Went to the airport to pickup the Flotilla heroes who returned home after being kidnapped by Israel. Can’t stop thinking about these people going on little boats, trying to deliver food. Against all odds. Doing it anyway. The Portlanders who came out to embrace them. There are so many good people.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

The Oregon National Guard said it has begun the process of mobilizing guard members with law enforcement experience to comply with President Donald Trump’s deployment order for 200 troops in Portland, but it could be next week before there are actual boots on the ground.
At least 166 Oregon National Guard members have volunteered for Trump deployment
Lt. Col. Stephen Bomar, director of public affairs for the Oregon Military Department, said Thursday is the absolute earliest the guard could arrive in Portland – but he wouldn’t bet on that.

The Portland Metro Chamber, which over the past five years has constructed the narrative that Portland is a crime-infested city where you can't go anywhere to feel safe, said in a press conference that Portlanders should fight against Trump's deployment of federal agents by purchasing more things.
"My name is Michael Liu and I am the current chair of the Portland Metro Chamber and also the owner and operator of Fubonn shopping center out in Southeast Portland. I came here mostly, and I want to say thank you for everyone for showing up, but our main reasons for coming together was to strongly back the mayor's request for calm and to what all the other electives said, and let's not take the bait. When the Trump administration deployed the National Guard in DC, restaurants and small business retail fell by over 30% that's not what Portland needs right now. The chamber is made up of over 2200 members, most of them small businesses, and they're all throughout our city. Downtown has seen a big increase in the amount of foot traffic that it has seen. These are all positive signs of the recovery Portland is making right now. So basically, this is bad for business, and it will set back the progress our city has been making over the last few years. I guess on a personal appeal and everything, I think what we should do to combat this is go out and support our neighborhoods. Go out and support downtown. Go and visit all the small businesses in the neighborhood. We have a great weather this weekend, and it's a great time to go out and support local businesses. Fubonn has been supported. We're coming up on 20 years right now, and it's because of everyone in the community coming together to to be a part of it. So it's time for us to go back, love our city, love our neighbors, and just be Portland."

While I encourage folks to engage in the TriMet survey about service cuts, I hope you will keep in mind the transit dependent people whose lives literally depend on the bus that runs just a couple times a day or connecting services TriMet supports. trimet.org/servicecuts/
Weigh In on Planned Bus and MAX Service Cuts
Due to a growing budget gap, we must cut some TriMet service starting in November 2025.

It's disturbing that I got more training on cleanliness as a food service worker than these people are getting through the rushed expansion of shelter beds. This is dangerous for employees, unhoused people, and for Portland residents. Houseless advocates have sounded the alarm for months.

Until July, The Salvation Army didn’t require most workers at a new shelter to receive training about exposure to bodily fluids.

Nearly twenty years after his hot dog vending dreams were stifled by city policies, Councilor Mitch Green wants to lift restrictions on street vending in Portland. It's a divisive idea.

Ya know l, I thought the propaganda in unprecedented times would be a lot slicker. The Charlie Kirk funeral stuff is absolutely bananas. Like if this were a TV show I’d be annoyed it was too cliche and on the nose. But it’s real. It’s actually just like that.

This article basically says “this new system works for people we don’t like so therefore it’s not working.” Sorry big business is no longer king. Are there things to improve? Absolutely. But these wack hit pieces just reveal that the playing field has been leveled and some people can’t accept that.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.
Michael Eisner @Michael Eisner X.com Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The "suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest." By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. 10:17 AM • 9/19/25 • 208K Views

Immigration advocates say if you see ICE targeting someone, knowing what to do in the moment is critical to protecting immigrants. It’s hard to know what to look for, but this guide can help you better understand how to be an effective bystander in Oregon, and your legal right to do so.
What to do if you spot ICE in your community
Amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown, local community networks are the first line of defense. Here’s what Oregon advocates say you should do if you see agents detaining someone.

My new staffer/financial analyst is here but I worked with her in Commissioner Hardesty’s office when I worked the front desk. She reminded me that 2 weeks into me doing constituent services she told me “one day we're going to work for you.” Now she’s here, working alongside me. Life is so strange.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
