Wow already executive summary pages 1-3 of chud tears some from military etc saying they were traitors to this country and are apologizing. The statements before the executive summary talk about what our country stands for..... #chudwatch

Wow yall! We are less than 4 hours to the big reveal! What will it look like? How much truth will they tell the people? Are we going to see trump taken in cuffs? I am feeling serious #antifa #bde right now! #portland #pdx #defendPDX #blacklivesmatter #jan6th #whitesupremacists
I am glad the #FAFO proudboys are up first with their violent seditious attacks on our democracy which is also a reflection of how they worked with the fbi and police vs #blacklivesmatter!

Letha Winston is a con artist and mountebank. Her son shot two people in Portland and had the gun in his hand when police shot him. She profits from moralizing his immoral behavior to the gullible. This is a dangerous group who will be openly carrying guns tonight.
They will be active tonight under the cover of darkness which is atypical for their marches. Make sure you secure your vehicles in the area, turn on your security cameras, keep your outdoor lights on and be alert for noise.
Gun safety is still important. Keep your guns locked

Almost exactly a year ago, on August 31, 2020, Portland cop Thomas Clark chased down a protester, tackled him, pinned him to the ground, and punched him repeatedly in the face.
Yesterday, āprogressiveā DA Mike Schmidt said this brutality āwas justifiedā

The same leniency is not being applied to Portlanders exercising their 1A rightsā¦
E.g.: Beta faces decades in prison for defending an old man from a hammer-wielding Nazi

.@cozca503 is facing protest-related charges and, like Beta, cannot persuade the Portland DAās office to act in line with the principles new head DA Mike Schmidt ran on to earn election in 2020

In Portland:
Cops beat #BlackLivesMatter protesters
Protect Proud Boys
And wait hours or *days* to respond to 911 calls
And people still claim cops āserve and protectā?

Things I consider coordinating the nightly BLM DA's: head still spinning a bit from yesterday (yay PTSD & whiplash!), but a thread about what I do throughout an action. I have networks that allow me to do lot at once, but ANYTHING that you can take initiative on helps. #DefendPDX
About 15 minutes before the stated march time, I check the crowd. Do I think we'll have at least 100-150 people by then? If I'm doubtful, I ask the crowd how they feel about waiting another 15 minutes. This makes waiting INTENTIONAL and less anxious.
Also 15 minutes out, I check in with the motorcade and any bikes present to come forward. Some nights it's strong and already has a route, other times it's sparce and you need to throw something together. In general: avoid overpasses, and neighborhood streets are smarter.
#AbolishICE round 2 tonight
No ppb here but itās being boarded up still
Some new flood lights have been added

Very decent sized crowd. At least 250-300 here. Itās hot! Ppb shining extremely bright lights for added warmth
Iām at peninsula park! Clover says they apologize in advance for the long walk š

Here is an action being coordinated today. Don't know them personally but have heard they're good, angry people. I feel pretty good about throwing weight behind supporting this. And you know. Just because it formally wraps up at 1:30 doesn't mean you have to leave. #defendpdx
Info:
Noize N the Hood (Causing Good Trouble for Change)
Meet 5 PM at Jamison Square
Move (guess where) 6-7
Gather 7-1 AM

I've got some more specific information and just want to measure expectations: the leaders of this action embrace diversity of tactics but you will notice this is not explicitly a DA call. Let's just say this isnt a "march and plant down" vibe.
Just arrived at MCSO. Someone is injured and appears to be unconscious on the ground. Getting help from street medics, ppb medic and officer just came out to help. (A first afaik)
Street medics still seem to be taking lead on providing medical care to the injured
People still ask us what time the cops beat us? Iām not psychic bruh. But apparently the ppb are.
Alright, so when I got out of jail I was fortunate to have most of my crew fucking waiting for me to surround me with love and fulfil all my needs. It was also one of the bigger jail support nights. Join me for my pitch for expanding our jail support into, well... a daily event.
Alright not "event." But waiting for comrades to get out of jail is hard. Being in jail is hard. Heckling cops while they drive home after their shift change is fun. We have literally hundreds of people who want to support frontliners, this is where we can funnel that engagement.
To clarify I know full well how much work a small group of people have done to get jail support doing - I am not trying to subvert their work at all. This is a call to the community to say, hey! This should be our responsibility as well. Get involved!

It's been a while since I did an info thread... let's fix that. If we know where our efforts are being felt, we can more intentionally focus or broaden pressure on decision-makers.

Shame: This is where the majority of actions began two months ago, and is by far the most popular in the US. It's the most simple: You display the hypocrisy, cruelty, etc of a target in order to socially pressure them into agreeing with your demands. (2/)
Shame is effective against opponents who genuinely do want to be (or appear to be) good people, or whose power is dependent on social capital. Unfortunately, it can only get you so far the bigger you go, since some people cannot be shamed and have other capital. (3/)
