make sure to send this to all the minors, noncitizens, and clark county residents you know 👇

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler. "He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!" Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child. Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

fall coffee outside 🤗

i don't think people talk enough about how "Stranger Things" legitimizes the use of bicycles as a fun, social, mode of transportation. granted, it's kids riding the bikes, but it's kids riding bikes to go do badass shit to save the planet.

personally i think we should let time travellers spend as much money on pan handles as they want at our rest stops

all these "waaaaah 13 innings"posts tell me that none of you have experienced real baseball. watch this (i listened to all 18 innings on the radio) www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SE... youtu.be/M0hrrXTXx14?...

funny how people fault pedestrians for "darting" into intersections, but never the driver of a vehicle going significantly faster

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I don’t necessarily agree that windowless bedrooms are a problem, but if they’re going to banned in the IBC that needs to be coupled with reforms that address the reasons they exist. Take, for example the Elizabeth Lofts in Portland’s Pearl District. 1/3

i feel like the whole capacity thing on 82nd ave could have just been solved with better transfers between existing bus lines and the MAX green line. the green line wasn't designed with transfers in mind- bus stops are sometimes 10 minutes walking away. it's often quicker to transfer to the 72.

soon....

just got home from a public meeting that was split on a vote between a. no bike lane protection b. concrete traffic seperator protection and c. shared use path I can't stress enough how good it felt to hear the discussion was between the *types* of protection, not if it should be there.

Obama sharing a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a King Obama jet that dumped shit all over Americans would have been the only thing the news networks talked about for weeks. Meanwhile, Trump doing that very thing couldn't even warrant a discussion on the Sunday shows today.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

really frustrating that these 5 options for going south of Portland on transit are effectively two given the times of departure like why do we have nothing until 11am, 3 southbound trips from 11am-noon, and then another few clustered around 6pm? nothing between 2 and 5, and 6-930.

We’re continuing #WeekWithoutDriving with more Transit Talks! 🚌 On this episode, join @wilsonxcassie.bsky.social and @christinelewis2.bsky.social as they ride buses and the orange MAX line through Clackamas County. Watch the full version on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/h49Tt5tLNmI?...

interesting report from IFS with @bobbyfijan.bsky.social on the lack of family sized homes in US apartments due in part to financing regiments leading to market failures and overproduction of studios and 1BR homes. also note the plug for single stair buildings. ifstudies.org/report-brief...

this might be news to some, but vacancies drive rents down

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

that we have built an alternate media ecosystem in which every American city is an apocalyptic hellhole - completely unmoored from reality - and the political system has collapsed to the point that the president can use this fabrication to send troops against his own citizens is a staggering failure

Whenever people talk about "luxury housing," I remember there are literal mansions in Hartford, CT that are now selling for less than it costs to buy a starter home in Silicon Valley. If we judge luxury by market value, there is no housing that is intrinsically, permanently "luxury housing."

out riding bikes

floated the idea of "no density cap on multifamily lots less than a 1/4 acre" and city staff put it on a vision board

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

POV: it is 2021, your city hasn't kept up with demand, & median rent went up $200/year “Can you imagine if the median property owner’s property taxes went up by $2,400 a year? Can you imagine the scale of freakout that would be involved?” Andersen said. www.salemreporter.com/2025/09/09/f...

This sentence is from a @taylorgriggs.bsky.social story on Oregon's transportation bill, but I bet people in every US state will think it's about them.

"this city was built for cars", people say. Portland's development patterns centered around the streetcar network up until its removal in the 1920s. each dot represents an existing building, with oranges and reds showing buildings constructed after 1925.

You can dip into the archives and go all the way back to 1988 and, still, average daily traffic on the Ballard Bridge was higher than it is now: 53,600. The idea that it will see compound growth until the heat death of the universe is preposterous.

wonder where all the "x city looks like shit" posters are gonna be after the big cascadia earthquake?

carrying this thing around like its the bible

"historic mom and pop scrapyard" is a new one www.newstimes.com/news/article...

what would a gerrymandered electoral college state map look like

I *despise* these people. "Sees herself as an environmentalist" "is a Republican" "... she'd married into a ranching and timber family"

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.

Don't. Stenographize. Blatantly. Unconstitutional. Stuff. In. The. Headlines. Without. Mentioning. The. Unconstitutionalism. Democracy Dies In Plain Sight, aided & abetted by a once great newspaper that is now a national embarrassment.

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down? J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

they should buy it if they like it so much lol www.koin.com/news/portlan...

I made an anti-AI post on LinkedIn and the people angry or defensive all have Visionary or Founder as their listed role, and everyone agreeing with me has a real job. Amazing how that is.

Amtrak is never late when you want it to be *and* always late when you need it to be on time

@govdanmckee.bsky.social, gutting transit service in Rhode Island is not progress. Your inaction to find additional funding to stop RIPTA cuts speaks volumes. Chronic underfunding of transit deepens the housing crisis, weakens local economies, and undermines climate action. Transit is essential!

they should do a "bicycle fuels tax" on espresso, energy gels, and IPAs

just another piece of critical infrastructure failing kval.com/news/local/h...

just met this guy, "Slimm Buick" has 5 full custom bikes, including this rat swing bike

heard you guys like cargo bikes?

spot the difference between these two images

supposedly they closed i-5 north in Seattle? hard to tell based on the traffic map
