I am SEETHING with envy at this moment

Sexually frustrated men are so dangerous, especially in politics and especially when they're talking to/about someone they disagree with

Sometimes being Mexican means being 5th generation on one side and being 2nd generation on another. The stuff gets spicy when your mom has bad taste in men so you're bio dad sucks

Finding out that the Portland frog is Mexican has made my day "I've tasted spicier. I'm Mexican, what do you expect?"

The vibe is: "I'm frustrated that you're late, but I'm so happy you're here." The tricky part is to figure out who's *actually* here to stay. But that's part of building community, too.

I’m. So. Tired. I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Amidst everything going on with Trump's attack on the cities like Portland, I don't want to miss the very important and urgent need to condemn Israel's interception of the Sumud Flotilla and call for the immediate release of Paul Reid and Stephen Wahab, two Portlanders held hostage.

I know nothing about Dan Rayfield except that @wilsonxcassie.bsky.social likes him. Therefore, I like Dan Rayfield

Liberals and Democrats will call for "funding local police" as a way to solve the problem of DHS/ ICE and no one will think about the fact that this is how we got here.

Important PSA for Portland. 🚨 Do NOT feed the Gestapo. They don’t get to enjoy our city while attacking it.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

"They pepper sprayed the twerking frog at the ICE facility" Is both an absurd thing to say but also a violently cruel reality

“we heard tale of expanding the tent”

I will never get over being accused of being a @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social sock puppet account. Not just because I'm easy to find on the Internet but because my aesthetic is so wildly different than hers that if we were in the same room, it would look like costuming for a sun and moon photoshoot

One of the great non issue bummers, to me, about Portland politics is that.... in spite of everyone complaining about how many polyamorous people live in Portland we have no Out polyamorous politicians!!! We need to do better, Portland deserves real representation

The average Oregonian makes $68K a year. It would take nearly 15,000 years for us to make $1 billion. Billionaires aren’t billionaires because they work hard. They’re billionaires because WE work hard.

I hate being a SoCal transplant in Portland. Seeing the nation get a few glimpses of our least desirable politicians and suddenly fangirl is so annoying. Stop fawning over Gavin Newsom and Janelle Bynum

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

I'm kinda dumbfounded by this and the apparent attempt at...... masquerading as black bloc??? Just to hop in the truck?

Just as a reminder that tactical frivolity is a valid form of non violent protesting and that people in Portland are *very* aware of the dangers of our current administration. People were literally kidnapped off the streets in 2020, Portland knows what fascism looks like

"Portlanders see through your bullshit" Says the candidate that lost....to the city councilors that beat them in that election 🤔

My coworker jokingly called me a parole officer and I fear he is too old and too non political to understand the emotional and mental damage he has done to me

Two things can be true at once; I am absolutely livid at a lot of the choices that Tina Kotek has made politically I am also relieved that Christine Drazen is not our governor right now oh my God

Begging drivers to actually be aware when they're at a stop sign. Twice today I was in Uncomfortable Situations where I clearly had the right of way and the driver should have not moved from their stop sign, please for the love of God those signs aren't only to check for cars it's also for bikes

I love living in my neighborhood but if I ever crash out I'm tearing down all these ugly hostile architecture chain link fences

Rainy season means it's time to pull out the water proof eyeliner

One of the perks of being a former evangelical(and ex Catholic) is that I know enough Bible verses to give a rather decent insult to Bible thumpers

In and out of meetings with incredible organizers all day long and Portland, we didn't ask for it, but we are ready for this. Stay connected. Stay calm. Plug in. Trump is going to find out Portland is not to be fucked with for the second time.

It was a long shot attempt but I am annoyed that I can't buy MSG at Safeway

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Assata Shakur

What we saw in Vienna is a city where housing is treated as a human right rather than a means to make profit. In Tuesday’s Homelessness and Housing Committee, @councilordunphy.bsky.social, @councilorgreen.bsky.social, and I shared some of our takeaways from the trip.

Things I've seen on the bus: Babies cooing at one another from their respective strollers A Youth™ holding a bouquet and waving at their partner through the window A homeless man delicately tending to his partner's hair as they slept A foster parent explaining the bus route to their kid

Low key, the Democrats really missed out the opportunity to submit legislation for universal mental health by spinning Charlie Kirk's death as part of a bigger mental health crisis. Call it the Charlie Kirk law and everything

And they hide their faces so they can remain unaccountable.

Me: oh I could never run for an electoral position, I'm just a college drop out who reads a lot A personal trainer/nutritionist/podcaster: imma run for city council The dunning kruger effect is REAL

Shout out to the person with the ouija board bag walking onto Cesar Chavez from Franklin. Yes I told you I liked your bag but still your dope style was much appreciated

Y'all. I'm not even THAT excited about the street food. It's a good idea, it's true! But the amount of pushback for this is going to make ME get a hot dog suit soon, just for shits and giggles

I love my city so much, for all its faults and all my grievances. I fucking love this place and no amount of propaganda can convince me otherwise because I fucking live here. Stay weird, Portland

If I see further than others it is by standing on all of the soapboxes I have for my many strongly held opinions

The majority of my wardrobe is just black clothes, I cannot promise any other variety unless I'm actively performing

Due to a series of events, being sick and binging Call The Midwife has led me to recommend this video about counsel housing youtu.be/jZpLiJdIGbs?...

They keep calling it DHS law enforcement, but this is your reminder that picking up people on the street with no evidence as to their status is not enforcing any law. It is terrorizing people.

Conservatives whenever I do or say anything: “Booo, Comrade Green, booo!” Conservatives when I file an ordinance literally designed to unleash the power of the free market: . . . “Booo, Comrade Green, booooo!”

Hearing that ugly clown horn that lets me know an elotero is in my neighborhood would heal me. Life was best when I rushed barefoot through my neighborhood and was able to walk away with elote

If my antidepressants have taught me anything, it's that I would have been unstoppable if I didn't develop depression in middle school. My will to live is so strong now

As a bisexual, there's a difficult tight rope to walk where I have a constant desire to get nail extensions but then everyone will assume I'm straight unless I make a Specific Nail Choice

Statistically speaking, it is actually rare for people to just have empty homes that they don't do anything with but when you find out someone DOES have a property that they just don't touch for a decade. You do have to sit and process stuff with the world

Spouse: I'm bummed that I don't have the spoons to go with you when you march/ protest Me: don't worry! You're staying home in case I need to get bailed out 🤣

You'd be surprised how many people on the Internet shut up when you ask them to show proof that they're giving testimony on a local level
