Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Happy Death of James Cook day to those who celebrate. On 14 February 1779 British explorer Captain James Cook was killed as he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii, and hold him hostage for the return of a cutter which Hawaiians had stolen.

If you don't feel like you have a specific skill or thing to contribute that's special, sometimes willingness to do things just because they need doing is special enough. Showing up isn't a talent, but it's something you can do.

Please honor James’ memory by getting screened for colorectal cancer. Make the call today if you are 45 or have a family history. Rates are surging among young people. Catching it early is the best way to survive it.

Hey, Portland Public Schools parents! We just got a survey via email about our opinion on using AI in school. Please take a minute to fill out the survey and let PPS know that you’re opposed to this attack on human critical thinking and creativity and that AI has no place in our schools.

I’ve so far transcended woke status that I want the superbowl halftime show in TaΓ­no actually. I blame the libs for reminding me 750 times that English isn’t America’s first language either.

How many evangelical youth pastors barely making enough money to survive use that position of authority to do the same thing? The depravity of men willing to abuse has nothing to do with class. Any type of control or authority works for them regardless of class or net worth.

I am hearing folks who have never been involved in putting together a protest or protecting one talking about how silly and frivolous "opsec" concerns are, and I want to say directly: you have no idea what you are talking about.

People have been killed for getting made famous by the press.

β€œPeople need to go there for appointments though”

Shut the fuck up. Maybe the city of Portland should have thought of that before they let an affordable housing apartment building go up across the street? Is environmental racism and classism ok suddenly?

I’m going to be salty for a long while that whoever chose that location for this kind of rally didn’t inform the people they invited of the possibilities. Really shows some ignorance and magical thinking.

It’s awful and I hate it here. I wish kids had not been there and that no one had gotten gassed yesterday.
