Oregon Public Broadcasting is one of the crown jewels of public media in the US. This is a shot across its bow.

All of the atrocious, malicious crap that is currently happening in America can be laid at the feet of the Republican Party. They are ultimately responsible for enabling and allowing all this cruelty to happen. Vote every Republican out of office. In every state and county.

The new City Council President goes into meme-o-genesis, right out of the box. So Portland.

Don't take the bait. Peaceful, peaceful, peaceful.

When a legal system fails to provide justice, people will seek their own remedies outside the process of law. This is inevitable, necessary, and dangerous. Better, then, that those within the legal system see their responsibility towards the living body politic and address that responsibility.

So. Embrace the future, or pay to keep fighting last century's oil wars while falling hopelessly behind the rest of the world?

Real Talk:
"Hide post for me" is crap.

I often want a temp post hit for current events. But, when I repost on bS, it sticks like a bad rash, no matter how many times I hit "hide post for me".

What's up with that? Is this really social media that -I- control? Not feeling it right now.
