Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

Study: Rent Assistance is the Most Requested Support Service Among Homeless Residents - Portland Mercury The city of Portland and Multnomah County first agreed on a plan to address homelessness in 1983. What followed was a 12-point plan, a shelter reconfiguration plan, a 10-year plan, countless committee...

This week PSU published results of a survey, deeply informed by homeless residents, that took 2 years to complete. If you read the comments elsewhere, you’ll find wild, counterfactual assertions. But the 145-page report, linked in this story, challenges many stereotypes about homelessness in Oregon.

In explaining how the bureaucracy works to uphold injustices the phrase “killing the messenger” has really become salient to me.

Ppl are more angry at the ones speaking up because we cant undo unjust systems overnight than those causing harm. If it were possible, there would be no need to organize

NEW: Statement from Swalwell's senior staffers: "We stand with our former colleague and the other women that have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too."

Wall Street is buying addiction treatment centers – and patients could be paying the price As private equity rapidly expands into mental health, a new Oregon study raises questions about whether patients pay more without getting better care.

Ghoul life

We didn't deserve this day.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

Wow it’s almost like we NEED FREE PRESCHOOL FOR ALL

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

This is what radicalized me.

You asked us, "Can local governments refuse to let the federal government build?"

Alex Burness takes a look at how federal projects interact with local zoning regulations:

I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office.

Why 'treason' means something different in the US?

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside.

On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors.

She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Genuinely just bonkers to watch the USA do this to one of the most successful and innovative hubs of scientific research the world has ever seen. All those years of Free Speech On Campus debates and it turns out they actually wanted less cancer research. Absurd.

Putting incarcerated people in solitary confinement because they won’t agree to work is slavery.

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Tenants at Gray's landing win! Judge limits tear gas use at Portland ICE facility-

“The Court finds that Plaintiffs have shown a deprivation of their constitutional liberty interest in bodily integrity, and that Defendants’ conduct over the course of the last eight months shocks the conscience"

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

Oregonians need to stop electing former prosecutors into the legislature.

Trump jokes about impeachment if he doesn't invite USA women’s hockey team to White House During a call with the U.S. men's hockey team, President Trump joked about the U.S. women's hockey team. Here's what he said.

Remembering when Trump signed his executive order against trans women in sports to “protect” women in sports.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.
