Scott Presler, a far-right agitator with ties to Islamophobic hate group ACT For America (splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…) who has coordinated with neo-Nazis in the past, will be in downtown PDX tomorrow to harass houseless people with Oregon Women For Trump.
Presler also coordinated at the time with Patriot Prayer's Joey Gibson for a PDX "March Against Sharia" which was ultimately canceled after Patriot Prayer follower Jeremy Christian murdered people on the MAX train while shouting Islamophobic hatred at 2 teen girls.
Hate group affiliate Scott Presler's recent re-brand as an "environmental activist" is a thin excuse to bring far-right agitators out to harass & threaten houseless community members under the guise of "clean-up" operations. The rhetoric is familiar.
It’s not difficult to see how OWFT and Scott Presler really feel about our city when they refer to it as “infested,” exposing their absolute disgust for houseless members of our community.
Presler's new brand plays on right wing mythologies of decaying cities & rampant crime, associating houselessness with drug use & disease. He hypes his far-right supporters for donations, while ignoring every factor that contributes to poverty & dispossession.
Please share the information in this thread with your friends and loved ones! Presler & his violent Trump loyalist allies' hatred & bigotry are not welcome in our city!

A new update to the Patriot Front Members Gallery (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…) is live, with new IDs from the last few months! Following the release of the PF leaks by Unicorn Riot, anti-fascists have now identified 86 members of Patriot Front by name.
Here's a master thread of Patriot Front members identified since @UR_Ninja leaks, so people can browse their photos and information more easily!
Here's one of our favorite leaked PF videos, as a treat to start us out, featuring Thomas Rousseau and Kieran "Zoolander" Morris.
Check out the Patriot Fail blog (patriotfail.blackblogs.org) and the Patriot Front Member's Gallery (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…) if you want to browse more. The blog is generally more up-to-date on recent IDs than the gallery; the gallery also includes photos of unidentified members.
A lot has already been said, but there's a few points we'd like to add regarding the thread of misinformation published by a think-tank analyst about Patriot Front in Coeur d'Alene last weekend...
Obviously, first of all, people reporting on fascist mobilizations (and especially police responses to them) should not be treating the police as a reliable source of information. Period. Citing them uncritically is ignorant and irresponsible.
Beyond that, though, this kind of hyped-up false narrative often gets encouraged on social media when people report on fascist activity just so they can be the one "breaking this news story," or so they look smart and informed in comparison to others...
for those of you checking out the current #patriotfail debacle in coeur d'alene, id, remember to take a peek at the Patriot Front Members Gallery (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…). we've already spotted kieran morris (tx) and "joshua UT" as well as thomas, obviously!
based on those spottings (and location obviously) you should expect to see possible members from: idaho (duh), utah, texas, washington, colorado, oregon, and potentially oklahoma, arizona, norcal and further midwest as well.
this is also probably a good time to remind folks that, as full names for these arrested guys potentially become available, we strongly encourage everyone to take the time they need to put together as certain and comprehensive a profile of that fascist as they can!
Patriot Front Member Gallery Update (rosecityantifa.org/articles/patri…)! Since @UR_Ninja's release of leaked PF data in January, anti-fascists have been able to identify 46 more Patriot Front members!
Here, enjoy "Tex," Thomas's dog, biting "Austin TX" on the butt during drill practice!
Today's Patriot Front Gallery updates include: Alexi Guthrie, aka "Brandon CA"; Stephen James Trimboli, aka "Lawrence FL," aka "Mom Fish Boy," the Network Director of NW 16 (Florida); and Garret J. Garland, aka "Randolph IL"...
The Proud Boys hate group member documented harassing Washougal School Board meetings in this thread is Vancouver, WA resident Christopher Lincoln Stevens aka "VonCheddar" or "Christopher Cheeze."
Christopher Stevens was also filmed at the violent far-right rally in Portland on 8/22/21 tipping over the van whose driver had been assaulted and robbed by the Proud Boys
NY Proud Boy and self-elected videographer Randy Ireland also documented Christopher Stevens' presence and participation in that rally, just moments before Ireland accidentally donated his footage to the public good (approx 9:00 in Video 10). rosecityantifa.org/articles/a22-b…
