      I have shifted up to Seattle today to follow a large demonstration that's in solidarity with Portland. I'd estimate a crowd of 2,000 already. They just torched construction buildings at the site of a new youth detention center. Meanwhile, feds are here https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/23/us/seattle-protests-feds.html …pic.twitter.com/jWvFqipRo4

      We are back at the site of the zone formerly known as CHOP, formerly known as CHAZ. The police department has said that due to restrictions on their use of tear gas, the officers would have to use batons more to control crowds. They've got them ready.pic.twitter.com/ngyTXUiAxw

          16 arrests so far in Seattle. I haven't seen any federal officers at this point, and the protests have been away from federal buildings. Our developing story: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/us/protests-seattle-portland.html … w/ @HallieGolden4

          Ongoing standoffs in the former CHOP zone. Some protesters are saying there is a lull now but larger crowds expected to return. Thanks to friends at @TheStranger for the opening up their top-floor vantage point.pic.twitter.com/7fIB5Y5CRt

          I feel like we warped back in time to early June, when Seattle police set up a line in this exact spot, repeatedly clashed with protesters over many days, then gave up the line, leading to the creation of the CHOP. I'm heading out. Be back for another big event planned tomorrowpic.twitter.com/LKaRobcpvT
