There's a lot to take away from Oregon Democrats' preliminary redistricting plan. Among its biggest changes is a new U.S. House seat for Oregon in Congress. #orleg

It may not radically reshape partisan politics in Oregon, but it could shake things up for incumbents: a thread Oregon's grown a lot in the past decade or about 10% in the time since the past 2010 Census.

Each U.S. House District must have around 706,209 ppl based on Oregon's 4,237,256 people per the 2020 U.S. Census.

THREAD: Will attempt to live tweet events in Portland as today's groups of anti-fascists and expected far right groups converge for protests on the waterfront. Today could see hundreds in downtown if my current count holds. Stand by for more. Anti-fascist speakers beginning now after some confusion minutes ago. Some angry guy trolling the group. Two hecklers chased off too. Angry guy still here trolling. No police or any other groups here for now.

THREAD: More images from tonight's "Church at Planned Parenthood" incident in Salem, which saw the Proud Boys mace anti-fascists in broad daylight with impunity.

Here's what went down, apart from my previous thread. The "church service" is a monthly phenomenon in Salem created by Ken Peters, who pastors Covenant Church in eastern Washington. The organization compares abortion to a holocaust which it protests every month outside of NE Salem's Planned Parenthood.

THREAD: At tonight's monthly "Church at Planned Parenthood" protest on Wolverine St in Salem. Slow so far. Will update as things happen. Saw Salem riot police assembling nearby. Thing starts at 6. Just a few protesters here now.

See pinned tweet above for context on how July went.

THREAD: Saw an Oregon Health & Science University pop-up clinic for the first time at a South Salem Safeway today. Met two people who were getting their second doses.

The group of about half a dozen OHSU staff included one interpreter. Salem in particular is 20% Latino. OHSU officials said they couldn't take questions from the press without the go-ahead from Oregon Health Authority communications.

Mask usage inside the store was the highest I've seen in Salem as of late. At least 40%?

INBOX: According to internal emails, it appears the city of Salem is aware incidents like the Proud Boys-sponsored Riverfront Park 2A rally may become a "reoccurring" event this summer. Emails suggest there was no plan in place to address the incident or any upcoming ones. For reference: thecentersquare.com/oregon/far-rig…
