Hands Off Greenland!

We denounce and oppose Trump's naked imperialist land grab for Greenland! Currently Greenland is a colony of Denmark, which is a historical injustice that is the result of the conquest of the indigenous people. We oppose both U.S. and Denmark's claims to Greenland, and support the Inuit's right to self-determination. We urge our readers to follow and support Inuit Ataqatigitt https://www.facebook.com/ataqatigiit/

Inuit Ataqatigitt (Inuit Community) is an Inuit led socialist party. It is currently the largest party in Greenland, and is actively working to make Greenland an independent, indigenous led country.

To hell with U.S. AND Danish imperialism! Greenland for Greenlanders!

Calling Out Transphobia in Our Community

Over the weekend, one of the owners of At Sara's Table / Chester Creek Cafe, Barbara Neubert, shared a transphobic meme and at least one other meme in support of JK Rowling on her personal Facebook page. This might sound like an issue of free speech, but it's not, it's hate speech. Its purpose is to dehumanize us. That it was platformed by a respected elder in the local progressive and LGBTQ communities is even more concerning. Many politicians who have pushed for draconian transphobic laws have used JK Rowling's own tweets as a justification to punish us, and keep us closeted. It also came to light that her wife and co-owner, Carla Blumberg, told a non-binary employee that they ought to dress more feminine because "I get that your generation believes that sexual manipulation is utterly evil, but, nevertheless, it works." Then in a later "clarification" misgendered them, and said they "dressed like someone in the Seattle grunge scene while (...

Superior Police Tase a Door Dash Driver After He Took a Wrong Turn

Ian Cuypers is a door dash driver who was delivering food in Superior in February. He was unfamiliar with the neighborhood, and while looking for an address he accidently took a wrong turn down a one way street. This led to Superior Police pulling him over. Multiple cops appeared on the scene. With weapons drawn and pointed at him, Ian was instructed to get out of the car with his hands up, to face away from the officers, and walk backwards towards them. When he attempted to explain himself, he was tased. This is an outrageous incident of unnecessary force. Video footage has been posted online. Here is the link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX_zKmiH3-E
