Please pardon the weird typo at the end. My laptop and Twitter aren't working well together at the moment and I cannot turn INSERT off and had to rewrite that tweet several times on a separate tab :(

I have finished reading, highlighting, and digesting the federal complaint filed against the City of Springfield, the Springfield Police, and individual officers, by the @CLDC on behalf of Black Unity (@Eblack_unity).

This is going to be a LONG thread.
Disclaimer: I'll be mentioning things that stood out to me — in page order — but won't discuss everything line-by-line.

If you would like to follow along, here's a link to the PDF version ⤵️

Pg. 1: The first thing that stands out is the sheer number of defendants — over 20.

Also, a "request for jury trial."

I'm up earlier than usual to check out this "Stop The Sweeps" protest on the North Bank of the Willamette River.
There are a handful of people here now gathered around a banner that says "People have the right to resist - stop the sweeps. Two EPD cars are blocking the way towards the sweep. A large white banner with black text reads "people haveAn orange and white striped barrier blocks a bike path. On i
I had been working on that tweet for a while and many more folks have shown up in that time. I'd say about 30-40 people.

I'm here!!

We are about to set up our table. Expect minimal tweets from me unless there's something big.
So far there's a few dozen people setting up tables. Oh and there's a cross-thing with a mannequin atop being set up.
Oh and the usual crew of circling counter-pros

Just got here and I'm walking towards the federal courthouse
There's about 50-60 pro-Trumpers here that I can see and a handful of counters.

Considerable yelling back and forth.
Pro-Trump flags and Anti-Kate Brown signs are around the federal courthouse.

January 6th was the longest day of my entire life. Many others agree, I am sure.

That being said, I realized something yesterday.

I realized that I, like so many people around the same age, don't remember exactly where we were when 9/11 happened.
But on January 6th, I can tell you exactly what I was wearing and where I was standing.
It has been difficult while I wrap my head around what I saw while also not ignoring the facts—this IS a birthing pain as @VanJones68 questioned.

Make no mistake. Anyone that has interacted with MAGA supporters at BLM protests knows this is not the end. It's the beginning.
