The march was organized in advance of tonight by way of this advertisement. Note ‘no cameras or streamers’.
They commonly communicate and organize their actions in advance over various social media platforms.

Appears they’re also live-tweeting from the ground.
This seems awfully self-incriminating.

Even after a riot was declared and much destruction was done, it appears the group has dispersed without any arrests.
This will be the final tweet I add to this thread.
Portland Antifa are very happy with the way their Direct Action March for ‘Indigenous Rage’ went tonight. A riot was declared after 2 statues were torn down and at-least 2 buildings vandalized (w/ attempted arson); NO arrests.
