So the PNW Community Action Network received an email from sweatyigloo@protonmail.com, so let's be crystal clear that Boogaloo leeches are 100% unwelcome at our events.
Accelerationist chuds in Hawaiian shirts fantadizing about civil war not welcome (a short thread)
It is such a gross thing that these pathetic actors try to use #BlackLivesMatter demonstrations or other movement-oriented mobilizations to try to grasp at some legitimacy.
The community has repeatedly and consistently demanded cuts to PPB. But as other city services have been slashed, Portland continues to fund the unaccountable cops attacking us in the streets.
It is long past time to actually listen to community demands.
Not even outside the intro yet and we had to take a sec to encourage y'all to read @chick_in_kiev's incredible new book: Culture Warlords.
6 pages in and Talia Lavin is already powerfully capturing why uncompromising antifascist work is so essential
One critical point she makes early on... those on the far-right are not exceptional. They do not represent some special evil. They are just people.
This is why we must not give these ideologies any space; for they will use it to spread.
Shut. It. Down.
Also appreciate the honesty from Lavin about the rage & hate this work has surfaced for her.
Another liberal myth to quash... not all hate is the same. Not all hate is bad. Sometimes it is a natural & motivating response to bigotry and violence that must be smashed to bits
We can only do this work together! Sharing notes, checking work, avoiding duplicate efforts & supporting each other during these difficult times is critical!

Deleted the photo just posted of the gunshot victim from above due to there being too much visibility of the victim's face. We will post more as more information comes out.
This was predictable.
This was preventable.
The most aggravating thing about it is that we all know that.

Def worth nothing that Shannon Monihan and Red Frog want nothing to do with Garrick Fernbaugh at this point...
Monihan confirms that Fernbaugh is indeed the person in @_WhatRiot's video. We have also received confirmed reports coming from other individuals close to Fernbaugh that it is him in this video
