Alex stopped to help save a gunshot victim from bleeding out, he was then given Saint Paul Police Chiefs Award for Valor. He then gave this small speech.

They're trying to make protesting virtually illegal.

Minnesota proposed legislation says anyone convicted of a crime related to a protest or march will be denied:

Food stamps, rent assistance, loans, student loans, mortgage assistance, grants, medical assistance, etc. A bill, text as follows,  relating to public safety; prohibi (@tristamariemcg found this. I retweeted for adding alt.)

Salem me & my friend see a group of bike cops

"hey you guys look really good"

They wave and say "thank you"

"I'm joking. you look fucking stupid"

then he waits and says "I like your jeans"

I'm not even wearing jeans? Was this their comeback? Was he hitting on me? I'm still laughing because either this was a) their comeback or b) he just really liked me or my friends pants and had to comment.

Hi. Your personal information is most likely online, a lot, and quite easily accessible by violent right wingers. So if you deal with chuds, online or in person, here's a reminder and some where to start tips for locking down your information and keeping yourself safe. Hopefully you're not in a situation where aggressive/violent people are looking for you. But even if you're in really good Bloc and have super anonymous code names it just takes on slip up, mistake or accidently pissing off someone like Andy N*o for that to shift.

Antifa is trending. A reminder antifa means Anti Fascist. As in, fascists = bad. Although many people who consider themselves antifa will be at the same event, they are not part of an organization, or set rules, or get membership cards.

It just means... They're anti fascist. Lots of anti fascists do a lot of different events too. Some the news probably doesn't cover. Portland's local DA's (windows getting smashed) bring out a lot of anti fascists. Those Same people run community events, mutual aid groups, help the homeless, and raise funds.

This is just so incredibly wrong. Antifa showed up to counter protest a right wing event. There was never any attempts or plans to do anything with any of the building.

I feel like some are confused on what happened in Salem.

In simple terms, the numbers of counter protestors forced cops to redirect chud caravan away from Capitol. Some would call it a win.

Here's a bit of a longer explanation on how that went down, to the best of my knowledge: Counter protestors waited for about two hours. In that time random cars would pass, some aggressive towards the crowd, this created a few altercations of broken windows, paint, hitting some cars.

Some altercations were possibly part of caravan who split off, or random ppl.

To anyone trying to get a vaccine; Walgreens is scheduling vaccines. Portland slots are semi hard to find but can be by refreshing. There are slots in Salem open. Next day - they don't ask questions about eligibility you just check a box.

Portland police targeted a journalist in the crowd and removed them by force.

@hungrybowtie got removed by force. Garrison said they did not consent to a photo or information being given. They forced them a block away and let them go. Not a good look for police to be finding journalist and removing them.

They're a credentialed journalist so not guarantee that's how it would go (just getting walked away) if you refused to consent. But either way don't talk to cops is always the best move.

A surprising amount of people have commented on Portland's protest thread tonight some variation of "why are they still protesting?"

Although this is a ridiculous question and can be simply answered in "shit isn't fixed" here's some more reasons Portland's "still" protesting. The homeless are still left to die in the streets. Portland and our mayor recently made plans to shut down a mini home camp due to "budget concerns" meanwhile he's attempting to increase police budget.

Well. Here we are. It's a chilly night in Portland and I'm downtown at the justice center. It's nostalgic Fed War Time, but now there isn't even a fence. It's like June here. Construction workers are still putting up wood as protestors gather in the park. I'll be live here. The federal courthouse stands with some windows still expose God there are just so many exposed windows The courthouse with plywood up on some of the windows but mo

You can not convince me this isn't hilarious and ompletely worth a hedgefund going out of business. A post on WallStreetBets &q...Reddit post on WallStreetBe... A hedgefund looses billions whole random redditors pay for their families surgeries and save their dogs. I mean, come on, that's just great.

By Friday a meme subreddit is literally going to have ran a 13 billion $ hedge fund into the ground. This is just an incredible 2021 event Like Melvin would need a magician to turn this around. Options expire Friday and they're gonna be paying out billions. WAy more than they could be bailed out for. Nature is healing.

Audio of the interaction and you can hear the man very calmly explaining they weren't 6 feet away. Ted & Adams argue back and then pepper spray him as he calmly states

"you just pepper sprayed me"

He was an unarmed & 5'5 taking to two public officials.

Hey whoever got pepper sprayed by ted: if u follow me, My signals in my bio and feel free to drop that video and your side of the story anytime. Total anonymity guaranteed.

We know Ted lies, love a chance for everyone to see both sides of this tale. I'm not saying I Think Ted is lying. Just that we've all caught him lying... A lot. So I don't take anything he says without proof very concretely.
