.

if anyone is able to help with alt text it would be immensely helpful and appreciate. difficult to do so while otg

Earlier a handful of Atomwaffen dudes got kicked out of the park by antifascists. A group of literal nazis, the 1488 type, also just got a bit confrontational but were verbally pushed out. People were yelling at the folks for attempting to kick the nazis out but they ignored it

fascists were just harassing a trans woman, the cops arrested her and left the fascists alone.

street preacher was just arrested on a different side of the park. unsure why, i’m hearing trespassing?

lots of kiddies dancing in the bubbles as the spontaneous sun emerges as a welcome surprise. A musician is currently performing on the main stage

Atomwaffen Division is back

currently

a surreal scene as fascists are being confronted (verbally) while libs do the cha cha slide behind us

“these are nazis ➡️”

This dude told me his name is Steven, he’s here with III%’rs

these guys were with the street preacher. said they were here as individuals not with a group. when the Atomwaffen packed up to leave they showed up and joined them. they definitely knew each other too. same group.

These guys are literal nazis. They’re currently engaged in a heated conversation with a group and saying fucking awful things that i will not repeat about trans people and Black folks.

They’re not even trying to hide their support for genocide and fascism. The guy on the left in the checkered shirt was just being super racist and said that fascism is good and that it’s fine queer and trans people are here because they’ll all be dead soon.

omg omg look. timeline cleanse/mental health break 🤗

i am LIVING for her! and by the sounds of it the crowd is too. people are going off and dancing their asses off. no amount of nazis can’t ruin this type of love and joy.

again… LIVING. They are both just so incredibly gorgeous 🥺😻

The march of christo-fascists came towards the park. They appeared to try to come in but it seems like the cops told them not too. Unsure if they’ll try again. It also seems like the cops are taking order from feds today. Can’t confirm but that’s what it appears from observation

Patriot front arrested. they have a uhaul filled with shields and idk what else

lol

They’re all being arrested one by one. cops won’t say what they’re being arrested for

one by one still… there is now a wall of riot cops between them and us

and then there were none. i need to cool down then i’ll post some more footage. got images of almost all their faces.

cops said that they got arrested because of the feds in their group chats. all charged with conspiracy to riot. a helicopter followed before they got pulled over

getting detained. idk why.

I’m free now. I need a break for my physical and mental health. Will update more when I feel up for it. Major headache. Basically it was complete bullshit reasons, an illegal search & seizure, just looking for a reason to arrest leftists, and mainly to try and get information.

Ok, more about the nazis arrests tomorrow because i’m mentally drained, but this awful firetruck was there. also this patriot front sticker that was already partially removed. Was a premonition for the rest of the day

Thank you all for your kind words and your support. I appreciate it so much. And thank you to those who helped me with alt text, you’re the fucking best! Logging off now, and definitely not checking dm’s. 🖤✨

I should have been more careful when I was otg yesterday, extremely irresponsible of me. I’m actually unsure if this is actually Atomwaffen, I was told it could also be white lives matter. We were calling them the atomwaffen masks otg and that stuck with me. Sorry!
