Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!
This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!
Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.
At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!
2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.
Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:
- Don't attack other users.
It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).
It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

Modern Republicans wish the confederacy and Nazis had won.
Funny answer: theyre scared of people in inflatable frog costumes.
Serious answer: because they hope to incite blue states to openly rebel against the us government, because they have been consuming their own propaganda for decades and enough people at the top genuinely believe they are different from democrats and somehow think that despite all evidence to the contrary democrats will stop them from implementing fascism.
Ah, fuck
Good luck 🥲😶🌫️
Well, I can't wait to dance with the nat guard.
Remeber, the guard is your friend. They are fellow civilians that enlisted to help their neighbors in times of need. So offer them cookies, hot cocoa, and good beats to dance to. Let them know that the people are not the enemy, but their friends and neighbors.
Theyre deliberately bringing in Guardsmen from Republican-leaning areas on the theory that they'll be more hostile
That just makes them your past or future neighbor.
