Mike Baker, who covers the American Northwest for The Times, spent Monday night in
Portland, where protesters from all walks of life — from those who identify with antifa to
a “Wall of Moms” — have been demonstrating for more than 50 straight days. Unrest
there has escalated as the Trump administration has cracked down on demonstrations,
sending armed federal agents into the city, some of whom have used tear gas and pulled
protesters into unmarked vans. Find some of Mr. Baker’s tweets and video stills below.1 9:27 p.m.The protest crowds in Portland
continue to grow in response to the arrival of
the feds. There are probably about 2,
people here right now in front of the Justice
Center, with moms in yellow lined up in front,
stretching across a whole block.(^2) 10:08 p.m. “FED GOONS OUT OF PDX” is
now projected on the Justice Center.
(^3) 11:42 p.m.As protesters kicked the wood-
en facade of the federal courthouse, one of the
people inside opened a window and dropped
the first tear gas canister of the night.
12:31 a.m. The feds came rushing out ag-
gressively. Throwing people to the ground, tear
gas, firing less-lethals. One ran at me and
punched me in the head, knocked me to the
ground. I’m OK.
1:02 a.m.Officers are firing paintball-style
guns at a line of barricaded protesters across
the street.
(^4) 3:24 a.m.Protesters assess some of the
munitions that the feds used tonight.

The Conversation
FOUR OF THE MOST READ,
SHARED AND DISCUSSED POSTS

In April, my colleague Farhad Manjoo
wrote a piece about how parents were
burning out. Now it’s July. And the stress
and exhaustion of the pandemic are not
going away.
Inger Burnett-Zeigler, a clinical psychol-
ogist and associate professor of psychiatry
and behavioral sciences at Northwestern
University, advised parents to “take a
critical eye at the multiple demands being
placed on you at the moment. Consider
which of those are serving you and your
family, and which demands you can step
away from.”
If your kids are not at camp or day care,
all of the experts I spoke to said that hav-
ing some kind of structure to the day is
essential, but that structure doesn’t need
to feel confining. Nina Essel, a licensed
social worker and parent coach in New
Jersey, said schedules work best when the
whole family has similar expectations.
Ms. Essel suggested sitting down to-
gether and dividing activities into three
categories: nonnegotiables; things you
want to see happen; and things you would
like to see happen. If you have older kids,
include them in this decision-making, and
break out the sticky notes to write down
different activities and rearrange them
according to family priorities.
Pooja Lakshmin, a clinical assistant
professor of psychiatry at the George
Washington University School of Medicine
and Health Sciences, said that “forcing
your brain to think about some of thepositives, no matter how small they are,”
can help ameliorate burnout. Try keeping
a journal, and every night write down one
thing you did well as a parent.
Dr. Lakshmin said that parents in gen-
eral, but mothers especially, should not
just consider the risks of the coronavirus,
but also the risks to their mental health
when deciding about child care. “When
women think about this, we’re so condi-
tioned to put ourselves second and to only
think about the risks involved with the
virus,” she said, adding that you have to
force yourself to think about the risks to
your emotional health and your values.
