Im starting to fucking hate Portland. And more broadly Oregon voters. People are so afraid of a homeless person they want to rob the climate fund to hire a bunch of cops. They even got enough signatures to get on the ballot, how bout that.

The city is currently citing budget shortfalls (and blaming it all on the 4 out of 12 democratic socialist councilors who they think have complete contol of the council despite reality) while closing down resources like shelters, housing first programs, addiction recovery services, and needle exchanges. Even transit service is being cut. Where is the popular petition to spend climate resources investing in our population instead of arresting and jailing them?

Dont even get me started on how my state just collected enough signatures for a ballot measure that would criminalize all fishing, hunting, breeding, farming, and most veterinary care of animals in the state, while not being able to get enough signatures to enshrine abortion and trans rights into the oregon constitution. So yeah, it sure feels like my average fellow Oregonian is more adamant about protecting a cow or perhaps an alpaca than they are about protecting marginalized folks in any way.
