Lots of new stuff from last night and this morning about the port protests. Enjoy:

Rob Richards did a great job of citizen journalism with NewsFlash from the Port

psynobi9 writes about On the resistance to the militarization of the port of olympia

purplejennifer has an Update from tonight:

At one point all the cops put on gas masks. People sat down in front of the cops. A cop said that anyone who doesn't want to people sprayed better move. At that point striker vehicles were moving out of the marine drive entrance. We all ran over there.

listening has two updates: Atleast 37 Women Arrested at Port of Olympia and Women being released from jail right now!

Chia would like to Put the Passion and Creative Energy of Port Protesters to work for the City of Olympia:

Wouldn't it be preferable to put the passion and creative energy of the compassionate citizens of Olympia to work finding ways to bring income to our City without a military contract than to continue to require the police force to brutalize the idealistic young and young of heart who only want to reduce the suffering in our world rather than feel the heavy weight of the responsibility of having stood by and done nothing to stop injustice from happening?

Rick posted up a couple of videos, Police Violence in Olympia #1 and Police Violence in Olympia #2
