“I should have the option to shoot at people who yell at me to do my job”

In an interview with OPB, Councilor Smith said about the protesters:

“They are getting more aggressive… they yelled at me ‘Do your job Councilor Smith.’"

The protester said she believed she was moving during a break in proceedings & remained peaceful when she went through the public testimony table & stood in front of the council, holding up the petition. She says security then placed her in a chokehold and pushed her toward the council dais.

New - A Portland activist delivered a petition with 19,000+ signatures demanding the city revoke the ICE permit. The city had her arrested. Days later, a councilor proposed allowing council members to openly carry firearms while conducting city business.

Multnomah County proposes closing 675 shelter beds to account for looming homeless services cuts Seven shelters could close entirely, one would have fewer county-funded beds and several motel voucher programs would end.

This week we learned that Mayor Wilson's shelter plan has plunged Portland deeper into a budget crisis. Meanwhile, at the county level, budget cuts could shutter nearly 700 shelter beds.

Literally got hit by a car crossing a crosswalk tonight. Dude stopped abruptly, in time not to hit hard, but he still did. I asked him to stop and he screamed at me and sped off.

Updated after speaking to the woman who Smith says made her feel unsafe.

“I didn’t have a weapon, I didn’t hit anyone," she tells me. "Why am I now being threatened with violence?”

It’s weird occasionally seeing the way America flattens the politics of other countries to act as commentary on their domestic situation.

Loretta Smith calls for open carry for Portland city councilors following latest protest The District 1 councilor said a Wednesday protest that ended in four arrests is the latest action at council meetings that has herself and her colleagues fearing for their safety.

After protesters interrupted a Portland council meeting Wednesday, one councilor is looking to loosen the city’s rules around carrying guns in City Hall.

Portland councilors again delay decision on unspent housing dollars A majority of the councilors said they needed more information on the newly identified pots of cash, each with its own rules on spending, rather than rushing the decision.

Portland city councilors again punted a months-long debate on how to spend unspent housing dollars. The debate divided the city’s District 1 councilors.

"Justice delayed is justice denied. And that’s exactly what we’re doing," said Councilor Smith.

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Any Democrat who sits through that fascist turd’s lies like a potted plant is a dangerous tool. It’s not even constitutionally required that you show up, or that this be a TV show! Presidents used to submit it to Congress by letter. Either don’t show up or use the dumb TV show to make some NOISE.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Discovering I was trans was the greatest blessing of my life. A simple explanation for a sense of wrongness I'd felt so long I thought that wrongness was me.

I credit the trans community for bringing society to the point where I could understand what was wrong and get help.

Portland is facing a $169 million budget deficit due to shelter and public safety costs The projected financial shortfall in the coming fiscal year reflects the city’s reliance on temporary cash.

Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline Damage from a burning pile of wood was minimal but police are investigating.

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

NIMBY Americans don't want human warehouses as neighbors. Weird! | Opinion Hello, I'm from the government, and I'd like to see what it's going to take to get your community into one of our new immigrant detention facilities!

Turns out not every community in America wants a patriotic detention facility, which is weird, because they’re really cool and not at all the physical manifestation of a barbaric federal effort to racist-ly reshape the demographic makeup of America.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.

Nothing that can help regular people is possible. Everything that can hurt regular people is easy to do. This is basically how most politicians act right now.
