WA and OR have not gone after the GOP bastions in the eastern half of either state. There is a case to be made, they are shrinking in population for a wide range of reason. Start carving into MAGAt turf, using their loss vs the gain of pop centers like Portland and Vancouver.

I really don’t understand why we have to prove, over and over again, that giving people money helps them get off the streets. Why can’t we make this a policy everywhere? (If you’re going to say $$, I’d say tax the wealthy)

1) NYC, Chicago, DC & Portland are NOT listed in this 7/23/2025 report by Safe & Sound Security’s assessment of the 20 most dangerous cities in America. They’re listed here in descending order: Memphis, St. Louis, Little Rock, Minneapolis, Detroit, Kansas City, New Orleans, Cleveland. Birmingham,

Our community is devastated by the loss of of Grey Wolfe, a pedestrian using Cesar Chavez boulevard. Last budget cycle I tried to bring an amendment to fund improvements to this road. My office is working to find funding for safety improvements again. This can’t be the norm anywhere in Portland.

Now having seen the simplicity of making friends with crows, I think we in the #pacificnorthwest should train our crows to come and get dog treats every time we blow our #ice whistles, so that when something is going down the agents are unnerved by the sudden, ominous appearance of a murder of […]

Autogolpe seems much less likely now than before recent elections and Portland, thanks to heroic efforts of American patriots. Serious political analysts like Sargent seem to agree with that view. 2/2

Gift link. While I think there are all kinds of potentially great policies like Rent Control & DEI & small-biz grants, it sometimes makes me feel oogie when gov't entities get too-too involved in real estate. www.oregonlive.com/education/20...

A competing firm is protesting the award, which a former school board member alleged is "a heist of unprecedented size."

National guard shooting suspect spent ‘weeks on end’ in isolation, emails show

“This will result in more lives on the streets and leaves service providers maxed out on ways to help.”

Multnomah County’s public housing authority, Home Forward, will be cutting staff and rolling back services next month as it faces a $35 million budget shortfall.

Wow. Woman ordered $158.36 of wool from a Canadian retailer, and somehow was charged $333 in duties. Yes, double the value.

bike lanes that are angled going into an intersection so riders can cross streetcar tracks at a perpendicular angle are one of my favorite portland bike facility features

Breaking: Costco is suing Donald Trump for his tariffs, declaring them illegal and demanding a “full refund” for raising prices nationwide.

Portland Mayor acting like Martin v. Boise wasn't overturned, insists on counting shelter beds yet to come online. Quality coverage here, per usual, from @alexzee.bsky.social.

Trump falsely claimed Portland was a “war zone”, attempting to justify his illegal order for soldiers to harass peaceful citizens. Authoritarian playbook: create a crisis then claim that "he’s the only one who can fix it". Share the truth. app.sosha.ai/s/lxPx3YNM

B-line does that in Portland! 😊 A full truck drops things off at a warehouse, and then the cargo bikes take over. It means fewer big trucks maneuvering through 19th century streets, having to find parking, and blocking visibility outside of storefronts.

87-year-old woman identified as pedestrian killed in SE Portland www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Here's the same data with another section added showing the percentage of total deaths for people using each of the transportation modes involved in the fatal crashes. Good: crash deaths are down. Bad: it's getting safer to be in a car and less safe to be a pedestrian when there's a fatal crash.

These cuts come after the agency laid off 26 employees earlier this month as part of a larger plan to help reduce spending. https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/first-phase-of-trimet-service-cuts-take-effect-in-portland-metro-area/?cid=bluesky_ 

Since 2006, Urban Gleaners has been collecting fresh food from restaurants, farms and events that would otherwise be thrown away and redistributing it to people in need.

1/Yet of course there is now an effort in Portland to repeat this "failed costly experiment." It would take 2% of the general fund budget- $16 million, & allow a small fraction of Portland residents to decide how to spend it!Hardly participatory or democratic! www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit...

it also seems like the anti governance wing of portland politics (the oregonian; pdxreal; various cranky conservatives) turned the staffing issue into a Controversy and spooked some of the councilors

Lots of reasons, stated and unstated. My takes: 1) the old council (wrongly) left key decisions to the new council, 2) the new council wasn't properly onboarded to know that they were short-staffed, 3) a tight budget and inexperienced council, and 4) years of How Things Are Done in Portland inertia.

Portland should elect people who will direct PBOT to put transit and micromobility clearly and confidently above planning for parking and cars. we could be the one place in the US that turns away from the violence, isolation, and frustration of the automobile

Amazon-Ring-Flock partnership brings facial recognition EVERYWHERE youtu.be/aeXIgKuX_zY?... #facialRecognition #surveillance #privacy #flock #ring

A fitting moment to bring back this old transit meme. However they’re powered—gas, hydrogen, electricity, or driverless—leaning on cars instead of investing in quality public transit is still a poor long-term strategy.

This is the drug lord that Donald Trump is pardoning, according to a tweet he just put out.

Closing the airspace over a foreign country is a de facto declaration of war but we’ve pushed so far into “let’s conspicuously underreact so everyone knows we’re savvy people not overreacting to Trump” that his de facto declaration of war is literally not even being reported on the news
