@swiggleman, a Portland rapper, talks about a friend who was tased at 15 here in Portland for jaywalking. The way PPB disproportionately pulls over black people. He ends with a call to support black businesses and a performance of "Dear Portland Police" -@1misanthrophile

Another great performance from someone whose name I failed to catch. Acapella. His passion carries it and the park erupts in cheers He speaks and sings about the legacy of rebellion against colonialism and oppression. Beautiful -@1misanthrophile

He performs three just amazing songs. If anyone knows who this is please reply because everyone ought to check this dude out One more speaker and then we march -@1misanthrophile

The final speaker talks about the colonialist roots of the police, the brutality they enact. The broken prison system, migrant children in cages You'd think after a month I'd stop being floored by the enormity of the injustice we have to undo but no -@1misanthrophile

Broke the thread, clumsily fixing it. My boomer tech skills stike again https://twitter.com/1misanthrophil 

We're getting ready to march! "Riot cops are gearing up right now, going to the north precinct. Guess what, motherfuckers? We aren't going to the north precinct. We're going to... " (Not gonna give it away till we get there) -@1misanthrophile

This is a solid crowd--at least 300. It's been over a month and we're still going so strong. The energy is no longer the inferno of fresh rage. It is the smoulder of a controlled burn, and it will go on for as long as it has to -@1misanthrophile

The march passes a line of riot cops. A few bottles fly through the air. IMMEDIATELY, an unlawful assembly is declared. This happens in the space of about two minutes -@1misanthrophile
