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 look down at my phone for 3 seconds to compose a tweet and 500 more people show up. Yes I’m being dramatic but it could very well be 500

The current speaker is a literal child and is SO WELL SPOKEN AND MOVING wowowow 🥰😻

Speaker is telling the crowd on the megaphone how trump deployed more troopers and feds to Portland and the crowd was not having it. “BOO!” @realDonaldTrump
