Be a Punk. Share your table, your pantry, your connections, your opportunities. When the narrative is scarcity, sow abundance. 🕊️

Worth reading it all, but highlighting this: “Based on the trial testimony, this Court finds nocredible evidence that during the approximately two months before the President’s federalization order, protests grew out of control...”

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Orange background poster with an image and text on top. Image is of a red dragon poised on the right side overlooking a river valley at sunrise. On the left side of the image is a red castle in the distance. Beyond both is a mountain range with the sun rising in a partly cloudy sky. Text over the sky reads in red: DD&D in bold letters. The ampersand is styled like a dragon. Below that is smaller block letters that read : Dungeons, Dragons & Donations. At the top of the poster in large red letters it reads: Join the Quest. Below that in italic purple letters it reads: To Fight Hunger!! On the right hand column it states in italic red letters: November 14th, 5:09 Dinner, 6-10 gaming At the bottom of the poster it reads: Evasion Brewing 1030 SE Belmont.

Curiously Safari gives me a different landing this morning. Instead of following the link, or copying, this time I typed it in myself. I do keep a high security level but I haven’t come across this with other known sites, just spammy ones.

This from Ecosia. The link leads to a .com site, is this correct : isportlandburning.com

Current affairs.
Black text on white background reads: If you look at their associate’s pattern of financially degrading prime areas of property you’ll notice a pattern. The Willamette Valley is Prime property in America. I wonder what Illinois has to offer for vulture capitalists? This relates to the current fixation on bullying Portland, Oregon and other “Blue” cities.

Good to see that he is withdrawing from his declared war on Portland and simultaneously very much more concerning altogether.

This is what is being said about Portland. Utterly false but believed by a certain contingent. They clearly have an agenda not based on reality.

What we know.
“This morning, Trump declared war on Portland.””Trump, Noem, and Kegseth are trying to provoke a violent response so they can claim a national emergency and shut elections down in 26. There will be agent provocateurs at ICE tonight.”

substack.com/inbox/post/1...
Black text on white background reads: “Just a short note from ground zero. We know Trump hates Portland. He hates anywhere that is progressive and literate and has the frontier spirit that says, leave us the fuck alone. He hates woke and queer and chicks that don’t shave their pits. And he hates that we are a sanctuary city. So the old man is going to make an example of us.”

I established contact at the Soviet embassy with people who spoke English and were willing to feed me important bits and pieces from their side of the wire. I had long ago, somewhat facetiously, suggested “Yankee Doodle” as our musical signal, and WITH emphasis: “now that silly little jingle was a power cue, a note of hope everywhere on earth”, conveyed by short wave as well as by our four-hour American BBC. When I sat down to write “Good morning, this is the Voice of America,” I now have a grasp of things.[36][37]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_...
Text reads: In British conversation, the term "Yankee doodle dandy" implied unsophisticated misappropriation of upper-class fashion, as though simply sticking a feather in one's cap would transform the wearer into a noble.[13] Peter McNeil, a professor of fashion studies, claims that the British were insinuating that the colonists were lower-class men who lacked masculinity, emphasizing that the American men were womanly.[14]
