The full story
On November 7, 2026, far-right activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen disrupted the Diwali: Lights of India cultural festival at the Seattle Center Armory. Carrying American flags and placards bearing ethnic slurs and slogans about Christian replacement, the activists confronted festivalgoers in front of attendees, including children. People present at the venue intervened, physically confronting the activists and removing them from the premises. The demonstration drew sharp condemnation from elected officials and advocacy groups, including U.S. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and the Coalition of Hindus of North America, who denounced the display as racist and hateful.
