Because they want to be able to separate themselves from the socialist bloc in red and the anarchist bloc in black if the cops decide to play. They are in contact with police to coordinate.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE.

It’s time to cancel your account.

Hey Portland! Take note. This is how you deal with fascists who take to the streets in your community.

Costumes and dance parties are fun and make for whimsical optics. What’s the plan for when you inevitably get punched in the face because you allowed the fash to get too cozy in your spaces?

Antifascism is so often exactly this. Attacking the explicit fascists, while fighting off the repressive arm of the state at our rearguard— as the Basque comrades so effectively did today in Vitoria against Spanish falangist fascists.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

When are liberals going to realize that telling people to “not engage” with a violent fascist state is the same as telling a domestic violence victim to just be quiet so their abuser doesn’t have a reason to hit them anymore

“When they go low, we go high” works in a contest of shared values.

But against fascism? The high road leads to the camps.

Mockery is not cruelty, it’s a strategic rupture. It denies fascists the dignity they require to legitimize themselves.

If you want to join antifa, get a 9mm, 2 packs of American Spirit yellows, a can of Yerba Mate Revel Berry, Narcan, a carabiner, and wait until told otherwise at Mills End Park

A couple of years ago, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature passed a domestic terrorism law over of the objection of civil liberties advocates, environmentalists, and ordinarily reasonable Oregonians who told them this would only be used against the left.

It fits right in with Trump’s strategy.

This is why we collectively needed to reject the terrorism framework long ago. There is no equivalent to the counter-terror framework in eroding rights and legal norms.

Every “counter-terror” response has been an act of overreach that paints an entire community as guilty.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Also my fave part of this is that if you listen with headphones you can still hear him muffling his laughter after they cut away from him 😂

CNN anchor can't help but laugh as Trump Cabinet member brutally mocked by official A Portland City Council member made a CNN anchor chuckle Thursday after calling Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem a "renowned puppy killer" who is "afraid of protesters wearing frog costumes and chicken costumes."
Angelita Morillo, a Portland City Council member, had CNN's Boris Sanchez laughing with her comments about the visit with DHS official Noem, as city and state leaders have blatantly told the Trump administration that they do not want the National Guard in Portland, Oregon. This was a comment in a raw story post about you making the CNN anchor chuckle
"Who is this woman? She looks like she's maybe 15???"

I hate that it’s so financially lucrative for people to try to convince the rest of the country that Portland is a hellhole on fire. It’s not even a new phenomenon.

Portlanders will not be cowed by this administration. When undignitaries like Kristi Noem visit for their photo ops and get mocked by people in animal costumes it’s because that’s the level of respect they deserve. Doing the work of mass deportation is the least honorable thing a person can do.
