Oregon Senator Merkley and Wyden, and my representative Suzanne Bonamici, have all issued statement condemning the appointment of Steve Bannon.
I wrote all of them yesterday but do not claim to be responsible. 
I did have a Letter to the Editor accepted by Portland’s newspaper. Due out tomorrow I’m told.
There are right-wing punks, but they run in totally different circles than me
We called them “nazi skinheads” back in the 80s. Because they were.
A friend used to be a skinhead back when it was a ska thing. The nazi versions beat the shit out of him one night. He grew his hair out but he kept his boots and bomber jacket because it looked cool and the girls liked it. Last I heard he was a lawyer in Montreal.
There is blood in the water.
Enough people stood up to make the beliefs and character of this man unignorable.
Either Trump keeps Bannon and wears the mantle of White Supremacist supporter, or he ditches the vile bigot and loses face and one of the people keeping him independent of the mainstream GOP.
Anyone who tries gematria on roman letters is kidding themselves.
Some of us also understand progress differently. [quote=“Footface, post:94, topic:89352, full:true”]
Thus the popular ditty “Nazi Punks, Fuck Off.”

It may be a shock to you but not thinking of oneself as liberal doesn’t mean being a nazi punk.
I agree, but it was on my mind since I just read this week’s UNSONG chapter
I don’t know what that means
Sorry, should have posted the link but I was on my phone and being lazy. UNSONG is a sci-fi-ish story by the blogger who writes Slate Star Codex, the premise is that Apollo 8 crashed into the crystal sphere separating the Earth from the heavens and thereafter everything runs on kabbalistic principles instead of physics. Tons of wordplay, including by an archangel who at times pretends that English words have consonantal roots.
Thanks (?). I read the first five or so chapters and now I have a tremendous stomach ache. Like “Hollywood does computers” times 50 stomach ache.
He’s working on getting nationwide vote-by-mail, too.

Can’t find confirmation on CNN’s twitter/website yet (possibly they just reported it on-air), but if this is true we are so fucked. This is the man who actively attempted to sabotage the Iran nuclear negotiations and advocated bombing Iran’s nuclear program.
