No, they should channel their anger into getting challengers lined up to primary incumbents who refuse to fight like our futures aren’t on the line.

Let's include this data in Portland's Economic Opportunities Analysis.

It just makes me sick, man

folks, SB 1601 is bad news. from the @portlanddsa.bsky.social ecosocialist working group newsletter, it would result in the following cuts:

Just in time for tomorrow's Oregon Joint Subcomm on Capital Construction, let's oppose the transfer of bicycle tax revenue et al. from the Multimodal Active Transportation Fund to highway maintenance! @ortrailscoalition.bsky.social makes your testimony easy: mailchi.mp/oregontrails... 1/4

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!

Oregon Trails Coalition is urging its members to contact legislators and say "no" bikeportland.org/2026/03/02/b...

We seem to have collectively decided, gradually and mostly out of apathy, that presidents can launch flagrantly unconstitutional wars of choice without congressional approval and there just won’t be any consequences. Would be nice if this is where we start reversing the trend.

Congress must immediately reconvene to vote on a War Powers Resolution and end Trump’s reckless, unilateral march toward another endless war. The American people must also be LOUD in their opposition. The public wants peace, not more chaos abroad. Your voice is powerful.

If you're thinking about running for Portland City Council in D3 and you believe in legalizing more housing, creating diverse, welcoming, walkable neighborhoods, fighting freeway expansion, protecting important programs like Preschool for All... give primarying Senator Taylor a thought instead.

Portland OR is low key the best food city in the country. The amount of delicious food available here on a per capita basis is unmatched anywhere else I've ever been.

Inner Eastside for All only wants one thing and it's disgusting

New meta-analysis of 26 published studies concludes that AVs will lead people to use cars a lot more — which would thicken congestion and worsen pollution (even if AVs are electric). "AV deployment is anticipated to lead to an overall increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled." doi.org/10.1016/j.tb...

Mayor Wilson: "Portland has a downtown like no other." I am begging Portlanders to leave the state and visit other places every once in a while. Downtown CAN be great, but this kind of statement makes me worried that we are not going to think big enough. www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/02...

🚍 ACTION ALERT! 🚍 82nd Avenue is East Portland's Main Street, and our community deserves frequent and reliable transit. Join me and Representative Thuy Tran in asking the legislature to fund full Business Access and Transit Lanes on 82nd Avenue: #orleg #orpol actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

Chocolate Jell-o pudding in an Oreo pie crust

Or maybe we move the CEI hub so there isn't a major environmental disaster in the first place?

latest reporting from the oregonian kind of backs up my suspicion that we aren’t thinking enough about the opportunity cost of datacenter incentives www.oregonlive.com/silicon-fore...

The Supreme Court:

If you follow transportation reform, you should attend one of these open houses! Councilor Clark shouted it out at a big event last night. Expect an outsized neighborhood association presence, saying alternate modes don’t matter and driving should be free. D4 event is tomorrow night!

also can't emphasize enough that we're doing an 82nd avenue project in the first place because of how badly ODOT mismanaged 82nd, and now we're talking about removing BAT lanes near SE powell because of how badly ODOT is mismanaging powell as well. a jurisdictional transfer can't come soon enough

I'm mostly concerned about the additional VMT imparted by the cost and ease of its use, and the shift in infrastructure investment and development encouraged by that change. I'm not sure the city is up to managing that challenge, let alone the state.

In a statement to BikePortland this morning, Councilor Mitch Green called a bill in the legislature that aims to preempt local regulation of robotaxis, "appalling." bikeportland.org/2026/02/05/a...

Hello wonderful neighbors! Our next happy hour is TOMORROW, February 5th at Migration brewing on Williams from 6-8PM! We are excited to announce that we will be joined by members of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability who are working on the Central City Code Amendments project!

Bill in the OR legislature to prevent local governments from regulating or taxing autonomous vehicles, sponsored by Rep McLain, Sen Meek. olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M... @councilorgreen.bsky.social @taylorgriggs.bsky.social

I'm at a legislative town hall, and Sen. Frederick is still gung ho about IBR despite the ballooning costs. Rep. Sanchez voted for bonding for the project but supposedly wasn't happy about it. 🙄

Tomorrow! Emergency protest in solidarity with Minneapolis and in memory of Alex Pretti, murdered by ICE/CBP! 3pm Salmon Street Springs.

It took me 5m to call 2 senators & leave a voicemail saying they should oppose any bill that would appropriate money for the extrajudicial killing of Americans (this appropriations bill is like a week away fyi)

ODOT’s budget is fucked. They could either stop spending hundreds of millions on a doomed freeway expansion that is billions of dollars away from completion or raid the $15m a year program for sidewalks near elementary schools. Guess which Dems are choosing #orpol bikeportland.org/2026/01/22/l...

They're arresting kids who need medical care in Oregon.

ICE must be abolished. The work of our time is to tear down the system that built it and remake it into one that embraces and designs systems that include all people from all places. This work will be done, because the alternative is unbearable.

ICE needs to be taken apart, brick by brick, and we need to salt the earth.

"The estimated price tag more than doubled from $6 billion to $13.6 billion, but staff told a bistate panel Dec. 15 it didn’t have new numbers."

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

No War for Oil! US out of Venezuela! Rally today SW 10th and Burnside 3:30 pm

Have you called your reps yet?

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Hoping @tinakotek.bsky.social sees this

Meanwhile, in Oregon (which also had a rare, hard to get congestion pricing permit from feds) ODOT failed so hard at standing up the pgm that the governor had it banned it in statute. High taxes are a scapegoat for OR's stagnation: the real problem is bad governance and the uncertainty it begets.

Given that we just experienced major landslides in the state that have taken important state routes out of service, and that we have more or less defunded important transit networks, I will be interested in supporting any primary challengers willing to fight for the transportation funding we deserve

Centrist Dems have enabled austerity by ceding ground to reactionaries in the state legislature, and we're worse off for it. If you have a plan to win and a vision for a budget that invests in our communities by actually taxing those with the ability to pay, then let's talk about your campaign.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Look at the central city riverfront of Portland. It's just so shocking and embarrassing that we tolerate this.

things have become so dire at odot re: funding that we now legit have a shot at defunding this terrible stupid freeway expansion we've been fighting for over eight years. now's your chance - send an email to the oregon transportation commission. No More Freeways made it easy - deadline is tuesday

Action Alert! Join No More Freeways in demanding that the Oregon Transportation Commission vote to redirect Rose Quarter Freeway Expansion funding to serve ODOT's myriad other needs. Testimony due by Tuesday - RT and help us spread the word! www.nomorefreewayspdx.com/option3

we're officially entering a very scary time for portland transit. the cuts this year and next year won't be the end, and the combination of rising fares and falling service levels are going to mark the end of our fragile post-covid ridership recovery www.opb.org/article/2025...
