That was fucked! My videos aren’t posting but we just found a group of protesters that were hiding and we joined and cheered and it was a happy moment!
Current speaker is looking for someone’s address and my friends are asking if I got swooped... still feeling out the vibe here and idk what to tell you. Will report back.
Marching again. “Out of your homes into the streets!” They chant
Welp. Crowd has significantly thinned out at injustice
Sorry for the hiatus, got a little interview with the speaker from Seattle. A little over 100 is my guess of how many people remain. Scattered but mainly in front of the federal courthouse

I love getting death threats for being a journalist at a protest it’s super fun btw. I wonder how big and strong these men feel
A car drove by and stopped to look at us very closely. That’s it that’s the news rn. Did you celebrate 4:20 3 minutes ago?? What’s everyone up to? Hopefully no one replies and you’re all sleeping and resting.
Someone said “if I was a fed and a horrible person my dream would be to push someone while they’re in one of those honey buckets”
Current topic of discussion- what’s in your apocalypse go bag?? 👀 👀
Currently- on the curb crying. There is a human who I have interacted with a few times. She has protected me & others from violent rioting officer numerous times & we spoke about her violent arrest. One of the most incredible humans I’ve met and it’s not my story to share but wow
Am I tired and emotional? Definitely. Doesn’t make the story less terrible.
Ok but @cdsupriyadi did just make me laugh and said “60 + days of cops rioting will do that to you”
Lol now he said “that’s the teargas talking”
Also the sky is starting to turn blue.
Out of downtown. Good morning 🙃

I like this tweet so I’m gonna put it here because I can.
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
After repeatedly trying to avoid answering questions related to his constant targeting of ppl on twitter, far-right grifter & renowned content stealer And* Ng* was forced to admit that his tweets do indeed cause ppl 2 b targeted, often resulting in harassment & physical violence
yes he’s in portland. and his accent goes away each time he panics (which is a lot)
the defendant’s attorney was also able to show that And* Ng* intentionally omits details of events to protect far-right extremists and to make them appear less violent than they are to his 1 million followers, especially when in comparison to leftist activists.
