@npub1txm…xp6c truly. the hospitality should be something we all learn from. They say it takes a village, and back home is the only place I’ve seen this be done to in its truest form

Please remember us for more than bombs, destruction and war. Educate yourselves. Learn about Arabs and the Middle East. Learn about our rich culture and history, learn about our food, our desserts, our music, our art. Learn about the talented craftsmen making soap, tapestries, wooden mosaics from the 8th century and breathtaking architecture. Learn about the beautiful and historic churches and mosques. Learn about the nightlife. The extremely lively nightlife that people from all over the world travel to just to party. Our parties. Learn how we party and celebrate. Learn about the beaches and their beauty. The stunning mountains. The serene valleys. The farms. The villages and towns you’ve probably never heard of with the most beautiful humans and traditions. The traditions. Learn about our traditions. Our superstitions. Learn about our people, our community, how we take care of each other and rebuild. Learn about our language. Our beautiful poetic language. Learn about our dancing. Our generational poems sung as mawals at every gathering and concert that inspire hope, resilience and strength. Our resistance. Learn about our resistance.
Learn about us. Don’t let them only show you war, blood and obliteration.

vigil for Lebanon and the lives lost to israel's US funded genocide tomorrow night (Saturday) at peninsula park in NE Portland at 7PM. Flyer says “bring candles, flowers, and anything else you'd like to leave”

This is where I used to live. It has been turned to dust. The area some of my family fled to started getting attacked by Israel today. The IOF are not very successful in their ground invasion efforts in Southern Lebanon and facing many losses, but their airstrikes on the rest of the country remain relentless.

For many reasons I do not personally praise hezb or nasrallah, but I will always support the resistance and people defending themselves from their oppressors. And for now, that’s where that conversation needs to end. This isn’t even much of a question to be had to begin with, especially not for people in the west. I feel gross even saying this right now because there are much more pressing issues at hand. But I think it is interesting that most people in the west have such a black and white understanding of things, especially when it comes to the Middle East. It’s either hezb bad, Hamas bad, and condemnation of resistance- or justifying the resistance and holding many of these leaders and groups up on a pedestal and even viewing them as some sort of leftist gods for the most part. ‘Two things can be true’ is a concept I’ve noticed people really struggle understanding in the west.
The reality is that Israel just exponentially multiplied the resistance and the number of people willing to fight back and resist. Probably in Hezbollah, just like they have done with Hamas, but also in general. There are other groups, individuals, and AG’s resisting, and that will continue. As Remi Kanazi said, genociding multiple civilian populations doesn’t “defeat” your enemies, it creates a new generation of people who will resist you.

I still can’t believe they put me in maximum security lmao. It was at capacity, they literally sent someone home to make room for me in maximum security when there was room elsewhere. It’s ok though, they sent the wrong bitch to jail. I left having made so many friends who want to connect when they’re out so they can learn how to get involved in mutual aid and community building 💅

Well… pretty much our entire family in Lebanon has evacuated Beirut and southern Lebanon. In the 80’s, the Lebanese side of our family evacuated and went to Syria where complete strangers were opening their homes to people forced to flee from the war. Welcoming in entire families. Muslims and Christians living together and going to church together to pray. That’s not currently an option though. And no one wants to leave their homeland. It’s only a temporary solution. Sure, where they are is *safer* - but Lebanon is tiny. Nowhere is truly safe. If things stay like this, they will need to figure something else out. Lebanon is running out of resources. Gas, food, medical supplies… pretty much nothing is getting in now.
I know we will prevail. There will be a lot of destruction, inshallah mostly material. That can be rebuilt. It’s already been done 8 times and they can do it again. I know we will prevail.

Everyone has now been released. The second person also without their keffiyeh. When they got arrested the police tried to remove it but the student told them they wear it for religious reasons (it was their hijab). The cops waited until the cameras were no longer on them and removed it off her regardless.

One of the students released requested their keffiyeh back upon release with the rest of their belongings but the cops said they didn't have it.
It's not in property either, the cops just likely stole it or threw it away. I watched both students get in the police cars and they both had their keffiyehs on at the time

Portland police and PSU president Ann Cudd lied about special collections and archives being stolen and destroyed at the library, and according to librarians, that is not the case. I even reported on students encouraging books not be harmed, and making a conscious effort to protect the archives. Their lies and tactics are so transparent. They lie to both discourage community support of protestors and demonize them.

Looks like in addition to all the ties Portland State University has to companies supporting Israel and weapons manufacturers, the board of trustees is also poisoned with Zionists and there are heavy ties to Israel and technology being used to surveil and murder Palestinians. More soon. Still going down the rabbit hole but this information is actually insane.

Students at PSU have pushed back the cops and forced them to retreat into this building. The fencing put up around the library has been successfully taken down just now.

