The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Nothing like holding a gilded Gatsby party while killing the food lifeline for 40 million people.

I was pretty upset to learn about this. I think this was a poor decision and it threatens to set us back. We need people like Director Hisserich to help us chart a path out of our high cost housing system, and actually build something that working class folks can afford. 🚩

They always manage to figure out a way to blame women of color who are on their side.

Evelyn 💗 @evieevolving.bsky.social · 10h

Do they not realize that pricing landlords out of feasibly being able to rent to ICE would accomplish the same as shutting down the ICE facility?

If they don’t, then woof, that’s dumb. If they do, then WOOF, THAT’S DUMB.

At this point I’m fairly sure these people are feds. One city councilor can’t be expected to take on the entire federal government, especially when the facility in question is at the center of multiple lawsuits, has been visited by a Cabinet member, and has attention from POTUS.

if the other side is building barracks and rounding up the homeless, we need to do better by building housing and refuse to make enemies of our homeless neighbors.

portland should show what a housing first approach can do without the cruelty of sweeps.

Mitch Green @councilorgreen.bsky.social · 11h

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.

Councilor Mitch Green
Portland City Council, District 4
1221 SW 4th Ave. # 240, Portland, OR, 97204
Media Contact: Maria Sipin, Chief of Staff
maria.sipin2@portlandoregon.gov
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Councilor Mitch Green’s Statement on November 1st Camping Ban Enforcement
Policy
October 30, 2025
“We have seen ICE and the National Guard perform homeless sweeps in other cities where
they've been deployed, and we’ve heard Trump calling for increased sweeps and even
disappearance of unhoused people.
It is a bad, cruel, and failed policy when the Trump administration does it, and it is a bad,
cruel, and failed policy when the city of Portland does it.
As we face the very real possibility of federal troops being deployed to our streets to target
one group of vulnerable people, we absolutely cannot start using our own police to do their
work for them by targeting another.
Some will argue that sweeps are about safety and compassion, but the evidence is clear
and overwhelming. Sweeps kill people.
For far too long, Portland has pursued a failed policy of criminalizing poverty. As a result,
we’ve spent hundreds of millions of dollars only to see the problem grow, and deaths among
our homeless neighbors quadruple between 2019 and 2023.
It’s time to change direction. We need to protect ALL Portlanders.

We need to focus on programs that move people closer to housing and stability, not policies
that punish and further destabilize. Programs like low-barrier jobs programs, direct rental
assistance, food aid, and day shelters that provide hygiene, clothing, and case management.
Programs like these are humane, cost-effective, and they work. They address the issue of
visible poverty that neighbors and businesses are concerned about, but they do so by
offering dignity, not displacement. They break the cycle of disappointment and
depression—where people spend all day waiting in lines, worrying about their belongings,
with no meaningful work. They are a hand up, not a sweep away.
But at the end of the day, the only real, lasting solution to homelessness is to provide deeply
affordable housing for all. Unless we stop the flow of folks onto the streets, we’re never
going to make real progress. That is why we need to move aggressively towards a Social
Housing model— high quality, permanently affordable housing that will serve the vast
majority of Portlanders, from the unhoused to the middle class.
The choice before us is clear. We can either align ourselves with the politics of division, of
sweeps, of cages, and of death, or we can choose the politics of solidarity, of housing, of
healthcare, and of life.”

1. The commercial was done by Ontario, not Canada itself, which is run by someone in the opposing party to Carney. He had nothing to do with it.
2. Commercial was not "false." It was entirely accurate.
3. Reagan hated tariffs.

Stop just letting him lie constantly.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16h

Trump on Mark Carney: "He apologized for what they did with the commercial. Because it was a false commercial. It was the exact opposite. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. And he did apologize."

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.
