We’ve written quite a bit about the ongoing riots in Portland and Mayor Ted Wheeler’s contention that his most immediate concern is having agents from the federal government policing the scene with their violent tactics, not the anarchists trying to burn down a federal courthouse and set up a cop-free autonomous zone downtown.
From the footage we’ve seen, the rioters seem to come out at night, and by day, speakers take over to declare their demands. Afro-indigenous non-binary local organizer Lilith Sinclair took to a piece of stolen land in front of the courthouse Friday to demand not just the abolition of the militarized police state but the United States as we know it. The thing is, America right now isn’t the United States as we knew it; it’s already been transformed, so they’re well on their way.

Just like when the Democrats did their bit of “political blackface,” it’s funny that it’s the white guy on stage who’s wearing the kente cloth around his neck.
Knowing who she thinks she is, is more important than her message.

Look at that beautiful backdrop, utopia in the making.

Yeah, all of downtown Portland’s looking great these days; just like the aftermath of the Tea Party rallies.

Stolen land would mean she believes that a group owned it in the past. I guarantee she does not believe in private property rights.

Lazy millennials like Lilith ultimately want to come take Gen X's resources, money, property etc. People like *her* fundamentally are deranged and know that there is little hope for happiness in their life, unless they are able to commandeer resources from productive people.

It's really jealousy and greed masquerading as a social movement. They want nice things, as everyone does, but don't want to put in the effort to get it honestly.

They are saying it in plain sight. This is treason, plain and simple.

Is a priest behind it? He's clapping for his own religion to fall…..These people have no idea what is coming with this ideology.

Love the priest clapping mindlessly in the background not realizing he'll be one of the first shot or imprisoned for his religious beliefs.

Who knew the road from George Floyd’s killing to the abolishment of the United States would be such a straight and narrow path?
