There are two parts to this policy, and the nuisance fee part applies to the Macadam facility immediately.
IF the permit gets revoked (based on evidence they violated their land use permit) the entire detention fee would apply to be Macadam facility.

The new detention fee won’t immediately impact Portland’s ICE facility — it may only apply if the property owner renews the feds’ lease, which expires in 2033.
Portland City Council adopts new sanctions for detention facilities
While it’s not explicitly named in the policy, the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building would be the only facility impacted.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.
That makes 214.
We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

The average American outlives the ability to drive by 6 to 10 years (men vs women). Seniors deserve cities where they can independently get around, and not be isolated.
In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs.
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.
It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Even if the GOP ekes out a win I am going to be so proud of all the people who made them fight for this, y'all are amazing. 💕💖💃
We have the early vote from 8 counties so far in #TN07, and the results are consistent with a big overperformance by Democrats... but as to how close the race will be, the major caveat is that the GOP tends to be stronger on Election Day votes.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
