4 chuds, each with a camera
2 chuds standing on a street corner. One wears an American hoodie under a black tactical vest, blue jeans, grey sneakers with white laces, and a black wrist watch on his right arm. This chud chain smokes and is pictured holding the cigarette in his right hand with a plastic water bottle in his left hand. The chud next to him wears an army green tactical helmet, a tactical vest in the same color with 3 pouches on the front, an American flag buff-style mask, sunglasses with black rims and gray reflectice lenses, a grey shirt with an American flag on the sleeve, and baggy black cargo pants. He is identifiable by the electric scooter that he attached a speaker to with a ratchet strap. The strap is yellow and the speaker has red handles. This chud also smokes cigarettes.
4 chuds walking together in the park. The one leading the pack wears a blue maga hat, a blue shirt that pictures in white the USA with the flag contained in its borders on the front and a white American flag on the sleeve, blue jeans, and brown leather shoes. He's holding a phone camera mounted on a retractable tripod with an external microphone. He has both forearms tattooed, a wedding ring, and a smart watch with an orange nylon band. He was seen earlier in the day wearing a red flat-brimmed hat that says "Did you know" in black text and a black shirt that says "white, straight, republican, male... How else can I piss you off today?" This chud is a cigarette smoker. The second in line wears a black vest that looks like it used to have flannel sleeves over a burgundy t-shirt, blue jeans, black leather shoes with yellow laces, a blue trucker hat with white webbing, pit-viper style sunglasses with white frames and blue reflective lenses, and he's holding a phone camera on a retractable tripod. He has patchy brown facial hair, and shoulder-length brown hair that could be styled in a mullet. Next chud wears an American hoodie under a black tactical vest, blue jeans, grey sneakers with white laces, and a black wrist watch on his right arm. This chud chain smokes. 4th chud is Chris Sims, with a tattoo on his right forearm and holding a phone in his right hand. He has a tiny, black mustache. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a blue 5-point star in a blue circle on the back, dark blue jeans, and orange and white Nike high-top sneakers.

Reddit post titled "It's difficult to put words on how incredibly funny this lazy defacing of a poster for a book fair is" Sub title says "hosted by... an all ages nonprofit venue.

White text on red background: 3:30-5:00pm MAST: Mutual Aid Self/Social Therapy -in the Green Room MAST is a non-hierarchical therapy structure. It is a powerful tool for building relationships in our communities, and for navigating the traumas and frustration that are common among us. Having more substantial emotional understandings of each other, and having a space to publicly explore our frustrations and trauma, allows our communities to better withstand and plan against the powers that oppress us. This workshop will consist of a description and conversation about MAST and how it is practiced, and an open MAST session that will take 60 minutes of the time. MAST is practiced in groups of three, so the participants will separate into groups of three to practice MAST during this time, before the room reconvenes to have a second group conversation to debrief the whole process.
White text on red background: 2:00-3:00pm Deconstructing Settler Socialism Book Talk -in Conference Room Book talk on Historical Sedition's first original book "Deconstructing Settler Socialism: Anarchism and the Internationals in the Wild West." This book sheds light on the 19th century origins of anarchism, socialism, and the labor movement geographically rooted in the settler-colonial genocidal context of the so-called "wild-west." It highlights Pacific Northwest and broader West Coast history by critically examining cooperative land projects on freshly stolen land, racial exclusion in the early labor movement, and how these histories impacted the broader early splits between "red and black" marxian socialists and anarchists. Talk will be followed by Q&A and discussion.

