“Far from being "performative" as the Metro Chamber suggested, this pledge from the Peacock councilors is a bright light from their north star. It shows their dedication to universal justice and human rights, not to slicing and dicing morality in the name of political expediency.“

Sincere or not the fact that this is being said publicly is a really good thing.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

“But you ran on cleaning up the garbage!”
Yes…and people are not garbage. And a lot of the garbage at encampments comes from illegal dumping from housed people.
We should just stop people from becoming homeless in the first place.

Portland’s Mayor, much of City Council, and many Portlanders spent recent days aligning themselves directly with Trump’s policies towards our precariously housed and homeless neighbors, while rabidly promoting a local extension of it.
It’s been utterly disgraceful and profoundly disappointing.

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

Just ONE time my cat tricked me into believing his food dispenser didn’t work so I gave him extra dinner and now he yells at me every night because he thinks he gets TWO dinners! Basically made the auto dispenser irrelevant.

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.

Portland Said It Was Investing in Homeless People’s Safety. Deaths Have Quadrupled.
The city responded to an increase in homeless deaths by intensifying encampment sweeps and adding emergency shelter at the expense of permanent housing. Experts say this has perpetuated the problem.

And can I just remind everyone that police have a Special Revenue Fund that they are MANDATED by the feds to spend down? Just untouched dollars, sitting there. You can’t supplant the budget with it but it’s pretty flexible.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

I voted HELL NO on a CR deal that betrays millions of people who rallied, organized, and voted to save health care for 20 million Americans. Giving into a bully does nothing to stop him. I’ll keep fighting against Trump’s authoritarianism and attempts to gut community resources.

Over the weekend, the Mayor started calling nonprofits warning them their funding would disappear if this passed. 🙃 Except… most of them don’t even get money from that sweeps budget.

We basically have a split council and the left has to mobilize if we want to win on these crucial issues.
The reactionaries with show up foaming at the mouth and councilors on the fence have to see that there is the same or greater energy in favor of funding rent assistance.
Organize or lose.

Indeed. The idea that @councilormorillo.bsky.social's amendment is a huge problem is just nutty in this context.
The idea that this vote hinges on whether people think sweeps are good or bad is so bizarre to me. If the Mayor and CA want to do sweeps, then wouldn’t finding the money to pay for it be the first step? They propose to blow through their Contingency because they don’t have the money.

Mayor Wilson could’ve called me to clarify and ask questions before blasting us in a newsletter, but of course he has to find a scapegoat when he doesn’t magically end homelessness on 12/1 by warehousing people.
Looking forward to clarifying this tomorrow.

Just talked with a professor from France who informed me that they just don’t do evictions in the winter where he’s from and that that’s extremely normal. It would be a BATTLE to get a policy like that in Portland.
