Currently in Olympia for another rally Against Hate Groups & Fascism. Police excluded from the title to avoid redundancy.
I think I’m in the wrong place
Antifa travels comfortably. tacticouch meets tacticool
I’ve been bear maced, so has literally every other leftist.
Things are heating up. A shot was fired
When right wing extremist terrorist attack the police stand back and stand by. They take turns. Team work fascism
Has anyone gotten cramps or a stomach ache from mace? This is a first 🤕

We’re currently taking a brief recovery break. I’m alright clearly as I take selfie’s and tweet and smoke a spicy cigarette... some folks are really really hurt 😞 someone got a bat to the head
They’re throwing smoke bombs and other IED’s
Full clip before the IED’s
Another IED they threw at us
They’re proud because they’re burning umbrellas lol.
If anyone is close to the could use support ASAP
Moments before this the man with the flag pole in the front assaulted me and @Claudio_Report
Idk who needs to hear this but if you’re counter-protesting an antifascist rally then you’re a fascist
They’re still following us, we’re pretty much surrounded. They’re chanting “all commies are bastards” to us. There are maybe 2-3 commies with me lol. Maybe.
Also I have to find the footage later but chuds have accused me of organizing this event lmao
I guess he wishes I died in Syria. They keep talking about my background, some right wingers did their research for once I guess lol
No justice
No peace
No fascists
No police! BLACK LIVES MATTER
Just to set the scene... chuds are still chasing us lol
One more for a morale boost because today fucking sucks lol
More police standing back and standing by
We have our first riot line of the day after three hours of being chased, assaulted and menaced with weapons
“Fuck Trump! Fuck Biden too! Both of them don’t give a fuck about you!”
Oh god. Dude in the red apparently fucked around and found out.
Of course the police declare it a riot after the right wingers go hide behind them
The guy with the pole came back and hit me with it a few times during the brief brawl. I pulled out my taser because I was completely surrounded and middle aged men with assault rifles accused me of threatening them lol 😂 we’re all good right now will update shortly
Mind you I didn’t actually tase anyone, I pulled it out for self defense and I have the right to do so.
We’re out of there kind of but we’re being followed and we see people on foot being followed
The person on foot seems to have gotten away luckily. Working on losing our tail.
The person driving the truck tailing has a threeper tattoo. There are a bunch of them in all the surrounding neighborhoods hunting antifascists. Please stay vigilant
(Ok I think we’re good)

Solidarity with everyone still not out
Earlier the chud who called me a cunt said that I am not a journalist but that I am a social media influence. What I’m trying to say is I’m considering switching avenues. Would you subscribe?
And I don’t mean to be insensitive. This is just how I cope with trauma 🙃☺️ Today was really rough and a lot of people were hurt. Some of these right wingers really just look for any excuse to be violent bigoted assholes.
I’m currently choking on bear mace or w/e that was as I blow my nose & reactivate it I guess. You could see it all over the napkin it’s kinda cool I made my friends look. I still feel extremely sick & my stomach pain is unreal... I’ve had my fair share of mace it feels different
Update on the gun that was shot... I believe I got more on camera and I need to sort through it later, but this is inexcusable. It appears the right wingers hit someone with that fired round. Again, the police were literally watching all of this go down
Just complete overt hate... this is disgusting. The woman in the hat is right wing propagandist katie daviscourt (Seattle equivalent to Andy ngope is what our Seattle friends tell me)... wonder why she would support such a thing
Quick note, especially for everyone that was out. I hope everyone looks at today as somewhat of a win still. We were totally outnumbered, at least 10:1, everyone did the best they could with what they had, both safely and in defense and everyone got out. We were surrounded the
entire time and everyone still held their ground. It was great to see a community come together from Portland, Seattle, Olympia and other cities to stand up against fascism and look out for their community.

I’ll be otg soon in Salem for the Rally Against Hate Groups and for Police Accountability. Check this thread for live updates 🧵 A lone antifascist protester holds up a sign that reads “f
Crowd is gathered near the Oregon State Capitol building as they cheer on the speaker in agreement as he talks about his anger over the police murdering Black people. Right wingers sporadically drive by yelling slurs
It’s been brought to my attention that some right wingers jumped some of my friends, including a Black person and a woman. It was a few blocks away from where the group is gathered they were driving a blue pickup truck with stickers all over the back. They’re relatively ok

Here’s what happened when we got detained.

A thread:
On this night there was new graffiti popping up all over town during the late hours. I went on a little scavenger hunt because I wanted to see and document what I could before it got cleaned up. We were driving and saw “fuck thxgiving” & “land back” tagged all over Hawthorne so
We decided to explore on foot. Not that I need to explain myself, but because it was late af and there are literal nazis who want me dead I didn’t go alone, I brought someone with me who was legally armed. This is important later. Anyways, right as we park we hear the sound of

Andy’s about to doxx some camels 😤 portland is wild tonight let’s gooo
They said no cameras but I can live tweet?

Anywhere from 2-500 protestors in bloc are currently climbing over and in some cases under different fences and gates to get inside of the zoo. A wave of nostalgia washes over me as i hear chants of “our fence!”
I’m hearing that the zoo DA will need to be extremely strategic because of the way the property is set up and how the animals are categorized. Since we’ll be split into groups please add any updates and news to this thread so we don’t miss any information. Hold while we have a

They wouldn’t let people protest, kept blocking the march, then sent in the National Guard with hundreds of cops. Who is escalating this? Because it’s not the protesters.
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*
