Today’s “teenage mental health crisis” and social media panic are founded in nostalgic myths. Our best long-term surveys and statistics show Boomer and Xer teens were no happier or more “together” than teens are today

Welp, it looks like the Portland Metro Chamber’s solidarity with the community against ICE and a federal invasion ends at charging an impact fee to property owners who would rent their properties to detention facilities that harm neighbors & drain public resources.

Can’t say that we’re surprised!
November 18, 2025 Honorable Portland Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney and Councilors, We write to express our opposition to the Detention Facility Impact Fee. While we understand your motivation for proposing such an ordinance, we write to ask you to consider the long-tterm implications and unintended consequences of this proposal. The Portland Metro Chamber (The Chamber) is greater Portland's Chamber of Commerce and represents the largest, most diverse network of businesses in the region. The Alliance advocates for business at all levels of government to support commerce, community health and the region's overall prosperity. We represent more than 2,100 members, from 27 counties, 13 states and virtually every industry sector. More than 80% of our members are small businesses We share your concerns with the current federal administration's antagonistic approach to our community, and we were grateful that half the members of this council joined over 175 elected officials and organizations signing on to our call to action for a unified voice of opposition to an unjustified federal troop deployment. For more than a century and a half-since before Oregon achieved statehood-Portland has been a city where civic expression, including protest, has played a defining role in our public life. Throughout this long history, the City has never required the subject of a protest to bear the financial burden associated with public safety, cleanup, or street closures. The proposal now under consideration would dramatically depart from that long-standing principle and create an avenue for targeted financial liability based solely on the political aims of others. This change would introduce significant long-term risks. Portland's political landscape has evolved over time and will continue to do so. A policy that allows elected officials to levy costs on entities that are the focus of protests-regardless of whether those entities organized, 1. Lack of Environmental Impact Evaluation To our knowledge, the City has never undertaken an environmental impact assessment of protest activity. If the environmental effects of demonstrations are a basis for new fees or restrictions, such analysis should be conducted before establishing a policy framework that selectively assigns financial responsibility. 2. Departure From Established Practice for Civic Events While the City routinely requires event organizers to cover public safety and right-of-way impacts for parades, marathons, and other permitted activities, this proposal would mark the first time a tax-paying business would be charged for costs associated with an event it did not host, sanction, or participate in. This is a significant shift in policy with far-reaching implications. 3. Risk of Creating a New Revenue Mechanism Targeting Businesses If adopted, this measure could establish a precedent enabling the City to levy impact fees whenever a business becomes the focus of a protest. Such a mechanism would send a chilling signal to the commercial real estate and broader business community. Portland competes with other cities and surrounding jurisdictions for investment; proposals that create unpredictable or punitive cost exposure threaten our competitiveness. 4. Absence of Protestor Accountability While the Chamber strongly supports the right to free speech and peaceful assembly, the current proposal places the entirety of the financial burden on the business being targeted-regardless of the actions of demonstrators. This raises a fundamental policy Portland's success depends on fostering a stable, predictable, and fair business environment. We urge the Council to reconsider this proposal and engage stakeholders in developing a policy approach that honors our city's values, protects constitutional rights, and sustains the economic vitality that Portland depends on.

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals.

#consumerprotection #orpol
AG Rayfield announces $7 million settlement with largest U.S. landlord over price fixing scheme AG Rayfield and a bipartisan coalition have filed a proposed $7 million settlement to resolve claims against Greystar Management Services LLC, as part of the coalition’s ongoing enforcement efforts targeting price fixing involving housing rental prices across the country. “We’re in the middle of a housing crisis, and families are already stretched to their limits. When the largest landlord in America uses an algorithm to price fix the rent, the result is simple: people pay more. It squeezes working families when the cost of housing is already at an all-time high. This settlement holds the largest U.S. landlord accountable. It’s a win for Oregonians, our pocketbooks, and the rule of law.”

one of the biggest existential threats to modern women is the beauty-industrial complex, that is the vast network of corporations that manufactures and sells us an endless slew of products, services, images and ideologies intended to destroy our self-worth for the benefit of shareholders. Its inky tendrils have slithered into all corners of American culture and wrapped themselves around our minds and bodies. One of its strongest arms is elective cosmetic surgery—something I believe is especially corrosive to women’s mental, financial, spiritual, and bodily health.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

“Did the mayor waste money on a shelter system he knew was insufficient, just to create a veneer of ‘available shelter’ and justify a punitive crackdown? The City Council has a duty to investigate this potential misuse of taxpayer money.”
The DSA's co-chair, Brian Denning, said in a statement: "We have serious concerns that public funds were squandered to create a pretext for this camping ban. Did the mayor waste money on a shelter system he knew was insufficient, just to create a veneer of 'available shelter' and justify a punitive crackdown?

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

This kind of lawsuit could have huge ripple effects.
