the photo accompanying this article makes me wonder if Rapid Response just doesn't show up and kill homeless people in their camps, then carelessly load them in the trucks.
i wonder how many human body parts are to be found in Rapid Response's warehouse?
this is for anyone out there who doubts me when i say homeless people are being hunted down and murdered for sport in portland:
'Police said that while the ME is still waiting on toxicology tests, the remains don’t show specific injuries or “abnormalities.”'
human remains found in two locations, 15 blocks apart, were parts of the same person.

no abnormalities? how about the same person's remains were found in two different locations? is that not 'abnormal' in #portland anymore? isn't being torn into at least two pieces not somehow a 'specific' injury?
ME's office - 'well, this sort of thing just happens, you know?'

wow - i'd thought i lost this account, but Vivaldi generously allowed me to recover it, with a little whining from me.
love this instance - one can keep track of the time by watching the predominant language of recent posts change.
so glad to be back!

"...the president isn't a king, no matter how many bombs he can drop!"
good shit, folks!
when i was but a young revolutionary, i believed this with all my heart...
here's something nations who oppose the genocide of the palestinian people can do to help israel cut it the fuck out:
seize everything being transported from israel and distribute it to the poorest members of their own countries.
israeli citizens will not be allowed into other countries unless they renounce their israeli citizenship and ask for asylum.
travel to israel is suspended until the genocide ends.
israel must pay all expenses to rebuild palestinian territories, and pay for all foods imported there.
israel must dismantle the IDF, become the new host of the UN, and rely on UN forces for protection from retaliatory outrage from the rest of the world. IF they can afford it.
America's Political Police, Their Irregular Forces, and the War on Dissent
Since before its formal inception, the FBI has served as the US government’s political police and have engaged in campaigns of low-intensity, counter-insurgent warfare against dissidents, often with the help of irregular forces – even operatives of foreign governments – and the backing of civilian financiers and their front organizations.
In addition, the FBI maintains a network of informants. Senate investigatory committees have previously found the number of paid informants had gone from roughly 1,500 in 1975, to 2,800 in 1980, to over 6,000 in 1986. A budget request presented in 2008 asked for $12.7 million to fund its informant network.
Today, years into an era of eroded civil and human rights in the name of a “war on terrorism,” it is even easier for the FBI and their allies in localized law enforcement to entrap unwitting citizens in fantasy plots they concoct, and convince juries that they have foiled a terrorist action. Unlike the 1970s, when many people understood that the government and police were not on their side, many people now seem to be incapable of seeing through such entrapment schemes, and it is only judges who challenge their narrative. But only if they choose to. Many judges are, of course, just there to send people to prison, for any or no reason. Especially people who are not white.

Compost the Colony: Exploring Anarchist Decolonization
By Alexander Dunlap, published in Tvergastein Journal.
'Tvergastein' is an interdisciplinary journal based at the Centre for Development and Environment at the University of Oslo (SUM).
ha-ha! i get referenced, my beaches!
"Anti-authoritarian decolonial tendencies are prevalent outside the university and within it, arguably, arising from the post-development school. An anti-authoritarian and anarchistic tension is strong within the post-development school, where post-development prioritizes affinity over “identity politics and nationalism within academia” (see Rahnema, 1997; Kothari et al., 2019).
Outside the academy, decolonial writings identify the state as central to (neo)colonialism or coloniality. Indigenous anarchists have highlighted the variations and complications with “Indigenous” as an authoritative label. The works of Aragorn (2005, 2018), Taiaiake Alfred, Rob los Ricos, Zig Zag/Gord Hill, Cante Waste (2012), Cusicanqui, Klee Benally, Indigenous Action Media (IAM, 2014, 2017), and many others are central to developing Indigenous Anarchism(s) and anti-authoritarian decolonization.
that's right - 'central,' i am!
liberal/lefties came up with a brilliant idea, in the 1990's:
they would prove their intellectual and moral superiority by publicly berating and shunning anyone who diverged from ANY of their sacred bovines, or cast aspersions on any of its divine bovinity.
and, just thirty years later, they'd built a political movement that brought us all the way to fascism!
okay - here's the deal...
i've been homeless for going on 10 years now, and the amount of NAKED ABSOLUTE HATRED i get from people who live indoors is escalating by the day.
i was attacked last night by a person who was trusted with an entire camp's worth of my property (without my consent), but instead chose to steal it all. he was angry because i keep packing up and moving the crap he leaves at my camp. while he has a place to live.
he also slept in my tent for three days, around a month ago, with his pants around his ankles and his bare ass on my guitar bag, and left me nothing to do but wander around town for two nights, with nowhere to go.
i am muting or blocking everyone i see here sitting up and begging for funds in order for them to stay indoors.
fuck you!
you made this bed, now sleep in it!
i wish there was a prize i could win for calling this, months ago:
'Democrats have largely agreed it’s time to end the capital-R resistance to the newly sworn in president.'
and...
'Democrats in Trump-won turf are traveling to Mar-a-Lago and voting for GOP bills on immigration and trans athletes...'

yeah, but go ahead and vote for the blue-republican-lites.
how many of you out there knew that the Equal Rights Amendment was officially ratified, and is the 28th Amendment to the US constitution?
"With Virginia becoming the 38th and final state needed to ratify the ERA in 2020,16 the amendment has met all requirements of Article 5 to become an amendment and is now at a critical juncture in its history. However, legal challenges and partisan opposition have stalled the ERA’s adoption, so the fight continues to get it settled into the Constitution once and for all."

"Killers of the Flower Moon" tells the story of the murder of scores of Osage for their oil rights. Killers ends in the 1920s. But, as Chief Standing Bear tells us, “It’s still going on”
