So... they don't deserve the title "protesters" for some reason? Curious, that.

Gather 'round, and watch as @ORSecretaryRead loses his sh!t and claims that USPS refusing mail-in voted from unverified voters is the 'end of democracy', and yet all he would have to do is send a copy of the correct and clean voter rolls to the USPS... nytimes.com/2026/06/11/us/po…

Portland is trapped between two structural forces. First, the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) carries a $29.4 billion unfunded liability, roughly equal to the state’s entire biennial General Fund. The system lost $8 billion in 2022, and employer contribution rates continue to rise because the state constitution protects existing benefits. Salem now pays $11 million more annually for pensions than it did just years ago. Gladstone School District’s PERS costs rose from 3% to 19% of payroll. Statewide, school districts face a $670 million increase in pension obligations in the 2025–27 biennium. These payments take priority in every budget, automatically crowding out other services. This is austerity on autopilot. Second, Oregon’s property tax system caps assessment growth at 3% annually and limits total taxes as a share of market value. When market values collapse—as they have downtown—taxes must fall.

This is one of the reasons I still live here.

Please be true, please be true, please be true....

So you're whining that the GOP is working to make petroleum, the very lifeblood of our economy, less expensive? No petroleum means no fuel, no plastics, most clothing would cease to exist, food production would drop to starvation levels... Just how stupid are you, exactly?

If you live rural, I suggest a fire extinguisher in one hand, and a rifle in the other.

EXCLUSIVE/BREAKING: DA alleges Ethan Burlingame emailed a “declaration of war” against the U.S. and intended to “cause suffering, destruction and terror as an act of war and terrorism to burn down the empire” in setting Fossil, OR power transmission pole, structure ablaze. 🔗👇🧾

Looks like phone calls were made, and someone was told it's a bit too early to do this. After all, the sheep might forget all about this gesture by election day, and the Salem Swamp desperately needs something to steal the credit for...

Red states seem to be doing fine... why can't Oregon's dominant Democrat government in Salem get the same prosperity from their socialist policies? I mean, scream "Orange Man Bad!" all you want, but Salem caused the mess here. Also, how much money did you shovel at Ukraine?

Seems at least one teacher's union is mad. Money is tight because of lower enrollments and a shrinking tax base (homeless don't pay taxes, after all.) PAT thinks they should, regardless, remain entitled to fat pay benefits with no layoffs. Do they not teach economics there?

First time I've seen city government actively driving out their tax base... The Portland Doom Loop accelerates.

Folks... the socialists in Portland are starting to run out of other people's money. Their next step is to rattle sabers and make threats in the direction of Salem to get more. Salem can't and won't just shovel it over, because if they did, things like PERS would quickly collapse, and the SEIU would form lynch mobs. So... the other two options: raise everyone else's taxes, or burn the state down to get some sweet federal money. ...maybe both?

Seems that Kotek's army is mobilizing:

Fmr Oregon Sen. Bob Packwood (R) has passed away.

Seems that Oregon DOR is getting creative in how they fund the state... by committing literal theft.
