They just detained literally all of us
This is so weird. We’re not allowed to leave and surrounded on both sides. “Sit down and stay where you are”
They’re asking legal observers to go to the cops to be released one at a time. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
They are now asking the press to leave ... this is a wild kettle
People on the other side of the cop line are cheering for the cops
Other cop line. We’re just detained doing nothing...
“We will be removing you one at a time... please remain calm and wait for directions”
Now there’s people on the other side chanting “let them go!” 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺
They are now asking us to go to 14th to be removed one by one.
The group on the other side of the cop line that is supporting us has grown. More people chanting let them go and there are drums on the other side now. People are protesting for the protesters 🥺
Group on the other side showing support for us and our group back at them. Cops think it’s funny to detain people for no reason, one says “what world do we live in?” and laughs. Idk # 285 you tell me, maybe a militarized fascist police state one?
Some people left. People now linking arms sitting
From the circle
They’re forcibly removing whoever isn’t walking forward. A few dead weight and some people complying and walking with while they’re literally grabbed. Folks still sitting on the ground planning on not moving
And of course they’re going for medics and press first FYI
A few people remain standing. The rest of us are sitting.
They just rushed and grabbed someone in a violent arrest out of nowhere
They just came to grab @Johnnthelefty ... “I’m not ready to go. I’m tired” then sits down lol. Group cheered
They just came to say if we don’t walk out we’re all getting arrested
They’re all whispering
People are in pretty good spirits. Lots of funny heckling and people determined to not give in
Idk what’s happening but the other group is getting kinda loud 👀 they seem much further away now so idk what’s happening with folks released and whoever showed up later to support those kettled
Ok we just heard a LOUD “ACAB!” chant from them from seemingly far? At least a few blocks away? and our group cheered so loud and chanted back. Sounds like they’re marching towards us
“We don’t move until they move!”
Someone said “we are 13/14 bloc”
Lots of people in 13/14 bloc saying they have to pee
Cop just came and did duck duck goose
Some more Arrests being made more people being forcibly removed.
“We can’t be water but we can be cement!”
Cop- “grab another one”
Group is chanting “John smith!” To exclaim that aren’t going to do what they ask by identifying with names and ID
Chanting “take the L, go home!”
This is so ridiculous. About 20 of us left

Another day another doxx. Fuck with me all you want but you better fucking leave my son alone. This is not a joke.
I literally just moved again too. ahhh. What a great day lol. They also went on a mass harassment and report campaign. My main platform where I do my work which is IG got deleted for no reason other than spam reports. Fuck you.
Chuds are also sharing my OF in their telegram 😭😅 thanks for the boost I guess

The stop the line 3 demonstration ended and some people heckled the feds and a single paint balloon was thrown. A full line of DHS Police are out now
So excessive...
I was mistaken. Stop the line 3 demonstration still going on. PPB came in, arrest made for no reason afaik

Stop the line 3 action in Portland. We arrived at Chase Bank, the security guard pulled his gun on activists before moving back & people made their way in. Indigenous folks are now singing the women’s warrior song & the group is singing along while holding a banner to the window
We’re marching again
This person who was stalking the march in this very incognito attire walked away and into city hall...

Current scene in Olympia, WA. Earlier activists provided shelter for 40+ houseless folks at the Red Lion near the Capitol. About 2 hours ago police and state troopers showed up & have been holding the line. About 7 detainees thus far and they are now detaining houseless folks
Police are claiming this is a hostage situation. When I was streaming earlier you could hear people living in the apartments next to the hotel yelling at the police for trapping them in their homes. One asked how he was supposed to walk his dog.
There are LOTS of police behind the hotel as well. People are yelling to the cops asking what the charges are as no one knows why they’re being arrested (aside from the fact that being poor is a crime in America)
