Here for a good time, not a long time. Portland policy + politics, (inter)national urban affairs. Blazers, beer + spirits, support the arts, abolish ice. [he/they]

In case you're curious what your DA is doing instead of standing with the community who got viciously tear gassed by ICE this weekend:
1. Covered trial call for a photo op;
2. Prosecuting a misdo resist claim against an
ICE protester to run cover for the PPB cop who broke that protester's arm.

Trail Blazers’ future in Portland less clear than ever as arena efforts meet resistance | Bill Oram The team is trying to secure $600 million in funding from the city, state and Multnomah County before the end of the legislature's 35-day session.

"The city’s contribution, which multiple sources told The Oregonian/OregonLive has the support of Mayor Keith Wilson and City Council President Jamie Dunphy, would primarily be through the city’s Clean Energy Fund."

🀨 We're going to have the best heat pump in the league ig.

A frustrating thing is he barely campaigned. He coasted while happily accepting the police endorsement and won easily.

Fair. I also suspect a BRT could beat the MAX into and through the city.

Perhaps this part:

"The closure comes six months after Keurig Dr Pepper announced plans to purchase JDE Peet’s, the parent company of Peet’s Coffee and Stumptown, for roughly $18 billion."

Stumptown hasn't been Portland-owned for many years.

Light rail to Vancouver is cool, my personal dream is an FX-6 BRT from Downtown Vancouver to Downtown Portland that follows an MLK alignment. #trimet

> Agents smashed her window and pulled her out of the car, according to the union and HernΓ‘ndez. They threw her to the ground and then emptied her purse, the union statement said. When they saw her passport, they just left, leaving her in need of medical attention, according to the union officials.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I see, so it's the turf that is the deal breaker?

Are you suggesting we build a new stadium? My understanding is beyond the turf issue, Providence does not have the capacity for their criteria.

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: β€˜A smear campaign’ Immigration officials said agent shot two β€˜vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

> Court records reveal a DOJ prosecutor contradicted DHS’ Tren de Aragua statements telling a judge, β€œWe’re not suggesting [NiΓ±o-Moncada] is a gang member.” An FBI affidavit suggests in the previous shooting cited, Zambrano-Contreras was not a suspect, but rather a reported victim of SA and robbery.
