Beautiful moment in Portland tonight. But horrifying to have fear in my gut because they could be attacked at any moment.

Trump’s secret police aren’t engaging with the Portland crowd right now, but they’re there.

The Portland parents are amazing.

Wow the folks in Portland are fearless, and they want the feds out.

Okay most important thing so far. SUPPORT LOCAL PORTLAND JOURNALISTS.

Seriously please share this and donate to the fund supporting journalists if you can 👇🏻 these folks literally sounded the alarm on the crisis of Trump’s feds invading Portland.

When you see chants, tactics, or anything else noteworthy in Portland, take notes. Our cities could be next.

Incredible turnout in Portland on this Monday night. And remember, everyone in yellow is a Mom. 💛

They got these Portland Moms pissed off...

I don’t think this was Trump’s intention, but these beautiful protests and beautiful people make me want to go to Portland.

Reminder that this was all started by Black organizers fighting for Black lives. Don’t let Trump erase that.

Every time I see the Portland moms in yellow locking arms to form the @WallOfMoms I fall in love again

Feds just tossed the first gas of the tonight’s Portland protest.

Portland moms respond to first gas canister by making the themselves into a barrier between courthouse and protesters.

The simple message from the people of Portland tonight:

Take notes on how they do things out in Portland.

“There are calls for gasmasks to be passed up for the moms”

Trump’s America. #PortlandProtests

One major thing I’m seeing in Portland tonight is people aren’t just going to wait for these secret police to leave. They want them out now.

https://twitter.com/hungrybowtie/status/1285474226372145153?s=21 https://twitter.com/hungrybowtie/status/1285474226372145153
Feds again come out of the courthouse and immediately toss an ungodly amount of tear gas. No regard for the moms on the front line.

I’ve watched maybe 500 clips of the Hong Kong protests. At lot looked exactly like this scene in Portland right now.

A @nytimes reporter was just punched in the head in Portland.
By the feds.

Portland is not afraid of these feds.

Terrifying scene in Portland right now.

Gas and smoke is so thick in Portland you can barely see across the street.

https://twitter.com/tuckwoodstock/status/1285490933929148416?s=21 https://twitter.com/tuckwoodstock/status/1285490933929148416
The protesters of Portland had been pushed blocks away from the courthouse. Now they’ve pushed all the way back to the steps.
