There are a lot of Portlanders who consider themselves progressive but turn reactionary when they see visible poverty.

The urge to just make poverty disappear from sight instead of working toward holistic solutions is why we don’t have nice things in this country.

Poverty is a social creation.

I oppose the resumption of sweeps beginning tomorrow. They are costly, ineffective and cruel. At a time when our Federal government is literally starving our most vulnerable neighbors, we add to that by violently taking from them what little they have? My statement attached.

Like I said: Kristi Noem is a liar, has no honor, and we are lucky that we have a proud protest tradition that shows this administration we are not backing down. 🫡🐸🐔

A hundred plus people, and growing, are gathered at Portland City Hall for the “Duty to Disobey” demonstration. The call is for US military veterans to honor their oath and stand against Trump’s deployment of the military on U.S. soil (and against foreign wars).

Portland will not bend to Trumpism. We will not be shocked into compliance with his overtly racist, and violent attacks on our most vulnerable neighbors. We must get organized and refuse to allow his authoritarianism to be normalized in our city. Use your voice, be smart and safe, and stand strong.

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

The Portland Metro Chamber, which over the past five years has constructed the narrative that Portland is a crime-infested city where you can't go anywhere to feel safe, said in a press conference that Portlanders should fight against Trump's deployment of federal agents by purchasing more things.

A veteran w/ disabilities will stay in his Portland home after nearly being evicted over unpaid rent he didn't know he owed. With swift intervention from a tenant union and a city councilor, the eviction case was dismissed. Tenant rights advocates say the case highlights a broken housing system.

My office has produced a brief report that addresses the tax burden myths that are driving the current push to halt the Preschool for All revenue collection. Credit goes to my Senior Policy Advisor and Chief Economist Dr. Erik Dean. Bottom line: taxes are not driving people out of the county 🧵

To wrap, we’re basically at a crossroads in the economic history of our city. We can imagine a much different picture than what we have. We can have social housing superblocks downtown, excellent transit, with a vibrant and free waterfront for all. Let’s get that bag.

Our Prosper Portland budget amendment DOES NOT defund economic development programs or small business resources. @councilordunphy.bsky.social & I are proposing Council to direct Prosper to use its Strategic Investment Fund instead of the City’s general fund to keep their operations & programs intact

It is WILD to watch a supposedly public agency spread disinformation to get a whole community worked up and protect their own bottom line.

Prosper Portland is sitting on a $50m slush fund that they did not earn and want Portland to cut parks maintenance and permitting staff.

Wild.
