US-All here are nice in Portland.
We will get you; a craft beer, a premium blunt, and some vegan doughnuts if you are nice.
But
If you are mean: we will tell you bluntly the truth, we will be sarcastic, and then openly mock you for the harm you bring the community.

We like it when people are nice.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Trump's stunt to send National Guard to Portland would cost an estimated $10 million in taxpayer dollars. Follow along to see what Portlanders would rather do with 10 million dollars.

Portland is not a war zone—It’s our home.

This week Colorado honors St. Frances Xavier Cabrini who built hospitals for the poor and sick. She embodied the Catholic social teaching to care for the least among us. I share that faith and am grateful for her example. With rural hospitals at risk of closing, this race is about faith in action.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.
