Portland's focus on new shelters may reduce opportunities to house people - Street Roots Since 2021, Portland all but eliminated spending that could open new doors for homeless Portlanders transitioning out of the shelter system into housing.

The apparent shifts and gaps in our investments reflect the fact that under the old form of government, priorities were dictated by the commissioner in charge β€” meaning our City hasn’t had a consistent vision for addressing our homelessness and housing affordability crises.

Members of the Oregon Education Association met Friday and Saturday for our PAC Convention and 75% of participants voted not to endorse a gubernatorial candidate. We are sending a message to our electeds and candidates: no longer will you be able to do the bare minimum and get our support.

I need someone to run against Senator Taylor.

She hasn't faced a primary in a decade, and you got almost two years to prepare for your campaign. She isn't a formidable candidate.

You can beat her! 🫡

Preschool for All addresses an affordability crisis head on, saving families an average of $18,600 per child.

Soon thousands more families will save money as we prepare to nearly double seat allocations next school year.

Universal tuition-free preschool in Multnomah County is near.

A nearly blind Rohingya refugee who spoke no English was abandoned by Border Patrol, and his family was never notified of his release.

He is now dead.

Border Patrol agents dropped him off at a doughnut shop last Thursday and left him to find his way home, which was 5 miles away.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

I was on threads for like three days when it first came out and could not get out of there fast enough. Somehow the very worst aspects of social media all congealed there almost immediately.

A white cat with tabby spots stands on his hind legs on a tile kitchen floor. He looks very tall and strong.

Clause 36 in Meatball’s rider says that when he stands up like this we all have to say, β€œSo tall and strong!”

We're pediatricians. We see how ICE is harming children. | Opinion Liam Ramos is one of more than 1,700 children to have been put in family detention centers since 2025. We call for these centers to close.

A group of pediatricians wrote an op-ed detailing the traumatic, lasting effects kids in detention centers will endure:

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.

The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

It’s always sad when someone dies young, but I never watched whatever that show Van Der Beek was on, so I’m just over here mourning Harold.
