An inspiring night at the @ULPDX gala hearing from the Black women in our city I look up to like @RukaiyahAdams & @TrueNkenge who are fighting for Portland every day. We are "community rich" as they say 🥹🫶🏾 & I love running into @themayoress & meeting Ivan McClellan!
$400 million for this project in light of 10,000 people homeless and most unsheltered this winter is irresponsible and misguided. Priority is people.

@belladevil "But I deserve my soccers and people who make me feel bad about it are bad."
It's sad how many have just moved on. Never a mention of accountability steps in newsletters or other message platforms. Business as usual.
“Overdoses went up basically everywhere,” Davis told OPB. “What didn’t happen, is that they didn’t seem to go up more in Oregon after Measure 110 went into effect."

GREAT NEWS: The Portland City Council has unanimously approved the @PDXCleanEnergy Climate Investment Plan!!! 🥳👏🏾
This huge win is in no small part to the countless advocates who have been organizing in front of & behind the scenes to secure this vision for the next 5yrs. Woo!
@Dame_Lillard Some of your supporters may be vision impaired and can't read your image unless you add alt text. Good luck with the remainder of your career. You did a lot of good in the Portland community.
I'm on Bluesky. Will delete my account by 11:59. Would love to see (some) of you there.
Ciao and fuck you @elonmusk. Please shove @x completely up your ass.

Portland has provided its amicus support by joining along with the League of Oregon Cities, Association of Idaho Cities, Special Districts Association of Oregon, and the Washington State Association of Municipal Attorneys.
The Martin and Johnson decisions have dramatically undermined the ability of cities in the 9th Circuit to confront externalities of the homeless crisis. In Oregon, House Bill 3115 further tied cities' hands.
These decisions and Oregon law have given unsanctioned campers elevated rights, whether they are our children or felons straight off the bus from Florida. All at the expense of ordinary Oregon residents and cities.
To improve livability in Oregon cities, we badly need the Supreme Court to review Martin & Johnson and for the Oregon Legislature to rethink some of its recent legislation on homelessness, as well as drugs and criminal justice reform (more on that later).
Until that happens, Portland and Multnomah County need to continue to work together to find solutions to the crises on our streets.
Dogooders, unite! This is your dogooder superhero signal. 🚨
Hoping to amplify this opportunity for the PDX area. I'd LOVE for you to join us AND could use a hand spreading the word. Let's do this!#pdx#pdxvolunteer
