Thread for the Tuesday July 14th protests in Portland. I’m currently at Lownsdale Park, across from the Federal Courthouse and Justice Center. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter ImageImageImageImage
A small march from Pioneer Square just arrived and now is occupying the section of Main Street between the Justice Center and Courthouse .#blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter

About 250 people in the parks and street around the Justice Center. Some folks giving speeches on a megaphone. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
A small candle light memorial with flowers for Donavan LaBella, who was shot in the face with a “less lethal” munition on Saturday night. He’s had to undergo facial reconstruction surgery. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
The beginnings of a barricade are starting on Salmon Street. #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter
A little fire at the former base of the stag statue. About 150-200 people in the area still. #blacklivesmatter   #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #riotribs #CLAT
Federal Officers have come out to watch the crowd gathering on Morrison in front of the Justice Center. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #riotribs #CLAT
Meanwhile the Portland Police Bureau came and dismantled the baracade on Salmon street. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #riotribs #CLAT
And they head out. No one was shot with impact rounds or arrested. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #riotribs #CLAT
Looks like some of the baracade materials were retrieved beforehand, it is being rebuilt now. There’s also a small trash fire, some people complain about the fire not helping Black Lives Matter. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #riotribs #CLAT ImageImageImageImage
And the fire has been put out. Someone at one point said “All the people the start fires and shit are the first to run when the cops come.” There are ongoing debates here about that statement. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #riotribs #CLAT
Here is what has been reconstructed of the barricade so far. It turns out the person that started the fire was with the group people complaining about fires. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #riotribs #CLAT
Federal Officers just arrested a person as they were trying to discretely pee. Someone showed me video.
The current state of the barricade on 3rd and Salmon. As people bring in more materials a street medic wonders “Where do people find this stuff?” #blacklivesmatter  #pdx #portlandoregon #oregon #blm #acab #portland #justicecenter #riotribs #CLAT
People dressed like federal officers just pulled up to the park in a gray minivan then grabbed someone and drove off. It happened to quick for me to get footage from where I was.
The crowd is very tense right now.
Here is some footage of what happened. https://t.co/zIjuvhs85Z
It appears no one was grabbed in this latest incident. However this matches the description of several separate reported events that have happened tonight when people have been taken.
A lot of Federal Officers showed up and used a lot of teargas. I’ll continue my coverage in a new thread that’ll link here in a few minutes.

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.

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.
