There are so many people in Alberta Park for the 2 month anniversary of the murder of George Floyd 7/25 #portandprotests #BLM
And we are marching!
“How do you spell racist? PPB”
Banners 
“ACAB! All cops are bastards!”
And now we are moving past the north Portland precinct
“What do we need? JUSTICE!”
The march is heading south on MLK
I have no clue where this march is heading
We are still marching South on MLK. Current chant “No cops! No Prisons! Total abolition!”
If anyone was curious we are still marching
Flag burning on MLK and Multnomah
The march
The protesters are taking the Steel Bridge
As we head south on third I can already see fireworks and gas
#fuckthefeds in flowers on the fence
The #WallofMoms and the shield wall are becoming one
My new favorite thing by #riotribs
Even with the occasional tear gas & impact rounds vs firework fight there are thousands in the parks and spilling out into the surrounding streets down third and main and salmon
“The people power, power to the people. Black power, Brown power Queer Power Women power”
The scene on salmon feels surreal with so many different groups in gas masks and blocked colors. People taking google breaks while medics assist others and a group practices with hockey sticks. Like a block party met Mad Max and the Warriors
At the fence everyone is ready, the doors are open but I do not see the feds
There is so much energy in the crowd that is just . . . waiting for the feds? I am curious how this momentum is going to be channeled to further the movement
And the fence is down. This feels more like a battle than last night it’s more people on the don’t lines
Feds in 4th and salmon
The feds rush into this cloud of gas between 4th and 5th on salmon and arrest 4in the cloud
One arrest
The rest of the arrests
Police and fed cars racing down the street
So I hid in 7/11 tonight. As soon as the fed rush was over PPB declared a riot and pushed Protesters and press and NLG back to 405. @hungrybowtie was maced and now I am out of downtown
