Respect to Portland:
This is all from yesterday evening (7/18/20). Don’t let anyone think the BLM protests have died down or aren’t well-attended anymore. Thousands of people are still gathering on the streets in many cities to demand abolition of the police and accountability for victims of state-sanctioned murders.
Jonathan Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove, Brett Hankinson.
Enough with using Breonna's name as a trend. Enough with a tiktok song that doesn't help.
Stop saying "arrest the killers of Breonna Taylor" and start saying "arrest JONATHAN MATTINGLY, MYLES COSGROVE, AND BRETT HANKINSON."
You need to do better for Black women. You need to do better for Black lives.

they don't care. not a single bit.
when we say acab, this is what we mean. did every cop kill this man or any other poc? no. but did all of them fight for this man to bring this situation to justice? did any of them speak out about this situation, or against these cops? at the very least, do they all hold the bad ones accountable? NO. you can't justify a system that was created as slave patrol. and until this system is abolished and one is created to serve ALL PEOPLE of any color, any gender, any disability or handicap, ACAB.
Do you only care about Black Women post-mortem?
Jennifer is alive & asking for help. We need eyes on her case as things progress. This shit doesn't accidentally continue for 2+ yrs. Cops claim they can do nothing, which is directly a lie.
#standwithjennifer
She has video recordings & pictures evidence on her instagram, she has even won a court case against her neighbor (due to Jennifer getting tickets from the dog shit the neighbor threw into her yard) yet the neighbor remains & continues to harass. This same neighbor pulled similar tactics to push the previous owner, another woman of color, out as well.
I lived at a place once with toxic neighbors. They too left dogshit at my door a few times. Idk what beef they had with me personally since we both were white & hardly exchanged any words. But i know it's not ok to not feel welcome at your own home. Jennifer not only feels unwelcomed, she doesn't even feel SAFE at her property that she OWNS.
Please stand with jennifer & help keep her safe.

In remembrance of all those who lost their lives 25 five years ago in Srebrenica. NEVER FORGET SREBRENICA!
the anniversary of library paste man’s death is in four days.
One hundred and ten years ago to the day. Amazing. Incredible.
it's time....
pres. trump sent federal troops into portland to squash the protests and they shot someone in the head with an impact round last night and shattered his skull. his blood is still on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse. they are not like local cops and they are NOT fucking around. they carry ARs with live ammo and they are merciless. i am very sincerely scared that federal forces are going to instigate a kent state type situation by killing protesters as an example sometime between now & november and i am very scared it’s going to be here
Video of the protester who was shot being carried away by medics while bleeding everywhere (obvious TW). He is alive but was in critical condition when he arrived at the hospital & needed extensive facial + skull reconstruction surgery. At the time they shot him he was standing on the sidewalk with both hands holding a boombox above his head Video of a federal officer kneeling on someone while he has a seizure; they did not allow medics to help him. There is word that this person may have died but afaik that is still unconfirmed Video of federal officers chasing & assaulting medics tending to an unresponsive protester Video of 15 feds forcibly arresting a disabled trans person and taking away their service dog for the crime of writing on the federally owned sidewalk in washable sidewalk chalk
Full live tweet thread of the night (7/11/20) with a lot more video footage, especially of the absolutely ludicrous amounts of tear gas they used
sorry for the long post—i am not sure how much national coverage this is getting and i really want people to know what’s going on here. they are behaving like an occupying army & treating citizens like enemy combatants
Death to America
i saw a video earlier today of what was happening directly after the first linked video, where the man who was shot had been carried away by his comrades and was laying in the grass. couldn’t talk and was coughing up blood. you could see there was a big physical dent/pit in his head where whatever projectile they fired on him hit.
In the last four days, a lot of you might have seen the video of Mr. Philip Banks catching a baby boy that was thrown out of a burning building - the baby was saved by both him and the mother who sacrificed herself to help save her kids. In the video, you can hear neighbors pleading with her to jump down herself, but she didn't. She was completely engulfed in flames by the time she went back in to try and save her daughter. There are three heroes in this story, and all three of them are angels, one in Heaven now, and the other two here on Earth. Mr. D'Artagnan Alexander is the name of the neighbor of the Longs who kicked in the door of their apartment, went inside the fire and saved the little girl, who the mother managed to carry as close to the exit as possible before succumbing to her horrific injuries. The final sacrifice of a loving mother and the selflessness and bravery of these two amazing men are incredible. Words aren't enough.
Both of the children made it, but sadly it was too late for Mrs. Rachel Long. She leaves behind a little girl that will need more surgeries to start her recovery, a baby boy that is getting better but is extremely traumatized, and a husband who is now heartbroken and left homeless with their two children.
I implore you, if you cannot donate yourselves, I completely understand, but please at least share the donation link, that helps too!
Mr. Phillip Banks is a true hero. The way he sprinted to catch the little boy, throwing himself with everything he got to save him - without a doubt, the boy would have been severely more injured or gone if it wasn't for him. Mr. D'Artagnan Alexandar is another true hero. That little girl would not have made it without him. He ran inside a burning apartment, risked his life, all to save a child and he tried saving the mother too, but she was already impossible. Can't imagine how traumatic all of that is for the two of them as well, and for all the neighbors and family members affected. A lot of people helped in this tragic situation.
And Mrs. Rachel Long? I can't even begin to describe how horrifying it is what she had to do to save her children, and how brave she was in her final moments. She was such a strong woman and amazing mother. No one should ever have to go through that. How do you recover from something like this? It seems impossible. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Rachel Long, an angel in Heaven, rest in peace.

Josey was found 3 hours after they rented the boat, alone, asleep and wearing a life jacket, and he told the police that Naya jumped into the water and never resurfaced, and it's sickening that people are making jokes about it now when a four year old might have lost his mother and that will be something that will haunt him for the rest of his life!!!! Do not make light of this situation!!!! You don't have to like her, just don't say anything then, if I see one more post being like, "I don't like Naya Rivera and she is a bad person who did this and that, BUT..." JUST SHUT UP!! I hope that she is found.
