Last night governor Kate Brown deployed the National Guard as protesters attempted to march. Once again in Portland, antifascist activists kept getting blocked for trying to practice their constitutional rights. Police and NG moved in formation together and injured many people
Police pushed us down to the ground a lot, made an arrest, and pushed press back a block away from what was happening. There were at least 10 arrests but this one was the only one I was able to *not see*

all just extremely frustrating. I get frustrated with myself too for the de-sensitivity. The fascism and continuous daily escalation of authoritarianism is not lost on me, I’ve just become so fucking numb to a lot of it because of how normalized this all is and has become. I also
