On Monday, 3 conservative activists in Portland (including Japanese-American evangelist Joey Gibson) are on trial. DA Schmidt accuses them of felony rioting for allegedly instigating a brawl at the Cider Riot pub in 2019 that was hosting Rose City Antifa.
In 2021, right-wing activist Ian Kramer was given 20-month prison sentence for knocking #Antifa member Heather Clark out after she rushed in to fight. Antifa & press said her neck was broken but her medical record showed no fracture/traumatic abnormality.
Photographs of Portland #Antifa member Ashley Heather Clark & the moment she rushed in to brawl before being hit with a stick & getting knocked out. Cider Riot manager Breanne Gearheart told state investigators she wasn't aware of anyone calling for medical assistance that day. ImageImageImage
The Rose City Antifa event at Cider Riot in May 2019 was first time I was injured while reporting on #Antifa. A wanted suspect from the pub rushed at me & sprayed my face with bear mace to disable me from documenting their violence (PPB case 19-141701).
A student journalist from Oregon State covering the Rose City Antifa event like me was beaten & had his camera destroyed. To date, no one from the violent #Antifa side at Cider Riot was arrested by
@PortlandPolice for their documented assaults:
Soon after the riot, Cider Riot shut down. I did a deep investigation that revealed the extent to which the business mislead state investigators to cover its tracks. It deleted CCTV video & the owner/staff provided false statements to investigators. thepostmillennial.com/shocking-truth…
The Oregonian also published a report on Cider Riot that exposed how the #Antifa pub had allowed its patrons to use "illegal weapons" & lied to state regulators. Maybe this is why the pub so quickly shut down? @repblumenauer was a supporter of the pub. oregonlive.com/news/2019/09/p…
@repblumenauer As revenge for my coverage on Cider Riot in 2019, #Antifa worked with their accomplices in the press to concoct a lie that I was part of the violent attack on them. Reason magazine independently investigated the shocking claims & found them to be false. reason.com/2019/09/03/and…
I also see that Antifa members have been desperately trying to find out who the jurors are in the trial of conservative activists Joey Gibson, Russell Schulz & MacKenzie Lewis. (@MultCoDA charged them w/felony rioting not for actually rioting but allegedly instigating a brawl.)
Read thread to see reporting from the trial in Portland today. Mike Schmidt’s office charged three conservative activists with felony rioting not for actually rioting but instead for allegedly instigating a riot against Rose City Antifa:
Flashback: At the riot outside the Antifa pub in Portland (Cider Riot) in May 2019, an Antifa person fighting with a guitar got punched in the face.
Breaking: The judge in the Cider Riot #antifa case in Portland has dismissed the felony cases against conservative activists Joey Gibson & Russell Schultz. Mike Schmidt's prosecutors failed to demonstrate they engaged in tumultuous & violent conduct with a group (felony rioting). ImageImage
A jury however will decide to convict or acquit the remaining defendant MacKenzie Lewis on the felony riot charge. Prosecutors allege he instigated a brawl against Rose City Antifa members outside the now-shuttered Cider Riot pub. (The pub was found to have misled investigators)
During the jury selection for the Cider Riot antifa case, Portland antifa accounts appear to suggest that their supporters should lie during jury selection. Antifa call themselves anti-state but they will work with the state to prosecute shared enemies. archive.ph/y1vfJ ImageImage
Joey Gibson's attorney, Angus Lee, gave reaction to @hunnybadgermom after his client's felony riot case was dismissed at trial. Mike Schmidt's office sought to heavily prosecute Gibson for political reasons due to Gibson's pro-Trump rallies in Portland.
Breaking: Conservative Japanese-American activist Joey Gibson (@PatriotPrayerUS) has given first comments after Judge B. Souede granted a motion to have his felony case dismissed during the trial. Prosecutors worked w/Antifa witnesses to prosecute Gibson.
Breaking: The third Portland conservative defendant in the Cider Riot case, Mackenzie Lewis, has been found GUILTY of felony rioting against Rose City #Antifa by a jury. Co-defendants Joey Gibson & Russell Schultz were ACQUITTED by the judge yesterday. ImageImageImage
Portland conservative activist Mackenzie Lewis (wearing helmet) was found guilty of felony rioting against Rose City Antifa by a jury. Here is the May 1, 2019 video in which the jury found he committed felony rioting by pushing violent Antifa member Cary Canary/David Chaltraw.
The Rose City #Antifa member who was spitting and hitting in the video prior is Cary Cary Cary Canary/David A. Chaltraw. The trans militant was never arrested by police & neither were her comrades for assaulting me & other journalists in May 2019:
.@hunnybadgermom published a statement received from Mackenzie Lewis, the conservative activist who was found guilty by a Portland jury of felony rioting against Rose City #Antifa at the Cider Riot pub in May 2019. His public defender fell asleep & snored at the trial. ImageImage

Breaking: Two people have just been shot by Border Patrol during an immigration operation in Portland, Ore. Anti-ICE accounts have circulated screenshots alleging that a 911 dispatcher leaked to them information about a call for police assistance.

The call log also shows a 911 call from Border Patrol stated that a husband and wife who were shot almost ran the agent(s) over. ABC News is reporting that the shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue.Image
Developing information about the DHS-involved shooting in Portland, Ore. of a man and woman.

Around 2:18 p.m., Portland Police were alerted to a call by a man who said he was shot. The man drove from a medical center parking lot, where the shooting occurred, to 146th and East Burnside. Police responded and called for first responders, who took the two injured to a hospital.

