We swung by Riverfront Park where there’s a bake sale to raise funds to help people affected by the wildfires. The event was organized by “patriots against racism,” mainly Epilogue Kitchen which has been involved in #BLM organizing. #Oregonfires #santiamfires #oregon #wildfire
The bake sale sold out after 1.5 hours. They are still handing out free masks & anti-racism info, plus registering people to vote. 100% of the proceeds will go to help with wildfire relief. #oregon #salemoregon #santiamfire #oregonfires #wildfire #oregonwildfires #wildfirerelief Image
Approximately 15 people participated in a “[bike] ride for change.” They flew BLM flags and biked around the park. The event was organized in conjunction with the bake sale, by Rian Gayle, a Black, Deaf community leader. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #BLMprotests #salemor

Hats off for #blacklivesMatter protesters demanding equality for all in Europe.They created a political force that lead to an #EUActionPlan to address structural racism.

We at ENAR are eager to support in strengthening it and be key stakeholders in the implementation. #SOTEU2020 Image
ENAR welcomes the fact that for the first time, the #EU explicitly acknowledges the existence of structural, institutional & historical dimensions of #racism in #Europe and the need to address them through wide-ranging, proactive policies.

“This is a groundbreaking moment for racial equality & #justice, & has significant potential to achieve positive change for racialised people in #Europe”, said @KMTaylorBerlin.

There are lots of weapons on the Trump side, including guns, bats, batons, knives and bear spray. The BLM side has a couple baseball bats. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image
We have been told that earlier this afternoon bear spray was used by people from the Trump rally after someone grabbed one of their flags. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #BLMprotest #clypiancoverage Image

We’re at the Oregon State Capitol where 100+ people are gathered for the Reopen Oregon Rally. About 50 Black Lives Matter demonstrators are also sitting on/by the steps. Follow along for live updates! #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR
One speaker from the Reopen Oregon Rally is talking about the need to fight child sex trafficking & change laws so that perpetrators serve more serious sentences for child sexual abuse both online & in person. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR Image
Another speaker is claiming that the COVID-19 statistics are false. He’s calling for people across the state to stop wearing their masks and for businesses to stop enforcing the mask mandate. #Salem #SalemProtest #salemoregon #oregon #salemprotests #SalemOR #oregonprotests Image

30 min from now #NFAC will march in Louiville for #BreonnaTaylor. We broke this news last Sunday. KY media caught up mid-week. Media also reported #threepercenters will go, but it was based on a social media post w/ only a few “likes”. @courierjournal @TobinBen @phillipmbailey
Remember last month when media reported of a “patriot militia” was presumably coming to Louisville. Well, that never happened. google.com/amp/s/amp.cour…
So if some #threepercenters do show up, know that the @courierjournal & others who reported based on weak evidence provided credibility via advertising it. If there is an unfortunate conflict, it could reasonably be stated negligent reporting stirred the pot unnecessarily.

Several unmarked vehicles with federal officers inside enter the Federal Courthouse. At least two of the cars had Texas license plates. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #BLMprotest #PDXprotests #PDX #clypiancoverage
For context, unidentified federal officers have been sued by the Oregon AG for using unmarked vehicles (some w out-of-state plates) to apprehend people from the streets of Portland. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #portlandkidnappings
A federal officer, in one of the unmarked cars, yelled at this man as he stood off to the side filming to “f***ing move.” After that this officer came out of the building to move him back. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #pdx

Some of the riot control muntions that were used on protestors tonight, including some type of chemical smoke and CS gas (tear gas). #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #BLMprotest #PDXprotests #PDX #munitions #Teargas #clypiancoverage Image
Here’s another canister of CS gas from tonight. Protestors were unsure as to what caused the canister to split as it did. Image
This canister was also used today in #portland. It is a Multi-Port Distraction Device which reads BORTAC on the side. BORTAC is the U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit—essentially CBP’s SWAT team. BORTAC is usually deployed for missions like apprehending int’l drug traffickers.

The moms have formed a line on the street in front of the Federal Courthouse. The chant of “I don’t see no riot here, take off your riot gear” continues, led by them. #PortlandMoms. #portland #PortlandProtest #portlandprotests #PortlandOregon #PortlandOR #oregon #BLMprotest #PDX
The crowd is now chanting several different things at once— “ACAB, all cops are bastards,” “go home pigs,” “I will not live in a fascist state.” Several people are playing the drums.
Someone brought little pigs that squeak. Several people are squeaking them in tune to the chant “ACAB, All cops are bastards.”

