Portland city government is short $100 million. The first step should be to close the Office of Civic Life. Second step STOP funding all nonprofits. Problem solved.
Good article--appalling, our leaders' civic ignorance and extremism-- even if the workplace behavior was not abusive. I suppose they have no idea of how radical they are.
Thank you for your comment. Collaboration has to happen, but someone has to make the first move. Think of personal conflicts all of us have had. An apology or sign of respect/caring for the other side is usually what breaks the ice.

This is some beautiful writing, Allan.
Love your definition of citizenship! I do think justice and collaboration have to happen hand in hand.

Trying to get progressives to stop messing around with the mother tongue is like asking a neon tetra to walk on dry land.
