The orange-faced turd with a combover that sits in the Whitehouse thinks Portland is “Like living in hell” and has hinted he may send the National Guard here. Meanwhile, Portland does not give a toss what that jackass thinks, and we all remember what happened the last time he sent unmarked, masked police to randomly kidnap people off the streets. That truly was like living in a dystopian hell. Get bent Donny. This “Portland is what me make it” sign is in the window at Crafty Wonderland in their Alberta Street location, and has been for a few years. It’s kind of a reverse Portlandia episode, instead of “Put a bird on it” it’s “Put a skateboard on it.”

Douchebag rightwing video personality Tim Pool tried to co-opt a local DIY scene in Martinsburg, WV by throwing money at them unsolicited. When rebuffed publicly, he ended up buying the property as an “investment.” While the spot still remains open, and skateable, the locals are less than keene to engage anymore due to uncertainty about what Pool will do, and not wanting to be involved with a guy who associates with White Nationalists and says things like “Vice President Kamala Harris is Hitler and Stalin combined but times 200.” To be fair, the spot looks like it could use a cash infusion, but Pool’s offer (20k!) was for the purse in a trick contest and not for the spot itself. According to the article, Pool himself admitted he bought the spot partially to get back at the “woke” crowd that didn’t want his involvement. The locals have been taunting him (“Tim Pool can’t slappy.”) and he has posted videos to debunk that, bragging about his “first try” tricks. So yeah, another stable genius. Money can’t buy you a decent personality. Yo, Barry, can you believe this? Source: Washington Post via Yahoo News. Thanks to Troy Sliter for the tip.

It’s Indigenous Peoples day. Here’s more Joe Buffalo. This video by the New York Times is a little more stylized than perhaps it needed to be, but overall it’s very heavy. What else could you expect from the aftereffects of Kill the Indian; Save the Child and the boarder school assimilation programs?

Leo Baker (né Lacey Baker) coming out as transgender has all the narrow-minded and transphobes up in arms, especially because it meant he couldn’t represent his country at the Olympics. Oh for shame, for shame… Yes, the skateboarding community is gradually becoming more inclusive to the LGBQT population, but you know, there’s still a lot of knuckleheads out there, especially when it comes to so-called “core” skaters. Although I’m sure it only scratches the surface, this Time Magazine article provides really good insight into Leo’s journey and decision. It’s a must read for anybody that naively parrots “Why doesn’t he just skate and leave his personal life out of it?” [Photos: Ethan James Green for TIME]

Normally I’m against using your local skatepark to film an RC car commercial, hold a nerf battle, drop off your scooter kids like it’s a daycare, or basically any non-skateboarding related usage of skatepark. However, in this case, I’m happy to make an exception, albeit ultimately sad that it has come to this… again. Welcome to the Derek Chauvin murder trial. These pics come from BennyCruz via Public Enemy. Fight the power.

Bernie Sanders inauguration memes have definitely slowed down, but new ones are still trickling in. Bernie used that popularity to raise $1.8 Million (!!) to be donated to Vermont based charities, most of them battling food insecurity. One notable exception is the Nono-profit Chill Foundation, described as a positive youth development program where boardsports become a vehicle for empowerment. Unlike some so-called benefactors, you can bet that the funds will actually make it to the charities in question, and that is apparently…. radical. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) Source: Forbes.

Disorder has an interview with Joe Buffalo a skateboarder and actor from Maskwacis, Alberta and the Samson Cree Nation. The interview is from April of this year, and his pro model for Colonialism Skateboards has already sold out. You should also check out this more recent CBC radio interview with Joe. – Thanks to Heidi Randall for the tip.

That’s the story. Anthony Huber died trying to disarm Kyle Rittenhouse at a BLM protest. Kyle shot 3 people and killed 2. He is a domestic terrorist. Comments will be moderated heavily on this pos, bootlickers and racists need not apply. Photos: Left: Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images | Right Chicago Sun Times.  

These stills are from a devastating gun violence in schools PSA from Sandy Hook Promise that starts out as a familiar “Back to School Essentials” commercial that takes a dark turn pretty quickly. Very timely in light of the season and recent tweets from that idiot Huckabee.

Stay in your own lane Mike Huckabee. Leave the skate-harassment of Beto to the professionals. This isn’t a laughing matter, but Dr. Schapiro sure made my day.
