Multnomah County is meeting with the National Weather Service daily. It'll make the final decision whether to open cooling centers the morning before they'd open. Here's what other agencies are doing to help the most vulnerable.

“Im pregnant” maybe should have thought of that earlier. Not like there arent FREE condoms and probably birth control available to homeless, but they’re trying to get that extra welfare check. This is so beyond ridiculous, this has to stop.

Portland doesn’t have the shelter space to take in every vagrant on the streets. With this heatwave, the situation is especially dire.

That is why I’m a democratic Socialist because I believe in affordable housing. Because if you look at the percentage of people who live in homes it’s 95.5 percent of people in Cuba live in homes while Here in the us it’s 65.2 percent of people in the us live in homes. That is why I like Cuba. 🇨🇺>🇺🇸
