When I was running for City Council in 2024, I attended a virtual Dem Party meeting and I said we need to use the word genocide in the resolution and they said it was “too controversial.”

Months later this pretty powerful person in local politics did everything she could to stop me getting elected

To be clear: saying “I should be able to have a gun in this situation” is exactly the same as saying “I should be able to shoot a gun in this situation.” That is why Councilor Loretta Smith looks absolutely ridiculous. No gun fired in that circular seating arrangement with audience is gonna work out

Portland-based architecture firm ZGF agreed to a $100 million contract to design the new ICE & DHS headquarters in Washington DC. Seems like a good reason to avoid doing business with them in future. meltoregon.noblogs.org/zgf-architec...

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

I say this as someone who loves technology but hates the tech industry - why do we have to love technology? why do we have to give something like AI clemency for its errors? It's a product we are being sold, it should have to earn our money or attention.

So... turns out if you are staying in one of the overnight shelters that Wilson popped up - if you are taking hormones via injection, you're tossed out. There is no secluded or supervised space where you can do that and dispose of the needle. They just say "NO NEEDLES" and kick you out.

Here's why I can't support Gavin Newsom ever.

Gavin Newsom keeps hanging out and publicly agreeing with the men responsible for shifting the public in favor of killing my community.

Death before detransition, and detransition includes ANY detransition. I don't care what the law says.

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive.

Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list.

Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

how does someone mow down a family of four, blame the car (no issue was found), transfer real estate to Nevada LLCs to avoid compensating the victims' families, and then walk away with nothing more than probation?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Whether it's Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. fighting to desegregate public restrooms or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. snorting cocaine off of toilet seats, toilets play a key role in the history of the Kennedys.

We live in an age of monsters.

kid-in-the-brown-hoodie is a whole-ass ideology

Remember when Portland had a run of progressive policy Ws with Preschool for All and Portland Clean Energy Fund and an alternative to police called Portland Street Response and then a bunch of people lost their minds and started trying to tear down all these policies? We remember.

I'll say it a thousand times if I have to:

Any "concerns" about trans people competing in sports is just transphobia. Full stop.

If you don't promise me right now that you'll vote for 99% Hitler in 3 years I'm going to k*** your entire family and make you watch

Black text on a playful yellow background: “My child will be moving into preschool next fall and we need the cost savings from Preschool for All to cover daycare costs for our next child. It is literally the only thing allowing us to grow our family by one more, the cost of living is so extreme that we cannot afford to have the family we want without it.” - Emily F. Portland parent

✨Story Time!✨
The savings from Preschool For All allow families to have the children they want, knowing that the support will be there for them. These are family-planning decisions being made today that depend on our electeds keeping their promise to fully fund the program in the years to come!

I Had a Dream Journalism Job. Here's Why I Quit. The rot that hollowed out trust in corporate media finally reached OPB. I had to go.

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

If you think public education and child care should be the bare minimum that all children receive, please sign this petition. The worst people in Oregon want to kill Preschool For All and we must defend it at all costs

Dear journalists please ask someone:

1) what is wrong with the existing Moda center. Specifically - why is it in need of repair or replacement?

2) what is the capacity of the renovated Moda Center? Are there more seats? Are the newly reconfigured seats equally affordable?

Did you make it on the Certified Chiller list?

There are so many traditions around the world for picking names you want to go by and they’re all wonderful. Everyone should feel entitled to doing so.

See how this headline reduces fascism by one side to an issue where both sides are “deeply divided”?

NPR isn’t federally funded anymore. I keep waiting for them to get more direct in framing what Trump admin is doing.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.
