Did you know that this where some of your neighbors are surviving the pandemic? Did you know that Portland spends hundreds of millions of dollars per year on a militarized police force? Those are two facts and you can do with them what you will!
There’s a bonfire at the foot of the elk and about 200 people down here at the JC.
As a preschool teacher I am obligated to show you this Peppa Pig poster which you have probably already seen.
If you’re confused about the fire, there are like built-in fire pits (for plants?) at the base of the elk statue it’s not like the elk itself is on fire. (Hey @StagulaRasa.)
A Black speaker addresses the crowd on Main, “My ancestors built this country! This movement will not end until justice is clearly served.”

The kid who sprayed this on the elk said, “Excuse me,” to me very politely.
