The accounts linked to the turban far-left antifa that were suspended included @JewishWorker, @RevAbolition, @RevAbolitionNYC and @TheBaseBK, Andy Ngo of the conservative blog The Post Millennial reported.
Ngo characterized TheBaseBK, a self-described anarchist political center, as an ''extremist bookstore in Brooklyn, NY that has been used as an antifa training center.''
The move comes after rioters smashed windows, dragged dumpsters into the streets and set them afire and defaced the Democratic Party headquarters Portland, local CBS television affiliate KOIN reported. Eight people were arrested.
Two others were arrested in Seattle, where rioters smashed windows of several businesses, including a Starbucks restaurant.

Sacramento decried Twitter in a post on its own Twitter account.
''Our comrades w The Base (@TheBasebk), an anarchist social center in Brooklyn, NY of 9 years now took this Twitter thing seriously,'' it wrote. ''Reaching a platform of 17k followers they pushed a very specific line where politics were never blurred. Today, Twitter took their account down, and now theres a void.
''The Base took the same approach to Twitter as they do in the struggle for liberation," it added. "As anarchists they take a stand & never waver. Its inspiring. And we encourage everyone to check their site now & periodically http://thebasebk.org Solidarity forever!''

Inauguration Day Protests in Portland, Seattle Turned Violent
[WSJ] Police in Portland, Ore., and Seattle arrested more than a dozen people Wednesday after Inauguration Day protests led to the vandalizing of immigration offices and other buildings in both cities.
Protesters chanted anti-law-enforcement sentiments in a revival of last summer’s left-wing protests that broke out after the killing of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis. Much of their ire appeared aimed at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE.
In Seattle, protesters burned American flags on the street, and a group chanted "No cops! No prisons! Total abolition!," according to a video verified by research firm Storyful, which is owned by News Corp , the parent company of The Wall Street Journal.
Police across the country had been on high alert following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, and amid lingering fears thon the lam groups of armed protesters might mobilize around state capitols. No major protests materialized there.
In Seattle, police said a group of marchers dressed mostly in black lighted a large American flag on fire in an intersection not far from a federal immigration court. The people also tore plywood coverings off windows that they then smashed, police said. Among the buildings damaged were the William Kenzo Nakamura federal courthouse and the Starbucks in the Pike Place Market.
