Hey everyone,

I'll be live-tweeting for the @DailyEmerald tonight from Washburne Park in #EugeneOregon for BIPOC Liberation Collective's vigil starting at 7:30 p.m. Image
There are about 30 people here spread about the grass.
It's quiet and there isn't much to report on, sorry folks.
A speaker just said that the group would appreciate if people who are not Indigenous to not bring and burn sage as it's cultural appropriation.
The event is starting with a speaker talking about people killed at the hands of police.
Now speaking about Tatiana (sp?) Hall from Philadelphia.

The speaker says that not much is known about her case because of "likely deadnaming"
After each person is spoken about, the group goes into a chant: "say their name, [insert name]"
The event sounds to be wrapping up. Image
Oops, I never closed my thread.

The ACLU of Oregon has released an alarming Call to Action regarding proposed accountability standards for cops within the state and how the process is being co-opted by law enforcement themselves.

aclu-or.org/en/campaigns/c…
"Oregon is trying to create accountability standards for cops; however, this process is being co-opted by police and their accomplices to shield bad cops."
It's bad, folks. It's really bad.

Well I'm here at the corner of Garfield and 9th Place where houseless residents living in trailers were threatened early last night and told they would towed this morning.

Stop The Sweeps is here to aid.
I was here earlier this morning, too, when folks actually thought something was going to happen. Nothing did.

But now, at 9:45 a.m., EPD is present talking with one of the people here. Folks have been told they have until Monday before they'll be ticketed and forced to leave.
Wow. I've moved just a few blocks over to 8th and Grant where other RVs are being towed away.

Well, I'm back out and near the Dove Medical Center in Eugene where a "Night of Rage" is supposed to take place at 10 p.m.

Earlier today, people were seen gathered in the parking lot, on the roof, and they boarded up all the windows. ID: Flyer. Background image is people in bloc. Text is pride
Security is currently posted out front and there's a man upstairs in the OCCU building take photos.
The crowd of around 30 people, many in black bloc, has crossed the street and is now standing in front of the security guards on the sidewalk.

Small group of pro-reproductive rights protesters in front of the Federal Courthouse right now.
Well, I am back at the Federal Courthouse where several dozen people have gathered since I was last here.

There's a tent on the stairs leading up to the building and speeches from what I can see across the street.
We have a trio of bike cops.

Heyo,

It's been a while.

I'm walking up to Tykeson Hall at UO for this teach-in about the CIA since they are, apparently, recruiting on campus this week. There is too much text for Twitter, so, a recap:   A black a
Notably, I just learned today that the university's Center for Cyber Security and Privacy is sponsored by both the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security 😬
Signs that say "CIA Go Way" and "Fuck the CIA" rest against concrete ledges behind Tykeson Hall. Signs that say "CIA Go Way" and "Fuck the CIA
