Hey anybody know what the replacement trees in firland parkway on 72nd are? They have flowers!!

My hometown had a fort built by the Spanish to guard the bay that we’d visited often and whenever I’d see busses there from other school districts I’d ask didn’t they have their own fort? And when told no I’d ask what they were supposed to do if Francis Drake came back??

A very happy Saturday to all my fellow portland gardeners 🌻

New Oldsmobiles are in early this year

One was a B-25 navigator, the other was a PBY gunner

Such a breath of fresh air this evening to see all the posts from Portland gardeners emerging from hibernation

I thought they might keep it until Monday, but I wrote something about this today.

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.

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

Last month, we celebrated our one year anniversary at our new home, The Susan Hammer Center, located on 716 SE Grand Avenue! Thank you @publisherswkly.bsky.social for the shout out. #literaryarts #pdx

This a fantastic organization run by fantastic people and they deserve all of our love and support

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

If your children got tear gassed today I want to hear from you, even if you don’t live in my district. You can contact my office at [email protected]

Second this and also add Woodstock Hardware. They meet you inside the door, find whatever you’re looking for, and give very knowledgeable advice

Ive been thinking about the Basque Space Program a lot recently for some reason….

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.

Whenever I attend any sort of public meeting or forum around here I’m always awed by how many knowledgeable, thoughtful, and civic-minded people we have in our midst and just gobsmacked that we can’t get anyone worth a crap to run for governor (or mayor)

Ok we’re ready!

TriMet announced their proposal for service cuts to address their budget shortfall. The proposed cuts could have major impacts on accessing medical facilities, as well as worsening already poor north-south transit options. TriMet is looking for feedback. Head to trimet.org/servicecuts to share.
