The Trump administration is appealing a recent order by a federal judge in Oregon that restricts the use of tear gas and other chemical munitions near the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.

Call to action! One reason why the NW District Association elections are important is because some of the CEI Hub oil tank farms are located inside the NW District. #SafetyFirst #ClimateJustice

Did you know that the North Reach of the Willamette River is longer than the Central and South Reaches combined?

Don't you think the top 10 property owners in the Willamette River North Reach can provide more public access and protect endangered species like salmon?

This an oil depot in Oman, but this type of terrifying destruction is what many people worry about with the CEI fuel storage hub in NW PDX, fossil fuel infrastructure is inherently brittle and vulnerable

Portland needs a park-ipelago in the Willamette River. all-things-nordic.com/2026/03/05/d...

We don't need more industrial land in Portland. We need to use it more efficiently and effectively. Thanks to Micah Meskel at Bird Alliance of Oregon! @birdallianceoregon.bsky.social

Are folks seeing the videos of oil infrastructure being attacked and the aftermath of fires, smoke, & toxics decimating nearby populations? That's what Portland is going to look like (& maybe worse) if there's an earthquake of sufficient size that spills / ignites the fuels stored at the CEI Hub.

Do you agree with us that the Willamette River's North Reach should have as much open space and parks as the South Reach?

We spent the afternoon in St. Johns talking about the Portland River Plan at Naan n Curry and Two Stroke Coffee. We didn't take photos because we were enjoying our non-screen activities.

River communities who live in N, NE, and NW Portland deserve public access to a clean river. We envision thriving neighborhoods with arts, culture, safe cycling, safe walking, and vibrant non-industrial businesses. Do you agree?

Even though we just recovered from a marathon Portland Planning Commission work session on the CEI Hub, just one spot on the river, we end each day thinking about the big picture. Do you want to live in a city where 60% of the Willamette River greenway land is zoned industrial? We don't!

We're live skeeting the Portland Planning Commission work session on the dangerous CEI Hub. Hold tight there are twenty amendments that will be debated and voted on! First amendments up are #1 and #3...

Dear Mayor Wilson & City Councilors, please fund safety measures for children, elders, and people with disabilities, who live and work within two miles of the the CEI Hub. We are especially concerned for the children at ABC University Preschool inside the CEI Hub.

That goes DOUBLE for men who feel entitled to force an interaction.

City and county shelters underserve homeless Portlanders of color, a Multnomah County report shows. Responses from Mayor Keith Wilson’s office voiced concern, but took issue with some of the county’s data points.

Can someone in our river community answer Malena's question? @seachanger.bsky.social

We are disappointed that many Portland Planning Commissioners suggested that we should expand fuel storage at the CEI Hub. Yes, you read that correctly. Why?. 🧵 1 of 2

Shame on Portland City Administrator Raymond Lee. At an employee town hall, he said, “We are committed" to keeping the Macadam ICE facility open. Excellent reporting by kevinhfoster.bsky.social. substack.com/home/post/p-...

You've been waiting your whole life to learn a little about "renewable" naptha in the CEI Hub, right? All hazardous materials like "renewable" naptha should be regulated. Renewable fuels can explode, cause fires, and spill into the Willamette River. Yes to facts! No to greenwashing!

If you want to get into the weeds with us about increasing safety at the CEI Hub, then this is the thread for you. Some vocal Portland Planning Commissioners have been focused on geotechnical solutions while it is clear from experts that while these are necessary, they are not enough. 🧵 1/4

Ask us anything about Portland's Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub aka CEI Hub. It's the most dangerous place in our city and the largest heat island.

We are proficient jugglers at Braided River Campaign. We are watchdogs too. We're especially interested in City of Portland's renewable fuels standards. It's a complicated, yet critical subject. We're gonna try to make it interesting for you.
