Money Williams for Montana is my new mid-major MVP now that the PSU boys have been eliminated from March Madness contention. Incredible pace at the point guard slot, smooth shooting stroke, and a HUGE Kyle Lowry-style booty for the potential guard post ups. Also (obviously) he has a perfect name.

Everyone wants to say Kobe this, Bam that. I just want to congratulate the Portland State Vikings on a great season. Tonight was a heartbreaker, but this season was no less historic. You are PDX Legends forever.

One of the major problems facing the labor movement is elite capture, not only from the bosses, but from the Poli-Sci degree from Vassar career lobbyists. Itās like if teachers let Admin run their union, or Teamsters appointed a McKinsey consultant as chief negotiator.

Nathan Vasquez does not consider himself an ICE agent watchdog. But he did win the DA seat on a ātough on crimeā platform. As federal officials flout the law and hurt Portlanders, attention is turning to the DA to hold them to account.

What can go unnoticed when politicians are outed for the typical hypocritical line "I'm pro-labor, except here" is the real cruelty that position brings. A man was harassed then fired for bringing his kid into work, and taking an approved vacation which Smith initially promised as a paid holiday.
