Downtown Portland, Tuesday July 7th. There are a few hundred people here in front of the Federal Courthouse, right next to the Justice Center, protesting for the 42nd night in a row. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter ImageImageImageImage
A closer look at the state of the Federal Courthouse. Note the “murder holes” (castle style) on the side of the plywood. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter ImageImageImageImage
There has been a sit-in right in front of the federal courthouse for the past 20 minutes. Half a dozen people have given short speeches. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The group that came here for the “Night of Rage for Summer Taylor” have moved to Chapman Square and separated from the group doing the sit-in by the federal courthouse. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
There is a minute of silence in front of the courthouse for Summer Taylor, an activist who was murdered at a Black Lives Matter protest in Seattle a few days ago. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #summertaylor
Multiple speakers in front of the courthouse today are saying they are from a group in Eugene call Black Unity. Currently someone is talking about getting gassed and shot in Eugene during the first few days of protest.
The vigil for Summer Taylor in Chapman Square. Around a hundred people are in the park. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #summertaylor
There has been some conflict between the group at the courthouse and the youth led vigil in the park. I plan writing a more in depth piece on conflict a later date.
Federal Officers out of the blue stormed the park. Unclear why or what their goal was. A few stun grenades were used. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #summertaylor
The Officers moved back to one of nearby federal buildings and begun to aim and shoot munitions into the crowd. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
Officers back in their building for now. I have heard rumors they are currently putting gas masks on. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The protesters seem to be all in front of the Justice Center now. #blacklivesmatter    #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
More disputes about the different groups. A lot of talk about wanting “unity” and not working with the police. Like I said before, after some more research I’ll write a more fleshed out piece about the conflict between the different protest groups.
The group has split, around 100 folks have left and 100 are still in the park. Here’s the candles from the vigil and the stun grenades that were thrown a bit ago. ImageImage
Some PPB officers just appeared behind the Justice Center. Perhaps a shift change. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
As the police move across the street into the Justice Center the crowd decides to escort them in. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The LRAD announced that the police are observing vandalism on the Justice Center, and maybe “people trying to brake in.” So they send the riot cops in response. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
And after blocking the road for ten minutes, the police decide to leave. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
We had one officer not coving his name tag. @TheRealCoryElia any throughts? ImageImage

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'

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.

My beloved cat Chairman Meow died suddenly this morning. I got them to help with ptsd after summer 2020.
