Thread: FYI, with all the federal deputizations and fed activity in Portland you really should request your own FBI file. It’s very easy. It’s said 1/3 Americans have a file. Just fill out this form: fbi.gov/file-repositor…

Then send an email requesting “any and all records, documents, or communications prepared or maintained by the FBI pertaining to myself or my activities.” Make sure to include all your contact information. There may be a $20 fee, indicate in your email if you can pay that.

Attach the first document and your email and send to foiparequest@ic.fbi.gov

Also, none of this is legal advice and is not meant to be legal advice. I do not represent you in any way and if you need legal help please contact a lawyer.

Also if anyone is curious I last got mine a few years ago and it was mostly false information about where I lived and the rest was classified. It took almost a year for me but should be quick for you.

Oh also, use an address you will be able to access for sure even if it takes a year. So a PO Box or parents address - something permanent. They will likely mail it to you in a packet and if it takes a year and you’ve moved then you are screwed and have to start all over.

Oh and yes, it’s sketch to just send the FBI your info I know. Not awesome. But they know more about you than you think already and this is the only way to find out. I don’t wanna seem like the idiot saying “send the FBI your info” but honestly the FBI has your info already.

You would be amazed what I can tell you about you just based on the tools of politics.

Anyways, lemme know if you have questions. Make sure you fill the form out correctly and sign it with a pen and attach to your request!

Shit this should be obvious but use a VPN (always) and maybe don’t use your personal email but a secure server just for this purpose. I forgot some might not be doing this normally. Always use a VPN especially when/if emailing these guys.

Don’t do an electronic signature.

I’ve learned so much from my work with journalists mostly as a source that I think I have a simple quick fix to some of the issues around reporting on police violence:

- The crime reporter should never also report on policing policy, police shooting people, or police unions.

The crime beat is 90% basic stuff where you can reprint what they say and your #1 source had to be the police. You cannot lose your relationship with your best and often only source and thus reporters (who are good) are put in this horrible position of ruining their source.

Most of the stuff they get is about DUI’s or crashes and shit like that and if they get shut out, they lose the jump on their beat.

Wtf is a protest clout chaser and how white do you have to be to think any amount of Twitter followers is worth the death threats, cyber bullying, home attacks, police abuse, etc?

Clout must be worth billions if anyone is out here chasing protest likes for all the consequences.

Y’all think this shit is fun? You think I got rich off some likes? You think I got a few cool pictures without endless thankless work? Fuck off.

Ya I don’t believe in a protest clout chaser really and if they exist, they learn quick that it wasn’t worth it.

I can’t protest anymore. The police won. And that defeat hurts so much, I feel like I failed. I went from the fearless kid at the front with a megaphone to the thought of a flash bang keeping me up. All that time in jail, batons, watching my friends bleed, the chaos and screams.

Protesting, leading, being vocal - especially while Black in Portland is a thankless job. You have people accusing you of profiting, building a career, or even worse. As if this route was a good route for any of this. I coulda left law school and became a rich attorney. I didn’t.

People treat skills as liabilities and some liabilities as evidence of oppression rather than working to incorporate all intersections. And that’s what the cops wanted. They built me up, at the age of 22. Primed me for my own to beat me down. And beat down I am.

Cops just banged on my door. Kat opened and they separated us, we had been home for roughly 15 min.

We got home with me, Kat Stoke, Journey, Dog, Food. I walk in to put food and dog inside so each of us can grab a kid. But all of the sinks are running in our house.

I ran outside and yelled at Kat “get back in the car” she said “what?” I said “Get the kids get back in the car and look up the cameras, now. Don’t ask questions.”

Then I went to my car, popped my trunk for some tools and swept my house.

We have a stalker who has a previous instance of stalking people by turning on the water so I was sure it was him. But the police assured me he isn’t the one who called. They also said I shoved Kat to end tee the home first. I could have been killed.

There is a lot of discussions nationally and locally about the tactics and strategy of Portland protesters. As someone who has led protests in the streets of Portland and also attended many in this current movement, I have some thoughts I want to share. (thread)

1. Vandalism and violence are different things. This should go without saying but the vast majority of Portlanders and protesters, including myself, do not engage in any political violence or vandalism even at the events that end in destruction.

2. Many of these events are escalated drastically by police and entire crowds are punished for the actions of individuals. We do not police any other crimes in this way. Also, vandalism and violence are already illegal and carry penalties.

I have no idea who the foo fighters are.

I’m sorry if this offended you but I’m dead serious. Idk if it’s a band or a person. I don’t know anything. How would I? Where does one learn all this? I asked my groomsmen they don’t know either.

So this made me think, my dad is a musician and loves music and always is playing music. It just know hit me that I can’t think of a single white artist he ever played. It was all like the temptations, and four tops, or Motown stuff, Sam Cooke.
