In the parlance of my homeland I am fixin’ to be in SW Portland at our old pal the ICE building for another evening of first amendment expression at the #blacklivesmatter protests here in Portland’s

Here’s something I wrote during the protesters last visit, which ended up lasting quite a while: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/a3apdz/protesters-shut-down-ice-facility-portland-oregon

... and I also wrote this piece later in occupation: https://www.vice.com/en_us/contributor/donovan-farley

So this should be like seeing an old friend for all involved, right? Right.

It’s a scene. FedRAD said something but was drowned out by drums and chants and pig toy squeaks.

Traffic cone is somehow arranged to block camera to cheers while feds watch from a window above. FedRAD has mentioned fires twice and there isn’t a soul attempting fires that I can see.

ICE window got cracked and the Feds are assembling inside

Cops came from the side and charged
