Katie Shepherd always provided favorable coverage for antifa, which is why they allowed her to be among them unbothered. She described the beating of myself & others that day as “unremarkable.” She also documented antifa sucker punching this man in 2018 but didn’t report it out:
Here’s video of the unprovoked antifa attack from Aug. 2018. They followed 2 men, hurled a projectile, then sucker punched one & sprayed him with mace when he was on the ground. Shepherd was there & didn’t report out this incident. Alas, most Portland media cheerlead for antifa.
The antifa skateboarder who sucker punched that man has the same build and look as the one who punched me in May. Portland Police did nothing to help.

Remember the viral video of the elderly driver in Portland being attacked by an antifa mob? One year later, a person has been arrested.

Shaun Clancy, a non-binary antifa militant, was arrested on a felony warrant for that alleged attack. My latest: thepostmillennial.com/antifa-militan…
Shaun Clancy has a long history of involvement w/far-left extremist groups spanning several states. Clancy is also a member of the Red and Anarchist Skinheads, a violent hooligan skinhead organization known for training militants to fight. In 2012, the NYT profiled him. #antifa
Kent Houser, the 75-year-old victim of antifa violence in Portland, has strong words for Mayor @tedwheeler: "Why are you running for office again? You’ve been a total disgrace.” Wheeler, who is also the police commissioner, expressed support for police inaction at the time.

One of the most frequent questions I get is: "Who is in antifa?" Militant antifa groups have secret memberships, but arrest records from riots provide a data set to investigate who is part of movement. I will post public arrest photos here as an on-going project. #AntifaMugshots
At a glance, those arrested at antifa riots are overwhelmingly white & male. There also seems to be a disproportionate amount who identify as queer, non-binary and/or trans. All the information I post is available publicly, either from arrest records or the media. #AntifaMugshots
Naomi G. Seraphina, a 42-year-old transsexual fortune teller and Rose City Antifa militant, was arrested in Portland, Ore. at a riot in Sept. 2017. She was charged with interfering with a police officer and disorderly conduct in the second degree. #AntifaMugshots

I condemn any threats or criminal harassment.

However, I won’t stop reporting because of how people might respond in the comments section online. The public should know when someone on a school board harbors views in support of violent extremism.
When it came time for Fortson to condemn the violent beating of me by movement they supports, they did not. Instead they shared a post which sought to make light of my traumatic brain injury, which nearly killed me.
After @ryanjhaas sent out tweet highlighting Fortson’s claims that my reporting allegedly made them a target of threats, I received this message below. Yet, it would be stupid for me to blame Haas for it. Journalists aren’t responsible for how people react to news.

The far-right attacking the anti-fascists with a hammer, then switching the narratives claiming that the anti-fascists attacked them with a hammer. #Antifa means "anti-fascists." It is not an organization. If you are against fascists, YOU are antifa. #Portland
“Smear campaigns” against #antifa are used to create the image of internal enemy and “scapegoats.” Since Charlottesville, such campaigns against #Antifa became a compulsory exercise for #AltRight, #Kremlin #trolls and #Bots. #disinformation is an important tool in cyberwar.
In 2017, the online campaign used fake #antifa (an umbrella term for anti-fascist protestors) Twitter accounts to claim anti-fascists promoted violence against women supporting Trump or white supremacy. @bellingcat research showed the evidence of campaign orchestration on 4chan.

There are brand new fake antifa accounts spreading disinformation and threats of violence, and people are responding to them with *actual* threats of violence against antifa. Happy Fourth of July...?

my latest for @NatObserver:

One of the new fake antifa accounts (ANTIFA__NY) has already been suspended.

ANTIFA_DC is still active. It's linked to a fake Fox News account; they've been feeding off of each other, and both have the same URL in their profiles. 1/
Here's where it gets meta. The fake Fox News account is sharing screenshots meant to look like Fox News articles, but they're both fake, as is the AOC tweet.

Then, the fake antifa account started quote-tweeting the fake Fox News account sharing fake Fox News articles. 2/

The anatomy of a disinformation campaign -- i.e., how far-right extremists keep fooling the media into peddling their deceptive (and dangerous) narratives about #antifa.

My latest, for @NatObserver:
tinyurl.com/yxkz3vgy
Someone tweeted the other day while all of this was going on that the incident showed how useless local papers are. As I said then and will say again now, this actually proved how invaluable they are. Local reporters were the only ones who got the story right. 1/
This isn’t taking place in a vacuum. Far-right groups have descended on Portland regularly for years, usually bringing violence with them. Local antifascist have seen what unchecked far-right street rallies look like: They look like the two men murdered by Jeremy Christian. 2/

1. I just saw the footage that’s being spread around from a protest in Portland on Saturday that people are claiming shows antifa directing traffic and yelling a drivers who won’t comply.
2. I spent 5 minutes Googling and reading news articles to find out that the protesters seem to have been part of a protest following a fatal police shooting on 9/30/18 in which some claim the man was unarmed. Police say he was armed.

3. One of the videos going around doesn’t show that the elderly white driver who was chased down the street did so after driving through a crowd of protesters with one directly in front of his car.
