Mutual aid request for a disabled comrade in the hospital! Cactus has been in the ER with CSF leaks, so we’re taking turns staying with him 24/7 to advocate on his behalf. We’re asking for $300 to cover rides to/from the hospital & food for the volunteers. memo:🌵 v: arixanxim c: arixanxim

You're either advocating for communities and families targeted by ICE or you're not. Stop colonizing PDX ICE Indigenous resistance. There are federal buildings everywhere. Take your inflatable disco show there.

Made a mini guide to Mass Defense Hotline, detailing the many ways it can help you navigate an arrest in Portland. Print and propagate the zine. ↓ 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/illu...

We as activists must do a better job training new activists on resisting interrogations. About 90% of the people arrested at ICE went willingly to interrogation instead of refusing and remaining in the cell. We should role play the scenarios. Saying dont talk to cops isn't working.

The folks who run community free store are facing eviction they need to raise $1,800 by tonight This is such an emergency need please help share Venmo fruit-platter-500 Please consider sending something their way and helping this family with a young child stay housed

Not gonna lie, living here in WA that has so many deep ties with Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Boeing makes me think that we as a state need to collectively reckon with our labor propping up such pillars of unchecked power and greed.

A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE. It includes: -Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005 -The MN AFL-CIO -SEIU Local 26 -UNITE HERE Local 17 -CWA Local 7250 -Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators -Faith leaders And more. 🧵

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

This also goes for smaller Signal groups that say they are vetted by someone! If you don’t know every single person in that group personally, consider your communications in that group to be public. Act accordingly and don’t give any sensitive info you wouldn’t want someone unfriendly to read

Word on the street is that DHS is staying at the Porter Hilton at 1355 SW 2nd Ave, Portland OR and there are going to be noise demos tonight between 11pm and 5am and every other night until they leave!

**PORTLAND, OR TODAY!!** Please stop by the Defense Fund PDX street fair today. It’s a great alternative to No Kings, or you can come through afterwards! Stickers & shirts with this Jury Nullification design that I whipped up will be for sale there, with 100% of the proceeds going to the bail fund.

With so many people losing their SNAP benefits next month, please consider stocking your neighborhood free fridge. Better yet, host one yourself! sites.google.com/view/pdx-fre...

I think we’ve possibly hit peak Portland neo-lib now that there’s a fund set up for an inflatable costume closet. Meanwhile, your neighbors might not get their Nov SNAP benefits and you probably still call the cops on your Black and Brown or houseless neighbors. Over it.

Tomorrow!

***Portland, OR*** TOMORROW!!! Please check out the Defense Fund PDX street fair! More info in quoted post. There will also be tee shirts and stickers for sale with this design that I whipped up. 100% of the proceeds are going to the bail fund.

A performance by people who think this is a protest. By the same people who think these precedented times are unprecedented. For people who do not know that marching with signs is an obsolete tactic. If your actions can just be ignored, it’s ineffective.

Mass Defense Hotline can help with support and advocacy when you call from jail in Portland— but only if you have the number handy! Here's a little reminder to write it somewhere discreet on your skin whenever you're risking arrest. Download and distribute ↓ 🔗 grafera.zone/archive/illu...

piper viewed me as a victim and the second I corrected her she lashed out at me and shamed me for my body so like, yeah, cool feminist shit I guess

i urge you, if you have been entertaining piper's version of the story, where it was really all the survivor's friends and supporters being evil masterminds and "influencing" the survivor into making allegations against piper, to please read the survivor's own words on the matter. (edited)

@/yourfriendpiper abused me. I didn't want to talk about it, but she won't stop, so here's my account If you look at this on desktop CW for flashing lights and music

DON'T SHOOT PDX shared a vid on insta of a dozen pigs going full "lemme see your hands" and aiming their guns at a group of five children at the Holladay MAX stop. They've been super active in Lloyd all weekend to stroke their egos cuz they failed to break up the takeovers on Saturday.

Wild that the "underfunded" and "understaffed" Portland Police Bureau is able to send eight patrol vehicles and dozens of officers to harrass kids doing donuts. 300 million a year for an under 10% clearance rate, but don't drift your car or Joe Beatshiswife from Battleground will fuck you up.

