“Not a big antifa crowd yet” 😑 Bloc babes where y’all at?? Image
“Portland- this will no longer be a racist city! Are you with me?!” - speaker at the ijc, big cheers from the crowd
Whoever just said “is that antifa?!” When we walked by I see you and I love you lol
“White and Black are now united! We are ONE race, the HUMAN RACE!”
Also when I said kids I didn’t mean to be patronizing! It was a reference to something from earlier
There is a person streaming and signing to their audience it’s incredible 😻🥰
some peace policing happening... protesters are yelling “people over property!”
Anyone know where we can find water lol
Someone pointed out how aggressive some peace police can be and I thought that was an an interesting point. Ironic, really.
Y’all please be careful... my new stalker is now sending me FACE PICS of people “committing crimes” they have all been deleted but Bloc up and stay vigilant please
Lololol wanna laugh
We’re hearing the fed snatch vans have been around. Be careful y’all. Can’t confirm but still be careful
Speakers are currently speaking and leading chants on the megaphone in front of the federal courthouse and the crowd is gathered all around the fed fence - a handful of protesters fill the “closed” park
Also I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned trumps threat to delay the elections yet 😳
If you feel so inclined, here is a link you can find where to support Portland’s independent journos 🥰

We were just saying this lol.

Speaker still on the megaphone in front of the federal courthouse, a group of about 10 journos think they are going to gas us once the “big cameras” leave. Big if true.
Speaker- who do we protect?!
Protesters- Black Youth!!
Also did y’all know the feds are trying to remove the court order that protects journalists???!!! I WONDER WHY 🤬🤬

Some guy just went up to a group of NLG and said “hi! Are you guys press?” and now is explaining how they put ice on the elkless elk so no one starts a fire because that’s when the cops and feds come out. Y’all... What the actual...
Current person on the speaker freestyling straight 🔥🔥
Wow... peace police out full force tonight. I... yeah. Tonight’s different.
Do @GriffinMalone6 and I just attract unsolicited conversation interrupters??
Oh god. He’s singing to us now. If you see this this is our call for reinforcements ‼️‼️‼️
So this is happening... - @GriffinMalone6
Thank you!! It worked! He’s gone now but here’s part of him singing to us in my ear
Crowd just got a new wave of energy... now chanting “fuck Donald trump!” at the federal courthouse. Someone journos with me said “we are @defendpdx and we support this message!” - can confirm
Someone just said “yeah there’s like 60 people here... I was actually literally able to do a headcount”
I can’t confirm as I haven’t recounted but I trust who said this.
Now chanting “@realDonaldTrump is a racist!” - also true
When the cops don’t riot there is always art to look at and people to listen to Image
Pigs just came out of the federal courthouse behind the fence literally don’t know why no reason. But someone just screamed “hey thanks for not shooting me in the fucking face dick!”
They already retreated... ok?
Current vibe
No. Secret. Police. 👀 Image
We’re out safely 🖤

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

Easily a few thousand people out in LA marching in support of Palestine
A very large Palestinian flag being carried by marchers
Service is awful can’t really post. But cops appear to have blocked off the road right ahead of where the march is heading

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
