  • The Oregonian Without Federal Leadership on Climate Protection, Portland Must Step Up
    The Oregonian Without federal leadership on climate protection, Portland must step up (Guest opinion) By Ted Wheeler May 31, 2017 With a clear vision for the future, we can avoid being left to the whims of fate. A solid strategy is especially important when it comes to confronting a slow-moving threat to our city and to the Oregon way of life. This week, the City of Portland will step up to the challenge of climate change with an ambitious plan to transition to 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. There is a lot of work to be done, but it's more about the will than the way. We already have the technology to run our lives on clean energy: solar and wind, electric vehicles, and exciting innovations like turning waste to energy at the Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant project. But the switch to clean energy will not happen on its own at the speed necessary to guarantee our kids and future generations a livable world. That's where our will comes in. With Portland joining more than two dozen U.S. cities committing to 100 percent renewable energy, our local economy will benefit from more good-paying jobs, households will realize energy bill savings, and our air will be cleaner. Leading cities and states will thrive in the fast-growing, low-carbon economy. It's happening now. The downtown Portland Fire Station will soon harness solar energy and use a battery to store it, saving the city money on energy bills and allowing emergency responders to work through a major outage.

  • The Oregonian Iraq Veteran Aids Man Slashed in Portland MAX Stabbings
    The Oregonian Iraq veteran aids man slashed in Portland MAX stabbings By Lynne Terry May 30, 2017 Marcus Knipe never needed the basic medical training he received while serving in Iraq. But he needed it Friday when he helped save a young man who suffered a slashed neck in the deadly attack on a MAX train in Northeast Portland. Knipe, 34, was at the Hollywood MAX transit center that afternoon with his wife and 9-year- old son. They were waiting for a westbound train to go to Waterfront Park to enjoy the Rose Festival's CityFair carnival. An eastbound train pulled up and Knipe could hear a commotion. He heard a man, who turned out to be the 35-year-old suspect Jeremy Joseph Christian, challenging others on the train. "You want some, too? Come on. I'll give it to you," Knipe remembered him yelling. "It was like he was trying to get into a fight," Knipe said. "I just thought it was a moron being stupid." Then? Knipe heard screaming. Commuters fled the train. A young man staggered out, holding the left side his neck. "I saw blood seeping between his fingers," Knipe said. "He had a pure look of terror." That young man, Micah David-Cole Fletcher, 21 of Southeast Portland, had been stabbed in the neck. Two other men, Rick John Best, 53, of Happy Valley, and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, 23, of Southeast Portland, were also stabbed. Best, an Army veteran and Portland city employee, and Namkai-Meche, who earned an economics degree from Reed College last year, didn't make it.

  • Making Monsters: Right-Wing Creation of the Liberal Enemy
    Making Monsters: Right-Wing Creation of the Liberal Enemy A Thesis Presented to The Division of History and Social Sciences Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Laura Jedeed May 2019 Approved for the Division (Political Science) Alexander Montgomery Acknowledgments First and foremost, I must thank my thesis advisor, Alexander Montgomery, for guiding me through this process, suggesting literature, and helping this thesis find its direction and purpose. Thank you also to Paul Gronke, my first reader and mentor. Both of you helped me mold and shape this thesis: I could not have done this without you. To whatever extent this document makes a cogent point, it is due to your patient guidance. Thank you also to my third and fourth readers, Radhika Natarajan and Ellen Millender, for your time in reading and responding to this work. A special thank you to Ellen, who has taught me so much about writing over the past three years and whose Roman history class remains eerily relevant to my work with the far right. Thank you to the Reed professors whose classes made this thesis possible. Thank you Ben Lazier for your incredible and life-changing class on Hannah Arendt and totalitarianism. Your use of Arendt to analyze the alt-right helped me to see nuance within the far-right milieu, and your conference leadership helped me become a clearer, bolder thinker. An enormous thank you also to Morgan Luker for teaching me about ethnography and encouraging me to interview people despite my social anxiety. Without your Musical Ethnography class, this thesis would have been impossible.

  • The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Urges Non-Violence As
    The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler urges non-violence as feds decline to revoke Sunday rally permit By Jessica Floum June 1, 2017 Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler urged those planning to participate in Sunday's demonstrations to "exercise common sense" and "reject violence" after federal officials announced Wednesday that they will not revoke the permit for a pro-Trump free speech rally set to take place across from City Hall Sunday. Wheeler had asked federal officials to revoke the permit in a Facebook post Monday following the double murder of two heroes protecting teens from racist and islamophobic vitriol on the MAX. He said the demonstration would "only exacerbate a difficult situation." The request drew criticism from free speech advocates, the American Civil Liberties Union and local conservative leaders. The federal Government Services Administration announced Wednesday that they would not revoke the permit for Sunday's demonstration because it was lawfully obtained. The agency oversees the Terry Schrunk Plaza property across from Portland City Hall, where the rally is set to take place. Wheeler said in a statement Wednesday that he respects federal officials' decision, but remains "concerned about the safety of Portlanders, both in and around the protest." Several protests have organized in opposition to Sunday's pro-Trump free speech rally. About 1,000 people indicated on Facebook that they plan to attend an event sponsored by more than 30 immigrant rights, mental health and religious groups. The coalition, Portland Stands United Against Hate, has planned a demonstration opposing the pro-Trump rally. Nico Judd, coalition organizer and a member of the Portland International Socialist Organization, said the city approved a permit for the event on Wednesday, promising a presence from the Portland Police Bureau.
