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:
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.

The violent left rears its ugly head again. Had these fearless officers not arrested this thug he may have escalated to tying their shoe laces together or taping a kick me sign to their back. God bless you brave patriot heroes. I for one shall sleep better tonight.
Don't assault Tesla employees. They are just trying to feed themselves and pay rent, same as you.
(Shining a laser counts as assault because you can blind or permanently damage someone's eyes)
Unless they're nazis?
Musk is a Nazi.
And yes, that means there's a Nazi in charge of Tesla.
It doesn't actually make them Nazis, nor does hurting them actually hurt any Nazis. Musk certainly wouldn't care.
You can argue that neutrality is a form of harm, that by working for him they're aiding him, sure, thats valid and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. But they're not Nazis. If we're gonna blind someone with a laser, we should target the people that are actively being Nazis. They're worse than "man that works at a car dealership"
Fun fact: the local ICE office has a Tesla dealership right next to it.
If that's what happens when people don't do anything illegal then we might as well be molotoving the Teslas anyway
