Heading out in a few minutes to meet my @DailyEmerald colleagues for another night of #SpringfieldOregon protest reporting.
I'm here.
Not too many folks here on the protest side but the counter-protest across the intersection is sizeable.

Hiiiiiii everyone,
I'll be live-tweeting in a little bit for the @DailyEmerald from Downtown #EugeneOregon where @Eblack_unity is hosting a march and "know your rights sit-in" starting at 7 p.m.

A Federal Protection Service (Homeland Security) SUV just pulled up and parked in the parking lot across the street for a minute and then left.
The Nightmare Elk! Back in downtown Portland Wednesday Aug 12th for the first time in a while. A gathering is planned for 9 PM. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter
Some new additions to the city. A mobile command center on top of city hall and what looks like a satellite tower across the street. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter
Other new surveillance equipment on 4th Ave. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #blacklivesmatter
1/ There are many facets to the social & political awakening occurring now, not the least of which is the #wallofmoms phenomenon in Portland. A wall of moms should defend our kids against all kinds of injustice, and when we do this country will never be the same.
2/ Our economic system was designed before women had a voice in the public realm. But we have a voice now. Sometimes the issue of power is not how much we have so much as how much we’re in the habit of using, how much we’re ready to permit ourselves to express.
3/ Imagine what the country will be like when we advocate for the long term well-being of our children as forcefully as health ins, Big Pharma, NRA, Big Ag, Oil & Gas, defense contractors, banks etc advocate for their short term profits. Nothing could change things more quickly.
Arrived at injustice! DHS car and fed snatch car with no plates on broadway and Madison
Thursday 7/30 in front of the Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland. Supposedly the first day Oregon State Police will be replacing some of the Feds.#blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #WallofVets
Wall of Vets in white tee shirts standing at 3rd Ave and Main Street. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #WallofVets
The park that previously had the protest kitchen was cleared out by Portland Police earlier today. Feels a lot emptier. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #WallofVets
At least 500 here to protest on Wednesday July 29th in Portland Oregon. Most in front of the Justice Center, but a few hundred in front of courthouse. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #wallofmoms #WallOfDads #PortlandMoms

I'll be live-tweeting tonight for the @DailyEmerald from #Thurston where Black Unity is hosting a "The Noose is a Nuisance" protest and march starting at 7 p.m.
My colleague @Lundhale will be there with me.

A man driving a truck just drove by and chanted "fuck BLM" towards the few 0eople here now.
A counter-protest is forming.
Downtown once again. Maybe 700+ people in chapman and lownsdale tonight. And someone, two months into this, had the bright idea to rent honey buckets! So people don’t have to risk federal charges to pee in Terry Schrunck!
Have I mentioned that I will never, at any point, learn the correct spelling of Terrrie Shrunk? Cuz I won’t.
We arrived just in time for the #wallofmomsportland moving, in formation, to the front of the federal courthouse.
Back in downtown Portland reporting in front of the Courthouse/Justice Center. It’s Tuesday, July 28th. #blacklivesmatter #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads

I think a non native person may have said “whose land is this?!” To a group of indigenous folks but idk...
Crowd is mainly gathered in front of the jc listening to a speaker while a handful remain in the park in front of the federal courthouse
Downtown for another night of #BLM protests in beautiful Portland Oregon. Since @riotribs is not on the menu tonight (you can check their feed for why) it’s gyro o’clock. The cops haven’t gassed these food carts since the 4th of July!#PortlandStrong
The caulk abides. This stuff is spray foam, used to disperse pepper ball rounds.
The crowd is significantly smaller then Saturday, but I am told that fed RAD has already been talking to people
Pretty decent sized crowd for a Sunday. Lots of people again.

Crowd is gathered in the center of the injustice center and federal courthouse listening to a Black speaker who has been speaking words of encouragement about the movement. Many cheers from the crowd
“I can’t sleep cuz of y’all, y’all never gonna sleep cuz of me!”

I'll be live-tweeting tonight for the @DailyEmerald at the Federal Courthouse for another night of #EugeneProtests starting at 9 p.m.
@CFrancisOLeary will be joining me shortly
There's a group of about 20 already here — #WallofMoms included.
Back for another huge protest night in downtown #Portland, where many hundreds are apparently marching to a nearby hotel, where it is believed the federal reinforcements have been staying. #PortlandProtests #pdx
So, apparently Oregon has a protest llama named Ceasar, “the no-drama llama,” who has been to 10 #BlackLivesMatter protests before tonight. Folks in the crowd are saying “stay by the llama and we won’t get gassed!” I hope they’re right! #PortlandProtests #KeepPortlandWeird
The crowd gathered at the downtown #Portland Marriott stretches around the corner and up several blocks, wall-to-wall. As the hotel where the DHS agents are believed to be staying came into view, the crowd began to chant, “Kick them out, Marriott!” #PortlandProtest
There are so many people in Alberta Park for the 2 month anniversary of the murder of George Floyd 7/25 #portandprotests #BLM
And we are marching!
I’m at Alberta Park on July 25th covering a protest planned for NE Portland. #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
Over a thousand people are now marching. #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
Marching on Killingsworth. #blacklivesmatter #PortlandProtesters #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
I'll be live-tweeting for the @DailyEmerald from the Federal Courthouse here in #EugeneOregon where a protest is planned for 8 p.m.
Not too many people here as of right now.
Just had our first "Trump 2020."
Audience for it: about seven

The #WallOfVets holding the frontline, using their bodies if need be, allowing protesters to practice their 1st Amendment right. Vets said during interviews “they took an oath to protect the Constitution.” So protect they shall do. #PortlandProtests
The #WallOfVets formed days after Navy vet Christopher David’s, aka Captain Portland, encounter w fed paramilitary agents. He was beaten with batons & maced in the face. Vets groups are now forming across the country through @VetsWall. #PortlandProtests
The number of people attending the #PortlandProtests really looks like the largest group thus far. A sea of Americans standing together & lending their voices as allies for both their neighbors & strangers. #BlackLivesMatter #WallOfMoms #WallOfVets #WallOfDads
Every night, the #WallofMoms gathers by the river before marching over to the Justice Center. Every night, this group has grown. This video doesn’t begin to do justice to how many ppl are here. Yellow shirted moms. Nurses in scrubs. Dads in orange. And so, so many more. #portland
Getting ready to march. There are drums, cowbells, a whole percussion section to keep the beat. And we have a new bloc in the mix tonight: Teachers. They’re wearing green. #PortlandProtests #PDX
Essence and Kia are Afro-indigenous sisters who have come out to the protests every other night with sage to cleanse the air and ground people who are angry, scared or both. They said the energy shifted once the feds arrived. It brought #Portland together against a common threat.
Here again at the justice center with a few thousand Portlanders who are protesting for Black lives and against police brutality and the federal occupation of the city. #PortlandStrong #PortlandProtests
@IwriteOK @MrOlmos @TheRealCoryElia @defendpdx and @hungrybowtie are here and @suzettesmith maybe later
The doors of the courthouse are open

Are you taking notes? It's time for all of us to prepare and to "move on them like a bitch".
Don't wait for a leader... no one is coming. Pick up a sign, grab a friend... show up at your city's capitol or even stand at the end of your driveway.

Great info below from Sarah @SarahAnnabell15 safeprotest.tips
"Polls show that the majority of Americans disapprove of #Trump’s decision to confront rather than co-opt the #protests. Despite this, the order to move #federal agents into #Portland appears to be an intensification of the conflict..."
