Wow, okay folks. So this evening @wweek published a extremely brief piece "reporting" on a statement we sent specifically to press earlier today. They claim that in said statement, we are "distancing ourselves" from current protests in PDX specifically because of property damage.
This is a wildly inaccurate interpretation of a statement we sent out specifically in order to help remedy repeated inaccuracies and click-bait-reporting from mainstream journalists covering protest activity in Portland this last year! The irony.
From the beginning of the nationwide revolts against police murder this last summer, we have received a huge number of requests and emails from press asking us about our role in ongoing Portland protests. We have explained repeatedly that we are not planning them, or "in charge."
As people grapple with the reality of a violent authoritarian coup attempt directly instigated by US president Donald Trump and his allies, it's important to reflect on the depth to which alt-right & neo-Nazi movements are networked with the GOP.
Mere days after reports surfaced that Rep. Mike Nearman had assisted far-right agitators at the violent 12/21 Patriot Prayer rally at the OR capitol, he spoke at an event in Seaside OR with at least one of those same agitators, as well as infamous alt-right & neo-Nazi organizers.
Ryan Lyles, a member of the violent "Sons Of Liberty" Proud Boys splinter group who was arrested in Salem on 12/21, was in attendance at the Seaside event with Nearman two days ago. katu.com/news/local/man…
Violent Patriot Prayer neo-Nazi David Willis, who was arrested after assaulting people at the OR capitol on 1/6, was also present to hear Rep. Mike Nearman speak on 1/10 in Seaside. rosecityantifa.org/articles/a22/#…
Cody Melby, who opened fire at the federal courthouse in downtown PDX on Friday, is an adherent of the antisemitic, pro-Trump Qanon conspiracy theory. Fantasies about mass extermination of political enemies are central to this belief system.
Melby's twitter account was suspended some months ago, but while it was active he used it to disseminate alt-right memes which appear to have originated in racist 4chan threads.
On twitter, Melby also echoed the anti-antifa smears of far-right propagandists mainstreamed under the auspices of the MAGA movement, and called for violent state suppression of activists who work to oppose neo-Nazis.
