A lot of “news media” is “reporting” on what’s going on in Portland, but it’s also a lot of pro-police propaganda bullshit (yes, even from MSNBC… because they aren’t “left wing”, people). The best way to get an understanding of what’s actually going on is to seek out teh reports from protesters on the ground, actually experiencing this shit in real time.
And so, I present to you, Crip Dyke. The following is a link to her blog where I search for “Portland”. Sadly, it’s not quite in posting order (most recent first), but you really should be reading everything…
And here’s the most recent post about what’s going on…
To be honest, the violence the federal police are instigating in Portland leads neatly into what my next post will be. That will be up in the morning. In the meantime, go read Crip Dyke’s posts on what’s going.
Thank you.
Ive lived in Portland almost my entire life. I watched the same thing go down in the 60’s. The news reports ‘Portland is on fire or Portland is being overrun by communists. Portland is on fire.’ The truth is its a four to six block area in the downtown core. The whole city isnt burning, its not being overrun by anarchists or marxists as they like to call em now. So tired of the lies being told in the media. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Please people, I am an atheist but for gods sake VOTE come november.
