I am here outside the Federal Courthouse in Downtown Portland, where a crowd of mothers have gathered again after being tear gassed last night by feds.

This is one of the largest Portland crowds we have seen this month.

You can see how the moms, in yellow, are creating a defensive human wall to protect the crowd in the intersection.

It is beginning to look like repeatedly tear gassing a crowd of moms may have been a tactical error.

The Feds have turned off their lights. Their LRAD has started warning people not to fuck with their fence or they will start attacking people. This has inspired folks to mess with the fence.
