We know this policy is cruel and ineffective BUT we’re going to do it anyway? What’s wrong with you?

Totally speculation but it might be the strained relationship with local police. PPB is heavily scrutinized/disliked in Portland, we have a new much more left and critical city council. Seems like PPB doesn’t want to get dragged into ICE’s mess and having less backup might make them less bold?

Yall are willing to abandon the interests of a demographic (LGBTQ+ people) where over 80% voted for Harris? That seems incredibly foolish.

As someone who lives in Portland and votes for socialist city council members, this article sucks.

It’s not justified no matter how destructive the protests get. That’s the point.

I followed you on TikTok long before I had the pleasure of voting for you!

Recently, Mayor Bruce Harrell mocked his challenger Katie Wilson's proposal to fund local media with a democracy voucher-style program as a pointless giveaway to irrelevant "blogs." Losing local news coverage is a tragedy, and elected leaders shouldn't mockingly dismiss proposals that could help.

We desperately need more frequent, reliable, and faster transit. Thank you!

This guy gets more evil by the day
