Distributing more than 20,000 free AC units. Building a community solar project that’s reducing GHGs & lowering energy bills for 150 low-income families in Cully. Planting 15,000 trees in urban heat island areas. Those are our PCEF dollars at work:

Here we are again in the Angina de Poutine on-sale. They have two new shows in Portland, Dec 10th and 11th at the Crystal Ball, maybe my least favorite venue in town but I'd love to go see these guys, it would be funny.

Wonderful soaring jam on the 5/16/1994 Wiltern LA Antelope -> BBFCFM -> Antelope. Heard before but it snuck up on me. #Phish

trying to find that meme/graphic where it talks about early 2010s hipster fashion and then shows men nowadays with the fuckboy pencil stache and the gist of it is "same evil, different packaging"

ANYWAY cities aren't loud; cars are loud. ban cars. immediately.

you guys need to take your antipsychotics

It’s weird how booing AI has completely broken some commencement speakers. They’ve gone from, “You can do anything if you put your mind to it” to “Shut up and eat shit, fuckers. Being here is supposed to make ME feel good, not you.”

I learned about the Girl Talk albums from the Phish Setbreak and Walk-In Playlist. They were surprisingly good, at least in my view.

MY generation drank from the BLOG HOUSE. we didn't TALK to GIRLS, we listened to GIRL TALK. we grew up in the HOOD INTERNET. we didn't survive lead runoff, we survived HIPSTER RUNOFF. a time when boys were BOYS NOIZE

A girlfriend of mine was canvassed for the More Cops initiative yesterday. The guy gave her some rehearsed bullshit, she countered with facts about how policing in Portland is beyond broken, and then he immediately gave up and asked for her number instead. Is this really what we want?

🎵 We're going back 🎶

Councilors Loretta Smith, Elana Pirtle-Guiney, Eric Zimmerman, Dan Ryan, Steve Novick and Olivia Clark voted no. Let's name names

We absolutely can have this here. Which means we absolutely must pursue this here.

Flashback to when the state leg defunded AMTRAK and SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL in order to bail out freeways, I testified out of frustration, Lieber told me to campaign for 120 if I was so upset about it Lieber needs to go

It’s gotta be stopped. Israel must be stopped.

Maybe best weather of the year so far in Portland.

TFW you're about to lick it like a jar of peanut butter.

sturgill's 2024 album got me through a breakup, now we fucking to his 2026 album.

As a Blazer fan, we are rooting for the first Canadian Stanley Cup since 1993. #RipCity #FuckYou #TomDundon

Dua Live From Mexico album drops realllll sooonnnnnnn

I was at a Beaverton Starbucks strike location in November 2025. We were supporting labor in the rain with those courageous workers, who were fighting for a living wage. Dr. Tammy Carpenter also showed up. She walked the line. She promised her support. She was there for workers when few else were.

We’re calling it!

Keep going back to this. Prime example of 3.0 hose. Jam starts off a little exploratory and then Trey's chord changes bring it into Hose Mode. Groove for a few minutes and then the lead guitar takes over, trilling and riffing, into a final close. Maybe 2015 Phish personified.

my overstimulated brain when the boss asks me to clean the floors

5/7/1994 II of course have heard many a time before but i just listened while basking in the sun and let me tell you when they got to Purple Rain it was hard to keep a tear out of my eye 🥲 such a groundbreaking set for them in so many ways #Phish

Mamdani is going to start an arms race of elected officials actually doing good things for their constituents. It's going to infuriate most Democrats who prefer to tell their voters to fuck off while texting for dollars.

All of this was pretty well documented from their work in other cities before they were even handed a giant contract under Ted Wheeler. The conservatives on council have been terrible on so many issues, including this.

Would not be surprised if these tactics were used by Nathan Vasquez's Portland DA office to go after ICE protestors (and others).

Incredible performance of the best song in their catalog: Garcia at the height of his powers and the band absolutely COOKING. Eyes of the World by Grateful Dead, Englishtown, NJ 9/3/77. Jerry’s solo hits right at the 7:30 mark. What a workout and what a privilege to be able to cop these licks.

ARE YOU READY FOR A RUNOFF? Let's get this done in November 🔥

Three wins. Too many bangers to count. Another undefeated night at Lents for the pink and green.

Reminder that Councilor Smith has a track record of creating a hostile and abusive workplace for her staff. It seems her colleagues are not spared from this toxicity, either.

We saw you from across the bar. We're looking for a seventh.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

🥰 It’s a beautiful day out, and there’s good news!

Clackamas County Jail is notoriously awful and the entire facility warrants a criminal investigation; this is the least surprising news of the year. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

In addition to the obvious smear attempts and right-wing agenda The Oregonian has, I have a theory that they really don't know how to reckon with a system that actually has voices and power for workers and the socialist left. One example is the different names, "ultra-left", "far-left", etc.

Most of our cooks prepare meals from home, but the reason we're able to consistently make around 100 meals on Mondays is due to one of our cooks having access to a large communal kitchen Sadly, that access will be coming to an end this summer #MutualAid #PDX #MutualAidPDX 1/5

The biggest reasons I got into this race was because of the constant 6-6 votes that were keeping our city from enacting progressive policies that will help all of us. We are facing affordability, climate, housing, mental health, and addiction crises. We don’t have time to waste on 6-6 votes.

"Clackamas County Sheriff Deputy Benjamin Lyman was arrested by the Oregon City Police Department on May 21 and charged with two misdemeanor counts of first degree criminal mistreatment, two misdemeanor counts of strangulation, three counts of harassment and one count of interfering with a report."

i see a girl like her on the trimet #20 every friday tbh...

Hey cool, ODOT is running a trial of what removing the eastbank freeway could look like, sometime this July. @nomorefreewayspdx.com

Preschool for All sees record demand ahead of largest expansion yet! This surge comes as we nearly doubled available seats from last school year, allowing the program to place more than 7,000 children within local preschools. The secondary open application period will launch on June 16.

Interesting.... and not surprising. The Oregonian is a right-wing rag. Anyone still subscribed is enabling local conservatives.

Reached the 8/13/1993 stage of the Phish Chronological Hose list. Everything before now "prehistoric". Had to relisten to the Gin even though I've probably heard it 300-400 times or more. The floodgates opened up on both Type 2 and hose, very few of each happening before.
