There are a LOT of people who showed up. Currently marching
Very large group here from Seattle to show solidarity for Kevin Peterson JR. Crowd is currently chanting “ACAB! All cops are bastards!” With a strong drum line
We approached a line of cops in their vehicles as we were marching. The crowd halted and officers announced that the bridge was closed. (It isn’t actually closed, they’re just fascists, allegedly)
Cops searching vehicles and taking down vin numbers
Group took a break from chanting to sing and dance to “bella ciao”
While marching the group was met with federal officers lined up protecting this federal building
Big stick.

Dj fedrad just announced the facility is closed and that everyone must remain “ on the sidewalk or across the street” or be subject to arrest including press
At the Clark County Sheriffs office, detainees have turned on their lights and are banging their windows in support
“End the world for KP.”
The street lights all ominously turned off. Marching. 90% sure I just heard a gunshot
Cute baby alert 🥺
Juvenile justice center
Unlawful assembly declared
A different kind of chudmobile
Shots fired Car@ that bear maced protesters just just live rounds
Just shot live rounds* sorry shaky
No one appears to be hurt
There’s a parade of police. For people who were attending a vigil... who are now at a park. But the parade of police were nowhere to be found when shots were fired!
Someone asked these people who are “backing the blue” if they’re deer hunting because of their camo. He responded “no elk hunting” and went on to mock activists about the sacred nightmare elk they stole from Portland. Audra Price is here
Another gun pointed at us! By someone who doesn’t know how to handle firearms!
She just waved a gun around at at least 20 of us
The police were right behind us when it happened. Here she’s pointing it at @Johnnthelefty
📷 @DocLowKey
They just arrested two members of the press @MacSmiff and @DocLowKey and tried to arrest me too for not moving fast enough @DocLowKey was literally walking away
@MacSmiff called a shorter cop “mucinex man” and mucinex man said “book him!” 😡 (this is fascism)
I’m out safely. It’s been a WEEK yo. So after those gunshots were fired we were really shaken up and ready to leave. @MacSmiff @Jahdi_ @DocLowKey and I were all catching a ride together. We were getting in the car right before i posted the tweet about the police parade. We stuck
Around for a bit because we couldn’t get out because all the police vehicles had us surrounded. Things got hectic with the chuds, there was the incident with the gun, all while there was a police line behind us (but the large group wasn’t near us)... one of our friends was on the
Corner where the police were. We were about to leave and @MacSmiff went to go grab our friend and @Jahdi_ went to deescalate an altercation with the RW. Doc & I went towards Mac and after he was arrested they took Doc as he was walking AWAY... it all happened so fast.
I’m not surprised that the police and feds did nothing about the shooter and people pointing guns but I am still furious, especially considering they arrested two journalists, one of which is a known activist and both of which are BIPOC 🤬 tonight was a vigil for a Black Man who
was murdered by the police, and instead my thread has been primarily about right wing violence and harassment, including from the cops to cap the night.
They destroyed the beautiful display from the vigil. As if tonight wasn’t enough. What do you even call this atrocious behavior? This is incredibly disgusting and I’ve reached my limit for the night.
Kevin Peterson 🖤
You deserved better.

Imagine attending a vigil for someone to have it be disrespectfully crashed by right wingers excited to show off their racism & hate. Tonight, that’s the unfortunate reality for Kevin Peterson Jr.’s family and friends as they try to mourn his death at tonight’s vigil in Vancouver
There are many heavily armed citizens including on the rooftops of local business
Right wingers have brought a tank to the vigil. The disrespect is unreal. It’s disgusting

You don’t get to avoid accountability by saying you’re nonpolitical & nonpartisan. Your post made it political. Congratulating ACB is compliance with white supremacy & misogyny. Just because she is a woman does not mean she is any less of a monster.
“We are here to lift up girls & women” start by taking a stand for what’s right, speaking up about it & standing behind it & backing it up. Educate the youth. Encourage the youth to speak up & take a stand and do what’s right. Don’t congratulate someone who will set us all back.
The response is even worse than the original tweet. The appointment of ACB is setting back FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS for trans folks, women, minorities... SO MANY PEOPLE. Instead of standing up for them & setting a good example you chose to

Last night, Indigenous community members from Six Nations in Ontario, Canada dug up a highway at 1492 Land Back Lane. This land is being threatened by capitalistic development even though it is not rightfully theirs to build on. Earlier in the week activists were attacked with
“less than lethal” munitions and had assault rifles pointed at them after they were defending their land from a camp sweep, the LEO response resulted in officers being pushed out of the area and met with a volley of projectiles and police vehicles with smashed windows.
After this happened, hundreds from the community joined the occupation to protect their land with bodies as well as surround it with burning barricades to help keep out any law enforcement officers.

Early yesterday I spoke with someone named Adedeji who is a local in Lagos, Nigeria. Adedeji was in Lekki at the time attending a demonstration where they were protesting police brutality when the Nigerian army open fired on protesters.
He told me he was scared because of how the government was lying and trying to hide evidence. He said m, “the military say they were not the ones that executed the
massacre. I saw them. I saw their strategy, I saw one of them taking a video,” he tells me he even saw the soldiers dragging bodies away. He confirmed to seeing two deceased bodies with his own eyes and that his friends were eye witnessed for other deaths, claiming that at least

I like how Trump put “people committing suicide” after the economy. Like oh shit what can I add to make this less about capitalism
You would think he would’ve retired the white power symbol by now.
“My guess is that he would be more outspoken with the Iranians” (vs the Russians) - Biden about Trump. this was actually a good low blow with like 6 meanings lol
