Disheartening to wake up to this Tuesday. My neighbors/family power washed & repainted. Thanks 🙏🏻 to the many teachers & parents who offered to help clean up and condemned the vandalism/harassment that has happened. We are in this together; we all want our kids back in school

Portland Public School Board members Hollands and Brim-Edwards are being targeted by criminals, as if this will somehow meaningfully advance the agenda of the Portland teachers union. Portland has normalized crime in the name of politics.

Given the unprecedented deaths from fentanyl in our community, I will definitely be asking for more info about this new practice. The best long term harm reduction approach is treatment & recovery. Urgent focus on acting on that is what is urgently needed.

Inflexibility can be dangerous! Multnomah County Chair & COO have the authority to adjust the threshold for keeping warming shelters open…they shouldn’t be closed. Conditions today 🧊 are worse than yesterday.

It’s cold! ”Feels like 29 degrees” is what my weather app says. ❄️ 🧊 Frankly, it’s way past time. Winter shelters need to be open AND we need 100s more shelter beds ALL YEAR ROUND. Street camping is unsafe and lacks basic services. It’s not humane anytime @multco #orpol 🧵
