The community has repeatedly and consistently demanded cuts to PPB. But as other city services have been slashed, Portland continues to fund the unaccountable cops attacking us in the streets.

It is long past time to actually listen to community demands.
Extremely nervous about where things are at now...

Fitting that @AmandaFritzRN may once again utterly ignore the will of the people as her time on council comes to a close:

Lol just heard someone open testimony with a "Fuck you Ted Wheeler". Nice

Big mood

Last night, on the 100 day anniversary of the uprising against police violence, several Portland DSA members, including members of the steering committee, were arrested on fabricated felony charges.
This comes as the real violent forces of repression, the federally-deputized Oregon State Police and the Portland Police Bureau, continue to beat, brutalize, and gas peaceful protesters.
These violent agents of the state terrorize Portland neighborhoods with impunity, where babies sleep and families are forced to wear respirators in their own homes, at the behest of politicians that are supposed to be on "our side”.

If you've ever googled your name and seen filthy digital doxx sites like whitepages.com show your name, address, phone number, email, family members, etc, this thread is for you...

Fuck these sites, but there are ways to fight back

Folks are trolling Multnomah County inmate search and using legal name as a starting point to doxx and harass folks. There are a variety of steps to take here for privacy...

First, know that these sites scrape from things like USPS, voter registration, property listings, etc

First step is to guard your fundamental info... consider a PO box or UPS "permanent address" box and use it everywhere. If the zip is the same as your physical addr, this permanent addr can even be used for voter registration.
