"Yesterday's rainy weather (which tried and failed to put a damper on Portland's Emergency World Naked Bike Ride) will taper off today and eventually reveal sunny weather for the next couple of days, with highs hitting temps of around 65. (Oh, and lest I forget to mention it later, fuck Christopher Columbus and stop celebrating colonizers.) And now, get ready for some butt-ass nekkid NEWS."
Portland experienced rainy weather that failed to stop the Emergency World Naked Bike Ride, which promotes body positivity, highlights fossil fuel dependence, and protested ICE deportations. Forecasts predict tapering rain and several sunny days with highs near 65. Celebration of Christopher Columbus should be rejected and colonizers should not be celebrated. Federal agents, including ICE, have increased violent tactics in response to criticism, using gas and pepper balls against largely peaceful protesters at the Portland ICE facility. Small monthly contributions sustain local newsreporting, arts and culture coverage, event calendars, and community events throughout the year.
