Interview with the IWW street medic dude who was shot. Its sad.

I was coming here to post the same interview at the nascent Greater Seattle GDC site. To be honest, I'm real happy he's still able to joke about his 'semicolon' and such. I've known the dude for probably half a decade and he's one of the most genuinely good people I've ever met.

Seattle folks, there's an action planned on the 31st to respond to the shooting on J20 and the proliferation of neo-nazi bullshit on campus and nearby.

Greater Seattle GDC Local 24 posted:

The Greater Seattle General Defense Committee calls upon the UW campus and community beyond to join us at Red Square on Friday, March 31st at 12PM in declaring that we will not be intimidated by the violence of the far-right! This includes the near-fatal shooting of one of our members at University of Washington on January 20th as well as the others who are currently facing attacks and harassment.

Through their inaction before and after the shooting on January 20th, the police and campus administration at UW have proven themselves unwilling and incapable of actually creating a safe and secure environment on campus. We hope to use this as an opportunity to show that despite this violence, we will continue to organize in our communities and build power to develop a united front against the rise of fascism. This includes organizing to develop alternatives to law enforcement, the criminal legal system, and the administrations which place a far higher value on profit than they do safety. These institutions can not and will not protect us; we must organize to protect ourselves and each other!

This action will begin at 12PM and will involve a brief walk between several locations around campus. Please share this event throughout your networks!

Meanwhile, a guy decided to wear his Nazi armband to Westlake for a day of yelling right-wing slogans at pedestrians. It went over about as well as you'd think it would for a literal swastika-armband-wearing shithead shouting poo poo at people on 3rd & Pine.
