Desiree Hellegers reads an excerpt from her commentary, “An Anti-fascist Christmas Carol and Tale of Two Cities: Portland, Oregon at the Crossroads,” which appears in today’s edition of Counterpunch. She reflects on the role that the persistent demonization of houseless people, BLM protesters, and anti-fascists played in the City Council’s decision to spend $27 million on massive militarized camps for houseless people; on the routine deaths of houseless people on streets and sidewalks in the City of Roses; and on the existential threat to the City posed by Zenith Energy and the “tank farm” in NW Portland.
