@steter As if anyone would have given a fuck about the Super Bowl without two Black quarterbacks and a Blackity Black halftime show.

These plantation bosses need to go.

"Council Vice President Tiffany Koyama Lane noted the significance of Wednesday’s February 19 date– the 83rd anniversary of executive order 9066...

“My family was surveilled, stripped of their home, livelihood, and dignity,” Koyama Lane told the police chief and sergeant. “So my question is, how can we work together to make sure that history like this isn’t repeated?”

@steter That's the kind of ass kicking that we've been waiting to see from the Blazers.

Public displays of dipshittery at the library tells you a whole lot about a community and the culture it represents.

Went to school with a young woman originally from HB. She left home because older men in her family felt entitled to her body.

Woof. That culture. Thoughts with everyone having to sort out their experiences after growing up in HB.

This local raw pet food is killing animals by spreading bird flu to cats.

At least they admit there's a problem.

Football is an American tradition.

Today a pair of Black quarterbacks are playing a Super Bowl in the oldest chocolate city in the country.

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. On display.

New Orleans is a city where Black folks gave birth to American cultural traditions and nurture them to this day.

A handful of impotent men in a suite shouldn't distract anyone from history.

Remember pasty faced men left people in the Super Dome to die before Gen. Honoré rolled into town.

History doesn't blink.

Don't know who needs to hear this, but if you've made a partner orgasm, you have one less thing in common with a billionaire.

If you've cooked a meal for yourself without a microwave, you have one less thing in common with a billionaire.

If you remember what the posted minimum wage signs said at any place you've worked, you have one less thing in common with a billionaire.

If you've heard the word "no" at all in your lifetime, and kept your part of the social contract, you have one less thing in common with a billionaire.

If you've ever filed a simple 1040EZ in the past, you have one less thing in common with a billionaire.

This week is both an intelligence and compassion test for Portland leadership. Snow is in the forecast one way or another through next Saturday.

The last administration failed to react to inclement weather in a humane way. See if this new batch can make the grade.

They might feel like they are immune from the laws of our country, but take comfort that the laws about things like physics offer no immunity.

A class of people who live in private jets are probably not going to benefit from uncontrolled skies and accidents will happen.

Gravity doesn't care.

It's a good thing only white men can be air traffic controllers now.

Seems to be working out almost as well as last time that was going on.

Death, excuses, and immunity is the new definition of DEI.

Did someone say General Strike? That's one general this administration cannot remove. Nor can it survive.

"The people of the Pine Ridge Reservation see Peltier as our respected elder, and we have purchased and prepared a house for him on his homelands in Turtle Mountain. We are ready to welcome him home with open arms, to show him the care and support he deserved for his whole life. He deserves to live out his last days with dignity and surrounded by loved ones."