White text on blue background: 3:30pm-5:00pm Prison support, security culture, and protecting our comrades inside -int the Green Room More and more of our comrades may be facing serious repression in the coming months or years. In the wake of Casey's sentencing and how their own words-words encouraged by supporters-were used against them, we will break down how to support those inside SAFELY, the how's but also the WHYS, and how to look out for dangerous supporters and how to handle them.
White text on blue background: 1:30pm-3:00pm Full Circle: A Life in Rebellion Book Presentation -in the Green Room Full Circle is the story of a life in rebellion, as told by Ben Morea. From his beginning growing up with jazz and heroin in a New York City ghetto and his turn to radical art and militant politics -- which culminated in the late-'60s push for "total revolution" vis-a-vis the notorious collectives Black Mask and Up Against the Wall Motherfucker -- to the lesser-known years following his disappearance into the wilderness and the path that led eventually to animism and his adoption into a Native American spiritual tradition, this epic narrative spans the whole of Morea's life from 1941 to the present, reflecting on his remarkable experiences of struggle and it's changing contours over eighty years. Based on a series of conversations that began in 2020, it represents a monumental effort of transmission, that seems to draw insight and inspiration from this life-long revolutionary journey and pass it on for the generations to come.
White text on blue background: 11:30am-1pm Like Ghosts: Sabotage, Subversive Publications and Repression in Bavaria In the Green Room An exhibition and presentation about the ongoing situation in Bavaria followed by a discussion about questions, provocations and challenges that this brings up for anarchist struggle in the US.

This is how the government analyses a community to wage psychological warefare. Figure 02: Application of Information-Related Capabilities to Achieve Influence from Joint Publication 3-13, Information Operations. The center shows how information flows in both directions from Key Influencers to Mass Audiences to Vulnerable Populations to Key Influencers. Each group has a table pointing to it with 2 columns: Activity (collect, process, disseminate, and act) and Dimension (physical, informational, physical, and cognitive). The arrows pointing to the groups of people are labeled "IRCs," information-related capabilities. The arrows pointing to the tables from outside are labeled "means." The information environment around this core cloud of impressionable groups includes 3 smaller clouds: Informational Dimension, Physical Dimension, and Cognitive Dimension.
Short article clipping from a pink, pop tabloid titled, "Cortney Loves The Scent of Xerox Paper!" "Courtney Love's acting kooky again! The singer was spotted on Aug. 22 at a Santa Monica Barnes & Noble opening new books, flipping through the pages and sniffing the paper. A fellow customer watched for a bit, then asked her what's up with all the sniffing. 'I always liked the smell of paper fresh off the copy machine and just wondered if this would smell the same,' she offered. 'It doesn't.'"

A poser ass poster showing red & blue books on the same table as a coffee cup with steam coming off it. The one vertical book says "SABF" down its spine. The bookmark sticking out of it says "2025." The horizontally stacked books say: "eattle ntiquarian ook air" to line up with the spine of the vertical book. The cup says "$10 at the door." It's smoke has writing in it that says "October 18&19 Sat. 10am-6pm Sun. 11am-4pm." The Collins sugar packet has been emptied and cut to say "Seattle Center Exhibition Hall 301 Mercer St." Which is coincidentally right next to the Vera Project!!! It also lists a website that is poorly designed and does not mesh well with the rest of the poster. The red and blue color scheme is giving cop and activates an individual's fight or flight response. Cointel Pro, more like Cointel Amateur...
Unclassified document that says so in black at the top and bottom of the page, as well as in a red watermark going diagonally across the page. Page reads: Simple Sabotage Field Manual Strategic Services (Provisional) -Managers and Supervisors: To lower morale and production, be pleasant to inefficient workers;give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work. -Employees: Work slowly. Think of ways to increase the number of movements needed to do your job: use a light hammer instead of a heavy one; try to make a small wrench do instead of a bigger one. -Insist on doing everything through channels. Never permit shortcuts to be taken to expedite decisions. -Make speeches. Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your points by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experience. -When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideration". Attempt to make committees as large as possible - never fewer than five. -Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible. -Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes and resolutions. -Refer back to a matter decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to reopen the question of its advisability. -Raise doubts about the propriety of any decision.
White text over a blurry, pink faced man with a beard, beady eyes, flat mouth, and a long wide nose. Top text: "Alright" Bottom text: "You're going in the zine" The word zine has obviously been pasted over a different word. There's a speaker icon in the lower right corner that implies this meme was stolen from Instagram

Painting of two muscular arms interlocked in handshake of sorts, allowing the bicep to flex in their embrace. The two arms are different skin tones and the original painting probably represented interracial solidarity. The left arm is labeled "Anarchists not being able to spell heirerchy" (hierarchy) The right arm is labeled "Marxists not being able to spell burgosisy" (bourgeoisie)
