Here's an older Christine Drazan campaign sign, mounted to the stage owned by the Proud Boys at a rally with a ton of Proud Boys and an official Proud Boy booth. Drazan is not a centrist, Drazan is a fascist-supported MAGA.

I believe the man circled on the left is Scott Benthin, the disgraced Clackamas County Sheriff's Deputy who was fired for flashing his genitals at women in parks. So nice that he came to support Rhodes for Clackamas County Sheriff. Maybe Rhodes will post that endorsement on his website?

Found another school segregationist with all the dog whistles and euphemisms. Michael Summers is vice chair of Redmond School Board and is running for OR Rep. He thinks schools need to stick to their lane (values he agrees with) and stop teaching peoples' ideas that are different than his own.

Well, I found a video of Ron DeSantis speaking at the Oregon Reagan Dinner last weekend, a fundraiser for Christine Drazan and the MAGA GOP. DeSantis' speech was ultra-MAGA, just as you'd expect from the racists, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, segregationist governor from Florida.

That's cool, education about domestic violence and sexual assault is important. I don't remember the Mult. Sheriff or Portland Police condemning former PPB Chief Marshman when it was discovered he was a domestic abuser. You guys were kind of quite about that and he kept his job...
Multnomah County Sheriff's Office post: Education and awareness can make a big difference.
Detective Tamari Johnson with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, recently joined the @portlandpolice Special Victims Unit and Multnomah County, Oregon  Domestic Violence Crisis Response Unit for a presentation at Concorde Career College.
Together, they discussed warning signs that may indicate someone is experiencing or is at risk of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and shared information to help students recognize concerns and understand when and where to seek help. 
“This is essential education that helps students recognize signs of domestic violence, understand the complexities and challenges involved,” explains Det. Johnson.
We’re grateful for opportunities like this to work alongside our community partners, share resources, and help increase awareness around important issues.

I love studying the convergence of right-wing patriarchal fundamentalist Christianity with MLM and pyramid schemes. The messaging is nearly identical, which is probably why so many Christian Nationalists naturally get caught-up in these schemes and their churches become hubs for scams.

I can sympathize with a dog dying and officers getting injured. I can't sympathize with PPB Sgt Schmautz, who heads the police collective bargaining unit, omitting that the police shot and killed a human yesterday, a tragic loss of life. Anytime they kill a person, it's a failure.
Portland Police Association post. Image of police dog. 
oday is a stark reminder of the dangers our police officers face every day.
Earlier today, two Central Precinct officers were attacked and assaulted while assisting on a low-level abatement call. Both were taken to the hospital and are thankfully now home recovering.
Hours later, officers from multiple agencies, including Portland, attempted to take a suspect into custody. Tragically, K-9 Kylo died while protecting the lives of police officers.
Kylo was working the final shift of his career before retirement.
There will be much to say in the days ahead about Kylo, his sacrifice, and the officers he protected. Tonight, our hearts are with his handler, his family, and all those who worked alongside him. He will never be forgotten.
These two calls began very differently, but both are reminders of how quickly an ordinary call can become extraordinarily dangerous for those who respond.
We are deeply grateful for the men and women who continue to show up, answer the call, and protect our community every day.
