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…
Here is local reporting from the Oregonian about Saturday’s protest. oregonlive.com/portland/index…
Here is another angle of when the driver was surrounded and hit one of the protesters.
I went to sleep and woke up seeing the video retweets have gone effectively “viral.” I did not shoot these videos myself. A lot of independent journalists/vloggers now focus on Portland because protests are numerous and sometimes extreme. Credit to @FarleyFilms.
I have reached out to @PPBPIO for comment and clarification over their involvement on Saturday. Will update if they respond.
#Portland: If you were one of the people in these videos, or if you know someone in them, please contact me.
Updates via KOIN news: The elderly man called police & filed a report after the incident. The person who made contact with the front of the car has not. And police basically said they didn’t get involved to protect first amendment rights. koin.com/news/civic-aff…
I reached out to office of Mayor @tedwheeler for comment.

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…
1. First up: @ArmouredSkeptic, @JaclynGlenn, @creationistcat, & @DavidCSmalley discuss question of how recent politics has divided the atheist community. Moderated by @GSpellchecker. #MythCon

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:

I’m at the Portland ICE office that’s been blocked with protesters. Here, faeces, signs and tape block the entrance.
Along the wall, protesters write in chalk the names of ICE staff on the wall. “These pigs are attacking our community.”
Many tents have been set up around the building.

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 proud boys have showed up.
