Thought I'd head downtown, live-tweet a bit, see how things are going now that the feds are withdrawing...maybe? Or not?
Let's find out together

Good crowd for a Thursday--maybe 500? Mostly gathered around the District Courthouse. National press reports at the peripheries as protesters chant by the fence. No sign of feds. I'm told it's been pretty mellow so far

The Revcoms are back and giving a firey speech. "This system cannot be reformed, it must be overthrown!" The crowd is pretty into itpic.twitter.com/VkqihGtMl7

#WallofVets is here! I'm seeing a few moms in yellow shirts as well. It's mostly impossible to recognize people of course but this seems like a different crowd from yesterday, which makes sense since yesterday was what the French call a Shitshowpic.twitter.com/Tkcpr7iNgW

As many have already pointed out, Bizarro Riot Ribs has been cleared out and not replaced. As sad as I am about it, it's kind of a relief not to see the corpse of something that had once been so beautiful continue to shamble forward May the true Riot Ribs return soon

Replying to @1misanthrophile @defendpdx
Quick question from a comrade in Seattle: who is Trumpet Viking?

Short answer: he's a guy who looks like a viking and plays the trumpet at these protests Some say he lost all his fucks in a long-ago war. Some say he was born without them. No one knows the truth, but for sure we know he's the shit
