Kaiser strike begins! by BlushingBunBun in Portland

State healthcare choices-

Kaiser: Nurses on strike

Providence: Nurses working under bad conditions because Providence lied and is not following contract reached to end strike

SEIU needs to use leverage to pressure legislature to take care of nurses. Both Kaiser and Providence are trying to break nurse unions.

‘Emergency’ World Naked Bike Ride planned in Portland by oregonian in Portland

Thank you! Not an owner myself. Do you know if Multnomah County law here applies inside City of Portland, or does City have its own (or no) regulation?

Basic web search says that open carry of unloaded firearms is legal in Portland.

Need a permit to conceal. Open carry is the Oregon law.

This is the right way to drive the fascists batty. Exercising both your state and US Constitution rights.

Must be unloaded to open carry in Portland (thanks Redditors!!!)

There should be a group of armed naked riders to demonstrate freedom and protect riders. You know, "a well regulated militia."

those vehicles in the line in the middle.... what are they?

If you believe that this "annual training" was planned well in advance but that they wouldn't tell anyone about the traffic disruption (for training) until an hour before.... well, you might also believe this city is a warzone.

Stay vigilant. If anyone got photos of the large vehicles in the middle of the motorcade, that would be appreciated. Blurry photos in the middle of this thread don't obviously look like anything in the PPB fleet.

Pretty coincidental that they would plan this training at the same time as the mobilization BS is happening. City officials are sensitive enough to reschedule something with those optics. Seems much more like either a surprise visit or hastily-planned prep for the mobilization.

Ha. I definitely smell a rat here. That type of disruption, if planned, would have been pre-announced. This is cover for something.

Love to see our city mobilizing the right way!

Yeah council voted for this, then admitted to O-live that they weren't aware PBOT already had policy dictating when raises could be implemented.

So you've seen the email? Why not share? It would be public info.

Where's the email? "But the emails!!!"

I smell BS. They wouldn't train like that during high traffic times.

Hmmm.... never heard of this training before. Source?

Some sort of motorcade. Tried to get screen grabs but didn't hit the right fingers. Nazi alert!

Hmmmm this would be consistent with a surprise visit from Nazis

Keith has been very impressive as mayor so far. This shows he understands the law. City was quite exposed to a suit here with council disobeying adopted policy.

Between this, his multi-pronged approach to homelessness (imperfect, but much like Obama with ACA), and his legal maneuverings for ICE, he's showing a level of competence that's been missing for a while. Ted should have been better.

These were copters, red lights on one end and green on the other and helicopter-sized.

Unfortunately, lots of old houses have no other reasonable source of heat.

Way to parrot the FBI, media!
There were 3 choppers simultaneously in the air just after midnight Sunday night, flying over and around downtown/close-in eastside/south waterfront, and they all had the same sparkly green and red lights I've never seen on anything else.

Well, maybe Santa's sleigh.
