Cecelia Nails Palmer, Oklahoma State University English Department

"A survivor of the Tulsa race massacre at the age of 2, Cecelia Nails Palmer grew up to go into higher education, where she helped open academia’s doors to fellow African-Americans.

She earned her doctorate from Oklahoma State University, where she was the first black instructor in the OSU English department. 

Then, in 1970, she became the first black faculty member at the University of Tulsa.

Remaining at TU until her death 10 years later, Palmer was named teacher of the year in 1974, among many academic and community honors she received.

The daughter of prominent Greenwood District business owners, Palmer also tried to raise awareness of the race massacre and was featured in a documentary and other projects on the subject."

Trump Hitler Bunker Political Suicide

"(CNN)As protesters gathered outside the White House Friday night in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump was briefly taken to the underground bunker for a period of time, according to a White House official and a law enforcement source.

The President was there for a little under an hour before being brought upstairs.

In a series of tweets, Trump commended the US Secret Service for protecting him inside his fortified mansion Friday evening, saying he couldn't have felt "more safe" as protesters gathered outside over Floyd's death.

The President suggested that dogs and weaponry were waiting inside the gates."

Ted Wheeler Portland Police Shut off Tri Met Transportation to Workers and Citizens Downtown: Attn Lori Bauman

COVID-19 Update
Face coverings are now required when using transit. More
 Service disruptions in City of Portland

TriMet MAX and bus service will stop serving Downtown Portland starting at 3:30 p.m. based on guidance from Portland Police following this weekend's disruptive demonstrations.

 After 8 p.m., in the City of Portland, only use TriMet service for essential trips due to the city's curfew. Portland Streetcar service will end at 8 p.m. More information: trimet.org/alerts.

____________


Does Tri Met know what a "curfew"means?

It means go shopping says Mayor Wheeler and Police will determine how "essential" the culprit looks.
______________



"Lori Irish Bauman recently retired after more than 30 years as a lawyer at Ater Wynne LLP, a Portland-based law firm. Her years of practice focusing on business litigation have brought her to forums including the Oregon Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where she has briefed and argued appeals.

Bauman’s experience as a member of the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities of Oregon has informed her interest in supporting and enhancing services to people with disabilities. Additionally, her service on the Multnomah County Library Advisory Board and with non-profits such as the City Club of Portland has familiarized her with a host of public policy and governance issues.

Bauman, a resident of Southeast Portland, looks to serve the region’s diverse population while advancing economic development."

https://trimet.org/about/board.htm


" Attn: Lori Iriish Bauman, District 4 TriMet Board of Directors:Hi, you're my District 4 TriMet Board member. I tried the "email" link at the official site to no avail.

Shutting off Tri Met services at 3:30 for "downtown" impacts workers, the disabled, citizens who live downtown, people who transfer lines downtown. It also benefits for profit taxi, Uber, Lyft, and the like.

I see you're a former attorney, so I'm sure the decision to STRAND thousands downtown, many unawares and reliant on TriMet essential services has been run by the legal department....or nah, looks like Wheeler and the PPB just "convinced" the Board of which you are one.

People have a right to protest, and to also use public transportation to avoid protest areas. We also have the right to public sidewalks and public areas to observe, monitor, document, and ask for redress of grievances brought on by the actions of Public Officials, including Police and the Mayor.

Thanks in advance for considering the legality and efficacy of shutting down TriMet to vulnerable citizens in a Pandemic.

Ted Wheeler's Curfew Says Go SHOP....for a Lawyer

"Asked whether someone who ventured out past 8 p.m. to do grocery shopping would be cited for violating the curfew, the mayor’s office said:

“The City is not interested in citing people who are going about their business, causing no harm, and uninvolved in criminal conduct.” "

"Wheeler’s curfew also will not require the closure of businesses".
__________

Fuck Wheeler and double Fuck his irrational yet obviously illegal curfew that only Targets those who oppose him politically and dress in clothes that scare his City Club fascist boys.

The "curfew" also DOES not apply to Citizen Journalists, Bloggers, and the Public right to observe and record Police and City officials in their course of their working hours on duty on the streets of Portland, Oregon.

Occupy Protests 2020

Educate Yer Self:



"Occupy Wall Street (OWS) was a protest movement that began on September 17, 2011, in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, against economic inequality.

