11. There was a time when there actually were Antifa FB pages

Around the time of the BLM Protests.

I followed 2 of them:
Emerald City Antifa
Rose City Antifa

They basically were information clearing houses. I learned quite a bit about the RW Militia provocateurs that came into Portland (and continue to come into Portland), and about Mutual Aid efforts to help the homeless populations in the PNW. Things like people pulling bike trailers around Tacoma handing out sandwiches and clean needles.

I have no idea if the pages were run by 1 person, or an "organization", but they went dark quite a while ago when Mike Reinoehl was gunned down in the street by US Marshals in Lacey WA. Probably read the writing on the wall.

I also actually saw with my own eyes (probable) Antifa members carrying an Antifa flag at a BLM protest in NE Seattle. Well, they might have been kids that bought an Antifa flag online. I got a screen-printed sign from them. I was the oldest person in the march. I was 57 or 58. Such a young idealist...
