it’s such a problem now and since October 7th it seems to be that way all across the country. Now there’s groups even setting up ghost chapters with names so people don’t know right away. They do nothing but grift and endanger everyone around them. Part of me wants to go to the rally tomorrow in pdx but the other part of me already knows I’m just gonna get pissed off lol.

According to Al Jazeera the targets of Irans missiles in response to the assassination of Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, and Nilforoshan were two military and one intelligence base in Israel. No casualties have been reported but they definitely weren’t all intercepted. AJ also reporting that the US was assisting to intercept some of these projectiles. Unlike the last time Iran launched at Israel, this round was not announced. Iran is also mocking Israel by using their own words, saying they are “escalating to deescalate.”

Tested positive 😭 I’m legitimately terrified. I have a chronic illness, and I still feel winded rather quickly after getting Covid for the first time last summer which had me out for about two weeks. I’m fairly active and go on intense hikes all the time. The difference in my capabilities is night and day. I don’t feel as awful as I did last time but it’s still not great. Haven’t been able to break this fever.
Woke up with a somewhat scratchy throat yesterday. Thought it was from the wildfires maybe. Slowly got worse. Within an hour of finishing the panel convo last night I started feeling really shitty and by nighttime things drastically escalated.

I was forced to take my mask off when talking to a DHS person for about 20 minutes at the airport. They wouldn’t let me put it back on until they finished swabbing my body for explosive residue. I’m now sick as fuck. Waiting for a Covid test, if it’s positive I’m gonna be so pissed

Also regarding PF marching in Nashville yesterday, an account with almost 600k followers is saying they marched with swastika flags and were sieg heiling. This is objectively false. They were marching with Betsy Ross and confederate flags. You can emphasize how Bad Actually this is without making up lies about the flags they were carrying or things they said. Yes they're Nazis. No they don't need to wave swazi flags to prove this. wtf.
If you wanna talk about swastika flags so bad to boost your engagement talk about blood tribe who also marched in Nashville not 5 months ago who actually were all carrying swastika flags

Was finally able to check in after over an hour.
Soon after I got pulled away by someone with TSA who said I was their "special guest" today. First they took me to the side of TSA and made me remove all of my electronics to prove that they turn on. After this, he took my phone from me and escorted me to a security line that was closed off to everyone else. This was all already so odd that everyone was starting. I went thru one of the detector things twice, then they made me go thru a second one. After that they pulled me aside to do an invasive pat down and then I waited as they inspected all of items one by one and swabbed everything for explosive reside.
someone with DHS came over to me as l waited to chat it up. He was acting like my friend and was even flirting a bit it seemed, and "casually" getting in questions about my plans, where I'm staying, who I'm staying with, if I was alone or not.

antifascists and people on the extremism beat, what’s something you wish the public understood about what is moving into place?

2024-07-02 01:21:14

I don’t really know what to say right now, and I don’t think posting “we told you so” over and over again is helpful, but fuck if it isn’t tempting!
It’s been way too many years of antifascists sounding the alarm and being ignored. Of antifascists fighting back against nazis only to be condemned, demonized, and disproportionately targeted by the State and arrested while they look the other way for white supremacists unleashing violence on our communities and seeking to destroy democracy. People have been ignoring us because their lives have been too convenient and unaffected to care. They’ve been ignoring cries about a fascist police state because they think if they don’t immediately see people in camps then people are just being dramatic. This fascism has been a “slow” burn. I use quotation marks because for some people it has been anything but slow- not everyone has the privilege of living their lives unaffected by the systems of oppression we’re forced to operate in. Not everyone has the privilege of being unaffected by fascism.
What happens when it does finally affect those who refused to see it, but there’s no one left to fight? People need to stop clinging to norms that have long been tossed out by the GOP. The democrats are sure as hell not going to fight for us. It’s on us and only us to build our communities and fight fascism.
Glory to our king or whatever /s.

