When I talk to people in the #pnw who were really supportive of BLM in June, for them the message is now getting convoluted by the ongoing violence and looting in Portland and -to a lesser extent- Seattle. It’s hard for them to separate the two. (1/2)

I think that’s partially the responsibility of news. It wasn’t til I spoke with portlanders in the know that I found which Black activists I should be following to understand what BLM is still doing in Portland. A lot of local orgs just cover what happens after dark. (2/2)
Ps if you want good coverage of Portland, follow @OPB.
