Breaking: Hamas supporter and violent Portland Antifa member Alissa Eleanor Azar @AlissaAzar was arrested at the May 2 police response to the @Portland_State siege of the library and the riot on campus. (Photo below from another riot arrest in 2021.)
Most of those involved were not students. Many were part of the 2020 riots and some are confirmed Antifa members. The library is severely damaged inside as the far-left extremists smashed up the place and stole rare books. Outside, rioters assaulted police, journalists and the public.
Azar, who has an upcoming felony riot trial in Clackamas County, was quickly released without bail in Portland. She identifies as a journalist and has been repeatedly charged with violent felonies in Multnomah County in cases that are dropped by @DAMikeSchmidt.archive.is/ObfR3
Extremely violent Portland Antifa member and former fugitive Jarrid Bailey Huber, who has been repeatedly arrested at riots and was convicted of felony arson, was arrested again on May 2 while serving probation in a sweetheart deal by @DAMikeSchmidt.

Violent Portland Antifa member and Hamas fan girl Alissa Azar is at the small CHAZ-style encampment at @Portland_State University. She has an upcoming felony riot trial in Clackamas County for her role in a 2021 attack on a woman at a park. ngolocals.com
One of the main accounts that helped organize the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots is now calling for militants to descend on @Portland_State to help grow the CHAZ-style encampment there. @RisingPDX is run by Danialle James, who is not a student at PSU.
At the request of the @Portland_State administration, the “Camp Palestine” occupiers were evicted by police in the middle of the night. Most of them are not students at PSU. Antifa have been organizing on X, telling their militant comrades to flood the campus.
One of the far-left lead student organizers at the @Columbia University encampment for Gaza recorded a livestream saying that "zionists, along with all white supremacists," need to be killed. Khymani James (pronouns "he/she/they") says the public should be thankful he has not gone out to murder them yet. James has been interviewed and quoted in media for his role in leading the CHAZ-style occupation. ngolocals.com
Far-left extremist and antifa activist Khymani James is one of the student organizers of the @Columbia University occupation for CHAZ. He is threatening to mass kill "zionists, white supremacists, Nazis and fascists" if he is provoked further.
The lessons learned from the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots are being used in the current CHAZ-style occupations for Palestine by far-left extremists at @Columbia, @Yale & @UMich. For example, they're using @Venmo, @gofundme, @givebutter to raise unaccountable cash donations for supplies, bail, legal support and who knows what else. Meanwhile, supporters of the occupations are expressing open support for Hamas terrorism on counter-protesters as well as on civilians in Israel.
Fundraising platform @givebutter blocks me after I report about them being used frequently by far-left extremists for unaccountable campaigns.
At the @UMich far-left extremist CHAZ-style occupation for Palestine, the militants are distributing extremist texts. Pamphlets and booklets serve as one of the main ways for Antifa and far-left extremists to spread propaganda, radicalize people and attract potential new recruits. The texts at the U Mich occupation call for terrorism and the destruction of America and Israel. Photos by Josh Brown.
