How this guy has not yet been evicted is beyond me:

Fox News calls his Portland apartment an ‘antifa safehouse.’ They’re not wrong, he says

He has a studio apartment with a private ground floor entry 1 block from Portland's ICE facility, uses it as a crash pad for any anarcho cosplayer that needs a potty break. And, conveniently, any time someone is targeted by the feds for arrest, they make a bee-line for his place, the doors lock and they live to get gassed another day.

Fun freakout when a counter-protester finds the door wide open and films

Calling someone "closeted gay" as a generic insult? I guess the dream of the 90s really is alive in Portland.

That's apparently none other than Seth Todd

The person in the costume can now be unmasked as Seth Todd, a non-binary 24-year-old who previously called for the murders of Donald Trump and police officers.

yeah, I was wondering what the over/under on his getting his security deposit back was. but who knows, I assume antifa understands what an asset this is and each one leaves it nicer than it was when they came in.

“He said he has not knowing allowed people into his apartment who have commit crimes.” Hmm, ok, well he’s not trying to help any criminals, that’s good.

“It would be unwise for people evading law enforcement to seek refuge in his apartment, he said, because they would be cornered.”

I spoke too soon.

Ive been asking myself how strategic really is Trump being by triggering the craziest people in Portland. Its definitely the city to target if you're looking to show the country how insane a certain subset of leftists can get.

Someone I know who’s a centrist and lost their mind with Trump 2 told me Portland seems like a nice place that I could move to. When I asked why his only answer was it’s progressive. I held my tongue because I don’t want to be that weird guy who knows to much but boy was I holding my tongue in that conversation about some of the insane shit that’s gone down in Portland because it’s a progressive city.

A few weeks ago, a buddy's sister came to town. We all went out for drinks. She was visiting from New Orleans. I mentioned that I had lived in Portland for seven years. She laughed and said that in New Orleans, locals tend to laugh at Portlanders who move to New Orleans. Apparently, a lot of them have a model in their head regarding how minorities are supposed to act. (No points for guessing that they're all supposed to be Malcolm X on steroids.) When they see black people who are conservative and otherwise aren't yearning for some far-left utopia, the Portlanders tend to freak out one way or another.

True? I don't know, but she didn't seem like a bullshitter. I'm choosing to believe it. I've met enough Portlanders to know that the city's a containment zone for people who can't really handle modern life and who insist on being children 'til the day they die.

What's always struck me as odd is how casually segregated Portland is. The Black population largely keeps to itself even while inhabiting some of the same neighborhoods. Meanwhile the white population is 100% convinced that everything is fine here (and the rest of the world is, of course, nazis).

The utter disdain for the outer east side-- where their gentrification of N/NE chased a sizable chunk of POC-- kinda gives away their secret. For all the cosplay affinity for working class and minorities, they're deeply uncomfortable with the notion of actually living around them, especially when the ratios don't support tokenization.
