    Imagine hating a city where people ride 20ft tall bikes. Imagine hating a place where you can get donuts covered in breakfast cereal and bacon, or walk through a bookshop bigger than some towns. Imagine hating a place with more bridges than you’ve had hot meals and shops that will sell a full size burrito for $4.

    Only someone as diagonally opposite to everything good about life as Trump could hate Portland.














  • You’ve got me pegged. My family has been American for only one generation. We saw this all coming, decided to up stakes and head back to where we’re from. I love the ideal of America, but it never really existed if we’re being honest.

    The problem wasn’t the mix of cultures, the unwarranted optimism, or even the questionable-as-fuck founding fathers. It was the slavery that never ended, the stolen land never repaid, and the uncontrolled concentration of capital that convinced me to give it all up. It’s a whole nation built on theft, and the very least I could do is steal myself and my family back from it all.
