“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Job postings suggest ICE may be eyeing Portland for detention facility Hiring listings for ICE positions could indicate the federal government plans to launch a detention center in Portland.

TOP & REASONS WHY ICE IS SPOTIFY'S #1 FAN 1) Spotify is running ICE ads in between your favorite songs 2) Spotify claims that ICE recruitment ads DID NOT violate it's ad policies 3) While ICE terrorizes communities, Spotify is helping boost their recruitment efforts 4) Spotify would rather be wrapped in complicity to ICE's terror than refuse ICE ad money indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (or deserve) free advertising for Spotify Wrapped: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

seemed like they just lost the juice in the second half, and the opposing team had an incredible go go gadget arm goalie

0-1

Pilots were in control and led in shots first half, but visiting team really wanted it in that second half and got one in. Pilots also missed a LOT of good shots

well it wasn’t the outcome we’d hoped for lol, but live sportsball yelling is fine. also til Megan Rapinoe was a Portland Pilot

Fun soccer arena shot

cycled over for Friday night lights at Portland pilots⚽️ ! Glad I’m in the bleachers because a wild kick just bounced out of the arena and I believe onto the Willamette Ave south bound bike lane

The US military says it killed four people in an air strike on a suspected drug boat in in the Eastern Pacific.

The attack was ordered by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is under scrutiny over a previous attack in which survivors were killed in a follow-up strike.

ugh. giant white and black mcmansions are the devil's work

@councilorepg.bsky.social please take this seriously and use Council's oversight powers to get to the bottom of what happened here. It will be very hard to continue trusting any part of our city government if admin misconduct continues to be casually brushed off.

how can philanthropic types deliver “impact” on climate resilience? look for initiatives working deep partnerships to address multiple crises in each project. climate resiliency done well touches on housing, social isolation, traffic violence, historic land theft/genocide, public health etc

Depave has also partnered with NASA to measure how our greening projects lower ambient temps in formerly redlined areas of PDX, but my point was we aren’t making progress on climate without shifting the systems that are causing the crisis

this week I was lucky enough to get to speak to the board of a philanthropic foundation, who asked how they should measure impact on climate. I was like well one benchmark will be when I can e-bike back to N PDX from this meeting without the pervasive threat of traffic violence ending my life

drivers should live in total fear of losing their license for distracted driving, and being charged for assault or murder for hitting people. instead they know they can watch tv and run over a human being and prob it’s ok if they act sad about it

Botanical garden on Willamette River would come with new section of NP Greenway path Suddenly, the NP Greenway path has momentum!

Yeah if we can’t go inside I’m not boosting

"It's a combination of speed, weight and distraction."

So true. I'd just add: the ascent in influence—from the lowest rung on the proverbial ladder of engagement to the many of the most powerful organizational roles in the city—is much flatter than many tend to assume. But the catch, and the key, is to engage consistently and as part of an organization.

If you haven't already started, do it the other way around. I signed up to qobuz and they gave me a free, one-use code for Soundiiz to let me transfer my music.

Since I lost my old job and started this one my rent now takes 60% of my income. With utilities, gas, and the phone bill I’m at 90% before I’ve even fed myself and the cat. They’re squeezing us dry out here.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM

I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop.

PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

That’s what happens when you know your opponent’s 50 year strategy for minority rule but don’t do anything about it except complain
