No cops visible. The lights are off, like a house on Halloween that ran out of candy#DefendPDX #PortlandProtests #PortlandProtest #RoseCityJustice
Organizer warns us to be vigilant. States that we are not alone here and to watch out for those who are against us

"I'm not leading a march tonight. We are staying right here. We aren't leaving tonight"
This is definitely a very different vibe. I feel like I say that every night but it's true every night also. The absence of police means there's no natural focal point, and I don't think I'm imagining the uncertainty of the crowd

The people who made FENCE WARS appear to be two delightful older people. They told me they're still trying to figure out how to upload to YouTube, but that they're planning on it. First boomer-aged people I've encountered at these protests, I love to see it

The crowd has been chanting "black trans lives matter" for about ten minutes, and the reason for this is that black trans lives fucking matter

More fireworks, farther down 3rd. My guess is bored kids

So um, I went to my car to grab something and someone broke my car window and tossed my shit. I ended up dealing with that so I am, unfortunately, no longer there. Apparently shit got real, please everyone stay safe
