It’s an obvious question, but why aren’t the mayor of Portland and the governor of Oregon having a high-level televised meeting with social justice and Black leaders, making it a kind of statewide zoom Town Hall? It’s clearly not enough anymore to just say “We need to do better.”

We're past the point of diplomacy I believe…

It seems Oregon has been chosen as the state that could set the tone for every other state that might go through the same issues. They need to step up and show how dissent is handled by Real Leaders.

Isn't it obvious? This isn't about that. It's about controlled consistent violence for an election. The left is evil. It's why #WalkAway exists. Once upon a time I was a Democrat. This party is a vile, intolerant Marxist lunatic asylum. They want this.

The White House would rather fight its own people in a display of ‘action’ that can be televised, rather than fight the real enemy: the pandemic, which requires compassion and complexity.

Great Question!

So many opportunities show themselves in this time of disruption. Will we grab them and make real change or let them slide by as we complacently wring our hands?

Wheeler is also the police commissioner. He could make radical change within the PPB but he won’t. He’s a right-wing Democrat. #vote for @sarah2020 a true progressive for mayor!

Also, why did they allow these unidentifiable forces into their area? It’s very convenient to let states defend themselves against lack of PPE, and other critical issues. But, than the WH intervenes to satisfy a brutal & financial quote.

Portlander here: our leadership is mediocre to the extreme. @tedwheeler, city council, the state - all meh. Oregon leaders can't lead.
