"What did you do during the Trump era?" a liberal asked a Portland anarchist.

"Oh, you know... we fought cops, blockaded fascists, occupied ICE facilities, defended families from eviction, and confronted DHS every night."

"Wow, Portland sounds pretty cool," said the liberal. "Where I live, all those things are illegal!"

Last summer, when Minneapolis police murdered George Floyd, people demonstrated what police abolition could look like.

Politicians shifted the conversation to proposals to defund the police—which went nowhere.

Today, the police are still killing. It really is up to us.

Stay safe out there, everyone!

Reports of looting in Minneapolis again tonight.

This is the self-organized redistribution of wealth—from those who benefit from lethal white supremacist capitalism to those who suffer and die under it.

As someone put it last year, they have stolen more than we could ever loot.

A year after the George Floyd uprising, what has changed—and what can we learn from this?

An account from Minneapolis, discussing the past 48 hours of grieving and revolt in response to the police murdering Daunte Wright.

Months ago, people in Portland sent gas masks to Minneapolis to prepare for the next stage of the struggle against police violence.

Last night, medics were able to stay behind and help others evacuate through the tear gas in part because of those masks.

This is what solidarity looks like. Take care of each other—so we can be effective everywhere.

"We don’t want no more casualties—we don’t want no more martyrs—we don’t want nobody else getting hurt out here tonight."

-Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, subtly threatening demonstrators last night.

Under Republicans or Democrats—police are an occupying army. Rest in power Daunte Wright. Let's make a world without police.
