NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Get the mayor and city councilors to staff it, then!
#PortlandME #WarmingShelter closed last night, tonight due to staffing issue
Maine's Total Coverage reached out to the city Sunday, but got no answer
Updated: 8:28 PM EST Dec 28, 2025
PORTLAND, Maine — "A warming shelter in Portland is closed for a second night Sunday after someone from the shelter said staffing shortages caused a closure last night.
"According to the 2025 winter warming plan, the city opens the warming shelter when the low temperature drops below 15 degrees, or there is more than 10 inches of snow accumulation. Last night, low temperatures in Portland dipped into the single digits.
" 'I know a few good people who are out there and they don't have anywhere to go because they lost their housing,' said Julie Geistert, a resident.
"The warming shelter on Riverside Street has a 60-person capacity and is often activated during the winter season. Maine's Total Coverage reached out to the city Sunday, but got no answer. When a call was placed to the shelter, a person told us a 'staffing issue' led to the closure last night. When we stopped by the shelter, we were told it would also be closed Sunday night, but were told to contact the director. We did not hear back.
" 'I think there's just too many people trying to get into those places, there's just such a problem right now, and so much of the problems they're facing are just freezing,' Geistert said."

Local #Homeless Service Provider Regroups After Fires
Three recent fires left Hygiene4All with major setbacks. The blazes compound recent funding losses as the nonprofit sees an uptick in need. by Jeremiah Hayden A local nonprofit that helps #homeless Portlanders access showers, survival supplies, and community care is trying to regroup after a series of fires left the location unable to operate..

Good Morning, News: Chuck Norris Dies, City Councilor Sends Very Spicy Emails, #Homeless Services Org Needs Support After Four Recent Fires, and Buzzfeed Let AI Prompt Its Downfall
Time is running out to tell the Trump administration what you think about its proposal to drastically scale up logging in Oregon's old-growth forests. The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a plan last month that would quadruple the amount of allowed logging in western Oregon's forests, in hopes of increasing timber yield harvest to about 1 billion board feet annually. Last year, the BLM yielded around 250 million board feet in the same area, so this would be a dramatic increase-akin to what was being harvested prior to restrictions that were put in place in the 1990s (remember the Northern Spotted Owl!??). Some in the timber industry celebrated the proposal, as did leaders in parts of Oregon that historically relied on logging money and have suffered economically since the restrictions went into place. It speaks to major problems within Oregon's government and budget system that these rural logging counties have not been able to recover in the 30+ years since the BLM was las

Kevin Sampsell's New Novel Looks at the World Through a Baby in the Night
When we find stuff to hate it means we're becoming more like grown-ups. by Jeremiah Hayden Tony Ventura, the main character of Kevin Sampsell's surreal novel Baby in the Night, doesn't have the words or the context to understand his surroundings; he's only two years old after all.. "It was like my brain really wanted to but my mouth didn't know how yet or maybe just didn't try hard enough," Tony says of learning how to talk.. But as the first-person narrator, Tony is well-suited to describe his world in fresh ways. He can't lean on stereotypes; he can only learn about the world as he perceives it, tabula rasa. This makes for a compelling story about a boy searching for his departed father, who he believes is the Moon. Tony shows childlike compassion for people living in poverty, including his own mother, as cynicism hasn't yet damaged his world.. See everything in the 2026 Spring Arts Guide collection here.

The Mercury's 2026 Spring Arts Preview: We Need Art to Survive
You don't have to have an art focus to benefit from art. by Suzette Smith It was staff writer Lindsay Costello who inspired this issue's theme. During a new year discussion about our team's goals, she mentioned: "More and more, I am realizing that we need art to survive.". The phrase seemed deeply relevant, working in two ways: We need art to survive for our personal enrichment and enjoyment. We need art to survive for its own longevity, so it can be around for us and those who come after us.. 2025 was difficult for everyone-seriously, show me whose life has been made easier by the second Trump presidency; even his allies are anxiety-sweating through their sheets-but the chaos of sudden, massive cuts to National Endowment for the Arts and other government programs shook arts and culture institutions who had come to rely on and take pride in that funding.. "Once you hit that high standard, it's a signal to other funders that you've made it," Brian Weaver, artistic director at Portland P

Inside the Race for County Chair: Financial Woes, #Homeless Services, and Capitulating to Trump
Two current commissioners are vying to lead Multnomah County in 2027, each promising a new governing style. by Abe Asher The race for chair of the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners has begun in earnest.. Last month, Commissioner Shannon Singleton became the first major contender to declare her candidacy for the position being vacated by Jessica Vega Pederson. She was quickly joined by her fellow commissioner, Julia Brim-Edwards. Voters will decide in a ranked choice election in November who will take the helm.. Singleton, who was elected to the Board in 2024 in a special election to represent a district that covers North and Northeast Portland, told the Mercury that she joined the race because she believes she can better serve the county as an executive rather than a legislator. . "I think I've been able to get a lot of things done in my role as commissioner for District 2-I've also focused a lot on some district-specific things," Singleton said. "As chair, I'd have the ability
