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.
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).
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
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.
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.

BREAKING — Ngo Comment report: Verdict reached in the first-ever federal Antifa terrorism trial over the Texas ICE ambush where an officer was shot in the neck. All cell members have been CONVICTED. Antifa supporters had threatened witnesses during the trial. ngocomment.com/p/all-members-…
They’re looking at potentially decades in federal prison. Read my report.
Antifa associates are threatening and promising violence in reaction to nine of their Texas comrades being convicted at the first-ever Antifa federal terrorism trial. ngocomment.com/p/all-members-…
The historic first federal Antifa terrorism trial is happening this week in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s received almost no national media attention. Members of a North Texas Antifa cell are accused of a shooting ambush attack on an ICE facility. Seven have already pleaded guilty & admitted they organize behind an Antifa ideology. Last week, one of the leftist defense attorneys caused a mistrial. ngocomment.com/p/leftist-lawy…
Uh oh: The prosecution confirmed today that five of the North Texas Antifa terror cell co-defendants who pleaded guilty will be joining the prosecution to testify against their former comrades in the historic Antifa terrorism federal trial. Antifa associates are already making threats to beat or kill the witnesses.
Those who pleaded guilty admitted they were engaging in terrorism and that they adhered to an Antifa ideology and organized into a cell, or "affinity group," as they call it. ngocomment.com/p/first-antifa…
Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross was the first witness to testify at the trial for nine defendants in the historic first Antifa federal terrorism trial in Fort Worth, Texas.
Lt. Gross was shot in the neck and required stitches. Luckily, the bullet didn't strike his spine or vital organ and he made a recovery. Antifa and their left-wing propagandists have spread lies since the ambush attack that the injuries were faked to frame them for a peaceful "noise demonstration." Authorities recovered multiple rifles and weapons when the suspects were arrested.
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.
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."
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.
In November 2021, Brenna Snow Rahmlow, the Minnesota lawyer who tried to organize rioters to surround and obstruct a Minneapolis federal courthouse, was suspended from the practice of law after she ignored an order to appear at the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
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.com

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.
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.
Convicted domestic terrorist and violent trans Antifa militant, Casey Goonan, was involved in a hammer attack on a women's rights conference in San Francisco. He wore the Antifa black bloc uniform and hid his face, but was arrested:
