Tiny is a big wig now. He is still so so stupid and so is the WA Republican party.
A man who made headlines for brawling with anti-fascist activists in Portland in recent years has apparently found a role within the Clark County Republican Party.

Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, who spent two months in jail last year for punching a man in 2018, attended the party’s Feb. 23 meeting to act as the party’s sergeant-at-arms.

Tiny is from up in KKKelli's region in WA. About spit my coffee out from an article in the Eugene RG...OMG those Lunatics of the Oregon Republican party just voted in their worst RWNJ as party chairman: Dallas Heard of Roseburg. He may deserve a thread all his own. Usually these nuts fail at getting elected to positions of authority. For example,Joey Gibson & Gavin Seim. I the predict soon Tiny will get his 15 minutes of fame but flame out at becoming part of the government he openly does what he can to undermine. Dallas Heard the loud-mouthed anti-masker--SMH. People like Norma Paulus must be spinning in their grave at what the GOP has turned into...

Federal judge throws out Joey Gibson’s lawsuit against Multnomah County DA Feb. 27, 2021
https://www.opb.org/article/2021/02/27/ ... n-lawsuit/

"Immergut also noted in her filing that the charge filed against Gibson and Schultz followed all of the regular court procedures. While this isn’t directly related to the argument for or against “bad faith,” Immergut said in her opinion “it is powerful evidence tending to rebut the assertion that the charges are a complete ‘sham,’ as argued by [the] Plaintiffs.”

The state trial for Gibson and Schultz is currently scheduled for March 8."

Around 20 members/associates of the Proud Boys have been charged so far. I'm trying to think of the last time so many r-w extremists from a single group were charged for an incident, but having a hard time coming up with one.

Proud Boys and other far-right groups raise millions via Christian funding site
Revealed: groups banned from other sites fundraising on GiveSendGo as data breach identifies high-dollar donors


https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... ising-site
A data breach from Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo has revealed that millions of dollars have been raised on the site for far-right causes and groups, many of whom are banned from raising funds on other platforms.

It also identifies previously anonymous high-dollar donors to far-right actors, some of whom enjoy positions of wealth, power or public responsibility.

Some of the biggest beneficiaries have been members of groups such as the Proud Boys, designated as a terrorist group in Canada, many of whose fundraising efforts were directly related to the 6 January attack on the United States Capitol.

From that article, which names some names:
Of Tarrio’s donors, none immediately responded to requests for comment except for Gerardo G Gonzalez, who anonymously donated $1,000 to Tarrio on 7 January.

Public records show that Florida-based Gonzalez is a former pharmacist who owns at least six properties in Miami Beach and Homestead, Florida. His apartments, apartment buildings and an acreage lot have an assessed value in excess of $2.4m, and in prior decades has sold other properties worth millions more.

In a telephone conversation, Gonzalez said that his support of the Proud Boys was motivated by his belief that “there is no systemic racism in this country”, and his opposition to “BLM and Antifa” who he said represented “the real extremism” in the United States. He also used derogatory terms for Latinos and Democrats.

Many believe that Oregon is a very liberal state. That is both true and false. The majority of Oregonians live in Eugene, Salem, and Portland, and are hardcore liberals. Those cities are tightly grouped within about 120 miles. Rural Oregon is hardcore Repub. Thus, most of the state is red. And rural Oregon is full of white extremists.

Oregon once legally banned Black people. Has the state reconciled its racist past?

:snippity:
“As long as there have been white people here, there have been Black people here,”
he says. “The reason we don't talk about Black people in the larger narrative of our state’s development is because there were explicit laws placed to keep Black people out of Oregon.” Sometimes this fact makes Fort Clatsop’s visitors visibly uncomfortable.

Oregon is known today for liberal politics and residents who faintly resemble the quirky characters on the TV parody Portlandia. And since last summer Portland, the state’s largest city, has hosted the longest continuous Black Lives Matter protests in the nation. But Portland is also one of the whitest large cities in America. How did it become a hotbed of racial reckoning?

A big part of the answer lies in the state’s history. Before Oregon became a state, it fashioned itself as a whites-only utopia. When it joined the union in 1859, it was then the only state with laws specifically prohibiting certain races from legally living, working, or owning property within its borders.

