If it isn't something like this... it's your typical everyday grift and people who wax and wane hoping you've forgotten who they are.

NEW from DSM: Today, the FBI released three Wanted posters for individuals who attended the Jan. 30 protest at the Old Federal Building.
In doing so, the government's sequence of events has changed and now ommits any mention of an alleged "breach" of the building.

Independent journalists across Lane County — including Robert, whose photos Double Sided Media often publishes — report that they've been visited by the FBI in recent days, seeking identification of individuals from the anti-ICE protest at the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR on Jan. 30.
Today, DHS has escalated its response to protesters in #EugeneOR.
I have received further reports that tear gas was deployed within the past hour.

As less-lethal usage ramps up, I feel it's necessary to make the distinction between green smoke-emitting HC gas (which can be lethal) and more commonly used "Pocket Tactical Green Smoke."

I need to do this with Anarchy
"As a free press remains under attack at the federal level, Ryan's comments are a stark warning that efforts to chill a free press are a threat to democracy anywhere."
Right as I was leaving and my phone was nearly dead a group of far right extremists, including the livestreamer Tommi from ICE, showed up to counter-protest and harass the crowd. The crowd responded by starting their march and the far right crowd followed. I left after this part.
A sign which reads "no trump, no troops, no war"
A sign which read "usa addicted to war"
The crowd has announced they are marching to 10th and Burnside near Powell's bookstore to also demonstrate. My phone is low on power and I need to grab lunch. I leave you with this photos of some of the signage from the protest.
Lol, I can see myself in this photo. All black outfit sitting across from the crowd.
Im in downtown Portland, Oregon at Pioneer Square where a protest has started against the recent news that the Trump Administration kidnapped Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro, and brought him back to the US.
NEW from me & LCRW: I tried contacting Netflix no less than seven times regarding a PNW livestreamer's use of its name, logo, and theme music for Proud Boys propaganda.
Netflix never responded.
Other orgs and experts I talked to ignored me or wouldn't touch the subject.
Read about it ⤵️
One of the many right-wing streamers that has been shooting propaganda at #PortlandOR ICE is now openly using Netflix's logo and "baddum" introduction in her social media clips.
Seems bad for @netflix.com, no?
After lots of well-guided speculation, we now have proof that far-right propagandists in Portland have been directly coordinating—through at least text message—with ICE agents.
In this case, Chelly got permission from a "Travis D." inside to stand on a half-wall off limits to protesters.
It is egregious that a screening of ANIMAL HOUSE (1978) isn't one of the events celebrating the University of Oregon's Erb Memorial Union's 75th anniversary.
The Daily Emerald couldn't even mention that the comedy film's famous "food fight" scene took place in "the fishbowl" of the EMU 😭
4/4 Then, on Aug. 23, 2024, PPB's photos began to trickle out via an unsurprising source: a thread by Andy Ngo on Twitter.
He posted over a dozen individuals' photos until Oct. 3. The thread remained unupdated until Sept. 21 of this year, when he added one more individual's photos.
3/4 Many of us knew that the broken windows were the perfect excuse for PPB to kettle and do some MASSIVE information gathering—and they did just that.
Nobody *really* knew where the photos were going other than some database PPB likely had/has on activists.
2/4 I watched as countless protesters and members of the press were photographed and let out one by one. Duct tape with their full legal name and birth date was slapped across each person's chest.
The "crime" for which over 100 people, including the press, were detained? A few broken windows.
1/4 March 12, 2021
I, too, was kettled and detained during this protest, but was let out with my credentials, and I went to cover protests that formed outside the perimeter. Several others stayed in and documented from inside.
1/2 Last week, the #EugeneOR City Council unanimously voted to turn off the city's Flock cameras temporarily while they research.
Then, EPD Chief Skinner announced the arrest of seven people in relation to burglaries targeting the Asian community, citing Flock as key in their investigation.

Reporting from the "war-ravaged" city of Portland, Oregon. It's utter devastation.

NEW from LCRW: Things moved fast after Charlie Kirk was murdered. @azrww.bsky.social, the staff & I tried to encapsulate the bizarre first week after his murder in as much minutiae as we could stomach. The end of every graf felt like the most gut-punching absurd kicker I've ever written.
