THREAD: We're representing 4 clients who filed a lawsuit today suing Proud Boys over assaults, battery etc. at rallies last month. For 2 weekends, the Proud Boys descended on Portland, sowing chaos, shooting at passers-by, and lobbing explosives. They're returning tomorrow.
Timing is not a coincidence. This suit is intended to deter the defendants from returning to our city to cause more harm and distress. The Proud Boys have a longstanding history & acknowledged strategy of using violence to intimidate & harm those who stand against fascism.
The lawsuit names 3 prominent figures associated with the Proud Boys: Alan Swinney of Texas, Corey Wyatt of Eugene, Ore., and David Willis of Lincoln Co, Ore. The lawsuit is also against certain presently unknown individuals.

We've joined with @OregonPSR to call for an independent investigation by legislators into the recent wildfire evacuations from #Oregon prisons. Our newsletter has more details, or read this thread to learn what incarcerated Oregonians experienced. mailchi.mp/ojrc/vvvg4fytj… #orpol
All of these examples came from incarcerated people and their loved ones, and we heard similar accounts from many people. 1) Women evacuees not getting regular or adequate food and drink, e.g. one woman reported receiving only a peanut butter sandwich in a 29-hour period.
2) At the Oregon State Penitentiary, limited access to toilets, mixed with prison politics making access harder for some. Individuals were passing out because they did not want to drink water because they could not access the bathrooms.