Hallo!
Wie konnte es China schaffen, die öffentliche Meinung zum #Coronavirus und den #Lockdown Maßnahmen so stark zu beeinflussen?
Diesmal ein sehr langer (sorry🤷‍♂️) Thread, in dem ich ein paar Beispiele aufzeigen möchte. Einen angenehmen Tag noch 😌 ->
1/25
Es kursierten zahlreiche Amateuraufnahmen aus Wuhan im Internet, die zeigten, dass China gezielt Falschinformationen produziert und verbreitet. Viele dieser Videos sind verschollen. Dieses Video ist seltsamerweise noch da "Es ist alles Fake" ->
2/25
Ein weiteres, in einem Krankenhaus in Wuhan aufgenommenes Video stellte sich später als nicht ganz so Heimlich heraus. In Wirklichkeit war dies Teil der chinesischen Propaganda. Das Video und der Inhalt waren vllt echt, der Whistleblower aber nicht ->

lets look back at the first half of 2020.

When I conceptualized vibhurishi.pythonanywhere.com I wanted an way to look back at the year gone by and check what all happened. This is a tweet thread referencing my website.
PART 1 : WHO

vibhurishi.pythonanywhere.com/all/who/

In Jan, WHO warned that the new coronavirus in China could spread, but by early Feb, they seemed to think that outbreak could go away.
In just a few days, WHO sent out warnings that the world must prepare for the pandemic. Barely a month later, WHO declared the novel coronavirus as a global pandemic, with Europe as the new Epicenter.

1/ The dishonesty linking Victoria's rise in #covid19aus cases and #BLMprotest needs to stop NOW. It's being perpetrated by media/politicians and parroted by the public. The lies divide us at a time we need unity. Here are 2 big lies (LONG thread, why would you read this):
2/ Lie 1 - Protests caused transmission, facilitating current rise.
Fact - Only 4 cases are associated with protests. None yet causally linked by state/fed authorities. I don't think they're lying. Both LITERALLY TOLD PEOPLE TO NOT ATTEND PROTESTS & have no reason to cover up.
3/ This would be the PERFECT opportunity for them to say "i told you so". It would make their job easier. But they're sticking to the evidence.
Another argument supporting this lie - 'Maybe the protests DID cause spread that's not captured through testing' OK let's play:

Um bei der #BLM und Sklaverei-Debatte mal die andere Seite aufzuzeigen.
Dieses historische Foto zeigt Anfang des 20. Jhds eine wohlhabende afrikanische Familie mit eigenen afrikanischen Sklaven.
Sobald Schwarze damals reich wurden, holten sie sich andere Schwarze als Sklaven.
1/3 Image
In anderen Worten.
Die Sklaverei hat nichts mit "alten weißen Männern" zu tun.
Absolut jede Gesellschaft pflegte die Sklaverei zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten der Geschichte, unabhängig ob "weiß", "schwarz", Nafri, etc.
Versklavt wurden ebenfalls Menschen aller Hautfarben.

Apropos.
Der Sohn vom legendären Boxer Muhammad Ali erklärte, dass sein Vater diese ganzen BLM-Proteste gehasst hätte.
Der #BLMprotest sei "rassistisch" und führe zu Raub, Plünderung und Zerstörung.
Für Muhammad Ali hieß es immer #AllLivesMatter

Watch this space

Notable that @SecArmy senses need to speak out now about sworn oath to Constitution and respecting right of assembly.

This is why I asked the top military justice expert to write about matters including duty to disobey illegal orders from a POTUS....
2/3 Gene Fidell (@globalmjreform):

"If the president were to issue a clearly unlawful order, military personnel would be obliged to refuse. And if they failed to refuse an unlawful order, they could be prosecuted for any conduct that violated the UCMJ."

+ retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore:

"I thought I was watching a scene from something in Turkey, and not in the United States," Honore, who commanded National Guard troops in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, told CNN's @andersoncooper.

(h/t @stevesgirl56)
Several folks usefully suggest adding McCraven (@FubarInFL @JeffGovCon @Dudes5050 @chanra68).

McCraven wrote a powerful statement last year in his Op-ed and CNN interview with @jaketapper.

But he has not spoken out now on Trump response to #GeorgeFloydProtests #BLMprotest.
