There was not a single no vote against a 2022 law to pay people who were wrongfully convicted of crimes in the state. AND YET, Oregon's Department of Justice seems dead set on nickel and diming every case, as one advocate put it. opb.org/article/2024/0…

It’s Tuesday, April 16, 2024. WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by the FSB Mar 29, 2023. One year and 18 days ago A government that locks up journalists is one ashamed of the truth. JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME! 🗞️ 📰 📺 🎙️ FREE EVAN NOW! #IStandWithEvan
A key piece to helping people in crisis is being able to offer them a path forward. At Portland's Clinton Triangle shelter, that hasn't always an option. Many feel stuck. opb.org/article/2024/0…
10 years ago today, I was working a weekend shift @seattletimes when word came in of a landslide near a small town named Oso. It turned out to be the deadliest landslide in U.S. history. It also became an exhibit for why local journalism matters in a time of crisis. 1/

Oregon lawmakers have a counter-offer to @GovTinaKotek's signature bill of the session. They're suggesting less money for housing and want to pare back a controversial tool weakening state land use laws. From @LaurenDake #orleg #orpol opb.org/article/2024/0…
