we're close to 60 degrees out at midnight in mid December in Portland, what the

Woke up this morning to water pouring out of a kitchen light fixture. Atmospheric river, baby!! #pdxwx

I can't understand how we could spend a single additional dollar on policing in Portland until PSR is 24/7/365.

bus riders make 10,000+ trips on the 72 each day and every one of them will not only benefit from increased speed but also increased rush hour reliability that trimet has admitted they didn’t model despite knowing the reliability benefits of bus priority are substantial

Major transit improvements on 82nd ave are not up for debate. It's a local and regional priority for climate resiliency and environmental justice alone. We have already determined this! We must push on.

Thinking of folks who are staffing xmas tree stands in this weather. #pdxtst #pdxwx

Huge come from behind 3-0 winterhawks win tonight. Final 4-3 hawks.

The bye and bye building on Alberta is currently for sale for 1.5 mil.

it's way too dark out for it to be 1:43pm #pdxtst

Happy Prohibition Repeal Day to all those who celebrate. May we someday wise up and end the prohibition on other drugs. A prohibition that perpetuates our dangerous and deadly unregulated toxic drug crisis.

I live proximal to this and you , especially Portlanders, should fill this out in a way that makes it safer for me to walk with my toddlers to the food carts on 102nd and Stark. Answer like your children will WALK here , because mine will

If you are in the Pacific Power area of Portland in Inner NE, the increasingly frequent power faults are because of an issue at the Vernon substation requiring power reroutes that are causing more trips and recloses across the grid. Wish they would just post this stuff on the website, alas.

shorten the MAX green line??

and yet people keep saying we should fund the police in order to reduce traffic fatalities 🫠

NEW: Documenting Deportation Flights at MSP Airport “ICE agents would disembark from the airplane and unload bags of shackles from the cargo hold … seeing the chains that would soon be confining my neighbors, binding their hands together at their waist and then down between their ankles.”

NEW: “I was here yesterday recording video and they were laying shackles out on the icy tarmac. It was 15 degrees. Terrible,” said a “very enthusiastic aviation geek” Nick Benson yesterday during a rally demanding an end to deportation flights at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.

Tuned into the end of today's council work session and I'm left to conclude that Mayor Wilson is in big trouble. Perhaps it was only a matter of time for this relationship to grow adversarial and I'm here for it.

This is super exciting! Great location, cool building. A critical piece of PPS infrastructure for Black students in the heart of Albina.

Got a sixer of some local lagers that are sadly laden with diacetyl. Was ready to pour the rest out when I thought "why not try to make a spaghett with campari" and by golly, it fixed the beer!

Finally finished installing a new gas furnace and heat pump system. Didn't go fully electric due to escalating electricity costs, gas bills were already pretty low and I still have other gas appliances. Furnace takes care of the bulk heating, HP kicks on to help maintain once it's close to temp.

needed this win #ripcity

> While Multnomah County is expanding a model that consistently moves people into permanent housing, the City of Portland is cutting from the very programs that make those exits possible, and instead, funding sweeps and high-turnover alternatives.

so the moderate dems negotiated successfully and that ACA renewal legislation is dropping soon, right? oh.

I'm sure their coffee is fine but I get the creeps whenever I see The Human Bean sign.

"Kerr said Vibra has taken in patients from hospitals from as far away as Medford, Klamath Falls and Boise. He said the nearest other long-term acute care hospitals are in Seattle, Boise and Redding, California." 😳 #yipes

Chavez is a deadly street that functions well for no one. It's stressful to drive on, the 75 is slow, virtually unbikeable, and walking along or across it is a harrowing experience. We can and should do better. @pbotinfo.bsky.social @mayorkwilson.bsky.social @councilormorillo.bsky.social

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.

Again, I don’t want to get too personal but the most tepidly political, structurally vulnerable people in my life were protesting ICE all week. The juxtaposition here is just wild.

it's gorgeous 🦋

For reasons I do not understand, I've found myself staring at this screenshot of mayoral endorsements from the very serious, inscrutable institution known as pdxreal. Finding something new to chuckle about each time I look at it.

Somebody cool please take over the Turn Turn Turn space so it doesn't have to perma close. 🙏

Us: We want more speed humps to calm traffic speeds! PBOT: We hear you, we will use our limited funds wisely to implement effective speed humps, great idea! The speed humps:

uggggghh

spiciest portland city council meeting ever? and it just started..

dan ryan stop centering yourself for once challenge

Ah yes, everybody knows the concerns of homeowners are famously under-represented in our city government. Thank you for taking such a courageous stand to ensure property owners finally have a voice on this council, Dan Ryan /s

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Dan Ryan suggests legislation that would regulate landlord price-fixing in Portland comes from up high at the DSA national network, "a solution in search of a problem" pulled from a playbook akin to the left's project 2025.

Starting to think guillotines are the moderate solution...

This lady is a hero. Protect her.

“As of late, Oregon has lost nearly 75 breweries, taprooms, or brewpubs since the pandemic, while the national craft beer market declined by more than 4% in the past 16 months.”

"Now Governor Kotek has an opportunity to heal her wounded transportation legacy by picking an ODOT director that is humble enough to change the status quo and courageous enough to create a new one."

Another day, another W for Montavilla.

a massage therapist whose slogan is "The special thing about massage is that it allows us to experience our interconnectedness" just broadly referred to homeless people as a biohazard to their community..

landowner / "creative agency CEO", whose agency mission is "Our humanity is the force that connects us all. Our community is unquestionably stronger for it. We call it love. Any opposition to that love, we call fear. At Happylucky: We Fear Less. Love More" is currently testifying in favor of sweeps

we've got a person testifying who doesn't even live here anymore who says he was "overcome by secondhand fentanyl smoke" outside his building so he fled the city and is complaining about the sale price of his million dollar condo
