Last night, on the 100 day anniversary of the uprising against police violence, several Portland DSA members, including members of the steering committee, were arrested on fabricated felony charges.
This comes as the real violent forces of repression, the federally-deputized Oregon State Police and the Portland Police Bureau, continue to beat, brutalize, and gas peaceful protesters.
These violent agents of the state terrorize Portland neighborhoods with impunity, where babies sleep and families are forced to wear respirators in their own homes, at the behest of politicians that are supposed to be on "our side”.
This is part of a long pattern of political repression from the state. As socialists, we recognize that capitalism and racism are intertwined, and the police are the enforcers of these oppressive systems.
We will continue to stand against police violence and call for a total defunding and abolition of the police state in Portland. #DefundPPB
