🧵 "Where are we now? From Black Lives Matter uprising to tough-on-crime backlash, and what's happening in Portland."
A timeline:
1960s: Civil Rights Movement
1960s-1970s: Tough-on-crime rhetoric & declaration of War on Drugs
1970s: Onset of mass incarceration and drastic increase in policing
2013-2020: Black Lives Matter Uprising
Now: Increased tough-on-crime rhetoric & policies
Shortly after the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, widespread tough-on-crime narratives rolled in the creation of the New Jim Crow- mass incarceration.

THREAD: We're representing 4 clients who filed a lawsuit today suing Proud Boys over assaults, battery etc. at rallies last month. For 2 weekends, the Proud Boys descended on Portland, sowing chaos, shooting at passers-by, and lobbing explosives. They're returning tomorrow.
Timing is not a coincidence. This suit is intended to deter the defendants from returning to our city to cause more harm and distress. The Proud Boys have a longstanding history & acknowledged strategy of using violence to intimidate & harm those who stand against fascism.
The lawsuit names 3 prominent figures associated with the Proud Boys: Alan Swinney of Texas, Corey Wyatt of Eugene, Ore., and David Willis of Lincoln Co, Ore. The lawsuit is also against certain presently unknown individuals.
