Hello again from Portland.

The "Wall of Moms" just arrived at the federal courthouse, and their numbers have grown substantially once again.

"Hey hey, ho ho. These racist cops have got to go."

A popular chant this week: "Feds, go home!"

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the federal courthouse, here are the tactical holes from which federal officers have fired less-lethals munitions in past nights.

Some protesters have already set up shields, including one person using a blue sled.

In the park across the street from the federal courthouse, protesters are lining up to get a free meal of pulled pork, potatoes and salad from the makeshift kitchen called Riot Ribs.

Here's a preview of tomorrow's New York Times front page.

A mix of things happening all at once... Chanting. A circle with speeches. And a group prying plywood off the front of the building.

One group is trying to light the building facade on fire

Strong disagreement over whether fire is an appropriate method for protest
