I'm at a conference at the federal courthouse, and as I drove here l observed cops (not in riot gear) on every corner surrounding Portland State University (the urban campus downtown), and schoolbuses pulling up in front of the Schnitz and also backing up traffic on the freeway nearby. Looks like they're about to roust the antiwar encampment, and expecting multiple arrests. #Portland#PDX
Absolute power and solidarity to the comrades holding down Camp Palestine at Portland State University. The love and support from these folks warms me like no other. I'm so inspired and deeply moved by the commitment, community, and power these friends wield. Please feel free to stop by and help with supplies if you can. Add your body if you can!
Hold the fort! From Chinook to Gaza, mobilize the Intifada!

Last night I learned that pistachios are related to mangos. On the tree they have a thin mango flavored fruit, and before roasting they taste like chickpeas.
Anyway, the seasonal pistachio loaf at Woodlawn Coffee is delicious!