Cops pushed again. As I was filming the police push, cops shoved us very aggressively. I fell to the ground. Before I could get up they pushed more people who fell on top of me. I was helped up and turned around and saw a cop punching a Black man in the face repeatedly, at least 4 strikes to the dome. After that they pushed us again and there was someone in wheelchair and the cops flipped them over in it (that part not shown in video)

Story time….
At the counter demo today I was peeling an orange to eat and a Christian revivalist came up to me, grabbed my forearm, and proceeded to tell me that what I was doing was extremely vulnerable. She said that as I was peeling the orange I was removing the skin and exposing what’s inside of it. The tone of which she said this to me really made it hit.
That’s it. That’s the story.

Welp, now I *have* to watch the new civil war movie… Andy Ngo is credited for providing footage that was used in the movie. He’s stolen hours upon hours of my work and reshared it as his own. If he’s done the same to you I recommend you doing the same and taking it up with A24 if your footage is featured in the movie. We all know he doesn’t do any filming himself, he’s only good at stealing peoples content and lying about the context.
If you plan on watching this I recommend not paying any money to do so.

Community members in the Bay Area have occupied the US warship USNS Harvey Milk heading to Gaza. There’s a group on the stairs that lead onto the ship and another larger group at the pier. They are attempting to block off access and halt more military support for the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. Reports of around a dozen police on the ground now.

Portland peeps 🚨
There has been a spate of drink dosing across town at numerous different bars recently. GHB has been confirmed in most of these cases and it’s happening all around Portland. Many bartenders are aware of this and working together with other bars to keep people safe. Workers Tap shared that they have been hit twice recently and have been supplying drink covers and test strips.
please be vigilant and look out for each other

Andy’s doxxes often get shared widely on neo-nazi telegram channels, some of which are very large, and almost all are very dangerous. It was after my dox a few years ago that Andy shared that then made its way onto the western chauvinist channel that my place first got broken into and I started receiving threatening phone calls from NSM. I have countless personal stories, and endless stories I’ve heard from friends and community members with similar and worse experiences. Fucking diabolical.

Excuse me, what?
I didn’t realize he was quite literally selling doxxes to his neo-nazi fanbase. Idk if this is legal or not but it sure as hell isn’t ethical. And now we have Elmo dick riding him harder than ever on bird app.

A massive 60x30ft banner was dropped at the Morrison bridge over the river today in Portland, Oregon by an autonomous group. The banner reads “Don’t look away” and “stop the genocide” accompanied by two large Palestinian flags.

Heads up if you’re still on bird app, the new calling and video message feature automatically reveals the IP address of both users. You have to manually turn it off in privacy direct message settings.

One time at a protest a portland cop told two people in bloc running away together “you over there… holding hands! That’s… that’s unlawful!” and I think about it everyday.

While what happened to Aaron Bushnell is heartbreaking, this was by no means a somber vigil. There were sad moments, but the energy was high as at least 6 speakers who were all veterans used their time to remember Aaron Bushnell and empower the crowd to act. Encouraging people to not imitate Aaron Bushnell, but be inspired by his courage- with an added emphasis on active duty military to act in defiance against the genocide.

Aaron Bushnell was 25 years old. It is now confirmed that he has succumbed to his injuries.
Self immolation has to be the most desperate form of protest there is. Lighting yourself on fire so your cries for change can finally be heard. This is so heartbreaking. Friends of Aaron Bushnell shared how he used to feed houseless people in San Antonio, and the now-deleted twitch channel where he live-streamed his actions today seem to point to him being an anarchist. I don’t knew for certain, but his profile photo was of a circle A/anarchy A, and his user name had “AnarKitty” in it.
Rest in Power 🖤

A man who introduced himself as an active duty member of the U.S Air Force self immolated today, stating “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and repeatedly yelling “free Palestine” after he ignited himself. This happened outside of the Israeli Embassy in DC.
Of course one of the first things a cop did was draw his gun on him after he had collapsed and was on fire.

VIA an anonymous report back:
last night, anarchists in so-called Portland targeted the Aladdin Theater in response to their platforming Matisyahu, a known zionist. Matisyahu has been vocal in his support of the fascist ethnostate of Israel for years, and we find it unacceptable that he should be given a stage on which to perform - so we threw paint all over their marquee and knocked down some letters and we had a lot of fun doing it. it is our hope that these actions will prompt the Aladdin Theater to follow several other venues around the country in canceling Matisyahu's show, which is currently scheduled for Monday, February 26 at 7pm... according to Aladdin's website, this show is sold out! who knew there were so many supporters of zionism (and terrible music) in this city?
Portland - are we going to let another fascist perform here, or have we had enough? FREE GAZA. FREE THE WEST BANK.
FREE PALESTINE. FREE THEM ALL.

Just shared 20 photos and a few paragraphs about my time in Eagle Pass and Quemado, Texas on my patreon. The paragraphs are a small, unorganized taste of the full article which will be out soon and available to everyone. Thank you for supporting my work and making it possible for me to continue to be on the ground.

Via event organizers on bird app: Tomorrow we celebrate another summer in Portland without a far-right rally…
This has been made possible not by gangs such as PPB, who close city-bridges & roll out the carpet to far-right groups to march into town, but by the thankless work put in by everyday antifascists. The trauma still held by many hasn't been for nothing.
