Lessons from the 2020 Uprising: Snitches, Cameras and Undercover Agents

This article provides a brief overview of some criminal cases from the Portland 2020 uprising, and discusses some lessons that can be learned from them. We try to identify and name snitches, including informants and journalists whose work has helped the state, and describe the tactics used by law enforcement, especially undercover agents. This article is obviously incomplete, and there is far more evidence, cases and stories than we could possibly find ourselves and include here.

Send us any information about snitches in the Portland area, “journalists” who’ve helped the state, or experiences with undercovers: get_stitches@riseup.net OR get_stitches@protonmail.com.

Some critiques of the demo on 6/25

Submitted Anonymously

Tonight, June 25, was okay. It could have been great.
We had a crowd of maybe 300, almost 400 and though there were some peace police it was almost entirely all people ready to riot. When was the last time we had that? J20 in 2021? May 25th, the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, also in 2021. We definitely have not had that many people ready to riot in over a year.
We got marching in good spirits, hit a Starbucks, took a wrong turn and almost ended up on the interstate, then hit the intended target of a CPC-affiliated clinic. A little chaotic but we did the thing. No police presence, no riot lines, nothing to worry about.
But then we marched straight back to Grant Park. Why? Continue reading “Some critiques of the demo on 6/25”

Crisis Pregnancy Center Donor Attacked

Submitted Anonymously

Last night, while the country reeled with horror from the overturning of Roe V. Wade, one of the donors to Oregon’s predatory CPC fund was attacked.

The local businesses and charitable organizations that keep these institutions alive have addresses, windows, walls, and interiors, and we have a responsibility to make sure enough of their funds are rerouted into property and merchandise repair, that they can no longer help sustain this oppressive industry.

Anti-Gender Monstrocity: Vulgarities on Gender and Pronouns

My “preferred gender pronouns are the sound of shattering glass, the weight of [a] hammer in [my] hand[,] and the sickly-sweet aroma of shit on fire.” If that creates discomfort in you, ‘it’ is acceptable as well; ‘it’ pronouns—from a personal, volatile, experience with gender—serve as an attack on the gendered binary hellscape we live in, especially when no opportunity for physical attack presents itself. Continue reading “Anti-Gender Monstrocity: Vulgarities on Gender and Pronouns”

Portland Bank of America attacked in solidarity with Atlanta Forest defenders

“Portland, Oregon”, Earth Night:

The doors, windows and ATMs of Bank of America financial center were broken and the building was redecorated with messages against the destruction of Atlanta forest.
Bank of America was attacked because of its funding of the Atlanta Police Foundation and the cop city project attempting to replace the forest with police infrastructure.

Why are we still standing outside of precincts?

Tonight, Feb 4, we stuck it to PPB by… yelling at them for a couple hours. And making them take their squad cars into the IJC basement parking from the street. Impressive. Why are we still doing this? Because it was effective in June of 2020? Was it even effective then or did it just feel effective?
It is 2022. Another Black man was murdered. It is outrageous. We should have millions on the streets. But we do not. Continue reading “Why are we still standing outside of precincts?”
