Stay up to date on Portland news and politics. Looking for fun? Here are the best Things to Do in Portland today.
GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Your true beauty’s description; look so good that it hurts. You’re a dime plus 99, and it’s a shame, don’t even know what you’re worth. LET’S GO TO PRESS.
A new self-managed homeless village similar to Right 2 Dream Too is operating in Northeast Portland on city-owned land, and we have the details.
An Oregonian reader from Tualatin is making a stand and refusing to shop in Portland anymore, guys!! Not only is Chad afraid to step on needles (gasp, clutch pearls), the city has the gall to issue Chad parking tickets for not following the rules! (Enjoy shopping at the Tualatin Walmart, Chad!)
Speaking of the Oregonian, their conservative editorial board (who is largely responsible for propagating the “Portland is covered with NEEDLES, EEEEEEEEK!” narrative) is STILL mad that their bid to sink Measure 101 didn’t work, and are now crying about it in this butt-hurt piece.
The DoveLewis Vet Hospital is looking for dogs who can donate blood because they’re running low on certain types. Help a puppy out!
The willfully corrupt GOP are doing everything they can to stop the Trump investigation, including pushing to release a memo that implies that Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein improperly approved surveillance of someone who was CLEARLY involved with the Russians. Ummm… what are we waiting for? LOCK THE GOP UP!
Meanwhile the GOP doesn’t think it’s all that important to protect Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller from Trump’s efforts to fire him. Because they are willfully corrupt and we should LOCK THEM UP!
And while they were so violently against it when Obama brought it up, the willfully corrupt GOP now thinks that expanding Medicaid is actually a pretty good idea!
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are concerned that Trump’s racist plans to curb legal immigration are going to sink DACA.
Oh, and by the way, Trump’s State of the Union address is happening tomorrow. Will you be watching it? Fuck no, me neither. Fuck that guy.
Jay-Z and Trump got into a beef this weekend, because this is the world we live in now.
Here’s yet another reason to dislike Christians: “Millions of Americans Believe God Made Trump President.”
Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance for the Grammys, reading aloud an excerpt from Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury. A+ trolling, Grammys!

Speaking of the Grammys, Bruno Mars pulls an upset over Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar, taking home six awards, while Kesha led a white-clad choir of women in support of the #MeToo/Time’s Up movement.
Now it’s time for the WEATHER FORECAST: Late showers today with another balmy high of 58.
And finally, if you’re a dude and STILL confused about the do’s and don’t do’s of sexual harassment, no one explains it better than these wildly charming British people.
“Not only is Chad afraid to step on needles (gasp, clutch pearls)”
So dumb.
According to a recent Mercury article, I thought needles didn’t exist downtown?
And think about the reason why the Mercury is the FIRST “news” outlet to report in this new homeless camp: It’s likely because the homeless advocates called them due to the fact that they knew an appropriate spin would be made on the issue.
Is the Mercury biased? Nah, not at all!
Billy Steve Humphrey is really making a karmic case for himself to step on a Hepatitis tainted needle at some point in the near future. It’s not a particularly funny issue, pal. I don’t care if it’s a couple dozen rather than hundreds, anyone who pays attention has seen them around, and I have to hope every time I go out with my toddler that he doesn’t see it before I do and try to pick it up.
When we start sincerely using terms like “butthurt” as a pejorative are we still really standing on high ground?
It’s a lot of fun, being consistently disappointed by people you ostensibly agree with who nonetheless take their public forum and use it for kindygarden bullshit over and over again. Fuck Billy Steve, fuck the Merc.
Except Damesy.
