@tedwheeler You just ordered the eviction of about 75 of your poorest and most vulnerable residents during a pandemic in the middle of winter. People can’t stay safe when they’re being harassed and forced out of their pods by your cops and having their possessions stolen.
@magaviruskills@drtcarpenter@tedwheeler I’m a homeowner. I live in a neighborhood with a heavy homeless presence. I disapprove of the sweeps and want my extra taxes to go towards providing homes and services, not booting helpless people out of their small patch.
Don’t use me and my mortgage as your excuse for cruelty.
Anyone claiming that me being mayor would have the same outcomes for vulnerable Portlanders as Wheeler is 100% wrong. Unhoused, LGBTQ, and BIPOC Portlanders are FAR worse off the next four years.
Time to knock off the personality politics and focus on progressive policy, people.
And if you don’t find this compelling how about the fact the voters voted in a law and their own city attorney and resources are going to argue that the law is not constitutional because money is free speech. 87.4% of voters! How is this not a huge scandal?!?
So @tedwheeler is suing the City of Portland for fining him for breaking the law. He is literally suing the taxpayers in the middle of a pandemic for enforcing campaign finance laws.
@Bsand13@Seanchai@florentincruz@axios I live in Portland. Nothing is on fire. The smoke is coming from the wildfires caused by climate change. The “antifa” are holding peaceful rallies and feeding the homeless.
As a journalist in the Pacific Northwest, I’m feeling not so great about the president telling a hate group that has already targeted my city to “stand by.”
Not. So. Great.
@veryann0yed my dog found a pizza crust but was so thrilled she didn’t know how to process it and just sat there shocked for five whole minutes drooling on the couch
