@palkyrie.bsky.social ok to dm?

Was she fired? I looked her up on the ODOT site and they still had her listed as R1 coordinator.

@genderlessrodent.bsky.social is it ok if I dm you?

She is not in charge of housing the homeless, not sure where you got that from, but she is certainly leading on the issue and I’m grateful for it. If you’re calling her a mean girl, which doesn’t make any sense but raises the question: what are you doing exactly, being nice?

This is actually a great description of your behavior on this platform.

Nobody is upset, just making some observations. Everyone except Novick has some SM presence. Even the moderates who coddle the city’s biggest haters.

We have some small blueberry bushes but the season is limited, my favorite berry 😊

Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choices—political, economic, moral—that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

Need to get into big white beans, good call. Kind of digging the cozy rhythm of making dry beans weekly

Who all is working on upping their fiber intake lately. High fiber diet is linked with risk reductions in several types of cancer. Trying to get more into lentils and cabbage. These berries are not cheap.

Antifa is not a group; the president cannot designate domestic terror groups.

My @brennancenter.org colleague @faizapatel.bsky.social is out today with a deep review of NSPM-7. It is a dangerous directive that will facilitate predatory politics-based targeting: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

ODOT employee taken off Vision Zero Task Force following Twitter rant A series of tweets last week by a State of Oregon employee has led to her removal from a City of Portland task force. Following her participation in a Portland Bureau of Transportation Vision Zero e...

Putting aside the absurdity of your takeaway, now that you mentioned it: Do *you* have respect for people with disabilities? I see you don't use alt text when you post images, which leads me to believe you don't.

Kevin Dahlgren, prominent critic of Portland area homeless services, admits to stealing from one of them He pleaded guilty to first-degree theft, aggravated identity theft, and first-degree official misconduct Tuesday afternoon.

Interesting. It was part of his plea deal to pay in 90 days, were you able to verify he didn't pay? www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

Trimet understands this. We need to convince our state legislators to fully fund Trimet operations so they can increase frequency. As it stands we are due for service cuts in the near future, and a larger Trimet fiscal cliff in 2027 with potentially steeper cuts.

A teacher exiting an Uber at the time started to take this video when she heard the children screaming.

The incident occurred at West Loop Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois.

"My name is Jocelyn, I'm from Cicero," she cries. "They forced us out of the car, they followed us... they don't have a warrant."

Both Jocelyn and her sister, who was driving the car, are DACA recipients—and were eventually released after they were finally allowed to prove their legal status.

ICE agents smash car window, drag out and arrest two DACA recipients in front of West Loop Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois at pickup time.

I kind of, sort of, understand some of those earlier afternoon games on weekdays during the regular season. Come playoffs all of these games should be prime time, wtf.

He's quick to chastise younger councilors for things he doesn't understand or find important, but I've never heard why he doesn't do it. In his last term he used to write five thousand word essays about niche topics for his council blog.

Hard to imagine any of the previous council doing well in this moment. The one who we still have around is not helping their rep.

Interesting that Novick has zero social media game or presence.

Impeccable timing

Portlanders will not be cowed by this administration. When undignitaries like Kristi Noem visit for their photo ops and get mocked by people in animal costumes it’s because that’s the level of respect they deserve. Doing the work of mass deportation is the least honorable thing a person can do.

bummer! will keep an eye out

it rains all the time. you can’t even golf, folks. it’s terrible. the pizza kat was very nasty to me. the frog is stealing valor from my frog people. and…stephen, why are there three parentheses around phil knight in the script?

Wait.. is there more to this story cause 👀☕

The arrogance of these aggrieved business owners who make it their whole personality to shit on Portland is something else. I love how Ryan has a whole "storefront business owners" class of people he constantly refers to as needing special considerations and injects it into every conversation.

"When all of your social security money goes out to your rent, you don't have much money left for doing anything. Everything is just so expensive." - Steve D., Portland sailboat resident.

It's also incredibly dangerous that we have business lobbying groups, some city councilors like Dan Ryan and Eric Zimmerman, alongside local media perpetuating this drivel.

If/once the fed threats end, we can expect them to crank up the whine machine again.
