“We are not here to police people’s protests. But please do not bust out small businesses’ windows!” the person on a bullhorn says.
“Are you tired?” a leader with a bullhorn yells. “No!” the crowd yells. “Get angry! Get Loud! Act like you give a fuck who our next president is!”
This is one of my favorite chants and I have dubbed it one of the summer’s hottest jams. “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up motherfucker, wake up!”pic.twitter.com/kW9wA6j5eY
New to me and easily a new favorite, the crowd chants: “Bounce, bounce, bounce for Breonna!”pic.twitter.com/rmASV4ns4K
Assembly still marching east on SE Belmont. There are scores of neighbors watching or pumping their fists in doorways, on rooftops, on balconies.
A handful of marchers with bullhorns are running up to houses and encouraging residents to join the march. “I have to go to school tomorrow!” one shouts, when someone presumably says they can’t join because of a commitment tomorrow.

After marching through the SE Belmont business hub around SE 34th, the assembly seems about to pass SE 39th. After much speculation that this group was headed downtown, it certainly seems like they either aren’t going there tonight or they won’t be there for quite a while.

The marchers returned to Revolution Hall after what a three-hour march. Their numbers dwindled along the way so they returned with only a couple hundred demonstrators. Now there’s a small gathering of protesters by the downtown Portland Justice Center.pic.twitter.com/IDvHkduJWa
