a serious concern at Depave is that the facilities staff has been cut so severely at Portland Public Schools that it’s hard for us to bring grant funded re-greening projects to schools even though we do all the permitting, design, and construction
A judge recently ruled largely in favor of the Portlanders backing an initiative petition seeking to divert a portion of the city’s clean energy fund to police.
Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone
Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.
It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.
Let's take stock of where we are.
Oregon lawmakers approved a bill change that will prevent new data centers from receiving tax breaks meant for businesses investing in the state. More of the top headlines in today's Good Morning, News ⬇️
Big move! Congratulations!
The NYT style guide
the idea that bombing and invading a country with a bad record on human rights is likely to lead to a situation with better human rights is pretty well debunked to the degree that it's a laughable proposition and yet I see it non stop on mainstream news like it will definitely happen
I just read this and found it surprisingly gripping. He says no doctrine would seem “more sinister and alarming than that a President [...] can vastly enlarge his mastery over the internal affairs of the country by his own commitment of the Nation’s armed forces to some foreign venture.” (p. 642)
This @courtneyvaughn.bsky.social from earlier this month offers a bit of a local angle on this NYT piece from earlier today.

Despite constant pushback from activists, calls from Portland’s mayor for federal agents to resign, and city councilors passing legislation to hold the federal government accountable, the city’s administrator says Portland is committed to keeping the local ICE facility open.
For months, protesters and residents near the local ICE facility have been repeatedly subjected to a chemical haze from tear gas used by federal agents.
The Portland City Council has tried to intervene by passing a detention center fee ordinance in December 2025.
Mayor Keith Wilson announced a new group will meet to discuss revitalizing the central city, including downtown and the east side from OMSI to Lloyd Center and Albina District. Critics say the group favors wealthy interests, excluding smaller orgs focused on homelessness & affordable communities.
Oregon lawmakers are advancing House Bill 4134, aiming to boost funding for wildlife conservation and protect Oregon’s most vulnerable species by raising the lodging tax. The new revenue would support Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife programs.
Portland kicked people out of temporary shelters for “not engaging” in services. The problem, the ombudsmen’s office found, was that providers did not adequately document whether people were or weren’t engaging, and recommended pausing evictions. The city briefly paused, then shrugged its shoulders.
Housing Second is a huge part of the city’s Housing First plan.
No journalist is required to take the framing of those in power at face value. And if they feel they have to, it is not a truly free press.
