This was genuinely AWESOME. I'm so proud of these parkrose business owners who want to find solutions that support our businesses and our unhoused community 🙏🏾💕

You're right!

You know when you think of the perfect comeback hours after an argument?

Being a city councilor is just constantly thinking “damn I should’ve said THAT on the dais” 😭😂

It's hard to rejoice something like Kristi Noem "getting fired" when she's just failing upward into a new job and the dude replacing her will be no different and most likely will be worse.

Hooray, I guess.

I will not celebrate truly until they're all gone!!!

I can't wait to be home on Friday 😭 I'm gonna need that night sleeping under the cloud ceiling to prepare mentally for the city council strategic vision retreat on Saturday morning 😵‍💫😂

oh no the drafts folder is filling up 😂

To East Portland: I am disappointed that we couldn't get these dollars out the door. As the daughter of immigrants and the representative of Portland's largest and most diverse immigrant communities, this has been a deeply personal process for me.

I've decided that I simply must find an Alyssa Liu raccoon hair wig 😤🤪 but with PINK 🩷

Grateful for the community that keeps showing up and fighting for each other in City Hall. I know it’s not always easy and our lived experiences aren’t always given the benefit of the doubt. But know this: you have people on the inside fighting for you too. 🫶🏾 Love you Portland. Keep fighting. ✊🏾

How to win in November

I am incredibly tired with the double standards that continued to get deployed against councilors who attempt to represent their constituents and propose policy changes accordingly.

THIS IS DISGUSTING. War is not a ******* game!!!!!!!!!

😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

Turns out opposing racist and violent fascism is popular! 🙃

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

BREAKING: Senator Blumenthal states Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran.

Boots on the ground.

A reminder that him & Netanyahu will not send their sons, but they expect your sons and daughters to go die for them so they can stay out of prison. Are we great yet?🤔

Wait I kinda love this room!? I'm so down to help you design it and make it a reality lmaoooo 😩😭😂

Oops, I forgot I’m a politician posting on a political platform 😂

Ok, here's my take: we all navigate imperfect systems under global capitalism every day & draw our own lines about what to avoid. Sometimes I’m just enjoying a corner of the internet while… *gestures at everything*

Perspective y'all

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Tomorrow: Join us for a town hall to learn more about the proposed Parkrose ESD, hosted by Councilor Avalos and Historic Parkrose! Local Parkrose business owners are strongly encouraged to offer their feedback and community members are welcome to attend.

In the most millennial cringe confession ever: I now understand why the youth like TikTok 🤣👵🏾

I've been on it in the last few months, watching and making videos, and it's a vibe over there 🤪

This week is emotional for many reasons. But the biggest? I get to move back into my home on Friday. 😭🏡

Six months of instability has taken a real toll on my health. 😵‍💫 And I had support!

This is why I fight so hard for housing as a human right. We ALL deserve a stable roof over our heads!!! 🫶🏾✊🏾

You can see the corporate stooges salivating over the possibility that their 6+ year plan to raid PCEF might finally bear fruit.

Anyway, if you think we should use the climate justice fund for climate justice, you should speak up!

forreal bc what is wrong with y'all 🤣

My amendment to restore a $15 million PCEF investment in affordable housing was approved! That means we’re on the path to: Create 586 additional housing units. House close to ~1,700 people. Support a pipeline of affordable multifamily projects.

Thank you to my colleagues for overwhelmingly supporting my amendment to restore a $15 million PCEF investment in affordable housing.

This George Floyd resolution is a commemorative resolution.

It’s about memory. It’s about naming what happened and putting on the public record that his murder sparked a global movement for racial justice in four cities, including Portland, to reckon with police accountability and systemic racism.
