A lot of gas being deployed in Portland. Reminder tear gas is banned in war yet it’s being used on peaceful protesters.

Important note on walking, not running. Crowd stampedes hurt people.

Oh my God look at these moms. Everyone is yellow is a mom. Trump’s mercenaries couldn’t care less.

Trump’s mercenaries will do anything. They’re gassing and assaulting everyone, moms included. Buy a sturdy umbrella, or google shield building.
