Prep for a protest, and be ready for a riot.
Before you go, take a bath or shower, and get any moisturizers or oils off your skin. Explanation in article.
Do not wear anything you want to keep.
Read up on precautions for tear gas and pepper sprays.
Be safe.

And like the other overnight shelters, families will need to leave in the morning.

OPB @opb.org · 22h

Unlike the city’s new overnight shelters, where people sleep in rows of beds in an open room, the family shelters will offer private rooms and they won’t accept walk-in guests.

Portland to open its first family homeless shelters next month

While precise data on homeless youth in Oregon is hard to find, national rankings often place the state at the top in the country for its number of unsheltered children per capita.

Hi, me again. It’s not Friday but I’ve got a
personal mutual aid request, specific to Seattle area.

Family friend lost their job and their housing. They tried to move back in with their parents but their parents said “Since you’re not a Christian you cannot stay in our home.” Big sigh.

hey there, benji. @benjaminfaye.bsky.social · 7d

When I was a homeless man living in Florida, there was a point when you couldn’t get SNAP benefits without enrolling in job training.

Why? Because the government assumed that if you needed help, it’s because you didn’t want a job.

As many as 60% of all unhoused people in America have jobs.

Are there Subaru nerd mechanic types out there who might be able to help?

Two Sundays ago my beloved Bratmobile sputtered & died while I was driving & it hasn't started since. I learned today that in order to get it back on the road, there's a crucial part that needs to be replaced, but my mechanic was unable to find one - it's been discontinued

I see how the Portland police interact with houseless people and they're god-damn cowards. It's made all the more obvious when medics arrive and walk right up to the person, squat down to their level, and start quietly talking to the person like a decent human rather than shouting from a distance.

Trump has directed the FBI to disrupt the Antifa organization. That's impossible to do without an organization, that the FBI would have to create, then organize people who dislike hierarchy in general in order to disrupt the organization that they organized.
