Yeah, so’s the case that’s put the woman at the center of this issue in prison, that’s the point.

Oh I agree, that’s definitely where I think there’s the most to gain from proactive educational outreach from the left. It’s like the summer learning gap for grade school but it’s like 3.5 years & everyone’s a grownup, which makes it harder.

There’s an argument that M110 happened in part due to the George Floyd murder making white liberals more aware of the police’s tendency to escalate nonviolent alleged crime to lethal force. I mean, it was a big year for the blue team but you know what I mean

This isn’t all on lefties to be clear, I’d love to see Dexter, Wyden, or Merkley do a review of the interior of the ICE building for example. The lawn sign crowd would love that.
There’s a lot of opportunity to find common policy ground in common morality.

IMHO one of the most important things the Portland left could/should work on is explaining the policy connections between Bad Orange Man and local issues in a way that’s palatable for “In This House We Believe” yard sign liberals

A couple of years ago, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature passed a domestic terrorism law over of the objection of civil liberties advocates, environmentalists, and ordinarily reasonable Oregonians who told them this would only be used against the left.

It fits right in with Trump’s strategy.

This is why we collectively needed to reject the terrorism framework long ago. There is no equivalent to the counter-terror framework in eroding rights and legal norms.

Every “counter-terror” response has been an act of overreach that paints an entire community as guilty.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

uncanny how Guzman was also on fox news five years ago decrying all of the 2020 protests and the impact on local business, despite her coffee shop being over seven miles away from downtown

it's just the same recycled cranks who have already been given a modicum of media training

Another business owner quoted to prop up the White House's misinfo is Loretta Guzman, owner of Bison Coffee in Cully.