 It gave rise to the wider Occupy movement in the United States and other countries.

The Canadian anti-consumerist and pro-environment group/magazine Adbusters initiated the call for a protest. The main issues raised by Occupy Wall Street were social and economic inequality, greed, corruption and the undue influence of corporations on government—particularly from the financial services sector.

 The OWS slogan, "We are the 99%", refers to income and wealth inequality in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. To achieve their goals, protesters acted on consensus-based decisions made in general assemblies which emphasized redress through direct action over the petitioning to authorities.

The protesters were forced out of Zuccotti Park on November 15, 2011. Protesters turned their focus to occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, foreclosed homes, and college and university campuses."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street

"The Occupy protesters' slogan "We are the 99%" referred to the protester's perceptions of, and attitudes regarding, income disparity in the US and economic inequality in general, which were main issues for OWS. It derives from a "We the 99%" flyer calling for OWS's second General Assembly in August 2011. The variation "We are the 99%" originated from a tumblr page of the same name.

 Huffington Post reporter Paul Taylor said the slogan was "arguably the most successful slogan since 'Hell no, we won't go!'" of the Vietnam War era, and that the majority of Democrats, independents and Republicans saw the income gap as causing social friction"

Police Violence Against Journalists Is Fascist, Being Anti Fascist is All American

"Preventing reconciliation and driving us apart is the goal of these radical groups, and we cannot let them succeed," Barr added.

"The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly."

"There is no domestic terrorism statute and legal authority for the U.S. to designate any domestic organization as a terrorist group, as the Justice Department's domestic terrorism coordinator has said publicly on multiple occasions in recent years.

"As this tweet demonstrates, terrorism is an inherently political label, easily abused and misused," American Civil Liberties Union National Security Project Director Hina Shamsi said in response to Trump's post.

"There is no legal authority for designating a domestic group. Any such designation would raise significant due process and First Amendment concerns."

"In Minneapolis, Omar Jimenez was covering the protests ignited by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by the police.

Confronted by a phalanx of state policemen in riot gear, Jimenez offered to move back. “We’re getting out of your way. Just let us know. Wherever you want us, we will go.” 

He calmly identified himself as a CNN journalist and produced his credentials. Nonetheless, he was handcuffed and led away, as he continued to ask, peacefully and respectfully, why he was being arrested.

Soon after, his producer and cameraman were also cuffed and marched off. One can hear the distraught cameraman asking what to do with his camera, which was seized by the police – apparently unaware that it was still filming.

What the camera doesn’t show is that a few blocks away, a white journalist, also reporting for CNN, was treated by the police with consummate politeness.

"The department, relying on an antiquated computer system from the 1990s, was unable to keep up with the volume of claims or adapt its technology to accommodate changes in the jobless program.

Although Oregon received $86 million federal funding for a computer upgrade in 2009, and successive audits warned the department was unprepared for a spike in jobless claims, work replacing the computers isn’t due to be complete until 2025."

Trump Tweets Unlawfully to Intimidate Witnesses

"Federal criminal law contains a broad prohibition against illegitimately affecting the presentation of evidence in hearings.

For example, it is unlawful to knowingly use intimidation or corrupt persuasion with intent to influence the testimony of any person in an official proceeding.

An “official proceeding” includes hearings before Congress. Witness harassment also includes conduct intended to “badger, disturb or pester” and attempts to intimidate, even if the witness isn’t actually influenced, and even if the witness never actually received the threat. An act “with the intent to influence the testimony” has the purpose of getting the person to “change, color, or shade his or her testimony in some way.”

The government doesn’t have to prove that the testimony was, in fact, changed, as long as the intent was there. The government does have to prove that whatever statements were made to the person about the testimony had that improper purpose."

“The NY Times is calling for Twitter to censor the Pesident [sic] of the United States,” Trump Jr. tweeted about Swisher’s call for Twitter to delete the president’s false tweets. “If they can push for that who won’t they try to censor next? Given silicon valley’s leftist tendencies you all better watch out, they are coming for all of you.”

The president, meanwhile, seems sure of his impunity. Hours after the letter became public, Trump again accused Scarborough of possibly being a murderer.

