When a friend has been bit, stung, burnt, or otherwise injured by something, do you often wonder, "Should I suck on it, piss on it, smear butter on it, or stab the person?" Spoiler alert: no.

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.

Hey, PDX. The cosplay revolutionaries are already on social media doing their darnedest to stoke a riot and throw our city under the tank treads for their bloody fantasy. Don't take the bait. If we want to protect our city, we prove Tr*mp's ridiculous claims false.

Fat bear week is my favorite
It's that time of year!
The one week when we, as anarchists, will be reminding you all to VOTE!
Please make your voice heard in this all-important election.

I’ve been thinking about this since I read it.

At least Scooby Doo villains dressed up in costumes & pretended to be ghosts.
Ours are like “Here is the evil shit we plan to do.”
Then they brag about doing it in plain sight.
Then media reports it as “10 reasons this evil shit isn’t true and if it were it wouldn’t be that bad, actually.”