And now there's like 15 Portland Police officers aiming guns at children and yelling conflicting orders from 30 feet away. Truly such a pathetic and cowardly police force. Giving the Uvalde Police Department a run for their money.

the following is posted with the consent of piper’s survivor. here’s a fairly simple principle. If Party A says Party B is abusing Party C, and Party B says the opposite—that it’s actually Party A abusing Party C—you know who is best positioned to know the truth? PARTY C. 1/a lot (again)

On October 27th 2024 I cut Piper Smith or @yourfriendpiper off. This was after witnessing a number of behaviors which I viewed as both dangerous and abusive. Including lying, manipulating, triangulated, sharing non safety related signal screenshots, context collapsing, and many others.

White people say crime is the problem even when crime rates are low. They’re really just using the word “crime” to garner public support for over policing of black communities.

One of the biggest failures of 2020 is how we all let a bunch of upper middle class white losers gain followings, control, and insider access to local activist scenes bc they posted really hard about theoretically caring about black people being executed in the streets online

Just gonna say that if you see someone in your white majority activist spaces constantly beefing with the handful of people of color within and trying to paint us all as a threat to safety, while tokenizing our literature to posture during arguments, you should raise an eyebrow and ask questions

Because for every abuser who does legitimately have BPD or bipolar or autism there are hundreds if not thousands of other people out there right now with that same diagnosis and same or similar symptom profile, but lacking the key ingredient: entitlement

PIRC also recommends folks add their hotline number to your phone. If you see what you suspect are ICE agents in Portland - they have a rapid response team that can verify that it's ICE and send in legal observers if needed (888) 622-1510

Hot take but if you actively enabled a serial abuser to stalk, harass, and threaten their exes & enemies in the name of “supporting survivors” that you should probably take a long time to reflect on what about your belief system got you there before you start telling other people what to do lol

Piper (‪"yourfriendpiper") abused her last partner (cornering, shouting at, isolating, triangulating, repeatedly pressing or violating boundaries, etc) and repeatedly manipulated and lied to those of us around her. She knows her ex called her an abuser and is DARVOing because we all cut her off.

Piper does not give a fuck about the safety or well-being of my child. She routinely pressured Keen to prioritize her over our child. Piper is in fact the only thing that has ever caused my child trauma or psychological distress

Also she's a chaser

The feds and Geo group can commit violent unlawful crimes on us inside the Portland Oregon ICE Concentration camp processing center because not one journalist or politician or powerful influencer cares enough to educate or even notify the public. The violence is getting worse inside the building.

In February 2024 I published a survivor statement against my ex, Huitzil, after enduring years of severe abuse extending well after the breakup. This was a difficult choice, in part because I feared my callout would endanger her then-girlfriend, Piper.

Piper/@yourfriendpiper leverages false accusations as a power and control tactic, to the detriment of every survivor who ever needed or will need to use a callout to escape and prevent further abuse.

She *still* conceptualizes things as a tug-of-war for power OVER her survivor. She cannot accept that everything that has happened since early April has been the survivor's support network heeding her survivor's wishes

I also find it incredibly interesting that Piper thinks her fight is with myself and Will as if her survivor is not a whole person with thoughts, feelings, and perspectives of their own who's words carry weight and who's agency matters

I have so many horror stories about @/yourfriendpiper that I have no idea where to start. All I will say for right now is that Piper is a danger to survivors and is not a safe person to advocate, mediate, or provide support in any capacity.

Wait ok so a white woman that declared me as an enemy to survivors for being on the wrong side of a callout (and then deplatforming, apologizing, and correcting course when I realized I was being lied to) is abusive. All while positioning herself as an expert on abuse. I love the PNW.

Piper Smith @/yourfriendpiper abused my partner for 5 months. This is posted with their consent

Oh, and Piper thinks supporting survivors means airing all their personal business non-consenually too. She has on multiple occasions non-consenually outed folks': gender identities, sexualities, survivor status and details survivors shared with her in confidence that they did not want shared

The fact that Piper posted all that without any mention that I called her abusive months ago is just insulting

piper has multiple victims, exhibiting a specific pattern of transmisogynistic abuse. she presents herself as an authority on abuse while privately targeting, isolating, and controlling transfem partners.

piper is an abuser who targets transfems in particular and whose tactics include triangulation, isolation, manipulation, and emotional abuse.
