Known as the "Prayer of the Alt Knight," the meme has been traced back to a member of the far-right Proud Boys group and endorses police brutality”
“A police review board recommended that the officer…be fired. Bureau leaders declined.”

The mission of Portland Street Response is to provide an unarmed, compassionate 911 response to assist people experiencing a crisis.
They respond to 911 calls that would have previously been dispatched to armed police officers or otherwise received no response.
ALT 3.5% reduction in total calls traditionally responded to by police. 19% reduction in police response on non-emergency welfare checks and dispatches coded as “unwanted persons” calls.
We're looking forward to this new council focusing on good governance on behalf of all Portlanders. Congratulations to new council leadership.

Rene ends his 2 years in office as he started: a bumbling, ineffective mess with zero accomplishments.
That’s why he was booted from office, finishing a distance 3rd place. He couldn’t even manage his campaign budget, and ended up in serious debt.
Good riddance.
A lame duck Council should not be making sweeping reactionary policies at the request of a DA who hasn’t even taken office yet.
Let the newly elected Council, our most diverse ever, decide when they take office in 2 weeks.
For those curious, the city's once-dead graffiti ordinance (which sticks offenders w/ jail time) was brought back to life for Portland's final city council mtg of the year tomorrow, as a request by incoming DA Vasquez.

We desperately need to expand our shelter capacity, and the biggest obstacle to quickly bringing more shelter online is this kind of NIMBYISM and the elected leaders that cater to them.

For weeks, debate has swirled around what to make of the undervote in City Council races. But the study indicates that, whatever reasons people had for leaving those ovals blank, it wasn’t because they were confused about how ranked-choice voting worked. wweek.com/news/city/2024/12/…

“For the first time in more than 100 years, every neighborhood in the city will have representation on the City Council. The Council will be the most diverse - by age, income, gender, race, and geography - in history.”

“The Oregonian’s reporting is more of the same kind of disenfranchisement that East Portlanders have experienced for generations - people making assumptions without the full story, yet insisting on telling someone else’s story.”
ALT Sadly, a recent Oregonian story tries to paint a picture of failure before every vote has been counted. There’s no proof of that and it’s irresponsible to imply otherwise. What we do know is that voters are skeptical about the value of voting, and they shared sentiments like “politicians have never cared about people like me.”
The election is over. It's time to come together and plan what's next for the future of our city. Join us for What's next, Portland? RSVP to portlandforall.org/events

The Oregonian makes the extremely dubious claim that Ranked Choice Voting "cratered" voter engagement. 🧐 Ummmm... the Mercury's Wm. Steven Humphrey would like to have a word.

I don’t think an entirely lame duck Council should be locking the new Council into a decade long contract. This is a long, complicated issue that’s going to require a real assessment of who benefits and why.
With a lucrative contract that gives unchecked control to a powerful business lobby, Portlanders are urging City Council to table a vote on a boundary expansion and $58 million contract renewal for Downtown Portland Clean & Safe. portlandmercury.com/news/202…

This is just the latest fallout from poor City leadership, led by @CommissionerRG. Portland Street Response is a critical, lifesaving program that our next Mayor and Council must restore and expand as part of an improved, modern first response system.
The head of Portland Street Response quietly resigned Oct. 28, a week before a citywide election that has made the fledgling first response program a central issue.

Be wary of candidates who lost their election and are excusing their loss by attacking ranked choice voting and/or our small donor program.
Losing is hard, but let’s hope these candidates can accept losing with grace and not attack our local democracy.

With Keith Wilson’s victory and Rene Gonzalez conceding, we’ve proven the strength of our community coming together for a brighter, united future.
