Tuesday Aug 4th, at Peninsula Park in North Portland. A protest march is planned for this evening, destination currently unknown. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
We have @RevRibs here right now. I’m guessing people will be heading out soon. #blacklivesmatter #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice ImageImageImageImage
And the march has started, we have a wall of moms in the front. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
I’m hearing from the bikers blocking off traffic that there are a lot of cop cars driving around.
One vehicle bypassed the upper bike baracade and drive towards the march. Bikes chased it down and it turned a little bit before the crowd.
No police presence visible at Portland Police Association building (Police Union). #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The main door is boarded up, but some lights inside are turned on. Also lotta cameras around the whole builong. #blacklivesmatter  #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice ImageImageImageImage
Small baracade a little bit west of the PPA building on Denver and Lumbard. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
There’s a kerfuffle with a few people trying to protect the PPA building. After some de-escalation they have moved away a little from the building
The LRAD has appeared and told people to “stop trying to break in or vandalized the Portland Police Association building.” #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
One of the few people trying to “protect the building,” members of the crowd are trying to keep things calm and not get agitated.
Current scene at the PPA building. a tiny bit of spray paint, but no one trying to break in. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice ImageImageImageImage
Just “Black Lives Matter” chants right now, plus some Wall of Moms line dancing. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
The LRAD did the announcement again for the first time in about half an hour. #blacklivesmatter   #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Portland Police on the LRAD have said “All persons should leave the area now.” An unlawful assembly or riot has not been declared yet.
A grey pickup truck just tried to run down the crowd, unsure if anyone is hurt.
The journalist @DonovanFarley got some video. It appears no is physically injured. https://t.co/iL9W2TV043
More vans and dumpsters being used as baracades in hopes of preventing further veichular attacks.
I have reason to believe the driver has been apprehended, he also appeared to pull a handgun on some people that tracked him down.
Unlawful Assembly declared.
The police advance forward and throw some teargas canisters. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
Teargas kicked back at the police, officers move up west towards Denver Ave. #blacklivesmatter    #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
As the riot cops drive off they throw a smoke bomb into the street. #blacklivesmatter     #protest #pdx #Portland #Oregon #BLM #acab #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #PortlandStrong #portlandpolice
At approximately 12:30 there were four gunshots around the area. And soon as I heard the pops I headed down a side street for cover.
Some police soon came back and the LRAD announced the police were “conducting an investigation.”
As the “investigation team” leaves they make the decision to fire some smoke and stun grenades at the crowd. I’ve been told no one was shot during the gunfire.
I am home safe, check out @MrOlmos and @PDocumentarians for continued coverage tonight. I hear PPB just declared a riot.

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'

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.