Oregon’s subsequent history is peppered with violence against minority groups. In 1887 a gang of white horse thieves murdered and mutilated 34 Chinese gold miners. No one was held accountable for the massacre. By the 1920s, one in 20 Oregonians was a card-carrying member of the Ku Klux Klan, the highest percentage of any state west of the Mississippi. In the 1970s separatists in the region proposed creating a white ethnostate called the “Northwest Territorial Imperative,” and in 1988 a group of white supremacists murdered an Ethiopian college student with a baseball bat, earning Portland the nickname “Skinhead City.”

Today, the state is politically divided by region. The rural east, home to cattle ranchers and farmers, is a conservative stronghold. Yet even many progressive residents in the state’s liberal western corridor—from artsy Ashland in the south to hippie Eugene in the center and hipster Portland up north—are unaware of Oregon’s dark history.
:snippity:
According to Stocks, Oregon’s settlers were afraid that Black people would conspire with Native tribes to threaten their growing monopoly over the land, and that their presence might also lead to slavery, which, ironically, the settlers were overwhelmingly against. They felt, says Stocks, that “it would devalue white labor to have Black labor here.”

That same year Oregon’s provisional government passed the Black Exclusion Bill, which included a section known as the “Lash Law.” It prohibited African Americans from entering the state, and required all former slaves who had settled in Oregon to leave. Those who failed to obey the order would be publicly flogged with "not less than 20 nor more than 39 stripes.”

When delegates later sat down to write the state’s constitution, they had to settle a thorny question: Should Oregon allow free Blacks to live in the state? Of some 10,000 white men allowed to vote on the matter, more than 8,500 said no. So it was that in 1859, Oregon became the first and only state to enter into the United States with such a prohibition in its constitution.


There are no known incidents of the lash law being enforced, and eventually it was struck from the books. Even so, historians agree that it dissuaded Black people from coming to Oregon.
:snippity:
By 1940, there were fewer than 2,500 Blacks among Oregon’s 1.5 million residents.
:snippity:
Oregon has been slow to correct its historic wrongdoings. The Black exclusion clause wasn't removed from its constitution until 1926, and the state didn’t ratify the 15th Amendment, giving Black citizens the right to vote, until 1959—nearly a century after it was added to the U.S. Constitution. Not until 1973 did Oregon fully ratify the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, granting citizenship and equal protection to African Americans.
:snippity:
Randolph came to Portland in 2019 by way of Georgia, Texas, and Alabama. But Oregon, she says, is the most racist place she’s lived. “I fought really hard to get out here,” she says. “I watched Portlandia and thought that’s what it’d be like.” It wasn’t. She rattles off a few of her most degrading moments as a new, Black Portland resident: her new colleagues questioned her credentials, the police were called to confirm her presence on campus, she was chased with a broom while trying to access her office.

In the fall, Randolph accepted a job in Minneapolis and began packing up her life in Oregon.

“In the South, people tell you they’re racist,” she says. “In Portland, it’s so insidious. Do you prefer the liberal fox or the snarling wolf?”

When Portland banned blacks: Oregon’s shameful history as an ‘all-white’ state

In 1844, all black people were ordered to get out of Oregon Country the expansive territory under American rule that stretched from the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains.
:snippity:
Oregon Country’s provisional government, which was led by Peter Burnett, a former slaver holder who came west from Missouri by wagon train, passed the law in 1844 — 15 years before Oregon became a state. The law allowed slave holders to keep their slaves for a maximum of three years. After the grace period, all black people — those considered freed or enslaved — were required to leave Oregon Country. Black women were given three years to get out; black men were required to leave in two.

The law became known as the “Peter Burnett Lash Law.” Burnett, who also opposed Chinese migration to Oregon Country, would later become the first American governor of California.

The “Lash Law” was quickly amended and then repealed. No black people were ever lashed under the law.

But the act would become the first of three “exclusion laws” that shaped the Pacific Northwest, banning any additional black people from coming to Oregon Country. Those laws created what one African American professor calls “a very hostile environment” that has long made Oregon and its largest city, Portland, a stronghold for white supremacists like Jeremy Joseph Christian, the man accused of killing two men and severely wounding another on a light-rail train last month.

Few people are aware of Oregon’s history of blatant racism, including its refusal to ratify the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution.