There’s some very valid criticisms for how the chaostown folks mishandled the safety and protection of the subjects identity in the documentary, but I think it’s also very important to acknowledge how PPB is also targeting these filmmakers as a personal “fuck you.” Earlier today, Portland Police posted a clip from the documentary on their instagram with a song titled “you can’t run, you can’t hide” over it. The documentary got over 500,000 views on YouTube and made the cops look bad. It’s an attempt to shame them and is absolutely politically motivated. A man who removes graffiti as passion project who was featured in the documentary was also profiled by local media and the article was released around the same time the press release came out. I don’t have any proof, but I’m pretty confident that this was a coordinated effort with PPB too. We already know they’re in communication and get a heads up about certain stories and they operate as mouthpieces for the State.
Additionally, if you look at the press release you’ll see photos of Nathan Vasquez, along with a video of him in the stash room that they also posted on their instagram today. Why is he a part of this raid, he’s not even in office yet… is he assigned to these cases? PPB’s PIO is doing this to help boost his image as the “law and order” DA. Police monitoring media and cracking down this way is so concerning, and a coordinated effort to do so with cops and DA is a huge red flag.

I’m not a part of any of these committees, I only spoke at the last meeting because I was asked to come on and provide some context to PPB’s behavior to activists the past few months- but I will pass that along

2024-06-17 23:42:43

On June 5th at a Portland Commitee on Community-Engaged Policing meeting that was DOJ and city sanctioned, Portland police chief Bob Day was asked about his remarks about arresting activists for the sole purpose of identifying them, gathering information on their circles and using that information for "leverage." Chief Day lied and stated that "we don't arrest people for leverage" and that he wasn't sure what the question was referring to. He made these remarks one month prior to being asked this question. All cops do is lie. Good thing his remarks were all on video, not that there will be any consequences.
Reminder- not two weeks after these comments were made, activists were arrested and brutalized for jay walking and standing on sidewalks. There was no dispersal order given, nor was there even a protest really as the arrests started the moment people arrived and the cops didn’t let up until the group self dispersed. There was no vandalism, no destruction of property, no violence. Just police being the fascists they are and escalating as they always do. I say this not to condemn property destruction, but to remind people of the fallacy that “nonviolent” protests results in a non violent response from the State. It literally doesn’t matter.

Fash Free Fest has been announced for this year! Date and details to come.
For some background, Portland has a history of violent fascists coming into town in late August to try and hold hate rallies and assault & harass community members. Portland antifascists have repeatedly shown the fuck up, disrupted these attempts and fought back. When I say they’ve fought back, I don’t say it lightly. Some of these events got insanely brutal but people continued to defend our community by any means necessary. At the most recent one, Proud Boys unleashed an insane amount of violence, including flipping over a van and bear macing people in their vehicles, and they still got pushed out of town. You might remember this as the day PB Tiny got blasted with an extinguisher filled with paint rendering him incapable of fighting (not to be confused with Tiny getting blasted with a live round).
The refusal to back down regardless of how intense things got by antifascists has resulted in the violent fascists to virtually fuck off and leave Portland alone. This is the second annual Fash Free Fest- a celebration of what the community has accomplished and the strength of communal power. I’m told that there is an insane lineup of musicians planned for this, along with free food and snacks, mutual aid, zines, an arts & crafts station, and more!
Folks are welcome to table

