Whatโ€™s crazy is that even in its current state the Mt. hood express is already such a hack for mountain access. The potential is huge

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

Special place in hell for people who find the time to do a sheepish apology wave but not to drive anywhere approximating a safe speed nor to actually stop for me and my 1yo at the crosswalk

i made donations to my local food banks today. please do the same, if you are able. federal funding for SNAP runs out in less than a week, and adults and children alike will starve if we don't step up to help.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

If I wanted to get official state department statements forwarded to me, I would just follow lil Marco directly on truth social or whatever

Continued escalation from Trump this morning. I need to hear a forceful response to this from Gov. Kotek, assuring Oregonians we will not tolerate this level of illegal intimidation. To service-members: remember you do not have to follow an unlawful order such as implied below.

This is my nearest commercial corridor and itโ€™s already causing me to spend more time there, adjust my walking routes to cross paths w/ more businesses bc of better ped crossings, etc. Not perfect, and drivers are going way over the new speed limit, but still great bang for $

Trump sending ICE agents to Newsomโ€™s press conference is thuggish totalitarian behavior, but more than that itโ€™s deeply pathetic, insecure, and petty.

it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

and as far as responsibility goes, i think ferritor should be held criminally liable for the laws he broke while doing DOGE's work and referred for crimes against humanity

04.08.2025 15:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3530    ๐Ÿ” 379    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 31    ๐Ÿ“Œ 21

what ferritor needed was moral education โ€” and the limits and boundaries that come with it. he needed to learn that he had obligations beyond his own interests & personal advancement. he needed to learn that he had duties to other people. his parents fostered his brilliance at the expense of a soul.

If I hear from other Oregon electeds that we need tax relief Iโ€™m going to be like, โ€œBabe, you didnโ€™t pass a transportation bill and youโ€™ve defunded infrastructure โœ‹โ€

Weโ€™re evicting people from affordable housing ffs

Weโ€™re fighting Trumpism. Get your priorities straight.

Fascism is undoubtedly the purpose of the ICE budget, because ICE is already struggling to meet its kidnapping quotas with anything immigration-related. They're already deep into people with no criminal record, people at immigration hearings, veterans, children with cancer, and naturalized citizens.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

PDX is an enormous source of tax revenue and GDP for the state. It should absolutely throw its weight around and be prepared to go it alone on table-stakes public spending if the state can't find a way to do it.

Mike Lee publicly announces he's withdrawing his public lands sell-off

The multi-trillion-dollar destruction of America is moving forward, but at least the contemptible Mike Lee has to publicly eat shit today

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget
