@kathleen_belew @prisonculture I don’t mean to quibble, because I think it’s relevant and mostly overlooked. Using amazon as a link resource is utilizing and raising up one of the pioneers of total control of a channel (book sales, later consumer goods, and internet cloud storage).
Did you know that according to @HUDgov, fair market rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the Portland metro is now over $1600/month? Rent has increased more than 40% in the past five years. Homelessness rates are closely tied to the cost of housing.
We can't afford to elect a governor who would take OR ⬅️. This year, there are 2 candidates who would do just that: "pro-Trump, pro-life” Drazan + "machine-gun toting darling of GOP megadonors" Betsy Johnson. An #orpol#orgov must-read from @rollingstone: https://t.co/YacZIZCXNo
