A Black activist is talking about the bullshit the chuds apparently spewed on black-on-black crime. About the importance of fighting against the police state, housing as a right, sex worker rights, casual racism, institutional racism Feeling better already

@suzettesmith reminds me that Jail Support is over in the direction the chuds headed. We sprint over Confrontation on 2nd and Madison. Paintballs and mace deployed, something thrown from abovepic.twitter.com/JmNN0NPQ6n49 replies 291 retweets 974 likesShow this thread -

Cops have entered the situation: appear to be going into the parking garage on 2nd and Madison where the chuds are raining projectiles down on the small counterprotest. Things are not always one-sided but today? All aggression coming from the chud side since I got here

The chuds are leaving. A group of counter-protesters decide to enter the garage and capture plates as the cars leave. Many have plates obscured They're yelling at the cars. People in the cars are armed. Everyone's tense and scared. Close quarters. This is not a good plan

Replying to @One__T__
I did an entire undergrad thesis on the groups that come in to protest in Portland. "Far right" usually refers to people who believe things outside of traditional mainstream Republican thought as curated by establishment institutions, especially magazines like The National Review

I recommend "Right-Wing Critiques of American Conservatism" by George Hawley to learn why Trump's platform falls under the label "far right." David Neiwert has done some great writing on the so-called "Patriot" groups of the Pacific Northwest who often come to downtown Portland
