that's hurtful to read on a number of counts.

1)

"Why did you join the antifascist protesters?" Tan: "Election night happened, and then that next night [protesters] started going out...I was exhilarated—and then the police showed up. I realized that people were willing to get hurt because this was something they never wanted to happen and they were willing to risk their lives to have it end.

So, uh, Portland Antifa is willing to risk their lives thinking they could end the Presidency?

2)

"When I saw that Trump just got elected," Tan recalls, "I was saying this is going to be a police state, there's going to be violence against people of color, there are going to be mass deportations."

Why was Tan saying this? Who actually thinks this? How long will it take before any of this doesn't happen for someone to go, "Shit, I guess I was completely f*cking bonkers to think that could happen?"

3)

I watched my friends do May Day, and I thought what they were doing wasn't 100 percent acceptable. They were just doing stuff to break stuff and wreck stuff.

Um, breaking and wrecking stuff is as far from 100 percent acceptable as you can get. Yet Tan kept hanging out with them?

4)

How did your banishment change your views on Antifa? I still have the same views as them. I hate the government. I hate how our society is run. It's not that I don't have the same views as them. It's just that I'm not as aggressive. I'm an anarcho-pacifist. I'm like a diplomat.

By Tan's own admission ("I was saying this was going to be a police state", etc.) and not knowing what cops are supposed to do (serve and protect, not banter with protesters) Tan doesn't have any idea what the government actually does, or how society is actually run...but Tan hates it. Hates it enough that Tan has the same views as people who "break stuff and wreck stuff." And that Tan's cool, just being a representative of these people as a pacifist...one who just nurses those going out to battle the government.

Well, Portland, you're welcome to Tan.

I'd like to see a Tan and Alabama Sorority Girl reality show.

Tan might've been the roommate who was pacifistically telling her "you shouldn't post that...really...I mean, you-do-you, but that isn't going to work out well..."

I don’t really care for Baja Fresh... I ate at that location a few weeks ago and wasn’t impressed. First time I’d had it in years. The food lacks flavor and the salsa ant even that good.

Exactly. Seemed like decent quality old people food.
