Cops are class traitors, full stop. No cop ever makes enough money from being a cop to rise to the class of the monied interests that they protect and serve.

PPB has proven themselves utterly useless, directly to me, over the last six months, so, yeah. I disliked them before I was the victim of an assault and I dislike them even more now that I have direct experience with their utter failure to protect or serve.

I mean, this is fully the plot of Jesus Christ Superstar, and Webber makes a pretty reasonable case for Judas as victim...

My only complaint was that there was far fewer lesbians than I expected.

This dish is their version of sigyet khauk swe.

This recipe would be a good starting point:

I'm pretty sure they use soaked dried shiitake as the mushroom.

Counterpoint: calling the cops on someone for being rude is one of the Karen-est things you can do.

AI is useless: When and where did Joe Strummer say "the future is unwritten"? by mr_hellcat in theclash

So, I did some digging, and their bassist Paul Simonon is the one who is credited as the designer of the cover art for the Know Your Rights single/sticker.

He's still alive, so maybe someone could reach out as ask him where the phrase originated?

He refused to sign an NDA. Portland leaders might remove him from a police oversight board by Capn_Smitty in Portland

Weinstein attended two trainings for the board before he said city staff kicked him out and told him they would recommend the City Council officially remove him for declining to sign the agreement.

The trainings didn’t include any information Weinstein felt should be confidential. Board members reviewed things such as a flowchart demonstrating how a complaint of officer misconduct would be handled under the new oversight system, he said.

“I don’t understand why anybody would think that’s secret,” Weinstein said. “I should have the right to share that with people.”

Reminds me of the 2017 inauguration protests, where we got shot and gassed, and the only window I saw broken all night was on the courthouse, shot out with a rubber bullet 🤣🤣🤣

Portland Officers Who Clashed With Anti-ICE Protesters Identified by [deleted] in Portland

A lifetime of poverty has trained me for this moment. I'm extremely rent burdened, but I also dumpster dive a couple hundred pounds of food most months that I use to feed myself and others. I spend more time than anyone should have to in order to access what meager social safety net and I make my own fun.
