Rip City Not Rip Off@ripcitynotripoff.bsky.social · last mo.Insane. The Blazers, to OPB: we can’t show the city final renderings until the city commits to a financing plan. $600M first. THEN we’ll tell you what it buys. Even Mayor Wilson now admits: “We don’t yet have all the information we’ll need to negotiate successfully.” Here’s what comes next 👇
“Hard work of members of the NYPD” Wait, I thought socialists wanted to abolish the police??!! What’s going on here? 😂
