"The Telegram messages don’t show the protesters planning to harass or target police or damage property. A significant portion of their discussion is about how to avoid encounters with police, particularly federal officers, who they knew had detained protesters.

“We went down the side street and it seemed to deter them from following us, they retreated,” one unidentified user said about an earlier encounter with Portland police. “Seems they’re less inclined to go into residential neighborhoods which makes sense.” "

Tujunga: One person hospitalized, one person arrested, and one person hospitalized and arrested after police beat counter protestors with batons and pushed people down hills. The group of 15 were counter protesting a blue lives matter gathering in Tujunga this afternoon when the force of 15-20 police were deployed against them. One of those hospitalized was a videographer. There are reports that members of the blue lives matter gathering joined in to beat the counter protestors.

Massachusett is using prison-slave labor to manufacture Blue Lives Matter flags.

#Seattle today. Rumour is it'll be a bigger one

protest_nyc Just tweeted ********************************************** The @WarriorsITG march, which began at Bowne Playground in Flushing, has bicycle brigades to protect protesters from traffic in case any of last night's threats of violence are followed through. Hundreds have turned out to prove they won't be stifled by anti-BLM extremists. https://t.co/s8rnP3MLOy

CBP feds (who we also saw in Portland) continuing their old game of terrorizing migrants on the southern border. This is what they are normally up to all of the time. Let's remember the solidarity these protests put us in with those facing the same sort of violent federal repression all the time.

#Tucson tonight!

A really awful, if expected, example of how anti-indigeneity alongside anti-blackness are foundational and structural in policing not only in the United States. Here, a new story from so-called Canada.

Before covid hit, indigenous rail blockades had ground down Canadian logistics almost to a standstill. They were interrupted by the pandemic. The legal repression is now hitting hard. Check out the thread and spread the word if you can. Solidarity.

A comrade sent us this photo of an article from a journal published in 1963 :)

Happening right now in #Portland

Windsor Square: Around 900 are gathered in front of Mayor Garcetti’s house demanding rent and eviction cancellations

Millions march all over the country and they shut the fuck up.
Hundreds protest for one day and it's the silent majority talking. These people are so deep in their delusion it's hilarious.
They're gonna lose. They can delay it, they can pull all the tricks they want but they're gonna lose in the end, as always. The arc of a moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
