On unsanctioned camp clusters and gun violence Rene For Portland instagram.com/p/Cl37o1KJVwA/…

Clarification - clusters are shootings, not camps. Misunderstood the explanation in the meeting.

Rene For Portland wow, Tony Jordan, IAFG with pretty much straight up libel and character assassination. Bro, have your opinions, but ease off the continual rage and toxicity, please.

Rene For Portland Tony Jordan, IAFG Parking Reform Network how sad to see Stephen Gomez, board member of Street Roots & Follow us! @thestreettrust.org on Bluesky, supporting piling on & defamatory disinformation targeted at a Portland city commissioner. It's discrediting to him & an embarrassment to the organizations he funds & guides. @mkaiasand @sarahforpdx.bsky.social

Rene For Portland Tony Jordan, IAFG Parking Reform Network Stephen Gomez Street Roots Follow us! @thestreettrust.org on Bluesky @mkaiasand @sarahforpdx.bsky.social & the toxicity keeps going, even celebrating itself, from an ultraprivileged, rich, white, male, homeowner, urbanist proud boy, scornfully asserting self-identified houseless folks do not actually care about or understand homelessness, as he does. Way to represent & rot PDX, bro!

Rene For Portland Tony Jordan, IAFG Parking Reform Network Stephen Gomez Street Roots Follow us! @thestreettrust.org on Bluesky @mkaiasand @sarahforpdx.bsky.social how telling, another weathy white male Portlander, fine civic spirit—which, so often, means sufficient donor to further platform self via non-profit boards—and key "street newspaper" backer, piling on defamation, dismissing self-identified houseless, & misusing 'disinformation'

Alexa Gagosz National Homelessness Law Center Governor Dan McKee if you want good legal analysis, you need to go to independent legal analysts and scholars, not an advocacy org that's a frequent plaintiff in these cases. Or just read the rulings, to see how Eric Tars is misrepresenting case law. eg #JohnsonVGrantsPass: cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin…

@sdpatenaude @DanImmergluck Kamau Franklin Root Causes of Homelessness: social exclusion, as exhibited by event! ✅ in-person-only, real-time, no other way to engage! ✅ all highly-positioned panelists, none identifying as or plausibly homeless! ✅ no note on disability access/support, no contact info to find out! ✅ …

Eric Tars Leilani Farha 🍉 Raquel Rolnik UN Special Rapporteur on the right to housing ACLU SoCal 🐝 ACCE 🐝 Institute on Inequality & Democracy LA CAN best webinar ever on #HousingIsAHumanRight? hard to say, b/c like almost any unhoused, weren't able to join; & no apparent recording or materials, all we find is this earlier tweet. Highly positioned & housed people, in total agreement. If not them, who? #Right2Housing

Houseless First Donna Cohen John Tapogna So this thread started because the Houseless First twitter account wanted a link to Governor Tina Kotek 's budget yesterday. But the point raised by this anonymous twitter account about identifying sources, controlling narratives and power is on point for #orpol🧵 .

Houseless First Donna Cohen John Tapogna Governor Tina Kotek During the last eight years, former Governor Kate Brown made it difficult for journalists who cover state government to get information on how she was running the state. Governor Kate Brown 's administration did not allow advisers to speak with reporters.

Houseless First Donna Cohen John Tapogna Governor Tina Kotek Governor Kate Brown To summarize: people tasked with carrying out the agenda of Oregon's highest elected official have insisted upon anonymity to explain her policy goals. Yesterday, journalists learned Governor Tina Kotek would similarly insist on staff anonymity during her budget briefing. #orpol

Portland, a city long hailed as a model of conscientious urban planning and civic engagement, is facing a crisis of confidence. “You don’t have to watch Fox News to look around Portland and say, ‘This is not cool,’” said City Commissioner Mingus Mapps. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Jenny Jarvie limited as this story is, it's much better than the canned reaction of End Homelessness nat'l Field Director @JerryJonesNAEH, of homeless establishment views so calcified that for a story to discuss both homelessness & crime is to conflate them. Do better pls AMO Steve Berg

YIMBY / "pro-housing" groups like this one in Portland are really going hard on scorning community & local involvement, increasingly.

Josh McCabe Alex Armlovich are these policies excluding individuals & households or non-related people, or just 'families'? Excluding eg adult individuals, or non-traditional households, in social policy & discussion, is a centuries-old, pervasive, & damaging prejudicial practice, please don't perpetuate.

chris herring @erictars quite plausibly, net result of your careers of polarized, rights-absolutist advocacy, so closed to other views & values—eg w/Coalition on Homelessness, Ryu injunction—will be devastating reversal, for those you speak for but aren't of. #JohnsonVGrantsPass x.com/cherring_soc/s…
