At the Justice Center, Sunday 6/21. About 50 people in the area. Police officers came out and tried to convince the people to exit the streets and stay in the park. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
One change for today is that the front of the Justice Center is completely boarded up. There are at least two small doors for police to get in and out of. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter  #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police on the LRAD commanding protesters exit the street or be subject to arrest and use the force. There are approximately 30 people on the street. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter    #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police also showed up in front of the Justice Center and start arresting people. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter     #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police trying to keep people in the park because they were blocking the street. The police are now currently blocking the street. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter     #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police continue to block traffic and the crowd chants “Quit your job!” #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter     #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police head out for now, but warn if you return to street you’re subject to arrest. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter     #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
People almost immediately went back into the street. There is some dispute among the protesters if they should stay in the street or go to the park. Police on the LRAD are commanding people to go to the park.
The crowd has mostly left the streets and is either on the sidewalk or in the park. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter     #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Lots of riot police stationed behind the Justice Center. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter     #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
A motorcycle drive-by from a few minutes ago. The vibe here is just...odd? Some people really trying to keep everyone in the park. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter      #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
The people at the park marched down in front of the Portland Police Bureau entrance. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter      #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Police on the LRAD saying to not “tamper with doors to the Justice Center” also telling the protesters to not block traffic. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter  #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
Riot police have showed up, even though most people were out of the street. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter      #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
A group of police trying to get people to go west back to the park. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
The police are claiming they needed to clear the streets because someone inside the building needed emergency medical attention. An ambulance showed up but drove away without anyone getting in or out.
Police now saying the sidewalk on the west side of 2nd Ave is closed, commanding people to leave and threatening them with arrest and use of force if they don’t. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter      #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
There is some internal conflict with the protesters about How much they should listen to the police’s orders. #Portlandprotest #blacklivesmatter  #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #justicecenter #sacredfence #portland
The police continue to order the crowd to stay in the park. Most of the group has moved to the park, others have just left. The crowd is definitely shrinking in part due to conflicts between protesters.
Tonight felt weird compared to previous nights. The crowd was smaller, and there were way more disagreements about protest tactics.
1/2
No real clear stated goals & there was real odd energy & contradictory messaging from some people trying to lead the protest tonight. The leaders were much more complacent to the Police’s demands compared to the last few weeks. 2/2
Looks like the Police are up to something, tune into @TheRealCoryElia

My dissection of Lady Ballers is finally out!

In this thread I’ll share some not so fun facts about the movie and screen caps from my pirated copy.
A picture of a basketball in a blonde wig with pink bow and text above in a cursive font that reads ladyballers with the two Ls being a cherry stem
The movie is directed, written, produced, and starring the Daily Wire's CEO Jeremy Boreing as a former high school basketball coach, pictured below with a horrible Tony Stark goatee. picture of jeremy in a locker room with slicked back dark hair and a trimmed goatee.
Matt Walsh plays a woke hippie liberal who has cucked Jeremy Boreing.

Walsh isn't a great actor, black hole of charisma. He can only do deadpan delivery so watching him play a sincere hippie leftist is just uncanny... Jeremy plays the most divorced man, which he pulls off ok.

yard signs that read 'in this house we believe crickets are delicious, silence is violence, speech is also violence, no one is illegal but Europeans coming to America was bad, guns dont kill people white people kill people... also guns kill people, trans rights are human rights, feelings dont care about your facts, pride month is every month, social credit scores matter, in exclusive inclusion, the earth is literally going to burst into flames any day'

Around 300 people are marching from the King Center to the Atlanta Police Foundation in opposition to Cop City. The event is organized by @CommunityMvt with other local Black lead activist groups. Massive police presence in the area, crowd is sticking to the sidewalk for now. Flyers that reads demanded ...
People took the streets after marching on the sidewalk. In response the police set up a riot line a few blocks ahead, next to a building with Stop Cop City messages projected on the side. After briefly facing down the police riot line the march moved back onto the sidewalk.
Hundreds of Stop Cop City protesters have arrived at the Atlanta Police Foundation headquarters. A few dozen officers stand in front, some holding AR style rifles. The situation is tense. The people are simply staring down the cops and chanting on the sidewalk. Dozen armored officers stan...Picture of a downtown tower...

At this protest in downtown Atlanta. Around 300 people are currently gathered here holding signs, sharing stories of Tortuguita. I’m mostly recording audio, but will provide some written updates here. Flyer that reads On January...
After a small scuffle with PSL there is now a large march heading north in downtown. Banners at the front that read “They Can’t Kill Us All” and “Trees Give Life, Police Take It.” Lots of “Stop Cop City” chants & “Not One More.” Current chant “If they build it, we will burn it.”
Protesters hit the Atlanta Police Foundation headquarters and a few banks in the area with fireworks and broken windows. Two cop cars had their windows smashed, and then tons of Atlanta police officers arrived from multiple directions. At least a dozen arrests so far.
