It's a Black History Month tradition. @pdxstepheng.bsky.social shares one profile per day throughout February, and then I gather them all up into a single post for future reference. This time around, it's a Pitch Black alum edition. siliconflorist.com/2026/03/02/b...

A PSA for you to share if you’re getting the “Are you okay? Is it safe there?” sorts of queries: Portland Oregon is absolutely fine #pdx #portland (Footage courtesy @pdxstepheng.bsky.social)

There seems to be a third thing that’s as consistent as death and taxes… that’s @jamiedunphy.bsky.social shitting on Prosper Portland work while disregarding data, basic economic principles or state law. 😒

Councilor Dan Ryan's office had controversial local podcaster Andy Chandler on staff for 3 days before realizing Chandler's personal views were "not in alignment" with that of Ryan and his team. Chandler frequently platforms anti-trans guests and lambasts DEI as racial discrimination.

The latest controversy on Councilor Dan Ryan — the only current elected official who has voted against the expansion of Portland Street Response multiple times. We believe District 2 wants to invest more in PSR and less on controversial right wing podcasters.

If you’re looking for something to do today, @pdxstepheng.bsky.social and I would be happy to hang with you for a bit youtu.be/ALRCxWDQx8c

Why @councilorgreen.bsky.social & @jamiedunphy.bsky.social would be “defunding” small business in Portland with their amendment to cut all general fund money from Prosper Portland. No one in community asked them to do this and it would have catastrophic consequences.

To @councilortiffany.bsky.social so you can’t say you didn’t hear from small business owners…. We do NOT want you to DEFUND Prosper Portland. Critical funding and support to BIPOC owned businesses across #Portland would be lost. siliconflorist.com/2025/05/18/a...

So they didn’t talk to the small business community or labor🤯 I’m shocked (totally not shocked).

My thanks to @pdxstepheng.bsky.social & @turoczy.bsky.social for calling out the dangers of slashing Prosper Portland's budget. @councilorgreen.bsky.social & @councilordunphy.bsky.social's proposed amendment will directly lead to the cutting of at least 30 union jobs that I represent.

Let’s get a few things straight cause I know you are new at this economic development stuff…. The “slush” fund is called the “Strategic Investment Fund” which allows the city to make funds available outside of urban renewal areas which by state law can only cover 15% of the city of Portland.

Late but still good. Let me go smack some leftovers.

Go Blue

Every time through the new #Portland airport terminal I notice something new 🤩

Portland is in the house 😉
