What do you want to bet @baerialist sent those screenshots saying I agreed to coffee to NoBonzo?

I know a lot of the people who follow me are sick of this shit. There's an idea that if I don't give it air it'll go away.

I am also sick of this shit, and truly I am done addressing it publicly after this. Clearly it will never go away, because people are making sure it won't
I am leaving Portland very soon. It doesn't really matter any longer what this community believes I am or am not

But you might want to take notes on what's happening here, because I'm not the first person, nor will I be the last

Consider sharing. People should know

As you may have noticed, I am no longer covering on-the-ground lefty events in Portland

The Portland left has made it clear that press is unwelcome generally

Also, I have been fashjacketed and do not feel safe, especially after what happened to @PDocumentarians
I'm perfectly willing to risk my personal safety against the police or the far right, as my record shows

I'm not willing to risk it by attending left-wing protests where my presence is now seen as exploitative or menacing

This should be good news for all who see it that way
If you follow this account for the live-tweets, you'll have to wait until I move to NYC for any chance of that happening again (65 days)

If you follow it for the writing and/or analysis and/or videos and/or weirdness, good news: all that shit's here to stay forever

This is a take that's going to upset people but it's a conversation we need to have so here goes:
Not-Black people should always, ALWAYS be quiet and listen to Black voices when it comes to the experience of being Black, lived oppression, the kinds of solutions that can move us forward into a more equitable world, what Black communities need to thrive, etc.
The fact that only Black people know what it is to be Black in America, and that we should listen without speaking on that subject, does NOT mean Black people are omniscient in every area of activism or life and should never be questioned

Thinking otherwise is a form of racism

Reactivating briefly to say some stuff

1) Fuck police forever. If you're scared of air fresheners and can't tell a taser from a gun maybe you shouldn't be allowed outside unsupervised

I wrote a brief substack about it, that's right I have a substack now

2) I just appeared on the latest No Easy Answers podcast (@NoEasyAnswerPod) with the esteemed @realjulestaylor. We talk about the far right, mostly why are they and what can we do about it?

It was really fun to make, hopefully you enjoy it too

Having expressed these thoughts, I shall now flee into the woods for a week of camping and not having Internet

Meanwhile you can find my hot takes on Substack (laurajedeed.substack.com)

What do you do, at the end of it all?

When the last chants of "we do this every night" fade out?

When the rains come and nothing's really changed except for you and everyone you know?
What do you do when you've run on adrenaline for so long that you can't remember how to cook food or work out or whatever normal stuff you used to do before the fires, before the feds, before the chanting of the names?

When normalcy feels like a betrayal, a broken promise?
What do you do when you give a cause your all, shed blood for it, drip sweat and tears and trauma, and it doesn't succeed?

What next, when you swore you'd never stop fighting and then the fighting stops?

Hi there, I just got back from the District Courthouse, where @JuniperLSimonis documented the uncomfortable number of spent toxic crowd control munitions lying around behind the fence The district courthouse fen...
Some background:

The District Courthouse fence, erected during the Fed War in July, is coming down

A chunk of the concrete barricades supporting the fence have been removed

Last night, Dr. Simonis and others (including @AlissaAzar) noticed a rather prodigious number of...this A corroded canister in the ...Two small round silver cani...A severely corroded silver-...A small grey silver object ...
You may notice that the munitions are corroded

That, Dr Simonis explains, is because the chemicals still within and around the munitions have continued to react. As water flows over the munitions--as it has done all winter--the chlorates react with the metal A profoundly rusted metal c...
