What a strange trip. His career was basically over in 2016 as even Indiana had decided he was too white and boring. Then Trump, miraculously, rescued him from the scrap heap to shore up his bona fides with the Jesus freaks. This ended up being ironically pointless, as evangelicals became Trump's biggest fans, rendering Pence superfluous from day one. He spent four years painfully and publicly kissing the boss's ass, trying desperately to hang on to some scrap of relevance and avoid the humiliation of being replaced on the ticket with a younger and prettier woman. And now he's trying to flee the sinking ship without looking like he's fleeing the sinking ship, as he's somehow deluded himself into thinking he has a political future post-Trump.

Honestly, I think Trump messed up when he called for our Governor to resign. I can't imagine many of the actual Republicans I know would be enthused by that blatant disrespect for our state.

My hope for 2021 is that people from around the world organize and unite under a banner of crushing corporate corruption. We all need to take an active role in beating back the runaway corruption and greed that is killing our fucking planet and many of the living things in it. Suffering has escalated, as has the wealth gap. Corporations have seized far too much power and are using it to trample us all. Profiting from human suffering has been completely normalized. There is so clearly one standard for us and another for them (oligarchs). Why do you think Facebook continues to turn a blind eye to disinformation campaigns (and Twitter allows Trump to incite violence and spread hatred)? Because those campaigns divide us and distract us from what these mega corporations and their lobbying (i.e. bribes) are doing right under our noses. The people hold the power, but we are currently so divided that we struggle to come together on any single idea or cause. But we can change that. We can come together and construct a cause based on ending suffering and creating a more balanced planet. Think about any widespread problem today. Now ask yourself which of those problems could not be drastically improved, if not completely mitigated, by beating back corporate corruption. We must end our complacency and stop putting any faith in world leaders to fix what's broke. It's a big club and we ain't in it, so let's start our own club. If we organize and establish strong governance (e.g. core values, guiding principles, organizational structure), we can do this. We are not powerless and we need to stop acting like it. We need to recognize the distractions being shoved in our faces and the constructs that have been established to try to keep us from taking meaningful action to level the playing field with the wealthy elite ruling class. We have to put our cynicism aside and stop categorizing and dehumanizing each other - no matter what side of the issues we are on. We need to stop blaming and start acting. We need to recognize that our people and planet are running out of time and nothing short of drastic unified global effort is going to protect the future from certain peril. I can already see the cynical responses from the doomsayers and those that have given up all hope. But I'm not going to be party to that. We have to try. We have to start taking better care of each other and our planet. We have to try and we have to try together. We are all connected. It's time we use that connection to secure a future for our civilization and every creature that shares this beautiful place with us.	2Trait Anger	0Anger	3Not Anxiety	10Punishment

This was a terribly written article. The first 80% of it repeats the same non information over and over. The last 20% is interesting but doesn't give us enough information to make informed decisions. So land boards are elected positions with local farmers voting and getting elected, which left black farmers out. While fair, with local representation in theory, minorities often got shut out, which is bad. During the civil rights movement black farmers lost ground. But then again, all farmers have lost ground. They keep throwing around stats, like that there used to be a million black farmers, and now there ate only 50k, but then during their own comparison, there was a 57% decline in black farmers in North Carolina, but also a 47% decline in white farmers. That 10% is very significant, but the way the rest of the article throws around numbers without comparison points makes me suspicious of the severity of all their claims. I left this article with barely more knowledge of the situation than when I started. If black farmers are having a terrible time I wouldn't know, because at this point due to the articles lack of real data I am assuming that this is a generic farmers lobbyist concern trying all angles because farmers are always trying to bilk lobby dollars.	1State Anger	0Anger	3Not Anxiety	4Frustration

This just goes to show that at any time during his presidency, Republicans could have reigned in Trump for actions they paid lip service as "too far" or "abhorrent", they could have voted to convict him in impeachment trials and have Pence as a more stable president.

Multi-month protests started because of the death of George Floyd in Minnesota and then turned into...something else that many Oregonians aren't certain about any more. These protests involved multiple cities and thousands of people, but the largest and best known were in Portland. Those protests also involved lengthy and violent clashes with the police, the appearance of federal law enforcement, and at least two deaths. They also haven't stopped, as there were protests last night. In the November elections, we decriminalized personal amounts of most narcotics, made strides in campaign finance reform, legalized psilocybin for medicinal use, and bumped the cost of a pack of cigarettes up $2 due to a new tax. We had the largest wildfires in state history, burning over 1 million acres, killing at least 11 people, and destroying several small towns. The fires were so intense and fast-moving that evacuation areas extended well into the suburbs of Portland, and air quality became the worst in the entire world for large areas of Oregon. In addition to the protests against police brutality, conflicts between BLM/antifa/progressive ideology protestors and Proud Bois/MAGA/concervatives ramped up tremendously, with streets fights occuring in several cities. Some close calls happened, and there have been reports on social media of people getting badly hurt but not reporting it to authorities or the press. Just to add insult to injuries, the Blazers go knocked out in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Timbers got knocked out in the first round of the MLS playoffs, and the Thorns got knocked out in the NWSL semi-finals. No rings, no stars, no cups. And I've been out of a job since March 11th, when Governor Brown shut down all public events with more than 200 people.

