@sunnylohmann Oh, you poor thing. You had to sit in a coffeeshop with brown people, and they spoke another language.

@KATUNews Hopefully anybody that got one of the horses will do the right thing.

[Fr. Chris Vorderbruggen @FatherChrisVor1]

I have been holding my tongue about something that happened during the Ohio gubernatorial race. I refused to speak while the election was underway because I did not want my words mistaken for an attempt to influence anyone’s vote.

But now that the election is over, I have something to say.

For nearly twenty years, my ministry has taken me among the homeless, the abused, the exploited, and the forgotten. I have sat with victims of sexual violence and witnessed the lifelong wounds of childhood trauma.

What Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign did to Amy Acton was among the most morally repulsive things I have witnessed in American politics.

They took a woman whose stepfather was indicted for raping her when she was twelve years old and featured her mother, from whom she had been estranged for nearly fifty years, in a political advertisement attacking her credibility.

The advertisement challenged Acton’s account of her childhood without mentioning the sexual abuse allegations or the circumstances of that estrangement. When people expressed their horror, the campaign defended it.

Imagine examining another person’s childhood suffering and fractured family relationships, then deciding those wounds might help win an election.

Anyone who has worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse understands the painful realities of denial, betrayal, shame, and estrangement. A child growing into a successful adult does not erase what happened. Nor does a parent’s denial make that suffering disappear.

I find it equally disturbing that an elderly mother, whom Acton herself described as unwell, was brought into this spectacle. Whatever her own struggles or responsibility for the past, exploiting that fractured relationship was grotesque.

To everyone who defended this, consider the message you sent to survivors. To the young woman whose family refuses to believe her. To the man who has carried the shame of childhood abuse for forty years. To the frightened child who has yet to tell anyone.

What did you teach them about the value of their suffering?

I am a priest. I believe in repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. But none of those things requires me to pretend that deliberate cruelty is anything less than a grave moral failure.

Your political allegiance does not absolve you of moral responsibility. You do not get to set aside your conscience during an election and retrieve it afterward.

If your loyalty requires you to defend the exploitation of a childhood sexual abuse survivor, your loyalty has become an idol. And if your conscience cannot recognize the wrong here, examine what political tribalism has done to it.

This is not about Republicans or Democrats. We have a choice as a people: continue excusing cruelty from our preferred political camp, or summon the courage to condemn it wherever it appears.

Amy Acton deserved better. Every survivor who watched this unfold deserved better.

And God help us if we have reached the point where winning an election matters more than protecting the dignity of a wounded human being.

@pdxmoderate The video has been proven to be a deep fake. Her speach is heavily edited with AI with several key english words repeated over and the background has been altered.

@Susan_G_530 They look like waxwings. It is hard to tell against the sun but waxwings flock in the fall and eat berries so droppings will look fruity and chunky and they poop a lot from it. They would be eating those tiny hard red berries now. COOL VISIT IF THEY ARE WAXWINGS!!!

@pdxmoderate Herman Greene is the idiot that brought in Procedeo to run and plan oversight to Highschool renewal bond that has had nothing but trouble, cost overruns and failed to invest properly. Greene has also openly lied about endorsements.

@KATUNews The social worker was complicit and should be criminaly charged as well.

@DovePortland Baseball was loosing money in this town. The team going away and having the stadium be turned into soccer stadium was one of the best deals this city has made.

[Karl Scheller @SchellerKarl]

@pdxmoderate We have programs like Urban Alchemy where it was the 'moderate' city council members that gutted accountability out of the program. I have seen women pick up their drug dealing boyfriends in vans on monday mornings around Urban Alchemy as their men 'mask' as homeless.

@Dan_Christensen That is one scary dog giving the evil eye.

@WandMatt @t_hafer @Susan_G_530 The building was already approved to be demolished. All the fire did was quicken the process.

[Karl Scheller @SchellerKarl]

@stacey4_b @Susan_G_530 YEP! That is exactly how it is done.

[Karl Scheller @SchellerKarl]

@Susan_G_530 @WandMatt You can not get building permits for a multi use building without proper geological and seismic studies. That site was listed as toxic prior to the fire which means a developer needs to have a clear process to deal with toxic cleanup. He was never going to get a permit.

[Karl Scheller @SchellerKarl]

@t_hafer @WandMatt @Susan_G_530 Nobody is going to get a building permits without geological and seismic studies for a multi use building complex and that building was not going to be repurposed. It was condemned and the plan was to demolish it.

@momma_pdx The really shocking thing it was the leftists that were sounding the alarms about Urban Alchemy turning into a drug trafficking epicenter. That was Wheeler's and our current mayors pet project...and I am sure he will spin it to blame the peacocks.

[Karl Scheller @SchellerKarl]

@KATUNews Ohhhhh....Well look at that Urban Alchemy is trafficking drugs inside of Oldtown. I am shocked!
