One of our DefendPDX photogs, @cdsupriyadi, caught a DHS agent pulling some soccer flop shit
Then @DHS_Wolf had the audacity to claim the exact same incident as a serious injury
So I made a video for @DefendPDX about it, which you can watch here. Sound on!https://twitter.com/defendpdx/status/1288821646015500290 …

How do you know when a fed is lying? Their lips are moving. This is the exact incident
@DHS_Wolf used to make the claim that Portland protesters are violent and deserve the horrible things that have been happening out herepic.twitter.com/u9GwmNE4lP2 replies 4 retweets 22 likesShow this thread -
And now a shameless plug:
@cdsupriyadi is not just an incredible videographer, he has a tenacity I'll never be able to match. He's out here every night taking videos, usually without goggles or a respirator. He's almost always the last to leave. I don't know how he does it1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
If you have the funds, consider dropping him a donation at DefendPDX: Venmo: DefendPDX CashApp: $DefendPdx Add a note in that says it's for him specifically. Maybe we can make him buy a goddamn respirator finally

Please add more coverage of Black voices/activists to your feed in addition to soliciting donations!

The videographer in question is a person of color who has been risking his personal safety to get video for the last 60 days. Donating to him should not be the totality of anyone's activism, nor should this video be the only thing people watch, but I stand by the solicitation

(also, he did not ask me to do this nor does he yet know I did it, so while he is the appropriate target for your money I am the appropriate target for anger over this solicitation)

No anger at all, just encouraging the PDX journalists to cover the BLM voices & issues in addition to the confrontations with the feds/police. It’s shocking how little, if any, coverage happens of speakers & issues etc.

That's fair I do try in my live tweets to cover speeches when I can. There have been fewer and fewer of late. It's difficult to have speeches when fed violence erupts without warning It's my hope that pushing back against the narrative of violent protesters helps advance BLM