Andy Ngo and a slew of other far right assholes have been losing their shit about this article/statement put out by the Freedom of the Press Foundation about my arrest and encouraging the DA to drop my charges. Once again they have resorted to straight up lying about me. In addition to Ngo lying and saying that I’ve violently targeted journalists in the past (??), Chelly Bouffarache (honey badger mom) is claiming that I’m a serial rioter and that I am “running the actions” that I cover, which like, LOL. Ngo claimed that I’m an antisemite and others are saying that I have pulled knives on people for being right wingers, which I’m assuming comes from Ngo’s lie that I brought a shiv to his trial to try to kill him, which again, LOL.
Honey badger, who is besties with Ngo, is one of the reasons why I was charged with 7 felonies and had my home raided after she lied to a grand jury claiming I assaulted her and her friend. This was extra odd because aside from being objectively untrue, the day of the event mentioned she tweeted that it was weird I was being nice and helpful to her. (I had no idea who she was at the time and she was visibly annoyed when she asked “don’t you know who I am” and I said no). All of those 7 felony chargers were dropped not long after my arrest because I did nothing that day except for just being there and it all just seemed like an excuse for PPB to come after me.

also should add if anyone wants to learn how to climb, you should! It’s so fun and rewarding and the skills are useful for so many things. I learned from folks who already have the gear because that stuff is expensive as hell. But I feel like it’s much more intimidating than it actually is. Obviously I’m speaking from a PNW perspective so it might be different for others, but it’s not as dominated by toxic masculinity as it used to be. True for climbing and forest defense alike.

🚨🚨 New forest defense has launched in Oregon
Treesitters have launched a second occupation to stop the Bureau of Land Management’s "Rogue Gold" timber sale, which targets some of the last remaining old growth and mature forests in so-called Southern Oregon for commercial logging.
The protest comes just a few weeks after a successful protest against the agency's nearby Poor Windy Timber Sale, where activists won a concession preserving a swath of old growth trees after close to a month of treesitting. Last month's success only goes to show that direct action works, and these brave forest defenders are committed to continuing to fight tooth and nail until these trees are protected.
The forest where activists have set up their treesit occupation is located near the communities of Rogue River and Gold Hill. The sale is just one of many contentious logging projects that the BLM have proposed in Oregon in recent years. Currently, the agency has over 700,000 acres of forest land across the state proposed for cutting.
The Rogue Gold sale targets over 2,000 acres for commercial logging, including significant amounts of old growth and mature forests. Community groups and environmental organizations have been publicly opposing this project since it was originally proposed in 2021, with logging moving forward despite active litigation.

Of course, the two signs the fake protesters are holding are “ACAB” and “trump = fascist”
This is actually so fucking twisted. Some of my most insane and traumatic memories are from when BORTAC was deployed for protests in Portland in 2020 and they appear to be preparing for the same thing. We know what this is really about. Don’t feel right sharing their video but here’s a few stills that show the signs.

During a city council meeting yesterday, council candidate Chris Olson brought up the Trump fan that tried to drive into protesters a few weeks ago at a protest on campus at PSU and shared his traumatic experience. In response, mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also police commissioner, said that people shouldn’t "whine, complain and cry when there are consequences.”
I posted about this live as it was happening and had he been successful he would’ve driven thru the line of cops as well. This same man who attempted to kill people was detained and held on a mental health hold and released shortly after with no consequences. He has since posted at least 3 more death threats against activists on his instagram, including threatening to stab people and that he was making explosives to use on protesters.
A few years ago, Wheeler was encouraging vigilantism against protesters and said he wanted to “unmask” them and “make them hurt a little.”
Not one year after those comments were made, the Normandale shooting happened where someone open fired and killed one person and shot 6 others at a protest. Following the Normandale shooting Wheeler stated that he did not regret what he said.

Here’s a photo someone sent me of him trying to catch his breath after getting chased out right before hiding in the hotel. I have it on good authority that the goggles he donned that day were picked up and gifted to an antifascist journalist who Ngo can't seem to stop talking & lying about 💅

