$100k? Holy shit dude. You just made me feel a lot better about my student loan debt.

Dude, get over yourself, lest we get into a debate about whether my comment is a genuine indictment of the festering racism that persists in a state that has not elected a single nonwhite person to a statewide office in the last 150 years, or is merely a lighthearted Wednesday night joke.

Yes! Proud to have voted for her. <3

She has been advocating for N/NE Portland as long as I can remember (I’ve lived here about 30 years), she is definitely a badass!

Jo Ann Hardesty is the best thing to happen to Portland! She’s been around forever, and I’m so glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves. 

Nice reporting.

Of course it’s in an area white folks are gentrifying up. Of course it is. Leave it to white folks to get all official before they actually talk to people.

Spectacular read. As a lifelong Portlander (my grandmother has been here since 1937) I was fascinated from the start and, by the end, totally horrified and embarrassed. 

I was actually thinking Alberta - which is basically the same deal. I’ve heard of the book, but haven’t read it. I’ll have to check it out. 

If I’m correct, and I believe I am, this area is a highly gentrified area. Fucking disgusting. 

And we Natives are tired of being promised things by politicians who need our vote, only for them to indian-give when the going gets tough because they REALLY don’t want to lose any White votes. I hate to say this, but for most Natives I know there is no such thing as a Red state or a Blue state. There is just one…

And through people (including Border Patrol and ICE) just straight out fucking murdering them.  

Oh, they are already there.

Pssst! Your homophobia is showing.

Racists gonna racist.

“getting called out for being a hack and a dick and being made to feel very sad” is exactly what “censorship” means.

He out there in high school lookin’ like a grown-ass man. lol

Because being gay isn’t a choice. Being a cop is. 

This RN post was entirely not rude enough and I am furious that you went off-brand to actually connect with people on a personal level instead of dismissing them with a razor sharp one-liner. As a pillar of the Kinja comment section you should really think twice before making such compassionate posts.
