We held a May Day rally, coordinated with other communist and SWANA groups in Portland to make connections with each other and with the local communities directly impacted by the genocide. There were speakers, musicians, posts, it was a lovely Big Red Tent.
Then the black bloc showed up during our march, lit off fireworks and assaulted a few people, so the march got called short. The SWANA groups we organized with were pissed. So many bridges were burned cause some anarchists who had nothing to do with organizing the event wanted to smash some windows.
They disrupted our event then complained online about tankies. Fucking fed shit.
Most of the local articles I’ve seen make no distinction between the rally, the march, or the library occupation. I’ll see if I can find anything better from smaller leftist sources.

Anything to read about this event?

This coverage isn’t terrible, and has video.
St Paul principles? Never heard of them
