   "Prior to the sweep this morning, DHS agents had been trying to arouse and disorient and disrupt protestors over the past few nights. Threatening dad rock with lyrics like “sleep with one eye open” was played at high volume...
   Agents were seen making hand gestures of guns and pantomimed shooting at protesters."

      This is what a police state looks like. This should not be shocking to folks paying attention. Black, Native, Latinx folks have dealt with the violence and brutality of this system since police forces were formed to catch runaway slaves.

      Peaceful demonstrators, mutual aid and community support in a beautiful camp in #pdx... and this is what our government sends
