  • Booksellers, the First Amendment, and Controversial Texts
    January 2020 Tuesday Topic: Booksellers, The First Amendment, and Controversial Texts Welcome to Tuesday Topics, a monthly series covering topics with intellectual freedom implications for libraries of all types. Each message is prepared by a member of OLA's Intellectual Freedom Committee or a guest writer. Questions can be directed to the author of the topic or to the IFC Committee. Booksellers, the First Amendment, and Controversial Texts In the wake of the January 6th attack on the US Capitol, at least two booksellers have either elected to remove titles related to white supremacist violence from sale, or been pressed to do so by concerned citizens. Amazon.com has removed The Turner Diaries from its store, along with merchandise associated with the group QAnon, citing violation of its terms of service. The Turner Diaries, which was published in 1978 by William Luther Pierce under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald, depicts a fictional coup in the US conducted by an underground group of white supremacists. It has been cited as a foundational text by modern racist and white nationalist groups, most famously in relation to the 1995 bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City. The availability of Andy Ngo’s forthcoming book, Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, on the Powell’s Books website was the subject of protests in Portland during the week following the Capitol attack, as well. Powell’s has chosen to continue to sell the book through its online store, but will not carry physical copies of the books on its shelves. In an open letter published on the Powell’s website, President and owner Emily Powell cited the bookstore’s continued support of freedom of speech and public discourse in the decision to retain the title.

  • The Oregonian Portland Mayor and Chief Warn Protest Instigators
    The Oregonian Portland mayor and chief warn protest instigators: Expect stern police response By Gordon Friedman August 6, 2019 Demonstrators wishing to commit acts of violence or vandalism during a gathering planned for Aug. 17 in Portland should expect to be met with the full force of the law, Mayor Ted Wheeler and Police Chief Danielle Outlaw warned on Monday. In an interview at City Hall with The Oregonian/OregonLive, the pair, who collectively lead Portland’s police force, voiced their toughest stance yet against people using the cloak of free speech as a pretext to brawl on city streets. Wheeler stated repeatedly — 18 times in all — that he rejects the violence and subversion of free speech perpetrated by demonstrators, regardless of their politics. He promised a zero-tolerance approach, saying anyone who breaks the law during the demonstration next week should expect swift action by the police and raised the prospect of “mass arrests.” He indicated an extra-large presence of law enforcement officers, from outside agencies as well as the Portland Police Bureau, will be on hand to ensure that happens. And the mayor issued a stern repudiation of would-be instigators: “We don’t want you,” he said. He added, “But if you do come, we will be ready for you.” That echoes a message delivered by Outlaw, who said, “Don’t come. We don’t want you here. I don’t care what side you’re on.’’ Right-wing activists from around the country have indicated they plan to hold an “End Domestic Terrorism” gathering on Aug.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks at the Turning Point U.S.A. Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida December 21, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much. Thank you, everybody. What a group. What a group. What a group. I also want to thank a true American legend and a beloved national hero, Rush Limbaugh. Thank you, Rush. You know, I don't know if you know it or not: He's got like 39 million people listening. He's been—from day one, he's been so incredible. Good times, bad times, he doesn't waver, because he's tough as hell. He makes like—they tell me he makes like $50 million a year. And it may be—that may be on the low side. So if anybody wants to be a nice conservative talk show host, it's not a bad living. I will say. But I have to say, he's a very unique guy, and he's a great man, and he's been a great friend. So thank you to Rush. Thank you. And let me begin by wishing you a beautiful—look, do you remember this? Do you remember they were trying to take "Christmas" out of Christmas? Do you remember? Audience members. Boo! The President. They didn't want to let you say "Merry Christmas." You would go around, you'd see department stores that have everything—red, snow, beautiful ribbons, bows. Everything was there, but they wouldn't say "Merry Christmas." They're all saying "Merry Christmas" again.

  • Violence and Restraint Within Antifa: a View from the United States by Nigel Copsey and Samuel Merrill
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 14, Issue 6 Violence and Restraint within Antifa: A View from the United States by Nigel Copsey and Samuel Merrill Abstract In recent months recurrent calls have been made by conservative right-wing politicians to designate Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” in the United States. Fixated on the spectacle of its Black Bloc tactics they have equated Antifa, what is essentially an ad-hoc, non-hierarchical, geographically dispersed social movement comprised of local autonomous activist groups, with organized violent extremists. And yet, the evidence for such an equation has been mostly limited to a handful of instances that usually bare the hallmarks of political exaggeration or are alternatively attributable to individuals loosely associated with the Antifa movement. Why is this so? How do militant anti-fascists in the US understand violence and exercise restraint in their use of it? This article seeks an answer to these questions based on interviews with activists from Portland’s Rose City Antifa, one of the United States’ most well-known Antifa groups, and an analysis of a collection of the group’s Tweets. It reveals that Antifa exercises considerable restraint, internally and externally, with regards to both the literal and rhetorical use of violence within its street and digital activism. In turn it calls upon others to exercise reciprocal levels of restraint by ceasing their labelling of Antifa as a “domestic terrorist” organization. Keywords: Antifa, anti-fascism, restraint, violence, terrorism, street activism, digital activism I would say if we describe violence as being like, you know, a Richard Spencer face punch, I would say based on simply being a fascist, all fascists deserve, at a minimum, a Richard Spencer face punch.[1] I don’t think that people necessarily will go off the handle.