My hope for 2021 is that people from around the world organize and unite under a banner of crushing corporate corruption. We all need to take an active role in beating back the runaway corruption and greed that is killing our fucking planet and many of the living things in it. Suffering has escalated, as has the wealth gap. Corporations have seized far too much power and are using it to trample us all. Profiting from human suffering has been completely normalized. There is so clearly one standard for us and another for them (oligarchs). Why do you think Facebook continues to turn a blind eye to disinformation campaigns (and Twitter allows Trump to incite violence and spread hatred)? Because those campaigns divide us and distract us from what these mega corporations and their lobbying (i.e. bribes) are doing right under our noses. The people hold the power, but we are currently so divided that we struggle to come together on any single idea or cause. But we can change that. We can come together and construct a cause based on ending suffering and creating a more balanced planet. Think about any widespread problem today. Now ask yourself which of those problems could not be drastically improved, if not completely mitigated, by beating back corporate corruption. We must end our complacency and stop putting any faith in world leaders to fix what's broke. It's a big club and we ain't in it, so let's start our own club. If we organize and establish strong governance (e.g. core values, guiding principles, organizational structure), we can do this. We are not powerless and we need to stop acting like it. We need to recognize the distractions being shoved in our faces and the constructs that have been established to try to keep us from taking meaningful action to level the playing field with the wealthy elite ruling class. We have to put our cynicism aside and stop categorizing and dehumanizing each other - no matter what side of the issues we are on. We need to stop blaming and start acting. We need to recognize that our people and planet are running out of time and nothing short of drastic unified global effort is going to protect the future from certain peril. I can already see the cynical responses from the doomsayers and those that have given up all hope. But I'm not going to be party to that. We have to try. We have to start taking better care of each other and our planet. We have to try and we have to try together. We are all connected. It's time we use that connection to secure a future for our civilization and every creature that shares this beautiful place with us.

This was a terribly written article. The first 80% of it repeats the same non information over and over. The last 20% is interesting but doesn't give us enough information to make informed decisions. So land boards are elected positions with local farmers voting and getting elected, which left black farmers out. While fair, with local representation in theory, minorities often got shut out, which is bad. During the civil rights movement black farmers lost ground. But then again, all farmers have lost ground. They keep throwing around stats, like that there used to be a million black farmers, and now there ate only 50k, but then during their own comparison, there was a 57% decline in black farmers in North Carolina, but also a 47% decline in white farmers. That 10% is very significant, but the way the rest of the article throws around numbers without comparison points makes me suspicious of the severity of all their claims. I left this article with barely more knowledge of the situation than when I started. If black farmers are having a terrible time I wouldn't know, because at this point due to the articles lack of real data I am assuming that this is a generic farmers lobbyist concern trying all angles because farmers are always trying to bilk lobby dollars.

This just goes to show that at any time during his presidency, Republicans could have reigned in Trump for actions they paid lip service as "too far" or "abhorrent", they could have voted to convict him in impeachment trials and have Pence as a more stable president.

Multi-month protests started because of the death of George Floyd in Minnesota and then turned into...something else that many Oregonians aren't certain about any more. These protests involved multiple cities and thousands of people, but the largest and best known were in Portland. Those protests also involved lengthy and violent clashes with the police, the appearance of federal law enforcement, and at least two deaths. They also haven't stopped, as there were protests last night. In the November elections, we decriminalized personal amounts of most narcotics, made strides in campaign finance reform, legalized psilocybin for medicinal use, and bumped the cost of a pack of cigarettes up $2 due to a new tax. We had the largest wildfires in state history, burning over 1 million acres, killing at least 11 people, and destroying several small towns. The fires were so intense and fast-moving that evacuation areas extended well into the suburbs of Portland, and air quality became the worst in the entire world for large areas of Oregon. In addition to the protests against police brutality, conflicts between BLM/antifa/progressive ideology protestors and Proud Bois/MAGA/concervatives ramped up tremendously, with streets fights occuring in several cities. Some close calls happened, and there have been reports on social media of people getting badly hurt but not reporting it to authorities or the press. Just to add insult to injuries, the Blazers go knocked out in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Timbers got knocked out in the first round of the MLS playoffs, and the Thorns got knocked out in the NWSL semi-finals. No rings, no stars, no cups. And I've been out of a job since March 11th, when Governor Brown shut down all public events with more than 200 people. Happy fucking new year, from all 4.2 million of us here in the Beaver State.
