I'd like to think this is a parody account but there's an "apology" posted to this Dizzy Dean's Donuts' Instagram page.

Some of the replies are out of this world. A screenshot of what appear... I'm not sure what's going on with this alternate universe but there's an awful lot of non-Black individuals using the n-word and claiming to be spokespeople for the Black community in the replies 😳😳 A screenshot of one of the ...One commenter writes "...

The ACLU of Oregon has released an alarming Call to Action regarding proposed accountability standards for cops within the state and how the process is being co-opted by law enforcement themselves.

Well I'm here at the corner of Garfield and 9th Place where houseless residents living in trailers were threatened early last night and told they would towed this morning.

Stop The Sweeps is here to aid. I was here earlier this morning, too, when folks actually thought something was going to happen. Nothing did.

But now, at 9:45 a.m., EPD is present talking with one of the people here. Folks have been told they have until Monday before they'll be ticketed and forced to leave.

Small group of pro-reproductive rights protesters in front of the Federal Courthouse right now. Well, I am back at the Federal Courthouse where several dozen people have gathered since I was last here.

There's a tent on the stairs leading up to the building and speeches from what I can see across the street.

Heyo,

It's been a while.

I'm walking up to Tykeson Hall at UO for this teach-in about the CIA since they are, apparently, recruiting on campus this week. There is too much text for Twitter, so, a recap: A black a Notably, I just learned today that the university's Center for Cyber Security and Privacy is sponsored by both the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security 😬

Well, I am here at the Emerald Valley Golf Club for Turning Point USA's event.

I went in and was told that because we did not receive an email back regarding press passes that we cannot enter.

Fortunately, I am a University of Oregon student and, so, I may be able to get in. A group of Proud Boys just walked into the building.

Along with anti-vaxx graffiti on the University of Oregon campus, there are also homemade stickers being spotted around town.

These were in front of Tacovore and sent in by @AutumnCryptid ⤵️ The first sticker shows what looks to be a needle with a skull and crossbones inside, what I think is WIFI signals, an hourglass, and, finally, a skull that signifies death (but looks kinda like The Punisher doesn't it?) The white sticker with blac...

Wow. So, I was sent a video posted by Director_Geff on @iFunny that appears to show him, the OP, vandalizing Jermelle Madison Jr's memorial. He even goes further and confesses that he also spray-painted the swastika. A screenshot of the video's page on iFunny shows the video d

Well, I'm in Springfield at Peace Health Riverbend for what appears to be a "medical freedom" rally. The people here are protesting the vaccine mandate for Healthcare workers. It appears that there are 60+ people here. Many are waving flags and holding signs that say things such as "plandemic."

I'm back at Premiere Property Management where activists with Eugene HAND are back to try and speak with someone about their demands since the entire business packed up and left last time. Now that it's clear that nobody is coming out or even answering the door, the crowd has gathered in front.

This sign saying open by appointment only was not here last time. The front door of Premiere Propert Management has a sign tha

Currently at the JC.

Checking out the paint rn.

New boards have been put up since Thursday. Two women are heckling "Antifa" across the street in front of a houseless encampment.

"All I want is for you to leave J Street alone."

I think I heard the street right? Idk. They're heckling everyone that walks by.