These insights are generated by Blackbird.AI’s AI-driven disinformation analysis platform. This analyzed 119,069,559 social media posts, between MAY 2 - MAY 20, 2020 with over surfaced as manipulated with a . 32,148,780 posts Blackbird Manipulation Index (BBMI) of 27% Blackbird.AI’s Constellation Platform clusters and visualizes entities (e.g. hashtags, URLs, images) in 3-D space to illuminate underlying narratives within social media discourse. Constellation's graphing capability visualizes narratives as nodes, forming coherent visual concepts. When combined with Blackbird's proprietary machine learning algorithms, Constellation reveals the critical threats worthy of further investigation which aids analysts in discerning anomalous patterns and harmful influence campaigns rapidly and efficiently. In the visual shown above, the cluster in the upper-left represents a far-right conspiracy cluster (blue) on one side of the ecosystem and a “StayAtHome” group driving a counter-narrative on the other side (green) In a time of widespread uncertainty, panic, economic pressures and geopolitical tensions, the value of information clarity and integrity has never been greater. 2020 has been a pressure cooker of consecutive changes with countries declaring state of emergencies and implementing sudden lockdown measures that have resulted in uncharted levels of isolation among the public. These changes have forced global communities to adapt and deal with a newfound fear and paranoia against the virus, our governments and even our livelihoods.

  • [FINAL] Portland Protests 2020: CRC Summary and Recommendations
    Portland Protests 2020: Citizen Review Committee Summary and Recommendations Presented by the Crowd Control and Use of Force Workgroup Citizen Review Committee Authors: Candace Avalos (Chair) Sylvan Fraser Taylor Snell Yume Delegato Community Member Authors: Barbara Christiansen Elizabeth Knight Michael Walsh Justine Vernigan Melora Golden Jake Dockter 1 I. Executive Summary The purpose of the Citizen Review Committee’s Crowd Control and Use of Force workgroup (CCUFWG) is to critically examine the Portland Police Bureau’s (PPB) use of force policies, training, and tactics in order to make recommendations based on best practices and legal standards. In response to the murder of George Floyd by police in May 2020, thousands of Portlanders took to the streets daily for months in protest of police brutality and the disproportionate impact on communities of color. During these protests, many concerning confrontations between Portland Police and the community occurred. In response, this workgroup set out to gather community input about what was happening on the ground at protests through a public forum and online surveys. This document compiles the information we gathered and the recommendations we have generated based on thorough analysis of community feedback, discussion with PPB leadership, and review of existing policies, established best practices, and legal standards. Our recommendations for improved policing practices to facilitate the First Amendment rights of all Portlanders cover the categories of equipment use, de-escalation, bias, and training. The recommendations summarized below are explained and elaborated upon in Section IV of this report. ● Equipment Use Recommendations: ○ Make permanent the existing ban on the use of CS gas by PPB, and extend it to other chemical weapons used for crowd management.

  • The Oregonian Milkshake-Makers in Portland
    The Oregonian Milkshake-makers in Portland protests say they got death threats after police warned of ‘quick-drying cement’ By Diana Kruzman July 4, 2019 Since dueling groups of demonstrators met in violent clashes downtown Saturday, the organizers of the “queer dance protest” that served free vegan milkshakes have received death threats and online abuse, according to the Daily Dot. PopMob, short for Popular Mobilization – which describes itself as a group of “concerned Portlanders” dedicated to “inspiring people to show up and resist the alt-right” – organized the milkshake party in Lownsdale Square, according to the group’s Facebook page. Its goal was to stage a counterprotest against the right-wing Proud Boys and #HimToo movement, which was gathering to support men accused of sexual assault. Though the event page didn’t encourage attendees to throw the milkshakes, an unknown number were lobbed that day, including against conservative writer Andy Ngo, who also reported being assaulted by masked anti-fascist protesters. During the demonstrations, the Portland Police Bureau tweeted that it had “received information’’ that some of the milkshakes thrown contained quick-drying cement, though no physical evidence has thus far been released to back up this claim. The decision has since drawn national media attention and intense criticism online. “That cement milkshake tweet was like a death knell. We immediately started getting internet hate,” PopMob spokesperson Effie Baum told the Daily Dot. Baum said PopMob members had been told they should be put in a gas chamber or shot, and that personal information about them had been released online.
