Business in downtown Portland is driven by the taco trucks selling em for $2.50 and halal carts selling gyros for under $10

Some people think urbanism is all about making cities more walkable but it’s not Urbanism is about making cities better places to live. Which means improving the amenities and resources people have access to as well as making sure people of all walks of life can afford to live in our cities.

conservative urbanist is an oxymoron If you aren’t going to accept people of all backgrounds in your city then you’re not going to make your city a good place to live.

Mamdani’s win did not happen *to* us. Lots of people worked *really hard* to make it happen. If you are curious & live in Portland, our next General Meeting on Sunday looks pretty juicy & is open to the public: actionnetwork.org/events/portl...

Just took the brand new automated high speed subway to Times Square today.

We are so back WOKE SOCIALISM IS BACK ON THE MENU LETS GOOOOO!

Coolest Portland ribbon cutting in a hot minute. Would you believe it was initiated pre-pandemic?

Trump is starting another imperialist war of aggression in Venezuela. That’ll cost Americans trillions and will kill thousands. AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!

The people who claim transit is dangerous are the same people who cut off 3 lanes of traffic than park in the bike lane.

I fucking hate when I see micro influencers spread dehumanizing rhetoric about homeless people. These people are your neighbors. Have some god damn humanity.

Money for public transit? Nah! Let’s give it to a foreign nation!

Americans are so carbrained that the idea of changing street space to not serve only cars is an attack on their freedom of movement. www.planetizen.com/news/2025/10...

TriMet will be continuing to debate taking out bus lanes from the 82nd FX project. There’s a community advisory committee meeting later this evening If you can’t make it let them know you want bus lanes [email protected]

Love that small business owners who don’t look at data can determine our road layouts!

“But where will people park?” But instead of complaining about less car parking it’s me worrying about secure bike parking.

The dense mixed use walkable war zone that the right hates

So glad we are defunding transit! Clearly no one is using it!

I’m up to some transit shenanigans today!

Don't forget to vote YES on the parks levy! 🌲🤽‍♀️🗳️

So this happened.

Just want to remind everyone that most car trips in America are under 6 miles. While lacking public transit is an issue, the bigger problem is our atrocious zoning.

There’s this weird myth that just building more housing will lower rents The problem with that line of thinking is that it assumes renters will want to compete with eachother and not collude on rental prices

Who tf is stealing BIKETOWN tires?

Shoutout to everyone in the naked bike ride today! Saw y’all from work!

Im streaming tonight at 4 pacific!

What’s your favorite infrastructure you see when you ride a bike? New video out now! youtu.be/_Mo-YCHv8SI?...

From the Portland neighborhood that every right wing grifter uses for their propaganda. So dangerous that families are walking with their kids! And commuters are heading home from work! Scary stuff!

How did Portland and Minneapolis start getting people to cycle more? Simple! They utilized modal filters and created neighborhood greenways. Not only prioritizing pedestrians and bikes but also reducing rat running on side streets. More cities need modal filters!

We in America are often taught that insane reactionary ideology is just the standard. While most of the time we think of the depraved evil doings of groups like ICE or the lack of social safety nets we have. Car dependency is another one of these reactionary ideals.

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough.

Taking at least 1 trip a day without your car is the least you can do to fight car dependency.

Big reminder that sports teams do not generate enough revenue or create enough good jobs for your city to be shelling out billions on their new stadium.

“A pedestrian plaza? No thanks! I’ll take my shopping center with a Buc-ee’s, Costco and Bass Pro Shop!

I was a tad bit busy today. More stuff coming later this week!

This week from Today the 29th to the 5th is the annual week without driving. It’s a really great experience to see how not driving is in your community and i highly recommend trying it out to see how easy (or how difficult) it is in your community.

Was dodging sniper fire from specialized commando antifa squads to get this photo of the crime train today

Socialism with cascadian characteristics

The St Louis Metrolink Green Line project was just recently cancelled because of the Trump Regime This project would’ve provided a reliable north/south connection bridging a decades old line of segregation and providing more transportation options for people in North St Louis

The USDOT is currently a terrorist organization actively promoting more road violence

Car dependency is an extreme ideology that destroys cities. The moderate position is prioritizing pedestrians,bikes and transit over cars.

Our president is actively opposing all road diet projects Projects that make our streets safer Projects that reconnect and make our communities stronger The right has actively declared war on traditional cities It’s become impossible to satirize how dumb America has become

Happy world car free day everyone! If you’re driving today I wish you many hours stuck in traffic!

We need transit to feel like a premium experience Bogotá in the 90s couldn’t afford trains. So they made the TransMilenio. A Bus Rapid Transit Network

We know that transit is a lot safer than driving no matter how you slice it, and cities built to encourage transit trips see far less people dying on their streets. Making transit faster and more reliable has to be a part of the work to get Portland to zero traffic deaths.

My blanket continues to become more outdated

“Instead of removing a highway we can just put the highway underground and make a boulevard on the surface” This is just “one more lane” but extra steps

I’ve never seen anyone defend an awful highway quite like Chicagoans defend Lake Shore Drive

Cities are for the people that live there! For decades we have designed and destroyed our cities for commuters. We cannot continue to double down on building for people only coming to work in our cities. We have to reorient our cities around those who live and work here!

The Marquam bridge is such an affront to humanity. We need to get rid of it and I-5 on our east bank!
