.@killendave & I are on the interstate tracking a caravan of Trump supporters who are headed to Salem. The gathering before takeoff had the feel of a revival Here in front of the capital in Salem, just overheard someone talking about having the governor executed “right here on the capital steps”

Across the street from the capital there are counter demonstrators

That all said—and that’s a lot—the atmosphere is pretty low key rn

It’s the 81st night of protest here in Portland & I am at the Justice Center, where a car full of women who drove here from Florida & Tennessee to preach the gospel just tried to save my mortal soul 🙏 To which I say: good luck, nice ladies! #PortlandProtests

Just remembered I have this very handy definitely made-as-a-joke t-shirt to wear tonight will def tape off the whole after dark thing but you saw it here first Cops are a somewhat forbidding presence here at East Precinct. LRAD already warning anyone entering property will be subject to arrest, use of force, munitions. They're asking "peaceful protesters" to leave the area.
Abt 200 here, no one is leaving

1/ When Tania Culver Humphrey came to @Oregonian to share her story of serial sexual abuse by her father, Mercy Corps co-founder Ellsworth Culver, I remember her being so terrified that day, she refused to use the news organization’s front entrance. @Oregonian Ten months later, we - @noellecrombie, @sfkale, @killendave and I - present the results of our investigation into Tania’s story.
