WHAT TO KNOW:
- A Portland cop was pulled from his job monitoring protests after WW revealed texts showing police discussions with right-wing leader Joey Gibson. Mayor Ted Wheeler promised to implement training for the Portland Police Bureau on identifying white supremacy.
- Gail Stevens, a former lawyer for the Oregon Legislature, Saturday filed a whistleblower lawsuit against Senate President Peter Courtney and House Speaker Tina Kotek for failing to protect her after she reported sexual harassment.
- The father of the Vancouver-based missionary who was killed by bow and arrow last November says Christian evangelicalism is to blame.
- City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty is proposing to delay until November 2020 the requirement that building owners post placards on unreinforced masonry buildings, which are high risk of collapse during an earthquake.

- Cry Babe started with a catcall. “[Our] first song set up our parameters—what we stood for seemed clearer after that,” frontwoman Anaïs Genevieve says. “We are for femmes, we will fight back, and that fight will be on our terms, not theirs.”
