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

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

you can't actually run as a "democrat" by running against democracy

just say you won't fuck with the programs that hundreds of thousands of voters in the portland region have democratically enacted using long-established process, and you have my vote.

otherwise hard pass

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!

Kotek stands for Oregon values like “prioritizing rich people whining about tax burden over preschool students”

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.

hi guys im the mayor and i don't even go to meetings

maybe it would get people to pay the arts tax

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.

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.

This is good and higher branches of government should get on the city’s level.

Preschool for all, or Slave Labor Plastic In Ocean Jobs? I’ll take P4A

Hearing that the billionaire CEO of Columbia Sportswear might be persuaded to keep his company in Oregon if only the state government agrees to stop the county government from letting kids to go to preschool

extremely disgusting to watch her sit in background of an anti-tax press conference nodding in agreement with Tim Boyle while he attacks preschool for all.

Tina Kotek is a lap dog for the rich.

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:

oh man i wish it didn't feel so completely unfamiliar when a good thing happens!!

It's the answer to the question, "Can she write-o?"
