“The treasurer of Ditch Mitch is Kyle Prosen, who according to his LinkedIn is a business analyst with the diagnostics testing company Natera. He appears to live in District 3. He’s also a drag artist who in 2024 made headlines for showing up for jury duty in drag as Sarah Palin.”

Haynes was among those who spoke out Tuesday, August 25 against a lack of transparency around the city’s response to Portland’s Independent Police Review (IPR) of how police handled the 2020 protests. Haynes is part of Portland’s Albina Ministerial Alliance Coalition for Justice and Police Reform. The group was an amicus (or friend of the court) in the settlement agreement between the US Department of Justice and the city of Portland, after the DOJ sued the city over its policing practices in 2012. The settlement remains active and still governs several aspects of the city’s police force.

On Tuesday, the Coalition joined members of the Mental Health Alliance–another amicus in the DOJ settlement–and Portland Copwatch, to denounce a lack of action on behalf of Mayor Keith Wilson and Deputy City Administrator Tracy Warren, who both declined to uphold two recommendations from the IPR. The groups are also calling on the city to release all documents related to PPB’s 2020 protest response.

Day, the police chief, said at a news conference earlier this week that the city continues to struggle to meet demand during peak times. On the evening of July 4, police say there were “over 100 calls for service in the queue with no responders available.” Day said that was despite spending an estimated $100,000 in overtime over the holiday weekend.

“We continue to be a very understaffed, under-resourced police department,” Day said.

Voters might get to weigh in on solutions this November, as supporters of two measures that could boost police staffing levels announced they’d collected the necessary number of signatures to place the measures on the ballot. But officials must certify those signatures first. One measure also is encountering pushback from activists who don’t want money destined for the city’s clean energy fund to be diverted to police.

A MAGA supporter dressed as Uncle Sam was arrested at Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair after police alleged he committed a lewd act.

Police documents reviewed by the Daily Beast show that Gian Rachtelli was charged with “lewd, indecent, or obscene acts” after three separate witnesses told police they observed what appeared to be a sexual act while watching a troupe of female circus performers.

For Trump-aligned conservatives, the Constitution is an unlimited grant of executive authority, where sovereignty lies with a president who is more Bonapartist tribune than Madisonian chief magistrate. Their American republic is not one led by and for self-governing individuals but one directed from above by an executive who claims to stand as the living embodiment of the national spirit. The entire country, in the words of the White House, must meet “the president’s priorities.”

It happened around dawn last Friday when 40-year-old Yohendry De Jesus Crespo and his wife, 34-year-old Darianny Liseth Gonzalez de Crespo, took their daughter to Adventist Health’s emergency department in Southeast Portland. Diana, 7, had a nosebleed that just wouldn’t stop and her parents, immigrants from Venezuela with a pending asylum petition, were increasingly worried about her health.

They never got to see a doctor.

looks like Bill Ackman donated $10k to a gofundme for the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good which is operated by a guy with a Hitler salute in his fb profile pic.

Sinclair didn’t say what it would replace Kimmel’s show with on Wednesday or Thursday evening, but vowed to run a special about Kirk on Friday evening, and offered the show to other ABC affiliates across the country.

After Sinclair and another broadcaster, Nexstar Media Group, issued its condemnations, ABC’s parent company Disney put Kimmel’s show on indefinite hiatus. Episodes of “Celebrity Family Feud” have aired in place of Kimmel’s show in the 11:35 p.m. time slot (10:35 p.m. Central/Mountain Time).

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

The American deputy secretary of State, Christopher Landau, wrote online Thursday that Mr. Bolsonaro’s conviction drove “relations between our two great nations to their darkest point in two centuries.”

Many on the left in Brazil would argue that the United States’ support for the 1964 military coup that led to a 21-year dictatorship in Brazil was a darker moment. They see the current U.S. policy as another intervention from Washington on behalf of the plotters of a coup.

At the time of the shooting, a question was being asked of Kirk about mass shootings...

The Oregon Department of Corrections has moved to fire three corrections officers at the state’s largest prison who sent racist, antisemitic, homophobic and sexist texts, videos and images on a group thread with other members of the prison’s tactical team, records show.

The Snake River Correctional Institution employees, Thomas White and brothers Steven and Samuel Main, were placed on paid leave in December 2023 and continue to collect their salaries.

He made a list of nearly 40 people who had been involved in his arrest or who had helped to search his home as part of the Jan. 6 investigation, targeting them for assassination, prosecutors said. Mr. Kelley also planned to attack an F.B.I. office in Knoxville, prosecutors said, using improvised explosive devices attached to vehicles and drones.

“The man arrested, Vance Luther Boelter, 57, held deeply religious and politically conservative views.”

…
look it’s a big tangent from the main thrust of the article, but I’m not sure “deeply religious” is a good descriptor here, at least as it’s colloquially understood — which is in reference to the Christian religion.

The beliefs & views of MAGA “conservatives” bear almost no similarity to the longer tradition of Christianity - it’s an idolatrous (& frankly heretical) sect that’s been cultivated for decades to bolster a far-right authoritarian fascist movement.

The “Jesus” depicted in the Bible would almost definitely be repulsed by & condemn its adherents.

@magicalgirlsabrina I saw this headline like two minutes after this post lol, grim silver linings lol

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/myth-vs-reality-trends-retail-theft

“But an analysis by researcher Jeff Asher showed that, according to the limited data available, the stores Target closed in Portland and Seattle had less crime than stores that were not closing.”

Local media outlets (and particularly the one known for training up future police spokespeople) shared flagrant & harmful corporate disinformation about “organized retail theft”, and very few of them ever corrected the record. Not only is this hugely fucking irritating, this dishonest “law and order” fearmongering also 100% contributed to the political climate which enabled the current fascist takeover of the US govt.
