Remember that white house executive order against DEIA, “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility”?

They went out of their way to add the A for accessibility. So this is very sad but not surprising.

The U.S. Department of Education is ending grants to programs across Oregon that support students with disabilities, citing practices related to diversity, equity and inclusion. The cuts could make it harder for disabled students and their families to access help, especially in some of Oregon’s poorest rural communities.

"Oregon Trail": You have died of #dysentery

Dysentery outbreak hits Oregon

Dysentery rates have been rising among the Portland population since 2023, and is attributed largely to a lack of public restroom facilities.

lol weed union slipped a rickroll into the #Oregon voter’s pamphlet
Argument in Favor Never before have we had an opportunity to extend the freedom to unionize to cannabis workers at the ballot! Going forward, Oregon's cannabis workers need these freedoms to unionize and be protected when they do so. To help elevate their voices and concerns when it comes to issues like worker safety, wages, and holding employers accountable. Give Measure 119 a YES vote! You have read the accounts of unsafe working conditions and the lack of voice that cannabis workers have in their workplaces. Up to now, ambiguities in federal labor law have made it difficult for employees to exercise their freedom to unionize. Never again should we allow that to be the case. Going forward, Measure 119 will enshrine the freedom of cannabis workers to unionize in the state licensing process. To get a license for cannabis retail or processing from the OLCC would require a labor peace agreement if Measure 119 passes. Let workers decide for themselves if they want to exercise their freedom to unionize! You have the power to help make this a reality with a YES vote. Down the road, let's look back and know that we did the right thing. (Now read the first word of each sentence to hear what Measure 119 will never do.)
