I actually don’t think we should victim blame protestors for what the feds are going to do. We’ve seen them do it to perfectly peaceful protestors. People need to be wise, use discretion, and center those most impacted, and I truly detest this rhetoric.

We keep each other safe. If you see ICE or if you know someone who’s been detained, call the PIRC hotline: 1-888-622-1510. Make sure you’re using the CLEAR model (Count, Location, Equipment, Activity, and Report Time) when you call.

It is so sad to come home from a lovely community event focused on resistance and partnerships and building a better world to find out the feds are rolling in. Fuck man.

I formally requested a reasonable accommodation of a reserved accessible parking spot in May 2024 and my building has still failed to provide it despite it being the first accommodation example listed on city documents that are shared with us when we sign our lease www.portland.gov/phb/rental-s...

Today someone asked me if accessibility in my apartment building is decent and I said “yeah it’s alright” and then explained 10 ways it’s not alright

Everyone wants to know if I’ll be at Khanh Pham’s birthday karaoke party but no one wants to know that instead I’ll be at the Metro Future Vision Commission kickoff and the PBOT TSP committee meeting

Anyway very excited to (officially) share that I’m now the Legislative Manager at 1000 Friends! I will still have transportation as my policy focus area but will get to oversee our full legislative strategy and agenda!!

I know my feed is an emotional rollercoaster and that’s just the life of a disabled gen Z community organizer welcome to the ride

Being disabled is so hellish some days hahahahaha

Like why do people who don’t even live here and just make money off me paying rent get to tell me I don’t deserve rights ahhahahaha

My office is looking for a superstar to join our team as a Constituent & Policy Support Student Intern for a 3-month term. The part-time position is open to students currently enrolled in high school, trade school, community college, or a training, undergrad or grad program. Apply by Oct. 1!

It is so embarrassing to sob about your disabled rights being violated while wearing a Judy Heumann shirt and complaining to your leasing office manager who doesn’t give a fuck

Today I: - Had for-profit developers ask why disabled people can’t just live in adaptable housing units instead of already accessible ones - Sobbed uncontrollably about my building refusing to give me a reserved accessible parking spot because now I’m gonna have to get a lawyer

While I encourage folks to engage in the TriMet survey about service cuts, I hope you will keep in mind the transit dependent people whose lives literally depend on the bus that runs just a couple times a day or connecting services TriMet supports. trimet.org/servicecuts/

I wish that in all the reporting about this ridiculous Tylenol stuff journalists didn’t take it as a given that curing autism is a desirable outcome for society. Neurodiversity is good. Desiring homogeneity is a hallmark of eugenics and fascism.

My type is Jess from Gilmore Girls, the Thorns, and men who turn out to be married or gay and then I wonder why I’m single

I grew up so non-religious that I had to google what the rapture was

When Jess flirts w Rory by stealing her book and writing in the margins after pretending he doesn’t read much 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Yes, someone in a hot dog costume just hand-delivered Councilor Green a hot dog before starting today's council chat on sidewalk vending.

excuse you, it’s called a fursuit

So excited to share my newest project: Transit Talks! A video series where we talk about transit on transit. I’ll be interviewing elected and other community leaders on the bus! Follow 1000 Friends on Instagram so you don’t miss out. www.instagram.com/reel/DO9K4Mi...

I truly wish the worst for the Live Nation venue xoxo

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

guess who has strep throat 🤪

This week on my apartment building is poorly managed: - Made a really big deal about dryer vent cleaning but for half of the building they didn’t even need to access our units because it’s simply outside in the courtyard - Made us move our cars out of the garage for painting, then didn’t paint

this is a work of art

I think I’m concluding that I’m not even actually sick and that fall allergies are what’s killing me

Emergency fundraiser update! We officially passed the $100k mark! Over 850 individuals have helped raise $101, 319 for Street Roots, and we're over on third of the way to raising $288,000 by our Sept. 30 deadline. Take action today to protect Street Roots by going to streetroots.org/donate!

Well Oregon formed a workgroup to talk about it

Anyone want my Thorns GA ticket for Saturday?

🚌🌹

Being sick and having to miss fun stuff I’ve looked forward to sucks so much at a time when it takes so much more to refill my cup 😔

A city investigation found land use violations at the ICE facility. Councilor Kanal's thread explains what could happen moving forward 👇

🧵 on the ICE Permit update! My office is also bringing three separate policies to address federal government overreach, and in today’s Work Session with government relations I urged our lobbyists to push our Congressional leaders on federal overreach issues too.

City council does everything in their power to fight ICE and the feds and make actual progress and people are still mad at them because they can’t personally abolish ICE themselves lmao

Despite this news, this evening's city council meeting was just put on pause after anti-ICE protesters interrupted.

UPDATE: Any Oregonian who wants COVID-19 vaccine can get it, state says. buff.ly/EIvOvoeby @shaanthx.bsky.social

Update i am not seeing HAIM at Edgefield and instead may be coming down with the plague

Coming to you live from transportation purgatory

Join 1000 Friends' @wilsonxcassie.bsky.social who is helping kick off the @aarporegon.bsky.social Age-Friendly Oregon summit on Thursday at PSU!

Today is my first flex day from working Labor Day weekend and you know it’s gonna be a good day because it’s starting with brunch 🙂‍↕️

The mayor’s approach to addressing homelessness is just cruel

I finally emailed the city about how Subaru workers make Buckman streets unsafe do we think they will run me over forreal now

😞

Did my last bike count today and saw a tandem bike, e-trike, recumbent bike, AND a group ride of ~25 people. Fun way to end the season! Also got a couple thank yous from people who knew what I was doing.

I am fuming

Extremely exciting and will be there

applicable response to almost anything that has happened this calendar year

The people (@amb.fyi) asked for it so now you’ve got it. Presenting the GIF of my eye roll in the @bikeportland.org interview

Seems like a good evening to stay off the internet but you can catch me bike counting in a few
