Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Is there anyone running against @tinakotek.bsky.social who wants to reform ODOT, capture Trump tax cuts for state & local programs, and doesn't take marching orders to destroy preschool for all to give a tax cut to wealthy people who just got a handout from Trump? We deserve better than her!

The mayor and his administrators appear to have thrown the former housing bureau director under the bus to kill social housing at the city.

This is a huge scandal.

Interesting to see this happening here as Newport, Oregon, just a 2+ hour jaunt from Portland, faces threats of a new detention center. I won’t speculate, but I am a little curious how things might be playing out if the coastal town had a similar ordinance.

This is good and higher branches of government should get on the city’s level.
ICE will have to pay a fee to operate its Portland detention center under new city policy
The policy will charge property owners for detention facilities that negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood, like the ICE facility in South Portland.

We spent the past month (months?) talking w/ protesters detained at Portland's ICE bldg about their experiences. We heard everything from being questioned about antifa, to not being read Miranda rights, to photos w/ arresting officers.

Their stories point to a slapdash, chaotic federal operation:
Those arrested at Portland ICE protests recount disparate, confusing treatment by federal officers
OPB interviewed more than a dozen people who were arrested at the ICE protests between June and October. What they described was an apparent lack of standard operating procedures as various federal la...
