Thu, 8:22: footage in their #CHAZ story. Then I watched these fucking morons show comments by only two locals: one, a police woman saying "anecdotally"—KEY WORD THERE, anecdotes are not evidence—that businesses within the zone were being asked to pay a fee and "this is extortion" (well, scroll about halfway down this page to see there is no indication such a thing is actually happening: https://bit.ly/2MPReU5); and the other, a blonde white guy referring to the group as "domestic terrorists." And what acts of "terrorism" did they have actual footage of? Scorched bodies? Burning buses? Nope: just demonstrators moving street barriers around. Which, incidentally, were only put there to begin with by police.
Anybody watching stories about this in conservative media is being completely played.
Thu, 8:55: RT @TheDweck: The only ones who should be mad that racist statues are being removed are pigeons bc their toilets are suddenly gone
Shobhit made a giant bowl of banana bread batter. These muffins are only from half of it. He didn’t quite follow the recipe which made me convinced they would not be as good but they turned out delicious so I’m PISSED. https://t.co/jl3oTfuRLp
Thu, 14:08: #CHAZ update: The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone does appear to be populated largely by activists and hippies, neither of whom are any detriment to it. Plenty of regular citizens of conscience as well.
East Precinct doors appear to be open again. No stationed cops outside in riot gear though: key difference. No open hostility at all on either side, actually, at the moment. https://t.co/Sh2ASazD2A
