The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is a government agency that coordinates medical care and social well-being in the Beaver State. During the pandemic, OHA was responsible for coordinating Oregon's vaccination drive and disseminating information about COVID-19—both vital tasks.
The agency's office for equity and inclusion, however, prefers not to rush the business of government. In fact, the office's program manager delayed a meeting with partner organizations on the stated grounds that "urgency is a white supremacy value."
In an email obtained by Reason, Regional Health Equity Coalition Program Manager Danielle Droppers informed the community that a scheduled conversation between OHA officials and relevant members of the public would not take place as planned.
"Thank you for your interest in attending the community conversation between Regional Health Equity Coalitions (RHECs) and Community Advisory Councils (CACs) to discuss the Community Investment Collaboratives (CICs)," wrote Droppers. "We recognize that urgency is a white supremacy value that can get in the way of more intentional and thoughtful work, and we want to attend to this dynamic. Therefore, we will reach out at a later date to reschedule."

No. We're far more generous. They can have the whole left coast.

How generous. And an international border as well? You'd be giving them the most beautiful part of America in my opinion.

After the neverending stream of headlines that outrage you over and over and over and over again you gotta start wondering if they're doing it on purpose, right? Like they're just agitating you for the purpose of starting some kind of war between the two sides. The further the sides grow apart the closer we come to an ACTUAL war.
They're hitting all the right notes lately to make it happen.
