@mayorkwilson.bsky.social are you tracking these comments?

This is all very bad for our reputation. Everyone knows they aren't taking any Portland Maine.

When are you going to speak up against the DSA representing Portland?

We can't afford the mistakes to continue

@ryanjhaas.bsky.social help!

We should be using 21st century polling more.

If advertisers know what we want, politicians ought to be clearer to.

But I believe confusion is the goal

Cynicism is very easy when we let self centred politicians get away with all that they do. And put them on pedestals

Waves to DSA - yes you!

"I must be right and I will use my time to show it" bc that's what the crazy folks on the left do

BUT she in a silo and hasn't figured this out yet.

Humble is not a word to be considered by Angelita.

Please see through it.

How has your life improved? Be honest. Or is it all vibes?

But we still need to reckon with. Do we like rich people or only when convenient?

Schnitzer and Knoght are too such names that appear to swing depending upon the context.

Can we get consistent? Or do we like this confusion?

When will Rukiyah to a bigger audience?

Bc you know, the youth need to work with other generations.

Or choose not to bc words are important than people! (And being right)

Maybe someone will tell her that doesn't make it right v

Many of us find this works to be quite offensive

But apparently we don't matter. We just get laughed at

Such a pattern by young ones

Some things stay private. Esp if you're a leader. May she learn basic stuff

It's fun when you live in a city and you see people

When will Downtown see people?

We can't wait until 2030

Sports are fun!

You can't give one group of people, housing and money and no one else anything

If you want everyone to get better, give us the tools.

Don't make people
dependent on you

And I'm advocating for
Others not me.

There are plenty of how tos that have been developedโ€ฆ There's not just one way to do it

When you decide what kind of support you want to give people make sure you understand it and then be consistent

Eg How does direct cash transfer jive with social housing?

I hope you understand direct cash transfers! They can be very empowering!

But there are principles that need understanding

Pls be sure to take the time to understand why direct cash works.

But it must be available to all who qualify, otherwise resentment will build like PFA

It's not a slogan!

I see that @pnwpolicyangel is asking for magic solutions to deal with ICE

I think she might look to Minneapolis.

You can make a difference. Our city is choosing this bizarre response which means nothing.

We have frogs. And Chris Olson.

We're not cooking well.

I imagine I'm not the only one

We all read the Ryan Haas article and can't believe a word that comes out of OPB's mouth

Especially given your activist background

Does anybody in media in this state want to see the state get fixed?

Or are you all making so much money that you like the destruction?

You're all becoming. JVPs.

It's basic 101 budgeting and understanding economics

Get the big brain councillors to explain it to the little brain councillors

I didn't come up with these adjectives, they did it to themselves.

in a city that loves food, but can't figure out where a James Beard award bakery ought to go (so sad!)

This analogy might help

Please share it with your young colleagues who seem to be kicking back at the ageism complaints.

The young are on a pedestal here. Don't let them suggest otherwise.

This was said by Eric Adams.

I would get louder against the peacock squawks and squeals.

Our city deserves better.

It's interesting that you're breaking from Green. We like that! TY.

Will someone dare say this in Portland

Do we like knight and schnitzer or are we supposed to hate them when it's convenient bc they are rich???

That doesn't feel very good

It also smells like youngism speak.

Albina and PAM greatly benefit from these families.

Let's stop the hypocrisy.

I want to see the councillors response

Instead, we're having a distraction because of the smith gun comment.

Which Morillo thinks is silly.

But nothing is accomplished

When will we have an outcome?

โ€ฆ I'm surprised we haven't seen you on a list along side of Bob

You speak to rationally

Do you get push back or have you figured out a way to say these things without being called Astroturf?

Does anybody ask you for your opinion?

I would love so many more of you to stand up!

We had the opportunity to have John Walker on the council

Instead, they put in people who like the sound of their own voice, like the way they dance and want to show it off, or enjoy wearing red lipstick.

Outcomes do not matter.

It's very sad because we have good bones

โ€ฆ So it was in reaction to what the city administrator said.

I'll rewind it just a little bit further

I could call them genderless rats

Anyone in Portland who hasn't yet blocked me it's exactly what I'm talking about

Let me tread a council person of two

@councilorepg.bsky.social
@councilorkanal.bsky.social

This is not a healthy city. It's a hypocritical city. Filled with strutting wannabe be ๐Ÿฆš

I'm here to say don't trust the DSA anymore

They're wolves in sheep clothing

If you don't know that idiom, please look it up

They want the rules changed but not to anything that helps all of us

Watch who they talk about. It's not you and me. It's systems for them to skim

Pay close attention

Apparently only some people can reply! Denocraric, inclusive and transparent city we have here! (The irony! The hypocrisy!)

It looks like there are buildings here. What is happening??? How exactly does this happen?

Where are you? Presidency makes things different

This was way longer than a ten minute disruption.

And you like security when it benefits you.

Hmmmm. I smell hypocrisy. Never a good smell

Disruption at 28 mins

More people are on Facebook than they are on Bluesky

So glad to see you have a new account there, but your engagement is nonexistent so please up that

It's still not clear what the role of the mayor is and what you're supposed to do.

You need to get off blue sky and make this more widely known.

We need billboards. The 4th/5th Avenue and Washington billboard could be used.

What was the disruption in chambers about yesterday? Are we ever going to be normal again?

19.02.2026 16:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It starts at 28 minutes.

And it's in reply to the city administrator talking

And they do sound like very young voices!
