After losing his vision, Greg wasn't able to work anymore, could no longer afford rent, and was evicted. The Trump administration now plans to forcibly remove Greg and hundreds of other unhoused people living in Deschutes National Forest, with no plans to help them find housing.

Seems like Groundhog Day #inbend when I hear of more awesome community members being priced out. The brain drain of community minded people is real.

Not a surprise that Tony and Patti are putting their heads in the sand when it comes to listening to the People. 2027 can't come soon enough, get these people out. #deschutes www.opb.org/article/2025...

Good turnout for the #ATU Local 757 Union rally. Lots of honks and the #union really appreciated the support before heading into contract negotiations. #deschutes #centraloregon #bend #publictransit
