Back in downtown Portland reporting in front of the Courthouse/Justice Center. It’s Tuesday, July 28th. #blacklivesmatter   #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
The Feds try to make an announcement, they’re abruptly drowned out by the crowd. The gist is about not messing with the fence or being subject to arrest and crowd control munitions. #blacklivesmatter #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong
There are a few guys standing up very high on the courthouse. Many laser are attracted to the very same place. #blacklivesmatter   #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads ImageImageImageImage
Really chill so far. Chants directed towards the courthouse, a fire in the fire pit, and Feds pacing up high on the courthouse. #blacklivesmatter    #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Oh boy, small fire in the courtyard. That means hundreds of people will need to get teargassed. #blacklivesmatter    #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Still Feds on the roof, they decide to shine a spotlight on a large group of press filming them. #blacklivesmatter    #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Just gonna put this here. https://t.co/Mbf0iL5d8V
The Federal Protective Service has declared this an unlawful assembly. Also calling for “all peaceful protesters to head west and north.” #blacklivesmatter     #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms
Gas has cleared out for now, Feds still randomly throwing stun grenades. #blacklivesmatter     #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
A lot of DHS all over the place around Main, Salmon, 4th, and 3rd. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Feds push west. One interesting thing a commanding officer says is “if you can’t get them, don’t waste your munition.” #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
The officers pull back a few feet and throw some teargas and smoke. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
A firework lands next to some press and the Feds decide to advance west towards the crowd. #blacklivesmatter  #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
As the Feds advance west they shoot a massive amount of impact munitions. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Teargas on 5th and Salmon in Portland. Two blocks from federal property. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Officers pull back again and deploy some teargas that gets quickly kicked right back at them. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Some weird new smoke (maybe gas??) that makes the canister glow red and emit black smoke(or gas?). #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
A lot of smoke and gas in the streets and park. The Feds head inside the courtyard. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
Someone tosses a teargas canister back over the fence then gets repeatedly shot at. Their shield holds up. #blacklivesmatter      #Protests #pdx #portland #oregon #blm #acab #PortlandProtest #PDXprotest #PortlandStrong #wallofmoms #MomsAreHere #Portlanddads
This was a fun way to end the night, one of us got given a letter from a boogaloo boy... Elaine and myself read it outloud.

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.

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