In 1848, the territorial government passed a law making it illegal for any “Negro or Mullatto” to live in Oregon Country
. In 1850, under the Oregon Donation Land Act, “whites and half breed Indians” were granted 650 acres of land from the government. But any other person of color was excluded from claiming land in Oregon. In 1851, Jacob Vanderpool, the black owner of a saloon, restaurant and boarding home, was actually expelled from Oregon territory.

“The exclusion laws were primarily intended to prevent blacks from settling in Oregon, not to kick out those who were already here,” according to Salem Public Library records. But Vanderpool’s neighbor “reported him for the crime of being black in Oregon, and Judge Thomas Nelson gave him thirty days to leave the territory.”

In 1857, as Oregon sought to become a state, it wrote the exclusion of blacks into its constitution: “No free negro or mulatto, not residing in this State at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall ever come, reside, or be within this State, or hold any real estate, or make any contract, or maintain any suit therein; and the Legislative Assembly shall provide by penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such free negroes and mulattoes, and for their effectual exclusion from the State, and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the State, or employ or harbor them therein.”

When Oregon entered the Union in 1859 — it did so as a “whites-only” state. The original state constitution banned slavery, but also excluded nonwhites from living there.


“Oregon is the only state in the United States that actually began as literally whites-only,” said Winston Grady-Willis, director of Portland State University’s School of Gender, Race and Nations. “Even though there was subsequent legislation that challenged those statutes, the statutes were not removed from the books until 1922.”

Grady-Willis added: “It’s really important for folks to understand this notion of Oregon as this lily-white state sets the tone and is important structurally for the remainder of history of not only the state, but cities like Portland as well.”

Portland’s reputation as a progressive city is largely a myth, he said. Portland remains the whitest, large city in United States. According to a July 2015 Census report, the city of 612,206 people, was 77.6 percent white; and 5.8 percent black. Grady-Willis called it “a key site for Klan activity."
:snippity:
Oregon has a defiant history of resisting federal laws that gave black people rights.

Karen Gibson, associate professor in Portland State’s Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning, said Oregon rescinded its initial ratification of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” including former slaves.

Oregon was one of just six states that refused to ratify the 15th Amendment, which gave black men the right to vote.


Oregon did not ratify the 15th amendment until 1959 — one hundred years after the state joined the Union. It was a symbolic adoption as part of its centennial celebration. It did not re-ratify the 14th amendment until 1973.

“Many of the white settlers who came here came for the Oregon Land Donation Act. This place was intentionally settled by whites for whites,” Gibson said.

"They did not want slavery here. They didn’t want land taken over by large plantations so they didn’t have to compete with bonded labor. But they also thought blacks were inferior. That is still here. White supremacy is about that: the beliefs that whites were supreme.”

Darrell Millner, professor emeritus in Portland State’s Black Studies Department, said many early Oregon settlers were opposed to slavery “not because of what it did to blacks but because of what it did to them. Slavery represented a competition they did not wish to work against.”

Millner said Oregon became a place where “many practices we associate with the Jim Crow South were legal here.” In the 1920s, Oregon had the largest Ku Klux Klan organization west of the Mississippi River. In 1922, Walter Pierce, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, was elected governor of Oregon. Pierce served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1932 to 1942.

Oregon's hostility toward blacks remains part of the state’s culture.

“In the 1980s and ’90s, Oregon became a destination for the largest skinhead movement in the country,” Millner said. “Their objective was to achieve something pioneers tried to achieve here and that was to create a white homeland.”

Proud Boys come creeping back out of the woodwork, one hijacked local event at a time

While you might get the impression that the Proud Boys largely vanished from the public radar in the weeks following the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection in which they played a central role, the reality is that the proto-fascist street-thug organization has been popping up all over recently—but operating on a purely local level, consistently hijacking causes and events organized by local activists and communities.

This appears to be their latest strategy, as imprisoned Proud Boy Ethan Nordean had suggested in his pre-arrest Telegram chats: Namely, to scale down their operations and spread their recruitment by focusing on local issues. Over the past several weeks, as Tess Owen observes at VICE, they appear to be enacting it in places like Nashua, New Hampshire; Miami and Tampa, Florida; and Salem, Oregon.

“Since Jan. 6, members of the group have steered clear of large-scale rallies, and instead attempted to build grassroots support in their communities by latching onto hyper-local culture war dramas and ginning up tensions,” Owen writes.

