This is pretty shocking.
Mike Bivens was a big part of the independent coverage of PNW's far-right protests back in the day. I got him a paid photo credit when I was interviewed in the New Republic (below). Now attacking Jewish, black, and Muslim buildings... wow.
"[T]he reason why we take actions matters – and they have different effects,” he explained. “When you spray paint ‘Die Juden’ on a #synagogue, you don’t just inconvenience a building owner, you intimidate an entire community — and that’s what these bias crimes are about.”
Bivins’ rampage began April 30, 2022, when he smashed a window at Congregation Shir Tikvah, an east #Portland synagogue, and broke a window at Everybody Eats PDX, a Black-owned restaurant in the Pearl.
He then #vandalized Congregation Beth Israel in Northwest Portland and, on May 3, used an accelerant to set fire to the back of the #Muslim Community Center in North Portland, according to surveillance footage."
