These mothers and every single person in the streets of Portland will be written about in the history books. This is how we save a country on the brink of fascism.

Incredible energy and turnout in Portland again. The Moms are in yellows. (And it looks like this is turning into a thread of Portland tonight)

The moms of Portland aren’t just protesting, they’re forming a barrier to protect everyone. Literally gives me chills. Think about your own mom being out there with those police and feds.

Feds came out of the courthouse in Portland, and the moms immediately did this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">

The sheer size of the crowd in Portland tonight is remarkable. It’s clear that the feds gassing Moms has done to opposite of repress resistance.

Livestream of Portland. @TheRealCoryElia livestreams almost every night and is a great follow. If it’s not live when you click he’ll probably go live again soon. https://www.pscp.tv/w/cePYcjFEWkVvRGFnZ1BSUWF8MXZPeHdrQkxYbWR4QqvNsd_1Pfyl-9uOIA1E0nFBWMwjE0ts9CQ1XzOBbI5x">https://www.pscp.tv/w/cePYcjF...
A little surreal to be typing this, but it seems like the police and feds in Portland will wait till most of the moms go home tonight before gassing and assaulting people.
Day 52. Portland’s persistence is incredible.

The feds are using flash bangs to scare people away from the courthouse in Portland. Guess who’s on the frontline, and who’s not leaving. The moms.

Portland wants the feds out of their city. They’re making that quite clear.

Feds are willing to do this shit to moms. Again. When most of the country is asleep.
