Patriot Prayer, that far-right Vancouver, WA group that often attracts white supremacists, is holding another of its infamously awful rallies at Terry Schrunk Plaza on June 3 at 5 pm. It's almost exactly a year after Patriot Prayer held a "Trump Free Speech Rally" at the same location. According to the event's Facebook page, this year's protest will be their version of a goodbye party for a Patriot Prayer member named Tusitala Toese, or "Tiny." He's moving to American Samoa.

Toese was detained earlier this week for carrying a firearm on the University of Washington campus. He also was arrested twice at different Portland protests in 2017, on charges of disorderly conduct, harassment, assault.

Just like last year's protest, which took place days after the deadly MAX stabbings, it won't be the only rally taking place in the vicinity of Portland City Hall. One, an "Anti Police Brutality Solidarity Rally" in Chapman Square, will protest the Portland Police Bureau's response to last year's protests, where police rounded up and detained some 200 Patriot Prayer counter-protesters.

Another, "Call to Resist Patriot Prayer Bringing Nazis to Portland," is a pretty direct counter-protest. It'll kick-off in Terry Shrunk Plaza exactly at 4 pm, an hour before Patriot Prayer people are supposed to begin their rally in Terry Shrunk Plaza. Yikes.

Oh, and to start the day off right, a group of Buddhists will hold a very peaceful public meditation beforehand, at 1 pm.

We'll be there.
