DEVELOPING: A protestor was just shot in Portland near the Justice Center, reports of multiple shots fired, situation fluid.
This situation is currently unfolding. I will post additional information if and when I am able to confirm it. Stay safe, Portland.

If you pray, please pray for the people impacted by this.
CONFIRMED: The individual who was shot near the justice center in Portland has died.
CONFIRMED: Similarly to that of the violent 'call to arms' in Kenosha WI, this evening's confrontational "Trump Caravan" utilized a Facebook event page to market their event and create space for violent inspiration in their discussion tab. facebook.com/events/6587709…
UPDATE: The individual who was killed appears to have worn tactical gear with adornments associated with "pro-police" and anti-Islam positions.
PERSONAL NOTE: I believe in revolutionary antifascist resistance to our current crisis, but I also believe we should never relish when one of our opposition loses their life.

We should strive to heal the wounds caused by this administration, not rub salt in them.

Militarized Federal Agents from a patchwork of outside agencies have begun policing Portland (in rented minivans vans) without the explicit approval of the mayor, the state, or local municipalities. This is what that looks like in practice:
Now combine these tactics with cities/regions known for Trump-emboldened vigilantes wearing similar gear and you have a very dangerous and unpredictable cocktail.

Clear identification is key to de-escalation.
For folks asking "who are these guys?":

Four federal law enforcement agencies including U.S. Marshals, Federal Protective Service, Customs & Border Protection & Homeland Security Investigations have rotated officers through Portland since early July. kgw.com/article/news/i…

As he attempts to strong arm the House Committee on Intelligence, I thought folks should know Acting Director of National Intelligence, @RichardGrenell is a member of a private dm group filled w/ alt-light grifters, qanon proponents, snake oil peddlers, and Fox News contributors.
The "secret" DM group, aptly named "MAGA Verified," was created by @MichaelCoudrey, an alt-right adjacent consultant who recently became central in pushing a dubious narrative surrounding Hydroxychloroquine as a miracle treatment for #Covid19 patients, amplified by Trump himself.
This "secret" DM group is one of about a half dozen similar influential MAGA echo chambers wherein Trump sycophants, admin b-listers, and alt-right protagonists cross pollinate with and signal boost each other.