“The opening of a Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough was not a Donald Trump original thought, this has been going on for years, long before I joined the chorus,” Trump said in one tweet.

“I would always be thinking about whether or not Joe could have done such a horrible thing? Maybe or maybe not, but I find Joe to be a total Nut Job, and I knew him well, far better than most,” Trump said in another tweet. “So many unanswered & obvious questions, but I won’t bring them up now! Law enforcement eventually will?”

" it wasn’t just the president who spread the conspiracy theory but his son as well. Donald Trump Jr. has been instrumental in publicizing the fake allegation.

“What show is Joe going to go on to discuss Lori Klausutis?” Trump Jr. tweeted in April to his more than 5 million followers.

And following an opinion piece on Tuesday by New York Times contributing writer Kara Swisher ― who first reported Klausutis’ letter ― Trump Jr. used the widower’s grief to paint his father as a victim of censorship. "

"William Ryan Owens (March 5, 1980 – January 29, 2017) was a decorated United States Navy SEAL senior chief petty officer.

Spike Lee Da 5 Bloods

   


"Starring Chadwick Boseman, Lee’s film follows his Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman, which was loosely based on the true story of a black policeman who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan. Da 5 Bloods, coming to Netflix on 12 June, promises another politically charged war epic where “our heroes battle forces of man and nature – while confronted by the lasting ravages of the immorality” of Vietnam."

 “We’ve always believed in this country,” he said in a recent interview. “That is why we fought for this country, even knowing we were slaves, in the civil war … We built this motherfucker!

 I mean, we’ve been nothing but patriotic! And this great, great country has not really made its promise yet to people of color.”

good bloodlines, good blood, bigot Trump and the First White House Memoir

Repugnant Trump Trolls Bloggod as Bloggod Trolls Fascist Trump

"In an apparent ad-lib, Trump looked up from his prepared remarks — which praised the firm for teaming up with General Electric to produce ventilators and face shields for medical workers — to observe that Henry Ford’s descendants, like the current chairman, Bill Ford, who had introduced the president, have “good blood.”

"“The company founded by a man named Henry Ford,” Trump’s prepared text appeared to say, “teamed up with the company founded by Thomas Edison — that’s General Electric.”

But when Trump came to Ford’s name, he looked up from the text and observed:

 “good bloodlines, 
good bloodlines —

 if you believe in that stuff, you got good blood.”

"Paul Jennings (1799–1874) was an American personal servant, as a young slave, to President James Madison during and after his White House years.

After buying his freedom in 1845 from Daniel Webster, Jennings is noted for publishing in 1865 the first White House memoir"

"His book was A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James Madison, described as "a singular document in the history of slavery and the early American republic."

Living in Washington, DC from 1837 on, Jennings made many useful connections and was aided by the northern Senator Daniel Webster in gaining freedom. In the 1850s, Jennings traveled to Virginia, where he tracked down his children, who had grown up on a neighboring plantation with his late wife Fanny, also a slave. His relatives on his mother's side were sold by the widow Dolley Madison with Montpelier in 1844. His three sons joined the Union cause during the American Civil War.

In 2009 his descendants were honored at Montpelier following a lecture on Jennings. They were also invited to a private viewing at the White House of the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington, which Jennings helped save during the War of 1812 and the British burning of the Capitol."

Brings me to a story of when
Grant my brother
lived in NY City

And one day around Rockefeller Plaza
Grant notices a crowd
and hubbub emerging and it is Ronald Reagan
exiting and heading with Secret Service
toward his awaiting limos

So Grant starts yelling Nazi, Nazi

And Ron cups a hand to his ear,
straining to listen and
yells back to his adoring public

"Sorry, Nancy couldn't be 
here today......" and it was well played,
old Ron, well played.

"A great grandmother of automobile industrialist Henry Ford I, the one who was Henry's father's paternal grandmother.

 Rebecca Jennings-Ford and her husband, William Ford (1775-1818), are the earliest names on the Ford (Motor Co.) family tree and had 5 sons. 

They were believed to have lived as tenant farmers near Crohane, Cork County, Ireland, until c. 1829."

(So, Trump heralds the Henry Ford bloodline which is only traced to Rebecca Jennings and Henry Ford 1....the Automobile maker's great grandparents )
