Photographers and videographers on the front lines documenting Portland protests: “These are the things our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will ask us about.” Yes, @bethnakamura, you were indeed born to do this work. See it here, folks: bit.ly/3eabc9a
As Portland officials have decried the @Oregonian’s finding that 52% of all arrests in the city are of homeless people, the number of homeless people booked into jail has continued to grow each year: My last story for @Oregonian

I had the satisfaction of taking apart and finally fixing my vacuum cleaner. I had the dissatisfaction of having a package stolen off my porch. But my satisfaction returned with the image of the thief opening up the envelope and finding only a $2 vacuum cleaner filter inside.
A deep bow to @maxoregonian for her meticulous reporting on these incidents over 17 yrs. Her extraordinary journalism formed the backbone of this analysis.
When it comes to police accountability reporting in Portland, Max Bernstein is peerless.
.@shanedkavanaugh & I analyzed 40 fatal police shootings since Kendra James in 2003.

7 fatally shot 2 people while w/PPB.

So grateful for reader messages like this, esp today:
'Those of us that complain that we can’t get a haircut or that the line at Fred Meyer was out the door need to read this one again. Rest In Peace, Mr. Goodale, and thank you for your military service.'
Why has it taken until now for the state to acknowledge so many #coronavirus coronavirus deaths at Oregon senior care homes and step up its response -- six weeks into Oregon's outbreak? If @FedorZarkhin hadn't pushed, would we even know?