A 911 call log shows Border Patrol called police and reported that the couple attempted to run over the agents. That information isn't being reported by the media or leftist activists who are agitating violence.
Portland @MayorKWilson has released a statement about the Border Patrol-involved shooting in Portland. A man and woman reported being shot after fleeing from a scene. A 911 call log shows Border Patrol reported being nearly run over by a pickup truck when they fired rounds. The mayor refers to only the injured as "victims." He urges Portlanders to "show up with calm and purpose."Image

Minneapolis (Jan. 7) — I have identified the leftist radical instructing her comrades to physically obstruct a federal courthouse. She is a lawyer (ID 0397165) named Brenna O'Connor (née Rahmlow) who works in the Hennepin County Public Defender's office.
Brenna Snow Rahmlow, the Minnesota lawyer who tried to organize rioters to surround and obstruct the federal courthouse on Jan. 7, 2026, was arrested in 2019 in Ramsey County, Minn. on accusation of driving under the influence. Image

Wow. In Oregon’s emergency lawsuit to prevent the President from sending troops to protect federal property, a disturbing email from @PortlandPolice Sergeant Andrew Braun (badge #56961) was included. In it, Braun blames the victims of Antifa violence for their own assaults and attacks.

Braun claims that journalist @KatieDaviscourt, citizen journalist @hunnybadgermom and conservative activist @RheinDAmacher are somehow responsible for being attacked by “protesters.” He falsely labels Daviscourt and Chelly Boufferache as “counter-protesters” and accuses them of trespassing on federal property. In reality, these journalists stay near or on federal property because when they're on public streets in Portland, the Portland Police will not bother to investigate if they are assaulted or robbed.

Sgt. Braun is essentially parroting Antifa talking points, which justify violence against those they deem unwelcome in public areas they lay claim to. Antifa regularly argues that anyone they label as an “antagonizer” (i.e., press) is fair game for violent retaliation. This leadership mindset or policy helps explain why Portland Police have systematically failed to protect conservatives from being beaten or robbed by Antifa and the violent far-left over the years. ngocomment.comImage

An Oakland Antifa trans nonbinary militant who operated an extremist anarcho-communist (Antifa's ideology) blog has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison for six domestic terrorist attacks. It is the longest sentence for an Antifa militant to date.

Casey Robert Goonan ("they/them"), who has a Ph.D. in black studies, pleaded guilty to using homemade explosive devices in June 2024 to destroy a @UCPD_Cal police vehicle on campus and to attempt to firebomb the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Oakland. He also admitted to carrying out three arson attacks on the UC Berkeley campus.

Goonan admitted he was inspired by the Hamas direct action terror attacks of Oct. 7 and that he hoped his violence would inspire others to carry out further attacks "for Palestine."

Antifa and far-left militants are calling him a "political prisoner" and are demanding his immediate release.

The mainstream media reporting is not writing about his anarcho-communist violent extremism and is making it sound like he merely did vandalism on a car.Image

Here is the manifesto and claim of responsibility of the Oakland Antifa trans nonbinary militant, Casey Robert Goonan, who was just sentenced to over 19 years in federal prison for carrying out multiple bombing and arson attacks in the Bay Area. The attacks were done "for Palestine," the latest in a string of violent and deadly attacks in the U.S. where Palestine is invoked.

Goonan has a Ph.D. in black studies from Northwestern University. His lawyer asked for a light sentence, arguing that his client is bipolar and diabetic. Goonan's Antifa and far-left supporters showed up to the sentencing to express support for what he did.Image

On May 28, 2021, I ran for my life through the streets of downtown Portland, Ore.

Antifa had discovered me working undercover after one of their members, John Hacker, exposed me to the mob.

I screamed for help as I fled, but drivers and pedestrians looked away. The businesses were all shuttered, remnants of the ongoing destruction from the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

They caught me. Antifa tackled me to the ground, tearing my knee tendon in the process as I slid across the pavement. They punched me over and over and tried to choke me out. I barely managed to stumble into @theNinesHotel, begging the staff to call 911. Instead, they tried to force me back outside and told me to wear a Covid mask. I dropped to the floor, refusing to move, pleading for them to call the police. They refused.

Outside, Antifa gathered. One of their ringleaders, Elizabeth Richter — the blonde woman — began rallying the crowd. She called on others on a livestream to come finish me off. She went inside the hotel and threatened me. Antifa also tried breaking their way into the hotel.

I escaped only by jumping into an elevator with a hotel guest. After that, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a police guard. I was soaked in my blood. On social media, Antifa immediately began trying to track which hospital I was in, hoping to finish the job.

As soon as I was discharged, I had to flee Portland. I moved between safe houses in different states. Antifa’s hunt for me was far from over.

@PortlandPolice closed the case a few weeks afterward, saying they couldn’t identify anyone. Nobody was ever arrested, just like in 2019 when I was beaten to the point that my brain bled.

What happened afterward? In 2023, at a civil trial in Portland, I sued John Hacker and Elizabeth Richter, two Antifa militants involved in that mob attack in the video above. A liberal judge allowed the defense's objection to the damning Twitter DMs between the two on the night of the attack from being shown to jurors. The trial was marred by multiple security threats that resulted in jurors being rushed out for safety reasons.

Hacker's lawyer told the jurors in the closing statement that she was Antifa and, “I'm going to remember every one of your faces when you leave here.” They rendered a not liable verdict for both.

Dustin Ferreira, the man in the wheelchair inciting the mob to try to break into the hotel to attack me, was given a $400,000 settlement last year by Portland for being arrested at a riot. ngocomment.com/p/inside-the-a…Image
