My team at work is so great. Just constantly think about them and how impossible this work would be without them, and their humor and their wisdom. I’m so lucky to always find good people.

The thing I was pointing out was that people are using her age to say she’s frail and defenseless to make his action seem more egregious.

I’m gonna be honest though this is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel for controversy, our country is at war. So I’m personally moving on

Y’all realize that for all the proxy reasons the moderates & conservatives were advancing during city council President election, the real reason they wouldn’t budge for Kanal is that the PBA/PMC’s #1 goal is preventing the DSA from governing.

It’s an ideological red line.

But they’ll endorse MAGA

Trail Blazers to Portland: Public cash ‘only solution’ for renovating Moda Center Public records obtained by OPB suggest the scope of the Blazers’ campaign to get Portland leaders to fund the Moda Center renovations.

Public records obtained by OPB suggest the scope of the Blazers’ campaign for public funds to pay for Moda renovations.

From a staff trip to North Carolina, to implicit threats to relocate the team, to nudging from Nike’s CEO, the documents pull back the curtain on months of private talks:

TriMet 19 Bus Line Likely Saved from Cost Cuts At the beginning of the year, TriMet announced a series of proposed cost-cutting measures planned for August and asked for rider feedback via an online survey. Those early cost-saving adjustments would have eliminated the Line 19 Bus route, among other reductions, and its closure would have ended NE Glisan Street’s century-long run as Montavilla’s transit backbone. The transit provider updates its proposal with a partially restored Line 19 route that will retain most of the existing path from the Gateway Transit Center to Downtown Portland.

I’m outraged and heartsick that someone attacked a synagogue in Michigan, and I’m outraged and heartsick that the IDF dropped charges against Israeli soldiers who we know sexually assaulted Palestinian detainees, and I’m outraged and heartsick that some will suggest one of these mitigates the other.

Well he cosponsored the resolution and wrote it with me so it’s easier to track but yeah

This is disgusting.

At a time when our trans siblings are under attack, organizations have to draw lines in the sand whether it profits them or not.

This is the bare minimum.

I'm in the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition training for Migra Watch. Over 300 people volunteering their time to learn how to protect their neighbors. I see an old mustachioed gentleman taking notes about how to report ICE activity 🥹 we're gonna win y'all

Mamdani is considering ending free street parking in NYC. This would be another huge boost to NYC residents' quality of life, reducing traffic in ways that would be comparable to congestion pricing. And it would be another step in ending suburban free-riding on NYC.

Staying out of the discourse because

Did she write that she was 95 years old?

It was a 24 hour Instagram story. If anything the article publicly displayed the interaction more.

There are just truly more important things.

My TikTok comments show people from other countries saying their news reports say American soldier deaths are MUCH higher than we are being reported to

Scary how our corporate media system was already corrupt and now it’s even harder to trust because so much of it was replaced with Trump’s cronies

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work - Bolts Years after voters amended the state's constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards "compel and coerce" work.

When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished.

She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted.

A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.

Doxxing implies he posted her address. Which would be shitty for sure.

People are dying Kim is a meme from the Kardashians when Kim dropped her diamond earring in the ocean and cried and her sister replied “people are dying Kim” to show her there are bigger issues

You said that if someone saw this from a DSA person (which Jamie is not) they would quit the whole movement.

I said that if this turns someone off to the whole movement they were never really invested. They were looking for an excuse to say it’s bad.

He didn’t doxx her. He didn’t know her age. It was an Instagram story that disappears in 24 hours.

The internet loves discussions of moral outrage but this is very much a “there are people dying Kim” moment.

I didn’t demand your agreement or allegiance I just disagreed with you lol this is just not that serious we have bigger fish to fry my friend

Projection is strong with this one

He didn’t ask me to, I just thought it was amusing what passes for a serious news story from our paper of record more than anything

Well Jamie isn’t DSA.
If a whole political movement is upended for you because someone doesn’t want their body critiqued I think you just don’t care about the political movement that much

You don’t really know the age of people who write you letters lol

And the thing that’s funny here is acting like this is a serious news story

oh FUCK yes

thank you, @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social!

Love the tattoos @jamiedunphy.bsky.social !

It’s “keep Portland weird” not “keep Portland beige”

Whenever council spends five hours on one simple amendment, I always think that it’s annoying, but when democracy falls I will look back fondly at these times lol

See this is why we’re friends 😂

Who wore it better

Sorry I forget hyperbole is unknown to the general public, but there are lots of convos that don’t happen on the dais. Private conversations where councilors direct quoted the race baiting stuff did happen, and it sounded a lot like the rhetoric I read in those texts. Do with that what you will.

This is cruel and unusual punishment.

Do the other constituents work for organization coalitions that endorse people and can punish by denying endorsements? 🤔

The rule already exists. We’re not supposed to talk city policy on personal phones and devices. It’s very simple.