Happy Andy Ngo got clocked in black bloc and was forced to hide under the check in desk at the Nines Hotel anniversary.
Before he got made and unmasked, Ngo was wearing full bloc equipped with goggles and a BLM flag draped over his shoulders. By the time I arrived this night, he had already been hiding under the desk in the Nines. People who were present before I got there told me that he stood out from the jump, and that he was offering people fireworks & different tools from him backpack in a manner that made folks suspicious. This was in 2021.
This wasn’t the first time Ngo had showed up in bloc in Portland and attempted to manipulate and stage chaos for himself to report on or pretend to be the victim of. I’ve obtained audio from encrypted radio chatter from Portland Police that was recorded that contains PPB officers talking about Andy Ngo being undercover in downtown Portland at a protest and throwing fireworks out of the car window before driving the wrong way on a one way with his lights turned off at night. This audio corroborates eye witness accounts claiming they were certain they saw Ngo both throwing fireworks from the car and heading out the wrong way with his lights off. This is from July 2020 during a protest downtown, where multiple people also claimed being handed mortars by Ngo.

You have to go thru a metal detector at the courthouse and get searched by cops. If that were true I would have been arrested on the spot. Fucking dumbass.

Ok third arrest was given a citation and released. Still lines up with their statement and was done purely just to identify people

So we’re at 3 total arrests, all for J walking

This lines up with PPB’s statement that their goal is to detain and arrests people on the spot just to identify them and get rid of their anonymity. Fascist shit.

lmao the bathrooms are still inaccessible.
Also you never know for number 2. The one night they did a legit proper kettle, me and everyone else arrested got driven in the riot van all the way to the East precinct in Gresham. They took our mugshots on their phones then dumped us in the parking lot so no one would know where we were and there’d be no jail support 😑

How anyone can preach pacifism right now is beyond me. Children are running around with charred bodies, babies are being beheaded as their families are being burned alive, all the while settlers are celebrating this violence and death. Every day the Imperial Core keeps showing us how little our lives are worth to them. We have been past the point of symbolic parades for a long time.

انشالله النار يلي بتحرق هذه الإمبراطورية لل أرض تكون أسخن من النيران التي أحرقت جلد أطفالنا
May the fire that burns this empire to the ground be hotter than the flames that torched the skin of our children.

So TERFs ended up not showing up to their own event. Some were speculating that they may have driven by and left after seeing how many people were there to counter. People enjoyed their time outside of the library even more because of that. There was chalk art, music and dancing, snacks and lots of zines and posters. Library employee union members showed up too to support the library staff, many of which were trans and queer and were forced to come into work today regardless even after expressing their discomfort and feeling unsafe due to the groups planned event.
(Photo of the transphobe with the :anarchism: tagged on her back is from last November when they showed up at a portland library)

An indigenous woman who was arrested refused to take her braids out because of Indigenous spirituality/religion and they forced her on the ground, took them out by force and put her in solitary.
This is on par for PPB but Jesus Christ…

About 7 minutes into the push, PSU chief of police Willie Halliburton went down and is suspected of having a heart attack. Someone standing nearby told the cops as they waited for the ambulance "I warned him that he was gonna have a heart attack because my dogs are trained to detect it." A cop also verbalized to him that they thought it was a heart attack.
Before he was on the ground as seen here, he hand his hand over his chest and crouched down while he looked like he was in pain.

Lots of stuff to go through, will update/make a post later. On top of countless people getting brutally thrown to the ground, one students nose got broken by a cop and at least four others were choked. Cops pushed people against walls and other people with their forearms pressed up against their necks pushing them that way too, also choking them

Looks like the TERFs are having another event at a Portland central library tomorrow at noon. The
"RadFems" event is featuring Lierre Kieth with womens liberation front.
A counter demonstration has been planned, it’s a Queer Pride Pre-Party starting at 10am -2pm. The flyer says “bring chalk, food to share, music, and a gay attitude!”
The library staff also needs support and the queer toddler story hour has had to cancel their regularly scheduled event due to the threats posed by these transphobic rad femmes.

