She told me that she rode over 600 miles on it last year and was so proud of herself. She was so happy.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

HOT COMMIE SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING!!!!

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Unbelievably tragic piece about all the crossing guards injured or killed on the job in the US.

One school district in South Carolina has had 4(!) crossing guards hit or killed on the job.

These are people trying to fix the problems caused caused by traffic engineers, and are dying doing it.

Dang, too bad we live in Portland where our corporate democrats have yet to figure out running on affordability (and decreasing the cost of childcare) IS a winning issue. Go vote for Katie Wilson

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Drivers will never stop being takers unless we make them pay what car infrastructure actually costs.

You should vote yes and if you’re one of those dummies who complain about your property taxes and are voting no, I’d like to remind you that if you have the money buy property in Portland, you have the money to pay the extra $10 a year for nice parks for everyone

It’s only a matter of time before soldiers and the Feds deployed to Portland start getting SAD really bad. One of my favorite Lewis and Clark facts is they hated Oregon because it rained so much they got really sad and they couldn’t wait to leave in the spring. Let it rain!
