As someone who loves both unicorns and horror, I have mixed feeling about this scene.

Anonymous asked: Hey, so was that whole thing with the concrete milkshakes true? I here a lot of liberals and centrists bitching about it but I'm not seeing any reliable proof that there were milkshakes actually laced concrete being thrown at anyone. Apparently that whole Andy Ngo fiasco is nonsense

antifaintl:

1000% nonsense. Here’s how that started: the fine, upstanding members of the Portland Police Bureau tweeted that they had “received information” that anti-fascists were mixing quick-dry concrete into milkshakes for to chucking @ fascists. Of course, when reporters followed up by asking what evidence they had of this, the cops had to admit they had no evidence!

So why would a police force do something like making up a scary story about the dangerous antifa and then posting it on social media for all to see when it was a complete fabrication on their part?

Maybe because this is the same police force that shot a flashbang grenade at the head of an anti-fascist last year, nearly killing him;
Maybe because this is the same police force that was regularly texting right wing extremist leaders and advising them on things like how to keep their most violent members from being arrested;

Maybe because this is the same police force that found right-wing extremists with sniper rifles on top of a parkade roof overlooking the site of a conflict between their side and ant-fascists and didn’t bother to do anything about it.

It’s almost as if the Portland Police Bureau are so clearly & obviously on the side of fascists and so violently opposed to anti-fascists that they should simply be regarded as the best-armed, most dangerous wing of the racist extremist right in that city. Hmm.
As for Andy Ngo - well, we wrote about that bigot/grifter here.

In The 1700s An Enslaved Massachusetts Woman Sued For Her Freedom — And Won -

npr:

Nearly 250 years ago, a group of white men gathered in a house in Massachusetts to draft a document on independence aimed at the British crown. A woman who was enslaved in the house overheard the discussion and determined that the words applied to her, too.
Bett, who was later called Mumbet, was born enslaved south of Albany, N.Y., around 1742. In her teens, Bett was brought to the home of John and Hannah Ashley in Sheffield, Mass., where she cleaned, cooked and served the family.
In the upstairs study in January 1773, John Ashley and 10 other men gathered to write what became known as the Sheffield Resolves.
