Right now, Portland is part of a misinformation campaign. The Oregonian/OregonLive is working hard to slow lies being spread about our city www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Trump’s antifa roundtable made some wild claims about Portland. Here’s the truth about 7 of them

Portland was mentioned repeatedly during the roundtable event.

Jesuit's class of players who left after the 2024 fall season looked like an all-star roster. Despite so many players leaving, the Crusaders are still the team to beat in Class 6A #opreps

Despite a major roster shift, Jesuit girls soccer still looks like the team to beat

The Crusaders had to say goodbye to a huge cast of players from last year. But they look like they haven't missed a beat.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem spent yesterday in Portland. Instead of the promised warzone, she saw a couple dozen protesters... and puppies... and Burgerville.

Kristi Noem came to Portland, and people protested with dogs, dancing: Get caught up

The Feds are giving right wing influencers and media outlets special privileges to the ICE building in Portland. They’re lying about local media getting the same access.
www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Feds grant ICE building access to conservative media, influencers, ignore local Portland press

Not all news organizations have been granted the same access to the ICE facility and the people who work there.
