Crowd is gathered in the center of the injustice center and federal courthouse listening to a Black speaker who has been speaking words of encouragement about the movement. Many cheers from the crowd
“I can’t sleep cuz of y’all, y’all never gonna sleep cuz of me!”

Since milkshake is stealing my videos & lying about what’s happening again, PSU president & local media are insinuating the cop went to the hospital due to physical harm from protesters, & the portland police chiefs false statement, here’s what actually happened:
After the arraignment for the two students arrested Wednesday, 2 people chained themselves to the admin building at Portland State University again on Thursday. As they were chaining themselves, students and community supporters immediately formed lines in front of them.
The two chained up to the building were violently arrested, and two others who were in the line of people linked up in front of them got arrested as well after being assaulted. Arrestees were pulled into the admin building by campus police.

A moving act of solidarity as veterans burn their uniforms at a vigil for Aaron Bushnell hosted by veterans against war. This was after some extremely moving speeches, including a Vietnam War veteran who was a part of the SDS and did a lot of anti-war organizing.
While what happened to Aaron Bushnell is heartbreaking, this was by no means a somber vigil. There were sad moments, but the energy was high as at least 6 speakers who were all veterans used their time to remember Aaron Bushnell and empower the crowd to act-
Encouraging people to not imitate Aaron Bushnell, but be inspired by his courage- with an added emphasis on active duty military to act in defiance against the genocide and imperialism

Even though this weekend turned into something else entirely with “gods army” at the Texas border, I think it’s really important for ppl to realize how prepared a lot of these fascist groups & militias are for a “civil war,” & the things that they are willing to spill blood over.
Neo-Nazis and Christian nationalists are becoming more dangerous and emboldened by the day. All the while gaining more support from the fascist GOP, law enforcement, and other people in this country who have actual power.

The post J6 shock and awe from liberals has dissipated.
Even the more liberal MSM is still lacking vital context when reporting on fascism and white supremacy, *if* they report on it. They continue to condemn broken windows in the name of justice harder than they could ever fathom condemning actual violence against human beings by

A thread on Andy and PPB: Andy’s lies, exaggerations, and misinformation he constantly posts about me and others continues to put people in the same exact danger he cries about daily. Andy has openly admitted this in court just months ago.
Andy says I was stopped by officers after I brought a “shiv” to the courthouse. The reality? My necklace, a small coffin nail I forged, set-off the metal detector when walking into the building. A security person asked that I leave it outside. No officers, no shiv. No problem.
Andy continues to call me a “member” of Antifa, despite a court judge just stating during his trial that Antifa is not an organization, therefore it is impossible to be a “member”. Andy either knows this and lies intentionally, or isn’t the expert he claims to be.

Everyone should be paying attention to what’s happening at state levels, especially in regards to schools and education. This is a terrifying escalation.
The Republican Party has dramatically escalated its war on education, & their war on education, I would argue, is one of THE most crucial factors in their push for a fully fascist institution. Over the past few years much of this was done under the guise of combating things like
CRT. Shaping a new conspiracy theory & using it to scare white people into supporting a full fledged war on teaching literature & history in schools. After finding success in this tactic, republicans have been more empowered to dramatically escalate their assault on all forms
