We believe this is a credible threat to public health workers and have reported it to the FBI: 1‑800‑CALL‑FBI (tips.fbi.gov), and GBI 770-216-3000. You can report it too.

In case anyone needs reminding this week, the measure of a functional government is not whether it relieves you of the discomfort of having to look upon suffering, but how well it prevents suffering in the first place.

I hope expecting the Administration to abide by judicial decisions isn’t the only strategy.
We’re in a quick break right now. The biggest revelation is that the feds might be in contempt of court for defying judges temp. restraining order. Turns out they sent Oregon Guard to Portland ICE from 11 pm to 2 am Oct. 4 to 5, six hours after judge ordered them not to. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
Looks like I’m the first one here at the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. District Court House in Portland for day 1 of 3 day trial in State of Oregon et al. v. Trump et al. over Trump’s attempted Guard deployment. (traumatized by being kicked to overflow last time). Follow @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Multnomah County and Portland leaders, community partners call on Trump administration to fund food assistance to prevent hardship, hunger and suffering for 136,000 County residents
The federal administration can immediately act to release these contingency funds at any time — today, even — and spare 136,000 of our neighbors from needless suffering and hunger.

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.
By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.
Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.
