Food Assistance in Multnomah County We can help make it easier to get the food you need. SNAP/Food Stamps. Meal programs. Low-cost farmers markets. Food pantries.

A federal judge said the USDA must use SNAP contingency funds to pay out benefits during the shutdown; however, it’s unclear how soon people will receive them or how much they’ll receive. If you need help with groceries, the County has a list of food pantries, programs and other resources.

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

SNAP Meals: Where To Eat, No Questions Asked, During the Suspension of SNAP - Bridgetown Bites A list of SNAP Meals available at a number of restaurants, cafes, and food trucks in the Portland Metro area while SNAP is unfunded.

I've been compiling this list since yesterday afternoon, and am heartened and moved by the generosity of Portland's food world - restaurants, food carts, cafes, farmers markets. 33 businesses so far are providing free food/meals to SNAP recipients. #snapmeals #portland #bridgetownbites

I’m proud to see so many in our Portland community stepping up to make sure all have access to healthy and joyful meals while the federal government is failing us. Thanks for posting this list @bridgetownbites.bsky.social!

Uncle Sam billboard on I-5 goes from right-wing zingers to a statement of Native rights The 70-year saga of the Uncle Sam billboard on I-5 south of Chehalis and its provocative, right-wing messaging took an abrupt turn this summer when the billboard and the 3.5 acres on which it sits was...

We love to see it!

affordable housing and universal basic income would create so much joy in the world

ironically, only one of them is being framed as a threat to jews by the national media.

spoiler: it's not the one with the nazi tattoo.

ICONIC. Tomorrow is her birthday. Happy early birthday, Holly!

Definitely feels sinister. I opened my window to try to see what they were and said ‘what the fuck is that??’ Then noticed my right there neighbor taking bins to the curb.

Yeah, same. Weird how they were flying in line together.

I love that this extends to navigable rivers as well. It truly baffles me when I travel and find inaccessible waterfronts. Like, what do you mean you own the water’s edge?

These clowns make an excellent point about holding on to our joy. #NoKings #oakland

What did you think was going to happen when you got a ring camera in the first place?

Voting yes on the Portland Parks Levy because our parks are a blessed part of the Portland experience and @portlanddsa.bsky.social
is a proud endorser of the measure!

As someone who grew up around a brand of evangelical toxic paternalism I must say, controlling men feel threatened when they see people living free. It asks them to challenge their stereotypes about masculinity in a way that is very uncomfortable—they learn how weak their version of a man really is.

Stay safe out there y'all.

If you're biking nekkid, the high for today is only about 53° F, so make sure you have a plan to warm back up.

If you're *not* nekkid, it's a good idea to have the jail support number written discreetly somewhere on your body where it won't be easily rubbed off.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

a lot of work went into distorting and then memory holing what really happened in 2020, a year in which police officers beat peaceful protestors into a pulp on a daily basis

What Happens When Socialists Are in Charge? Portland Offers a Glimpse.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

Letter from Dan Ryan Dear Portlanders, Let’s be honest. Like many of you, I’ve been reflecting on President Trump’s decision to send the military to Portland. At the same time, I have been taking an objective inventory of the current state of our city. This I know is true: We don’t want to live in a country where the President sends in troops against the wishes our federal delegates in Congress, Governor Tina Kotek, Mayor Keith Wilson and local elected officials—of which I am one. Let me be clear. Deploying troops to displace local law enforcement is an extreme federal overreach that threatens our local autonomy. The federal administration was looking for a fight to justify its claims about our city being unmanaged. This path leads to violence, stronger federal intervention, and ultimately justification of the federal overreach. So here we are. This is not new to us. We were in similar scenarios in 2016 and 2020, and how we handled ourselves at those times has made a permanent imprint on Portland’s reputation. We can act with reason and purpose without tearing this city up. We must also admit that all is not perfect in Portland. Our economy is struggling with historically high vacancy rates and rising unemployment. We have a humanitarian crisis on the streets that has become enabled and normalized. We need to address intolerable and illegal actions in our community, like open drug use, vandalism, violence, and theft. Portlanders rightfully expect us to get our house in order. With love for my hometown, Dan

DeNazify Dan Ryan. He really got his whole tongue on the blucher with this one.

Thanks for sharing! Just signed up for door knocking/phone bank support.

Call the hotline. As always, ensure you have the PIRC hotline number saved and be prepared to call us as soon as possible if your loved one is detained, ICE has stopped you or is at your door, or you witness an ICE detention. Please call the hotline, rather than messaging us on social media, or emailing us, as the hotline is where we answer most quickly. Enroll in ECO. If you are not already enrolled in the Equity Corps or Oregon program to receive free legal services, call 1-888-274-7292 (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm). Complete a family emergency plan in case of detention (visit PIRC’s website). Take care to follow all traffic laws. Unfortunately, ICE sometimes uses minor violations to pull people over.

We keep each other safe. If you see ICE or if you know someone who’s been detained, call the PIRC hotline:
1-888-622-1510.

Make sure you’re using the CLEAR model (Count, Location, Equipment, Activity, and Report Time) when you call.

We don’t need more both sides reporting from our local news. Call 800-241-8123 to share feedback with OPB.

We gathered unsupported opinions from people with no direct experience to frame a military occupation as a welcome intervention.

Would love to pop out of work and be able to pick up a hand pie or a bun

What to do if you spot ICE in your community Amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown, local community networks are the first line of defense. Here’s what Oregon advocates say you should do if you see agents detaining someone.

Immigration advocates say if you see ICE targeting someone, knowing what to do in the moment is critical to protecting immigrants. It’s hard to know what to look for, but this guide can help you better understand how to be an effective bystander in Oregon, and your legal right to do so.

I used to have this, pre-2020 line 15 was amazing for commuting downtown. I live closer to other lines now and the frequency has decreased but I would take transit more often with shorter wait times (even if it meant shorter buses on the FX route)

would take either over car exhaust
