“Out of your homes into the streets!”

PPB just told a group of press we are not real press and “go back to Seattle we don’t want you here” #BlackLivesMatter #PortlandProtests #PortlandProtest #AbolishThePolice #PDXprotests #pdx #DefendPdx #ACAB #Portland #ACABSpring #TrumpThreatensAmerica #TrumpThreatensPortland

That was fucked! My videos aren’t posting but we just found a group of protesters that were hiding and we joined and cheered and it was a happy moment!

Well that was fucked part 2!! Still doing whatever they can 2 block press from recording. Pushed us and pushed another press member into a car and maced them just caught up with the group #BlackLivesMatter #PortlandProtest #AbolishThePolice #DefendPdx #ACAB #Portland #acabspring

Oh no. Chad is at our next location. Anyone see a fed dog at jc??

Beautiful. Art. Perfection. 10/10 execution. What should we name her??

Currently behind federal snatch plaza. A good amount of the crowd marched back here following a Black speaker who is here from Seattle

Speakers now leading part of the crowd to a secondary location. Group remains at the IJC/federal courthouse

Something doesn’t feel right. Idk what it is but I hope I’m wrong.

“TriMet” is hella peeping tonight.

They’re everywhere in their cars parked and watching

TriMet is following...

A message in Arabic from a Black protester part 1

Current speaker is looking for someone’s address and my friends are asking if I got swooped... still feeling out the vibe here and idk what to tell you. Will report back.

Marching again. “Out of your homes into the streets!” They chant

Welp. Crowd has significantly thinned out at injustice

Sorry for the hiatus, got a little interview with the speaker from Seattle. A little over 100 is my guess of how many people remain. Scattered but mainly in front of the federal courthouse

Fed snatch vans are out! Be careful

Fed White snatch van unmarked grey truck and large black suv blacked out windows went down fourth going north 🚨

California plates

I love getting death threats for being a journalist at a protest it’s super fun btw. I wonder how big and strong these men feel

Just got accused of being FBI lol

Fed vehicles keep driving by... with @cdsupriyadi @PDocumentarians @dave_blazer @FancyJenkins

@DonovanFarley rioting with the journos

What branch is this 👀

A car drove by and stopped to look at us very closely. That’s it that’s the news rn. Did you celebrate 4:20 3 minutes ago?? What’s everyone up to? Hopefully no one replies and you’re all sleeping and resting.

Someone said “if I was a fed and a horrible person my dream would be to push someone while they’re in one of those honey buckets”

Current topic of discussion- what’s in your apocalypse go bag?? 👀 👀

Currently- on the curb crying. There is a human who I have interacted with a few times. She has protected me & others from violent rioting officer numerous times & we spoke about her violent arrest. One of the most incredible humans I’ve met and it’s not my story to share but wow

Am I tired and emotional? Definitely. Doesn’t make the story less terrible.

Ok but @cdsupriyadi did just make me laugh and said “60 + days of cops rioting will do that to you”

Lol now he said “that’s the teargas talking”

Also the sky is starting to turn blue.

Out of downtown. Good morning 🙃
