Portland

I'm new to the area and would love to meet people interested in this kind of synthrock music. Or at least to hear about some local/regional bands with something similar going on.

(I'm not seeing any Portland music communities yet, so hopefully this is okay here)

He filed a police report for someone brushing his shoulder walking through the aisle and then criticizing his homeless policies.

Him not riding Max anymore has nothing to do with "violent and antisocial behavior" and everything to do with him being unwilling to face his constituents.

Seems just as unlikely as previous proposals, and also way outside of town (technically Beaverton, but the course is owned by the city of Portland).

Just got this email from the senator.

In response to Oregon’s recent storms and weather events, the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) has made a waiver available to impacted households to request replacement SNAP benefits through February 16, 2024.

Oregonians who qualify for food assistance can now request SNAP benefits to replace food they had to throw out due to power outages related to the storms that occurred from January 12, 2024 through January 17, 2024. Replacement benefits can be requested by phone, email, or by visiting a local Oregon Department of Human Services office.

This waiver applies to households in Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Washington, and Yamhill counties, and more information from ODHS can be found here.

When widespread power outages hit our communities, families have enough struggles to deal with without losing out on food they can’t afford to replace.

I’ll keep working to help Oregon recover from these storms and to fight for working families across our state.

All my best, Jeff

Check out the latest CHAOSTOWN where we investigate the Street Takeover scene in Portland

Article goes into the suspects criminal history, which does involve weapon charges… but it’s unclear what exactly happened the night of that lead to his killing.

We should keep an eye on this, and all uses of force really.
