Good to see the paper of record finally joining those of us who have been calling for a fair deal. It’s important to get this right. We do that by ditching the artificially short timeline the Mayor and Governor set for Council, engage the public properly and negotiate *for* Portlanders.

In total, it appears that Trump added about $2.2 billion to his net worth in 2025—by far his most lucrative year in the presidency, and far more than in 2024, when he reported earning about $600 million.

Time for shithousery lol

Epstein ass World Cup

War Dad gets red card 😭

Trapped between genuinely liking this US team and how they play and dreading the inevitable nationalist garbage if they win

WAR DAD STRIKES

A lot of people have been asking me about how to increase canvassing for progressive candidates and my 100% sincere answer is join DSA, build capacity in your chapter, and run candidates who are socialists. There’s no short cut of half measure that will generate the excitement you need to win.

So two years after running for a county govt seat she is decamping for the east coast? These folks don’t actually have any allegiance to the place they seek to serve, just personal ambition.

The fix is in wtf

I left the room and Senegal was up by 2. I came back 5 minutes later and it’s tied?! wtf happened?!

Oh hey weird that when these two got caught covered in the media as coordinating something that looks a lot like a money laundering scam they sell all their assets and move away.

👀

bahahahaha

The reports are worth reading. They are well done. Taken together, there is no way to justify PPA's ballot measure. The City of Portland does not believe that there is any validity to the "officers per 1,000" metric that the Portland Police Association (PPA) bases their entire pitch on.

Very good week for socialists

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

¡Viva Mexico!

The people saying we don’t have money and need to raid the 82% voter-approved community board for police accountability are same people who want to throw $120 million of our money at a Texas billionaire for MODA center with no discussion or vote by the public. Absolutely shameful.

the people who are doing the police oversight know that this move is meant to make it less effective. The mod-squad (mid-squad) is trying to damage police accountability on the orders of the police union.

Portland's Community Board for Police Accountability is speaking out amid a supplemental budget ordinance, proposed by a moderate block of city councilors, that could pull from the police oversight budget next year to pay back money borrowed now.

Amerikanischer Reichsadler Sind wir großartig?

anyone paying attention would have known this was coming, yet it lands like a punch to the gut. my god.

Reflecting on Portland's deadly heat wave of 2021. Also: Monica digs into how PCEF has paid for nearly 25,000 AC unit installs since then. An illustrative peek at ways this fund has historically been used in Portland, as electeds consider tapping the fund to pay for Moda renovations.

JFC this penalty shootout

innumerate lawyers are a plague on american society

Omg what a save

Oh ok so Van Dijk can still dominate when he feels like it?

Best World Cup moment for Germany was when a German woman was dancing all out to “Wipe Me Down” in the club in full team garb

Honestly disappointed that Councilor Morillo isn’t posting in all caps about how Paraguay will win the World Cup

The weirdo right wingers in our city think that tweeting pictures of Mitch Green depicted as a cockroach is going to inspire voters to vote against him rather than get a response like “oh, Mitch’s detractors are unhinged freaks and fascists”

Yeah the right wing has never called anyone a communist lol

Shannon Singleton will lose the county chair race if she allows Julia Brim Edwards to be seen as more critical of the Moda Center deal

If you want to know why both corporate Democrats and Republicans are freaking out about DSA on the TV, this is why. We’ve been living under a 50 year lie that good things are not possible in our politics and it only took six months in a major American city to show that it was a bipartisan scam.

Nothing is more embarrassing than when someone says they used AI to answer a question and is proud of it

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

There are political barriers in Portland and Oregon that can be overcome if enough voters want change and government that actually works for them. If you leave it to the centrists you’ll get more of the same: a declining quality of life and collapsing infrastructure while the rich get richer.

They made him the poster boy for the democrats but he made himself the standard by which they are now judged, and every one of them is failing.

Sometimes people ask why DSA councilors in Portland can’t do what Mamdani is doing and part of that is that he has executive power as the Mayor. You need a progressive Mayor with a progressive legislative body (the city council) to make big change. Let’s use the rent freeze as an example ⬇️

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Pan con queso is top tier pizza

I remember when Van Jones was considered a radical lmao

Iran got cheated

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

The other funny thing about this dynamic is that Tina Kotek (already massively unpopular) and Keith Wilson (rapidly becoming unpopular) attached their reputations to a world class asshole for literally nothing

It takes a special kind of creep to stand out for sleaziness among NBA owners.

There are now two competing ordinances to restore services after Portland's budget. One of them once again proposes taking money from police accountability. Ours doesn't. That isn't the only option. It's a choice. Watch the video to hear why I think Portlanders should be paying close attention.

What a match!

I’m at World Cup!
