Another approach: Shortly after Wilson's news dropped today, Seattle announced it's suing Trump over his anti-DEI orders.

I did not have Seattle being better for the fight against oppressive Trump tyranny than Portland on my bingo card.

I like Seattle's approach better.

At least as to this, Seattle > Portland. Which hurts to say.

We weren't granted temporary relief as the lawsuit moves through the courts and we need the checks like now so that is the choice. Temporarily start to combine until you flip after the court ruling or cut all social services for months/years until it is decided.

Choosing money over human rights and dignity seems ... bad, though? "Sorry, minorities, but money matters more than your lives" isn't a great stance.

It is the opposite really. All these programs currently helping people would be eliminated hurting thousands. The question is do you change some language and program policies while waiting out the lawsuit or make thousands homeless next month.

The question is, which minorities do we throw to the wolves to save everyone else?

Portland is only signed on to two lawsuits against the Trump administration related to federal immigration enforcement.

As he even stated in his letter we are already part of a lawsuit over the legality of the issue.

You're right! I misspoke. Portland did sign on to a Seattle-led lawsuit about DEI in May, but not the one filed today.

I don't get it. These "Executive Orders" are not laws. The article mentioned a DOJ initiative to investigate those who are in violation of civil rights laws, but Trimpy's EOs are NOT laws. Has the law been changed in response to these orders? If not, then cities shouldn't change anything.
