Oregon Health Authority (OHA) filed to make their ability to permanently mask Oregon school children at their whim, with no metrics and the OHA now has the permanent power to lift and replace the mandate as they see fit forever. https://www.opb.org/article/2022/02/02/oregon-health-authority-extends-masking-rule-in-schools/

https://twitter.com/OHAOregon/status/1487238445948940288

OHA made the general mask mandate rule permanent today for all citizens at 12:29 pm. https://twitter.com/GenevieveReaume/status/1490802558905978881?s=20&t=Dt8EVptN8zjlfCmrVoZQ6g

After making the mask mandate permanent, quietly and without a press release, the OHA then announced that it would lift the mandate by March 31. But we should be careful because OHA now has the authority to mask all Oregonians at its whim, with no metrics, forever. https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2022/02/oregon-will-lift-mask-mandate-by-march-31-officials-say.html

Rebranded as the Rational in Portland podcast.

We speak to Susan Griffin (Twitter handle @SusanGriffin530), a lesbian Portlander and lifelong Democrat who lives downtown. She describes herself as a "forgotten resident". She is physically and mentally disabled, and she spoke to me from her wheelchair about what it was like to live through 200 days of rioting in Portland, Oregon, from her government-subsidized housing. Learn what separates Susan from those living on the street around her in encampments and how she copes with her mental illnesses, addiction, and living in a city that she feels has utterly abandoned her.

It's hard to speak out in Portland. That's why we have this podcast. Today you will hear from Sarah, a 20-year-old who voted for Trump and is a conservative from Portland. Before today, the only people who knew Sarah's political affiliation were her family. She opens up to us about what it's like to be a conservative in Portland.
