1/3 Shoutout to @coryelia.bsky.social for bringing this article to my attention this morning. It is appalling to say the least — but not surprising that Central City Concern has been accused of neglecting the very people they claim to help.

Torch Antifa Network @torchantifa.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Today's designation uses our network member Rose City Antifa to justify the designation, falsely claiming that Rose City Antifa uses Autistici/Inventati services. RCA does not use A/I services, which is plainly evident by going to their website. rosecityantifa.org (notice no noblogs domain).
Oregon-based Rose City Antifa has relied on A/I Collective tools and services to organize and incite violent and criminal acts domestically, including an attack on Customs and Border Patrol helicopters that led to a federal indictment. Rose City Antifa also used A/I Collective tools and services to disseminate doxing lists and release illegally obtained personal information of Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with calls for targeted attacks on ICE agents in the streets and “in their homes.”

As suspected, the company used to erect the fence around the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR was the same used in #PortlandOR during 2020-2021. From today's article by KLCC regarding the cost of the fence: $269,225
An excerpt from KLCC's article published today about the cost of the fence. It reads: 

"Premier Global Production Company has received 18 federal contracts since FY 2008 worth a total of $5,397,123. PGP is listed as a small U.S.-based business.

Past contracts include multiple having to do with the installation of fencing around Portland’s Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse in 2020 and 2021. The courthouse was the site of nightly Black Lives Matter protests.

PGP’s website advertises its work on lighting and stages, listing several well-known music acts and festivals as its customers. It does not mention barriers or fencing despite being described in its federal contractor profile as “Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors.”

Neither the GSA or PGP returned requests for comment from KLCC."

After lots of well-guided speculation, we now have proof that far-right propagandists in Portland have been directly coordinating—through at least text message—with ICE agents. In this case, Chelly got permission from a "Travis D." inside to stand on a half-wall off limits to protesters.

4/4 Then, on Aug. 23, 2024, PPB's photos began to trickle out via an unsurprising source: a thread by Andy Ngo on Twitter. He posted over a dozen individuals' photos until Oct. 3. The thread remained unupdated until Sept. 21 of this year, when he added one more individual's photos.

2/4 I watched as countless protesters and members of the press were photographed and let out one by one. Duct tape with their full legal name and birth date was slapped across each person's chest. The "crime" for which over 100 people, including the press, were detained? A few broken windows.
