​Keith Porter Sr. visited the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest yesterday, 2/3, and also spoke at Houston City Council Public Comment Session yesterday. 

Above you see Mr. Porter at the protest and below you see him at council. 

Mr. Porter, who lives in Houston, spoke about the life of his son Keith Jr., and about how justice must be served in holding the off-duty ICE officer who killed Mr. Porter in Los Angeles accountable. 

​Here is a story about the shooting from The Guardian. 

Here is my six minute interview with Mr. Porter at the Cornyn Protest. Mr. Porter spoke at the 1 hour 16 minute point of the HTV feed of yesterday's council meeting. 

Mr Porter would like you to hear him out, know who his son was and advocate for justice and freedom. 

​​I went to an anti-ICE, pro-freedom protest in Galveston on Sunday, 2/1. There were estimates of up to 700 people in attendance. Above you see a picture of some of the crowd. 

Below you see two Galveston police wearing masks at the protest. Multiple people asked the total off the masks, but they did not. I don't know why we need masked city police. 

Going to Galveston for this protest brought make this memory for me: 

I attended a protest in Galveston yesterday, 2/1. I drove down from Houston. I saw the people who protest & do stuff there. There were 700 people I read. I knew a small number of them.

It’s like back in the day in Cincinnati, where I went to local punk shows in Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus & Louisville. They had their own scenes. In some cases you’d get to know some of the people. Sometimes they’d come to Cincinnati.

It was all self-starting. People decided to form bands, find places to play, print a zine, go to Kinkos to print the flyers & show up to see the bands.

There are many different grassroots protest & political scenes in the Houston-region. A lot of organic stuff.
Folks with the willingness & autonomy to act against toxic systems are leading the fight against ICE & authoritarianism. We are self-organizing & getting to know each other. We are going to need each other.

If you want to take part, then please do. If you don’t, nobody is really interested in the reasons for your absence. Start your own scene. Do your own thing.
