Television pioneer Fred Rogers, gone 23 years ago today. His acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award is always worth a watch. #RIP 💔

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Some excellent headlines from the April 1963 National Eagle, the Portland, OR newspaper edited by the future chair of the Oregon Republican Party.

If all it took for Trump to give Mamdani money for social housing was some badly photoshopped newspapers and a smile, me and @pdxmeredith.bsky.social could do it NO problem. Meredith’s photoshopping skills? Unparalleled. My charm? Unmatched.

Here's the guy they'll be fining :) Also a reminder that he prioritized ICE's use of his building over the nearby elementary school where the kids were getting gassed. www.wweek.com/news/courts/...

So funny that Dems have spent a decade unable to unravel the complex mind of the dumbest man in politics, then Mamdani instantly came up with "be charismatic and strong" and "make him fake newspapers" and it's Super Effective.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump. One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president. But sure, let’s depose Hillary Clinton.

Downtown Portland, especially since it's the city center for Oregon's primary city, needs to be a destination for things that people cannot get elsewhere in the region. Right now, it's not--it's full of empty offices, blank walls, and parking lots. Fixing this problem will take a lot of $ and work.

My most out there transportation belief is that there is no reason for cars to be allowed between I-405 and the Willamette.

It's a concentration camp for kids. That's what we have now.

Probably the best move for accessibility, but I'm gonna miss those Superliner Lounge Cars www.trains.com/pro/mechanic...

CALLING ALL PORTLAND AREA TRANSIT NERDS: Wordle but for TriMet routes—Routle www.routle.city/trimet

man they're straight running the 2003 iraq "They have WMD or are about to" playbook

This will kill people

He's talking about gunning down a kid on a bike, legally observing him.

When PPB is more successful at de-escalating than you, then I think you’re completely beyond reform.

The kid was on an e-moto and the 9-1-1 dispatcher had to tell the ICE agent that he could, you know, just drive away.

ICE thug Israel Hernandez belongs behind bars. And failing that, make his name infamous!

If you are an elected official, you must be willing to do anything in your power to stop these violent kidnappers from terrorizing us. Anything less is an abdication of your duty to your community.

She fucking nailed it. 😆

It’s amazing that a NYTimes politics reporter could utter these words 2026. The rest of the analysis is fine, but why bother engaging in this throat clearing paean to a Republican Party that no longer exists and is hard to see ever coming back?

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

Also his goons murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Any argument made that the game should be played because of "tradition" was instantly invalidated by the Ucks throwing tradition out the window when they left the PAC12

there is no need to play the Ducks in football anymore. this was made clear in August 2023. any veiled attempt to convince Beaver fans it’s still important is a slap in the face.

So oversight Dems are saying that FBI teams were late to both the Charlie Kirk killing AND the Brown mass shooting because Kash was using the plane?

🚍 ACTION ALERT! 🚍 82nd Avenue is East Portland's Main Street, and our community deserves frequent and reliable transit. Join me and Representative Thuy Tran in asking the legislature to fund full Business Access and Transit Lanes on 82nd Avenue: #orleg #orpol actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

Bro is gonna be mayor for 9 terms

I'm in love with the Riverwalk Redevelopment in San Diego, which is turning a 200 acre LRT adjacent Golf Course, and turning it into a big park and over 4k transit oriented homes. Portland should follow their example, and turn the Eastmoreland Golf Course into homes for thousands of Portlanders.

And yet, I had no vote in Southwest ditching the free bags and open seating

BREAKING Maryland AG Brown files lawsuit to block Hagerstown ICE warehouse. “The lawsuit alleges that DHS and ICE violated NEPA by purchasing the property and moving forward with construction plans without conducting any of these required steps.”

This is the political movement that convinced a non-trivial amount of Americans that they were going to “protect women’s sports.”

Breaking: The Olympic gold-winning U.S. women's hockey team DECLINES Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address after he was caught on video mocking them.

every time the X vs. Bluesky discourse comes up the conversation eventually gets here and i'm amazed that it finds a way to continue afterwards

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

🎯🎯

Based on my professional experience the most effective policy would be to ban state DOTs from evaluating road projects on peak hour volume/capacity and only use 24-hour analysis. Requires a complete mindset change on rush hour, but you can only attack traffic engineering on its terms

Literally

Maternal mortality in Louisiana is literally 40x Greenland (41.9/100k to 1.0/100k). They should send hospital boat to Louisiana.

feel like i'm gonna be getting a lot of mileage out of this one

Trump is giving tax cuts to Bezos but none to you.

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor." Donald Trump in 2023⬇️

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending."
