Disagreement on policy is welcome and reasonable, but calling me a Nazi for cosponsoring an ordinance to ban price-fixing is completely unacceptable. Councilor Ryan edited his post, but did not disclose the edit and explain the nature of the substantive change, so it’s here for posterity.

Fireplace smoke from nearby houses seeps into my apt every year. So phenols, aldehydes, and nitrogen oxides just hanging out in the air. Can we cool it with the fireplaces?

By the end of this decade, U.S. data centers could consume as much water as 10 million Americans and produce as much carbon dioxide as 10 million cars, a study finds. via @insideclimatenews.org

2020 footage said to be in 2025. A scene of protestors in Illinois, suggested as Portland. We reviewed Fox News coverage and 700+ social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision to send the National Guard to Portland. Here's how Fox News told a misleading story:

Fucks sake

Grateful for friends who show up for me time and again.

Yesterday city officials considered removing funding from a homeless sweeps program, and things got tense. Mayor Wilson rallied ahead of the vote, sparking fear in service providers that their funding could be cut. Providers say they need more notice next time if policy-makers want strong coalition.

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived. All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

To those who say that I’m out of touch with the views of my district I say this: I ran for this seat to represent those who don’t get a voice. Who don’t have traditional access to power. You probably won’t hear their voices at a neighborhood association, but they still exist and I am their councilor

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Mayor is a fucking snake. Thank you to the councilors who addressed his weekend scare tactics.

www.teenvogue.com/story/digita... bell hooks once suggested that American culture and mainstream culture is “obsessed with Blackness.” This evolution of digital blackface is in fact just a continuation of the obsession of which she spoke.

The chants of “street sweeps now” outside city hall - clearly you all don’t care about people. You just care about profits and your supremacy. Fuck off.

These municipal bouncers were paid a commission for each potential public neighbor thereby evicted."

discovering disorders and condition of living that might, if not changed, bring the inhabitants to dependency'...By the middle of the eighteenth century, this task...was professionalized, with agents specifically hired to seek out undesirable strangers, warn them out, and expedite their departure.

In light of today's City Council session, I'm bringing you all another quote from "From the Puritans to the Projects" by Lawrence J. Vale: "To minimize the burden of public relief, the justices, selectmen, and overseers of the poor undertook regular 'walks' through the streets 'for the purpose of

Allegedly there’s a little march of those opposed to the amendment by Morillo that will go to city hall this morning. Let them. Let them take their morning walkies. Mayor needed help and he reached out. Let’s see the caliber of folks.

Hey Amy, I highly recommend looking into Ground Score Association’s GLITTER program. A peer-led initiative to bring trash removal service to people on the streets without displacement. They also employee people with lived experience of homelessness! Hope this helps.

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland. How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president. www.propublica.org/article/port...

ACTION ALERT: Join Portland: Neighbors Welcome in submitting testimony to Portland City Council in support of Councilor Morillo's Fall Budget amendment to fund support, not sweeps, for our neighbors. portlandneighborswelcome.org/supportnotsw...

Pcef to police.

Why are people so convinced that Portland has a uniquely intractable mental health and addiction problem that cannot be all but ameliorated by upstream measures like universal health care, affordable housing, and quality education ~WHILE~ investing in supportive services?

Testify to stop the sweeps before Wednesday!! > Scroll to item 8 > Testify on this item > Submit written testimony > Support with changes > Write a comment supporting Councilor Morillo’s amendment to defund sweeps and fund social services www.portland.gov/council/agenda

Well and what’s funny is everyone putting oppose mean that they oppose the amendment but instead it looks like they oppose the budget that funds their stuff lollll nice and confusing

And yet we got people saying we need more cops? www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Mayor Wilson still trying to scare councilors to vote down @councilormorillo.bsky.social’s budget amendment. Making up what programs would be cut… and pitting orgs that seek to help low income people against low income people. Get your testimonies in… the oral ones are stacked in his favor.

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. Poverty is a social creation.

In the week since Mayor Wilson began enforcing the public camping ban, we are seeing MORE tents in East Portland. Those folks are just being swept into my district. I told the mayor that this is what would happen and asked him to bring extra resources to East PDX to meet the displaced. He did not.

Owendoff blocked me on instagram 🤣

Sweeps aren't the answer and neither are mass shelters without a clear path to housing. Please sign this petition to demand a Housing First strategy in Portland: actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

So apparently the sky is falling because Councilor Morillo wants to move $4.3 million from the camp sweeps budget to… wait for it… housing, food, and community support. Here’s the deal: Portland spends about $17 million a year on the “Impact Reduction Program.”

I wrote in my testimony on the proposed budget amendment that spending millions on sweeps is like spending millions to teach parents how to spank their kids. A lot of people will argue it’s a moral good or a necessity, but decades of research shows it is just violence.

Wilson now using fear tactic to get people to oppose Morillo's amendment... coward

Patti Smith

Wilson fired Hisserich

PDX saints love is out here helping people find housing, health services, and jobs. Mayor out here making tiny warehouses for people. Tiny concentration camps with maybe a hefty snack (to quote Sam Adams) I’d rather we pivot and listen to the people. People have the power.

Next week - city council is going to be lit www.portland.gov/council/docu...

“Angelita Morillo proposed an amendment reallocating money from a city sweeps program, instead funding housing and food assistance, support for immigrants.”

Capitulation apnews.com/article/trum...

This tactic was used against me too.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

Very excited to see @councilormorillo.bsky.social introduce an amendment to the fall budget adjustment to shift funding from sweeps to other critical city functions! That is half of one of our demands in our Finding Home petition linked in my bio. Show up and support Morillo’s amendment!

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.