Fuck a negotiations team. These liberal mf’ers will take administration and figures of authority at face value while simultaneously demonizing students trying to get shit done. Wild that people aren’t learning from other universities who have completely gaslit the community and lied about divesting, like Evergreen for example. Are you not out there to get all of your demands met? Why call them demands if not?
There’s a university right now (not in Oregon) trying to get the students to take down the encampment after escalation (spray paint on some buildings, lol), and on top of a bunch of BS and empty promises that legit mean nothing, a certain group of people are celebrating and calling it a win because the uni promised 15 Gazan exchange students full rides at some point in the future. Like?? No one in Palestine is asking for a full ride right now. They’re asking to not be brutally ethnically cleansed and murdered, they’re asking for their right to stay on their land that they are native to. There very well may no longer be any Gazans, they’re already erasing Palestine from the map, what the fuck are you talking about? How are Gazans IN Palestine going to be a valid identity feature in 15 years… this is a fucking genocide. Please be so for real. Don’t give up your collective power for breadcrumbs.

A short march at Portland State University today ended at the administration building for a die in. Students began redecorating the building shortly after with messages to PSU president Ann Cudd, and other complicit people such as Benjamin Berry and Greg Hinckley on the board of trustees. Flags were put up along with corpse props and red hand prints

Portland State University President Ann Cudd got interrupted as she gave a speech today on campus and left within 40 seconds. After she left, infuriated students heckled her all the way back to her office.

🚨 Portland General Electric (PGE) is requesting approval to clearcut 4.78 acres of Forest Park. All work in Forest Park is proposed within existing PGE utility easements. I’m a bit confused on the information that’s currently public, but from my understanding PGE already has land use permits to do this from past projects, though they still need to submit their plans and hear from public testimony. Some articles state that PGE has already submitted their plans as of Monday. As of a year ago, PGE had this spring marked as their desired start date, so things will likely unfold fairly soon which seems to be confirmed by their recent proposal submission.
“In the next five years Intel will likely build one new semiconductor fabrication plant and rebuild another. Each fab plant uses as much electricity as 50,000 homes. To meet this growth, PGE will expand delivery of power generated east of Portland to its new substation in Linnton, and on to Hillsboro. The most direct route to do this is through Forest Park, which would necessitate logging swaths of the totemic park.”
So while PGE is currently wanting to clearcut almost 5 acres, they will likely need to expand the clear cutting even more afterwards to adequately assist Intels growth. I will be closely following this situation as it unfolds and update as necessary. If you have any information please reach out to me, my proton is in my bio and my signal is thawraa.161

Things would be much better if a lot of people could just admit that they disagree with tactics, instead of weaponizing identity politics and demonizing more radical activists to justify their beliefs. But I guess that would make it harder to virtue signal.

Walked up to the event a few minutes ago. Saw Oliphant walking out of Hoffmann Hall so Cudd is still letting them seek refuge inside campus buildings. When I walked up he was with the group of cops and said “hi Alissa, I see you keep posting about me. Don’t get arrested again.”
So far the group seems bigger than yesterday.

PSU president Ann Cudd's email sent out today is despicable and straight up infuriating.
First of all, she lied (again) claiming she sent the police because tents were set up. The police were there long before any tents went up. They were there before the protest even began. Additionally, PPB stated in a press conference that they would be making an effort to have more of a presence at these protests. Thus, l'm compelled to believe that Ann Chud gave PPB carte blanche to attack students and crush dissent.
She also claims to love & support all students as well as support free speech against injustice. Last I checked, sending a violent state sanctioned gang to brutalize people expressing their right to free speech isn't love & support, nor is it supporting free speech.
Ann Chud ends the message by saying "hate does not belong at portland state. We can protest injustice without it." What hate? There was nothing hateful about last night aside from the way the police behaved. In fact, it was full of love. I saw nothing but students and community members looking out for one another and protecting each other from violent police that SHE sent in, all the while speaking & standing up for tens of thousands of martyrs & people being genocided. Ann Chudd is a disgraceful, hate filled liar.
