Childcare is yet another rising cost for young families along with rising rents, utilities, groceries, and more. Through Preschool for All we are providing some relief, with more than 3,800 tuition-free seats helping families across Multnomah County save thousands of dollars each year.

lmao all of that to go down in flames 8-2. common ryan L

my health insurance premium will double next year. a big FUCK YOU to all the dems who caved on this

Today Portland City Council will have a final hearing and vote on my Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban! So grateful for leaders like @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for leading the charge in the courts. Corporations should not be taking advantage of regular people for profit. Affordable rent NOW!

What amazing timing for this news story, leading into tonight's vote on banning algorithmic price fixing tools for Portland rentals.

let's hear what dan ryan has to say, i'm sure it's very well thought out

hi my name is dan ryan and welcome to im a fucking idiot

Disagreement on policy is welcome and reasonable, but calling me a Nazi for cosponsoring an ordinance to ban price-fixing is completely unacceptable. Councilor Ryan edited his post, but did not disclose the edit and explain the nature of the substantive change, so it’s here for posterity.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

not a maddow fan generally but very much a fan of all the people of newport who turned out to say no to ICE:

There are heroes amongst us www.koin.com/news/oregon/... On Saturday afternoon, lawyer Stephen Manning sat inside a van parked outside the ICE facility in South Portland. But the van is much more than that. It’s a fully equipped mobile legal office dubbed the Justice Bus.

a whale beaching and then suffering the slow collapse of its insides due to the atmospheric weight of the surface world feels almost too on the nose of a metaphor. rip friend

Two months ago, some pretty wonderful news came out about a clinical trial showing that a gene therapy might be able to delay the progression of Huntington’s Disease. HD is a devastating neurological disease that attacks behavioral, cognitive and motor function. It’s fatal and it’s genetic. 🧵

OREGON - "The property tax program is open to people who are disabled or are at least 62 years old. Participants must have annual incomes below $60,000 and a net worth below $500,000, among other qualifications." www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

yes YES!!!

Can anyone recommend a good book or two about Native Americans in the Southeastern U.S. in the 50 or so years leading up to the Trail of Tears (i.e. ~1780-1830)?

ice is hoping to put a new detention facility in newport

This unimaginable tragedy happened at N Interstate and N Lombard — which remains one of Portland's most inhumane and stressful intersections.

Please email Portland City Councilors directly to vote in favor of Morillo’s amendment. Testimony is great, but that direct outreach is really important right now.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

incredible piece

I know we are but a small town but we should have nice things and fast buses at peak ridership!!

Today I voted for Multnomah County to distribute $100,000 in emergency funds to assist families who have lost #SNAP benefits. These funds will go to local organizations working tirelessly to provide assistance to our community. If you are in need of food assistance, visit multco.us/food

i went to the municipal meeting with the most rancid vibes of my life yesterday. one elected had already quit, a second was facing recall and the DA had signed up for the public comment period (!!!) to yell at them to unfreeze her budget to which they replied "we don't respond to public comment" lol

Being well-liked and charismatic and having policy positions the majority of the electorate agree with might work in New York City but that doesn't mean it will work in places where every day is opposite day

"the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, also said that the wealthiest tenth of Oregonians together own more than three-quarters of the wealth in the state."

My favorite Halloween tradition is writing a spooky history essay for @proteanmag.com, and 2025’s is a good one. This time, we’re heading back to the graveyard. Bring a shovel. proteanmag.com/2025/10/31/r...

I oppose the resumption of sweeps beginning tomorrow. They are costly, ineffective and cruel. At a time when our Federal government is literally starving our most vulnerable neighbors, we add to that by violently taking from them what little they have? My statement attached.

i don't understand how dan ryan using his public sector email constituent list to tell voters not to vote for the tax levy, a clear breach of the explicit public facing/campaign dichotomy, is somehow less of a scandal than group chat text messages

ICE forcing school closures in the Portland metro area

People are literally going hungry and struggling to pay rent on every level and this is the move?? God these people are villainous

good journalism sometimes entails calling out bad journalism. thank you Taylor!

If you travel around your city using public transit, why not print out copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE" in your city and hand those out? It's a simple way to inform people. drive.google.com/drive/folder... - I distributed some to folks on the bus today and they were all grateful to receive them

Literally no one else is doing this: democracies don’t send people to random third countries as punishment. It violates huge portions of human rights law (that are incorporated into national law), which is why it’s been repeatedly halted by courts elsewhere.

The author of this article continuously attacked the teacher’s union during their strike. FWIW, most of the city had tons of city pride while right wing PACs, politicians, and media outlets were trying to get us to hate Portland so rich people could get tax cuts.

Sign it and pass it on. Tonight the mayor listened to this presentation and booked it out of there as fast as possible. He turned his back on one of the people who participated in this survey when they tried to talk to him. Wilson was uncomfortable. Glad he came. But poor showing of listening.

Finding Home has been released! Please read the report, sign the petition, watch the video! This was 2.5 years of effort, and the work of over 650 Portland Metro area residents to give US real solutions to homelessness and poverty in our region. welcomehomecoalition.org/finding-home/

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
