So it turns out the owner of the Centennial mills warehouse that caught fire today on NW Naito Parkway is owned by none other than Stuart Lindquist, (the same Stuart Lindquist who owns the ICE building, off of Macadam). Previous owners of the property were Prosper Portland…

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

Some late Friday news: Portland's city hearings office has upheld the land use violation issued against the owner of Portland’s ICE building. That means the city can begin issuing fines against the owners. More soon.
The Left(s) should get onboard with a massive expansion of public libraries across the country over the next 25 years. This is an affirmative project.
