Noticed from Say Her Name/Say His Name chants..
Protesters from different cities have all used "Say Their Name" for Summer Taylor, who went by they/them pronouns.


Woman on megaphone "I've been told the riot vans are on their way."
She's now leading a "Stay together, stay tight! We do this every night!" chant. https://www.facebook.com/halospaced/videos/601482244106282/

They're singing Happy Birthday to a protester named Stephy omfg


Ari: They do have demands. They demanded a defunding of 50 million dollars to the police. They didn't get that. So they're gonna make them spend it.

Police went back behind window wall.
Protesters responded with a chant of "Pigs in a pig pen; oink oink oink!"
after a month of live munitions & propaganda the protesters have run out of fucks.

They arrested a man. A woman is crying & panicking.
Ari & nearby protesters are talking her through it. She was given a phone number to contact a bail fund.

The woman is "wishing she did more to stop it" & says he "shouldn't have been hitting a door".
Protester: It's wood. He just punched some wood. That's all.

Saw this happen on livestream. They gassed them on the way back behind the door: https://twitter.com/hungrybowtie/status/1281866428635680768

Ari & protesters discussing difference between PPB & federal officers. Apparently feds aren't as aggressive as police.
"They just come out & they nab you." - Ari

A protester was missing. His name is Princess. After they found him:
Ari: You go by he/him?
Princess: Yes. Well, I don't care. You can call me whatever & I'll come running~
#pdxprotest #PDXprotests #PortlandProtests

Everyone is relieved as fuck to find him & chat consensus is that Princess is adorable

There is a cop on the roof.
Protesters have requested that he do a flip &/or quit his job.

OH
THE PPB STREAM IS BC THEY'RE BOARDING THE UNION BUILDING UP
this is live now:
https://www.twitch.tv/concretereporting

Strange that the PPB is deciding to board it up in the middle of the night.. with armed guard..
Especially cos like.. Are they honestly so out of touch to believe that protesters would harm essential workers? Really?

Via Leslie McLam:
Cops claiming thrown rocks are the reason it was "declared a riot"
Streamers saw no rocks
Cop: You will soon. We'll be posting pictures.

Someone is playing loud music.
Each time anyone attempts music at a protest, protesters yell to 'shut it off'. The tactic is used by counter-protesters to copyright strike protest livestreams & get them banned.

Streamer screaming at the cop to "show his fucking badge" & yelling in anger about them not using tear gas in the wealthy neighborhoods
Streamer's chat is cute:
