@RNGDave and I are at today's Juneteenth Celebration hosted by the Black Led Action Coalition at #AltonBakerPark in #EugeneOregon.

Listening to a woman born in 1946 who says that her parents were listed as White on her birth certificate as Sacred Heart didn't want others to know that they had allowed a POC to give birth there.

She says Sacred Heart has never refuted her claims.
It's a dance party

As I was walking back to my car for a break, I overheard one of the women directing traffic that only BIPOC could park in the nearest two parking lots to the event. If you are not a BIPOC, you are directed to the farther parking lots.
Back at the event. They let me in with a little hassle about my press pass.

The ACLU of Oregon has released an alarming Call to Action regarding proposed accountability standards for cops within the state and how the process is being co-opted by law enforcement themselves.

"Oregon is trying to create accountability standards for cops; however, this process is being co-opted by police and their accomplices to shield bad cops."
It's bad, folks. It's really bad.

Well I'm here at the corner of Garfield and 9th Place where houseless residents living in trailers were threatened early last night and told they would towed this morning.

Stop The Sweeps is here to aid.
I was here earlier this morning, too, when folks actually thought something was going to happen. Nothing did.

But now, at 9:45 a.m., EPD is present talking with one of the people here. Folks have been told they have until Monday before they'll be ticketed and forced to leave.
Wow. I've moved just a few blocks over to 8th and Grant where other RVs are being towed away.

Well, I'm back out and near the Dove Medical Center in Eugene where a "Night of Rage" is supposed to take place at 10 p.m.

Earlier today, people were seen gathered in the parking lot, on the roof, and they boarded up all the windows. ID: Flyer. Background image is people in bloc. Text is pride
Security is currently posted out front and there's a man upstairs in the OCCU building take photos.
The crowd of around 30 people, many in black bloc, has crossed the street and is now standing in front of the security guards on the sidewalk.

Small group of pro-reproductive rights protesters in front of the Federal Courthouse right now.
Well, I am back at the Federal Courthouse where several dozen people have gathered since I was last here.

There's a tent on the stairs leading up to the building and speeches from what I can see across the street.
We have a trio of bike cops.

Heyo,

It's been a while.

I'm walking up to Tykeson Hall at UO for this teach-in about the CIA since they are, apparently, recruiting on campus this week. There is too much text for Twitter, so, a recap: A black a
Notably, I just learned today that the university's Center for Cyber Security and Privacy is sponsored by both the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security 😬
Signs that say "CIA Go Way" and "Fuck the CIA" rest against concrete ledges behind Tykeson Hall. Signs that say "CIA Go Way" and "Fuck the CIA
