The Black Lives Revolution (BLM)
Thread on march in #NYC earlier tonight https://twitter.com/AshAgony/status/1302051088925949952
#NYC last night. A couple points with this article: most reports call this demo much larger (500-600), and it was very clearly specifically called to demand the release of comrades still held in jail from this summer's protests and all political prisoners. https://nypost.com/2020/09/05/black-lives-matter-protesters-riot-in-manhattan-cause-100000-damage/

Tonight, by some counts, marks 100 days of persistent decentralized antagonistic action against police violence in #Portland (sit ins and other mobilization started even before this, laying the early foundations for the extended struggle). Solidarity out to PDX tonight and always, you inspire us everywhere to step up our game, stay together, stay tight, and keep on doing this every night until we #AbolishThePolice and prisons everywhere.

NG and large lines of riot police are gathering in 1 place. Take note that these police tactics leave other portions of the city unprotected. So police are more likely to use a show of force in the form of crowd control weapons for more range and coverage than they can use on their own when they decide to respond. Note that the geneva convention strictly prohibits the use of tear gas on militarized forces which a militia technically is. So if the officers decide to use crowd control means on NFAC or other armed groups, they would be breaking international law on a higher level than just using it on civilian demonstrators. Kentucky LRAD is on location according to folks on the ground.

OTG: folks on stream are talking about how Louisville Police Department has their own livestream analysis team now. Well so do we. Their purpose is to identify folks to arrest, ours is to identify police, and fascists abusing folks on the ground. Interested in helping us on the ground or remotely? Contact @BLMProtestsbot

From a streamer in #Rochester : "We out here. It's just crazy like, they police don't even know what to do." 😊💯🔥