In Nashua, as Owen reports, Proud Boys turned up at school board meetings, masked and wearing their uniform shirts, to protest “critical race theory” in local schools. Their presence riled local residents.

RIFT IN MIAMI PROUD BOYS AS GROUP ENGAGES IN LOCAL ACTIVISM, ENRIQUE TARRIO BUILDS ON ALLIANCE WITH PEOPLE’S RIGHTS

A rift appears to have developed in the Miami chapter of the Proud Boys, evidenced in Telegram posts circulated by at least two chapters and the far right MurderTheMedia channel. On August 1, the Seattle and American Redoubt (Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Western Montana) Proud Boys circulated a MurderTheMedia post claiming that Tarrio had been “disavowed” by the Miami chapter of the far right group by a 95% to 5% vote “in favor of his dismissal…with four members that chose to abstain from voting.”[1]

The statement, attributed to an “anonymous source,” claims that “Enrique Tarrio is no longer a member of the Miami Proud Boys.” MurderTheMedia was “seeking comment from Mr. Tarrio.”[2]

In the wake of multiple arrests of Proud Boys for their involvement in the January 6 nationalist insurrection, Tarrio had announced in June that he was stepping down as national chair to focus on local politics.[3] To date, at least 37 members of the far right, racist group have been arrested in connection to the violent assault on the Capitol, including at least 15 Proud Boy members or associates charged in four separate conspiracy cases.[4]

Proud Boys supporter pleads guilty to threatening Sen. Warnock with: 'Dead men' can't pass laws

The Washington Post reports that Eduard Florea, 41, of Queens, New York, faces 15 years in prison for threatening Warnock following his Senate runoff victory in Georgia. Florea wrote on the conservative social media site Parler that Warnock, a reverend by the way, "is going to have a hard time casting votes for communist policies when he’s swinging with the … fish.” Florea then wrote in another post referring to Warnock that: "Dead men can’t pass (expletive) laws.”

He pleaded guilty to transmitting threats to injure and possessing ammunition after a felony conviction, according to a news release from the office of Jacquelyn M. Kasulis, acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

The day before the insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol January 6, Florea, who admitted to supporting the Proud Boys, called for an attack in Washington, posting both: “We need to all come to an agreement . . . and go armed . . . and really take back Washington,” and “Tomorrow may very [well] be the day war kicks off . . .”

“With today’s guilty plea, Florea admits to threatening the life of a successful candidate for U.S. Senate and to urging others to take up arms to unleash violence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, to thwart the results of the Presidential election,” Kasulis said in the release.

According to The Mercury News, apparently taking a page from the insurrectionists, Michael Anthony Gallagher is accused of sending Rep. Waters a death threat using a racial slur signed on behalf of the Ku Klux Klan. “The Sheriff of Stanislaus County says you and your (expletives) are (expletive),” Gallagher allegedly wrote on a postcard sent Jan. 8, 2019. “We will successfully put a bullet in your head. -+KKK.” He was charged with a federal crime on Wednesday, The Mercury News reported.

Portland needs to do something about this, and if they won't the state.

1. Antifa needs to stay home. The Proud Boys are doing their thing to get a reaction. Don't give it to them.

2. If this continues because Antifa won't' stay home (or has some folks who are there only to intentionally start issues with the stupid boys), the Portland Police needs to start making arrests. If they see violence, they arrest some though they need not get all. If they cry self-defense, well, that's the court's job to figure out. Going through the whole booking process may dissuade some. It would especially be useful to deter those who may already have outstanding warrants or probation/release requirements (which I know some do).

3. If the Portland Police don't do their job, can the county or state police step in?

Too add to it.. they need to start taking those photos of the Proud Boys and figure out who was destroying the van, and other vehicle damage and go after them. For those that crossed boundaries for it, time for the FBI to join in.

Twitter is full of photos of the PBs, the attack on the van and the van driver, and other mayhem.

I keep reading articles trying to figure out what's going on in Portland, because it looks like there is ongoing violence between two groups who are doing significant damage to property.

And I keep reading reports that LE says it's not going to interfere. Due to limited resources.

Talk about your red flags.

How did all counter-protesters become "antifa?" If wearing all black means you're antifa, as the original news article says, I'm screwed as are many artists. 90% of my wardrobe is black clothing. How about we stop calling anyone who is against the Proud Boys antifa unless they actually are antifa.
