Great thread.

Maybe it’s too negative, but I gotta say it: I really think some people think homeless services, rent assistance, mortgage assistance, eviction prevention, shelters, camps, etc. are run by magic fairy dust or and reverse osmosis. Like, WHAT are you saying?!

Not again. This is what happens in PDX’s homeless system. Effective programming is underfunded, so it fails to truly rise to the scale of need. Then the public questions its validity because success stories are so small in #. We gotta stop this cycle! tinyurl.com/5bcuuyvs

Trump backers are terrified. It’s hilarious 2 watch their competing talking points. Nobody knows what 2 say because they thought they were going 2 ride Democrats’ doubts thru the election. They know that the Democrats’ next pick could mobilize MILLIONS for the Democratic ticket.

Listening to the news it registered to my 10yr old daughter that we could be electing the first Black woman President. Her response? “See, Black women can make a huge impact!” With the biggest goofiest grin ever. ❤️❤️❤️

I really hate when I’m right. Two years after posting this thread everything has come true because it DIDN’T address the real issue. We’re still on the same merry go round but worse with less support from the public!!

Y’all be careful out here on Black Twitter. There’s a LOT of bot accounts that’s puttin out some major triggering content. Before you respond, click on the account and look at the posting pattern. It’s pretty obvious. I saw one where it posted four times at once. Be careful!

I’m looking at these “I’m a True Black American” posts and then looking at the profiles. They’re weird. AI? Posting patterns are strange… also who says “I’m a True Black American?” Got real Blk ppl out here fooled tryin prey on ppl’s fears of being disowned if folks don’t follow

Please make it make sense: the Right is blowing up taking points calling Kamala a social worker and soft-on-crime…. Yet folks out here saying she jailed hundreds of thousands of Black men. One of these statements ain’t true. Do your research! Check out Back on Track Program

The subtle changes in Trump’s language speaks volumes. I ain’t neva heard Trump refer to Biden and Dems as THESE PEOPLE. Anybody who’s Black knows EXACTLY what that means. #Noted

And y’all wanna vote for this man? He’s becoming extremely unhinged and dangerous and is literally threatening democracy. It’s NOT fear mongering, folks. Vote for him and you’re playing a DANGEROUS game.

Did Ashley Allison say that JD Vance isn’t on the ticket anymore in this post Harris-Walz interview dialogue on CNN?

This opEd feels disingenuous. Most of the policy and budget work at the county is done by commissioners’ staff and implemented by departments overseen by the chair. oregonlive.com/opinion/2024/0…

Oregonian thought an article about Commissioner Carmen Rubio’s driving infractions would cause outrage. It may for some, but for regular-degular folks like me who spent most of my adult yrs in poverty, it tells me she knows what life is really like! Thanks Commissioner Carmen Rubio for not shying away!
