I’m heading to cover this antifa protest against @JoeyRockstone on the one year anniversary of last year’s massive antifa & pro-Trump showdown in Portland.
“Go fuck yourself Andy!” a masked protester yells at me. #Antifa
The police are not letting them get near each other again after clashes. #antifa#proudboys
Woman yells at police: “Do you guys sleep well at night protecting these white supremacists?”
Woman screams out car window as she drives by: “White people are Nazis as fuck!”
“If you like Hitler, kills yourselves you fucking Nazi fascist bitch.”
Protester with megaphone vs Portland Police.
March of shame? Protesters shout “shame!” as pro-Trump crowd walks through downtown Portland.
Pro-Trump rally shows solidarity with Britain and England. Some protesters said flags are a sign of far-right white nationalism.
I’ve been accosted three times by the same masked man who kept mentioning my name. He is angry.
This man’s shirt on the right incensed a lot of protesters. Man on the left was sprayed by something by protesters.
I ran into Edie & Daniel Deporter-Dixon, who I profiled last year in a story on trans women who support Trump. I asked her today: “Is this movement transphobic?” womenintheworld.com/2017/07/06/for…
Peaceful masked protester confronts proud boy and girl. He takes issue with the man’s homophobic joke. Man says: “Look at my face. Do you think I give a shit about a joke?” #antifa
Black Trump supporter who was peppered spray by protesters: “I’ve encountered [racism] from the left telling me I’m an Uncle Tom & a coon.”#antifa
That’s all from today’s #antifa vs #ProudBoys in Portland. It started raining so my equipment and I got wet. The smell was also putrid. Like my work? Support me:

Overnight on 30–31 Aug (94th day of protests & riots), #antifa attacked the Kelly police building in Portland again. In response to the killing of the Trump supporter, they came in bullet vests & armed w/numerous guns & "spike strips" to pop police tires. portlandoregon.gov/police/news/re…
Kristopher Donnelly, 26: arrested 4th time. He's now held on federal warrant archive.vn/kMlOc
Carly Ballard, 34: arrested again; already has federal officer assault charge archive.vn/WbGpx
John Dixon, 27: felony assault of an officer & more archive.vn/yDF1z
Arrested at the violent #antifa Portland protest, charged & quickly released without bail:
This is the type of street anarchy that routinely happens where I live. Here is video from 6 Oct showing Antifa directing traffic in downtown & threatening people who don’t obey with violence. Mayor @tedwheeler, who really runs this town?
And here is video of an elderly man who didn’t heed their street orders — so they chased him down. #Portland
Saturday’s street take over was just one in a string of events where the city’s leaders abdicated responsibility to uphold the rule of law. Here’s an example I investigated from the summer that lasted for weeks: wsj.com/articles/anarc…
WOW. Remember the published feminist academic articles on dog rape culture, fat body building, & “womb room” feminist poetry? It was an elaborate project by @peterboghossian, @ConceptualJames, @HPluckrose to expose extreme bias of grievance research. wsj.com/articles/fake-…
Holy crap. One of their accepted academic articles to Affilia, a feminist social work journal actually was a rewrite of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” They swapped out anti-Jewry for intersectional jargon.
The fact this was considered by a feminist philosophy journal should tell you a lot. One paper they wrote suggested having “privileged” students lose speaking rights, be asked to sit on the floor and to wear chains during class. YIKES.
Follow this thread for my live tweeting from Saturday’s #MythCon event. The conference in the past focused on secularism but now speakers are going to debate topics like feminism & social justice.
Sargon of Akkad is debating atheist social justice advocate @RichardCCarrier at #MythCon. Last year, Sargon debated an irate Thomas Smith, who repeatedly accused him of misogyny. Security even became involved later. This was my report: areomagazine.com/2017/10/03/cha…
I just got back from the “abolish ICE” Portland camp. It’s become a sprawling parallel fortress society. The smell is memorable. Many rules (eg photography not allowed inside).
A bit of panic ensues when Portland Police finally go inside camp to post statements that space will be cleared. I followed them.
Sometime soon, the City of Portland will likely start clearing the anti-ICE/anti-borders camp (notices already posted more than 24 hours ago). In response, the camp has walled themselves off completely. They even have "wall guards" keeping watch. From the last hour:
