THE BLACK BYLINE: Mitch Green & Macklemore’s “Spicy” White Dissent - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They tryin’ to shut down the clubs that my city rocks / Now Mr. Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance?/ Music it saves lives, these kids out here are supporting it/ And through the artform we’ve learned the importance of community—Macklemore, “The Town” (2009) In true election season fashion, some “dirt” has been dug up on an incumbent candidate. The “dirt” in question involves a series of tweets Councilor Mitch Green posted throughout 2020 admonishing the police, and even the “pure hatred” h
THE BLACK BYLINE: A Q&A with Union Organizer Chris Smalls - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He didn’t know it then—but the moment Chris Smalls walked out of his job, he was on the path to sparking a revolution. Smalls had spent six years working at JFK8, a massive Amazon fulfillment center in New York City. But at the outset of the pandemic, after witnessing scores of warehouse colleagues working without protective gear, and what he felt was a lack of urgency to support fellow frontline employees, he leapt into action.

THE BLACK BYLINE: Maury Povich vs Thomas Jefferson and America’s 250th Birthday - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
—Russell Crowe as Maximus, Gladiator (2003) If Maury—the longrunning daytime talk show hosted by Maury Povich—were around in 1776, Thomas Jefferson would have been the perfect guest—I’m talking season opener level. Jefferson, the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence, allegedly had secret children that he not only owned, but lived with—all while married with another wife and family. If that’s not a daytime talk show plot line, I don’t know what is. America turned 250 this month, and this
