“We have not heard from my daughter Amber Abbott since January 18th. She has lived in the Portland area for several years but last November became homeless due to her fentanyl addiction. She continued to check in with us at least weekly. She has never gone this long without contacting us so we have filed a missing person report with Multnomah County Law Enforcement. She is 5 ft 7 in, 115 pounds.” - Kasey Abbott

If Portland decides to cut PPB by 8%, as per an internal memo from city administrator Michael Jordan, the bureau would have to cut 35-45 officers, as well as getting rid of targeted missions, such as retail theft, vehicle theft, street racing operations, drug bust operations, and human trafficking operations. #doge_pdx

Congratulations @tulsigabbard, your committment and patriotism to our country inspires me more than I can express. Well done sister!

Jeff and I had the honor of meeting Ms. Tulsi in the autumn of 2023 at the @freedomfoundationusa Oregon event.

Dear @repdexteror,
Sincerely, I would like to know what your ideas are in Congress for helping us here in district 3. Is there anything you want to accomplish for those is us working everyday to make ends meet in your district that have concerns about failing education, energy costs, a poor economy and failing small businesses?

Have you noticed your electricity bill hike in Oregon in the last year? This was posted a year ago this month. Look no further than regulation. Isn’t it time you knew who your state legislators are, and more importantly they know who you are?

The city of Portland has made the unprecedented decision to not share with the public, access to phone numbers or email address of our 12 new city councilors. To the best of my knowledge, there is no elected position in the state that shares this egregious policy. Please help me call the mayor’s office and request that the city councilors phone numbers and emails be made available to the public, just like it always was, before January.

How many of the 12 city councilors are in the crowd: “If you don’t agree with me I have no obligation to answer to you.“
I am concerned it is many of them and hope I am wrong. All of us that closely followed the city council race were highly concerned with most of the elected lineup. We are gonna need to be engaged.

The good news is there were no drones over Portland tonight. Also, how cool is this? #spacex #starlink

This is the kind of the thing we talk about at the dinner table. You? This would be a wild card couple hookup. It was never on my Bingo card. Anyone know if it’s true?

Breaking news. President Trump on his third day in office signed an order to declassify the JFK, RFK and MLK files. I can’t wait to read them. How about you?

The county jail has been releasing Honduran drug dealers for a couple years now - who most say are connected to the cartel. Can we at least deport criminals here? Which Oregon politician do you think would be in handcuffs first for defying immigration laws?

The city of Portland is reportedly facing a $100 million dollar deficit in July 2025. And our state legislature says they plan to increase taxes now that they have a super majority. Here is an oldie but goodie reminding you that fiscal responsibility is possible in a blue city of our size.

Here a recap of what is happening in Portland governing since the first of the year. We are gonna need more citizens like us who know their city, state and county representatives, and are willing to engage. Please forward this message to likeminded friends who are also concerned with government spending, accountability and livability issues in Portland.

Our new Portland district attorney took office just a few days ago and is making headlines as he works to right the ship! So many of us worked hard to put him in office! Nathan Vasquez, thank you for your commitment to keep the community safe.

Six months ago Mytoka Petry was horrifically attacked by a pack of dogs on July 15th. Mytoka lost her arm and sustained injuries throughout her body. It is a miracle she is still alive. Yesterday I spoke with her oldest daughter Jordyn, along with a few insiders about the latest development with the 8 adult dogs taken from the encampment. All 8 dogs have been in solitary confinement since that time without a single walk or socialization. Why not just speed up the process to euthanization instead of animal cruelty? jessicavegapederson this timeline isn’t acceptable policy and procedure. Certainly we can euthanize sooner within a matter of days with a court hearing like other counties in Oregon.

I have Mayor Keith Wilson’s cell phone number, and I was tempted today to send him a WTF message. I will settle for a poised email and perhaps save that need to text for later.😉
I wrote an article on Substack today and would love for you to read it: https://open.substack.com/pub/pdxreal/p/portland-mayor-keith-wilson-caves?r=1qfbjr&utm_medium=ios

Teach your kids to ask questions, get involved and be part of the change they wish to see. In my inbox this morning, this adorable flyer from a 7 year old who is ready to spread the word in her Portland neighborhood.

Happy New Year, even to the political grifters. Do you think I am a problem yet? 2025 is gonna be worse! And to all you fantastic followers who help me research, remember connections, see blindspots, inform us what is happening, and help this page kick ass… Thanks for being here and being awesome.

Earlier this year, our existing city council said no to more city council staff in their approved budget. City council want more than 1 staff member and 9 shared employees among the 12 councilors. Mayor Wilson is requesting more staff now as well. Meanwhile, the unions are involved. They don’t like the shrink, in fact they prefer to grow.
In Portland, Businesses are having record losses and failure, the higher income tax base is moving, everything is run subpar from emergency to cleanliness, to schools, to business friendly, to so sex positive vulnerable aren’t safe, and no help for the profoundly ill or addicted, and finally many crimes are marginalized. Portland- currently the 3rd highest city in taxes, but only if you count Washington DC which everyone knows is corrupt AF.
All the while the city is facing a minimum $26 million deficit already and the city is in the shitter.
But hey maybe you or someone you know can get one or those 150k cushy government jobs at the city. Just make sure you have the right ideology. That is, tax everyone and don’t care about results.
Keith Wilson, how about you get something done and deliver some of the promise of your campaign before you ask for money? @portlandgovmayor
Please tell me Portlans is capable of making a decision that improves livability that doesn’t cost us more money.
I can speak for myself and thousands. We are drowning out here.
