I spent Christmas Eve morning volunteering at the homeless youth center. Will be back tomorrow and there cooking breakfast every morning throughout my time back in Portland. Wednesday it’s back volunteering with the refugee kids.
This stuff doesn’t make the news but it’s what makes me the most happy. Glad to be back home and working for this city I love so much.
Too many people out here “building solidarity” by hating all the right people. If you’re progressive credentials is that you talk the most shit about leftists then I don’t want to hear from you in 2019. Go do something for the community or have a sit.

I don’t think Trump is going to leave the White House peacefully. I think if he lost the election he would just say “fake news”. Then what? Who removes him? Is that institution strong enough after his term to even remove him? Would it?
Let’s say he says it’s a national emergency that the election was rigged or had voter fraud. Then what? We ask Gorsich and Kavanaugh to tell him no? We ask the military to remove him? Like why does everyone think it will be so easy?
His supporters would surround the White House to protect him. The military might support him. The courts might support him. The police might support him. The senate might support him. What then?

Can someone explain why Tulsi Gabbard is so exciting? Is it because she’s viewed as part of the Sanders wing of the party? Cuz y’all know that ain’t cutting it with me. What about the islamaphobic or homophobic stuff?

A Portland landlord called the cops on a homeless man outside of one of her properties and the police showed up and killed him. Once again we see the harmful intersection of the cities failures on policing and homelessness. This is flat out wrong. oregonlive.com/news/2019/01/o…
For the millionth time: stop calling the police! They might make you feel safe but for all marginalized groups they serve as oppressors and murderers. Just stop.
But this isn’t just about calling the cops. This is about the damage that landlords, police, and millionaires are having on Portland all wrapped into one incident. We have to do better.

#Christmas is a day of remembrance and strengthening family bonds. The border wall behind me cuts those bonds. It disintegrates families seeking inalienable dignity.

It is a monument to bigotry, a piece of physical xenophobia.
The picture is from my trip to Tijuana in August when I spent a few days advising asylum seekers. I am standing on the Mexican side, but technically inside the US.

Here, hope and despair run feverishly as two turbulent rivers, each vying for victory in these roaring rapids.
Tonight, entire families hunker down in a tent city not a hundred yards from where this picture was taken, their futures deliberately made cruelly uncertain, and still our government throws up more walls of bureaucracy designed to break the spirit under a huge "closed" sign.

Tomorrow is a settler holiday. If you plan to celebrate, please consider also doing something helpful for Native people. This page offers the opportunity to sponsor gifts for Lakota families in Pine Ridge for Christmas. okini.net/holiday.cfm
To support the fight to save the Indian Child Welfare Act (and so much more), donate to @lakotalaw. These folks fight for the rights of Native children and to keep Native children in Native homes. They also work to defend Native land. lakotalaw.org/our-actions/lp…
The Native Organizers Alliance is a training and organizing network dedicated to building the capacity of Native tribes, traditional societies, and community groups to make transformational change. I believe in these folks. You can donate here: nativeorganizing.org

@GEM_Hello
Let's discuss yesterday's polls and begin our discussion on youth entrepreneurship with #GEMChats

This is a thread.
In a summary report of an OECD and the European
Commission seminar in 2014 , two things were key points:

1. #unemployment was at 10.9% in 2013 and double for #youth : 23.4%

2. 45% of youth prefer self-employment to
#employment, whereas 37% of adults prefer self-employment.
In Malaysia, MIDF reports find youth unemployment to be high - hitting a record 10.8% last year, attributed to a skills mismatch.

This is a significant 40.5% of total unemployment in #Malaysia.

So what can be done?

Today I am going to try and cook for the first time since I was paralyzed.

I used to cook most nights for me and The Wife. After Mass on Sundays, I would make brunch.

I made every holiday meal for 17 of our 18yrs together. I did the #Christmas baking.

I started cooking as a child. I grew up in a chaotic household. Great politics but a chronically ill mother. I was the oldest sibling & the maternal stand-in.

I became a vegetarian for political reasons at 14, so I had to learn how cook that diet cheaply since we were poor.

2/
In college I cooked for everyone. I knew how to stretch $.When I was in the domestic Peace Corps I taught people how to cook with next to no money.

I love feeding people.
I think food is an evocation of love for many folks.

I haven't been able to cook since I was paralyzed.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
