Portland’s TV and film industry creates and supports a lot of good jobs. Council proclaimed today to be Shrill Day, honoring the Portland-filmed Hulu show starring Aidy Bryant that's based on Lindy West’s book. Shrill is now filming its third season here. We can’t wait to watch.
Domestic violence devastates Portlanders of all ages and backgrounds. Today, City Council proclaimed October Domestic Violence Awareness Month, honoring the organizations working to address, prevent, and heal the harm caused by domestic violence.
Many Portlanders are struggling financially due to the pandemic. That’s why the City will distribute $500 prepaid debit cards to help 2,800 Portlanders with food, dependent care, medicine, rent, utilities, and transportation.
The threat of wildfire is not increasing for @multco. @clackamasfire & @pdxfiire confirm the fires in @clackamascounty are not moving in a way that would shift any part of @multco to an evacuation level. There are no orders of evacuation — here’s why.
@tedwheeler if you provided us with information and guidance, that would be helpful and would keep us aware. If you were working on a plan and informing us of evacuation routes and safety locations that would help us stay safe.
Today, I issued a City of Portland Emergency Order due to the extreme wildfire conditions threatening lives and property, including wildfire threats to the City of Portland and the greater Portland Metropolitan area. Please stay informed and stay safe. https://t.co/D8JAQQmxWf
Hey Teddy! Still no word about next steps huh? Would you like to provide any form of leadership around the world burning around us? C’mon- @tedwheeler do your fucking job.
In your press release- you state that you expect to see those engaging in criminal activity arrested. Are the white folks who open carry during protest or drive cars off the road in their caravans being held to that standard?
Effective immediately, I am directing the Portland Police Bureau to end the use of CS gas for crowd control until further notice. We need something different. We need it now. https://t.co/z5ny0okSir
Did you and @realDonaldTrump meet for tea this morning? Could you be anymore vague? Your police force has been escalating the violence and supporting the white supremacist actions. What is your exact call to action?
@tedwheeler the people you work for are angry, scared, disheartened. Maybe take a break from using violent force towards people fighting for their rights to not be murdered & offer some guidance as this fire continues to ravage our neighboring counties? Wake up Teddy!
