Just a reminder that these now convicted seditious conspirators were handed propaganda victories and impunity by the Portland Police time and time again. Picture of the Proud Boys—T... And that’s not by accident! wweek.com/news/courts/20…

Fagan’s resignation reminds me: I don’t think I’ve ever told my Kitzhaber resignation story on here. I was there when Kitz told Brown he was resigning. Well not *there* there, but down the hallway doing karaoke at my friend’s party. My friend got a new job and was leaving his shared office space in downtown Portland, which happened to be next door to a fateful conference room. He got a karaoke rig set up in the old office space. Went to the bathroom and bumped into a shocked Kate Brown, flanked by guards.

I see the east coast parachute reporters have done it again, so time to dust off this meme, since folks seem easily convinced by convenient and wrong narratives pushed out by the police bureau and realtors. People want “white anarchists” to be the real problem because if BIPOC protesters were so fed up with white supremacy in Portland that they’d break a window, that might say something about them, the white business owner holding up white supremacy.

Ever read the case that birthed Qualified Immunity? Surprise! It was invented in 1967 to protect racist cops who arrested Freedom Riders for sitting in the "Whites Only" waiting room at a bus terminal in Jackson, Mississippi.

courtlistener.com/opinion/107411… Surprise! The cops claimed they weren't racist. "[T]hey claimed and attempted to prove that they did not arrest the ministers for the purpose of preserving the custom of segregation in Mississippi, but solely for the purpose of preventing violence.

The statute of limitations on this has run, right? Okay good. Because I always wanted to talk about how the cop standing over me here tried to plant fireworks on me. Image Lived with a lot of paranoia, anxiety, and exhaustion after this. Ofc. Curtiss tried to "explain" that the law applied to us Observers too (no explanation as to what law I broke). He didn't take kindly to me not thanking him for the lecture and for using my right to silence.
