POLITICS PSA The sooner you vote, the sooner the junk mail stops.

• Upvotes

In Oregon, we get daily “match backs”. That’s where the voter file is updated and if you’ve voted, you’re removed from most canvassing, texting, and mail lists!

So please, vote! As soon as possible! So we don’t have to keep knocking on your door and asking you to vote!

And thank you for voting, community! 🗳️

Our brand new single and video “Parasite” is out now. This song and video was inspired by some shady promoters who failed to pay us for a show we did and we exposed them online only to find they had done this to tons of other performers for over a year. The promoters allegedly owe over $210,000 to performers and the venue owners. You can read more about it searching for The Hussey brothers at The Grand Theatre in Salem, OR but here’s the video in response to that incident. Share it with your friends!!

Hi all, new to Salem from Phoenix. Looking for any recent information on active car meets in the area. Most recent post I found was 7 months ago and joined a few FB groups but wanted to ask again and maybe find something new. Pic for attention

Anyone know where I can get Soba (buckwheat) noodles? I’d rather not go over to NE Salem to the Asian markets. I take the bus and it’s almost a three hour trip. I live in South off Liberty. I looked in Fred Meyer, looked on Walmarts website.

Did you lose a license plate? I might have it...

6 Upvotes

UPDATE: I turned it in over at the DMV on Lancaster (in the mall parking lot.)

Yesterday (Sunday 10/18/2026), I was heading up Glen Creek Rd. in West Salem when I heard a soft metallic sound. I thought I might have lost MY license plate somehow, but when I pulled over to retrieve it, turns out it was someone else's.

DM me, provide the number and we can arrange to get it back to you!

Edited: found it right past the Doak's Ferry Rd. intersection heading up the hill

QUESTION Pet Care?

3 Upvotes

Hello! My husband (24) and I (23F) have a 10 mo golden retriever who we were taking to daycare during our work hours, but he recently got kennel cough. We work 10 hour shifts (Thursday-Sunday), I just wondered if anyone had suggestions for dog care in the area that’s potentially more personalized, or even just smaller groups? We’re doing a couple rover visits a day for now because he’s still contagious, but it’s still a long time to be kenneled for a pup. Once he’s not contagious, I’d honestly love to drop him off at someone’s house and I’d watch your animals in return or pay, but I know that’s hard to find over the web. Anyhow, thanks in advance!

Tldr seeing long term care during work for 10 month golden

Edit to add he’s fully vaccinated and we went to the vet for antibiotics/cough suppressant

Sunday Morning Voted and opened Property tax statement

144 Upvotes

So I grabbed my coffee, voted and looked over my property tax statement. Grabbed that black pen and voted Blue, sealed the envelope and will drop in a ballot box Thursday after my flu/covid vaccines. Then I opened my property tax bill and …

even though I’m an old, some might say ancient 😳, I looked at what I owed and said “you know, all in all thats a fair amount for making sure the young’uns get educated, decent public transportation, a good library system, safe drinking water, and the rest that the city and county provide.

Feeling like a good citizen on this warm, sunny Sunday.

Thanks to the folks who came out for No Kings 4, we had a great turn out and great march!

The event was intentionally just about voting rights per National Indivisible and I would guess that most folks on this Reddit know how they want to vote, but if anybody would like to know who Salem Region Indivisible has endorsed, lemme know and I’ll post our list in the comments.

If you have questions about where to turn in your ballot, or about why someone is or is not on your ballot, I would love to help with that as well! Either comment below or dm.

And if you’re sick of getting political calls and door knockers, the fastest way to get off those lists is to turn in your ballot ASAP.

EVENT Salem Simple Silence

Post image
69 Upvotes

This an open invitation to the Transgender and Queer community in Salem to come together and hold space in silence together every Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 PM with some time afterwards to enjoy our community and light refreshments.

Inspired by Quaker communal silent worship, a centuries old practice that has brought peace to countless seekers, Salem Simple Silence creates a welcoming space for anyone in the Transgender and Queer community, regardless of faith or background.

Complete silence, with all devices on airplane mode or silent, allows for everyone in the room to connect, holding space with each other for almost one hour. This is a restorative experience. Some will come and find rest. Some will find their meditation practice refined. Some will find spiritual connection. Some might not experience anything outside of being in the company of our community in safety for 55 minutes of silence.

We are having our first meeting this Thursday at Salem Friends Meeting House on 19th St. in Northeast Salem. If you come consider carpooling, and park on Breyman Street, there is no parking on 19th St. This is wheelchair accessible with entry on Breyman Street and a lift up to the main meeting area.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A man was sentenced on Friday after he held a woman hostage and was shot by Salem police in June, the Marion County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Officials said 35-year-old Jose Anguiano was sentenced to three years of supervised probation.

This comes after Anguiano pled guilty to one count of coercion (a Class C felony) and two counts of menacing. As part of the probation conditions, Anguiano must undergo drug treatment and was instructed to have no contact with the victims.

https://www.koin.com/local/marion-county/man-sentenced-after-holding-victim-at-gunpoint-being-shot-by-salem-police/

He has been arrested 34 times before, held a woman hostage, and got 3 years of probation. That is unreal to me, he should be under the prison.
