Visiting the @verzetsmuseum.bsky.social (Resistance Museum) is a really powerful experience. The exhibits are well done and are clearly attempting to balance pride in their heroes with shame for their nation’s collective failure. 🧵

Everyone: Judges have ruled several times that the President has broken the law. Do you support impeachment? House Leader: Yes... Everyone: Oh, okay... House Leader: ....of the judges.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Made the mistake of tuning in to watch Trump's rambling nonsense at Davos and he said China only sells windmills and doesn't use them because they aren't cost effective. In 2024 China produced more windpower than the US and Europe combined. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Excited for this kickoff event! One of the best things about being abroad is seeing how local government works (or doesn't work) outside the US. Already learning things I hope to bring back to MultCo and PDX. February 1 at 11:00am Cafe R. De Rosa, Boomstraat 41A, 1015 LB

When Hitler invaded the Rhineland & broke the Treaty of Versailles, some thought he'd stop there & that negotiation was preferable to confrontation. Trump and MAGA extremists will not stop at Venezuela. They will not stop at Greenland. This is the Fourth Reich. www.bbc.com/news/live/cx...

This is the hardest job in Oregon politics. Many thanks to @jvegapederson.bsky.social for your service to MultCo.

Look at the central city riverfront of Portland. It's just so shocking and embarrassing that we tolerate this.

The Portland Neighbors Welcome Board of Directors has five spots open for election this winter! Consider applying to be on the board - applications are due December 10th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's open, and it's an absolute triumph. I never thought we'd get our own little version of Amsterdam's famous Rijksmuseum tunnel! I had to see it to believe it. youtu.be/zKqKCWsSOcU

Happy Sint-Maartenfeest to all who celebrate! Learned about this holiday when I opened the door and two primary schoolers holding lanterns started singing to me. According to Dutch tradition, you give them candy or they get to set your house on fire.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

Still settling in after moving from Portland to Amsterdam, but I gotta share our first bike purchase. Picked up a secondhand bike with a new lock, basket, lights, and 90 day warranty for €265. It's a beauty. Still building the rest of the family fleet 🚲.

Wow wow wow. 🪓🪵

Portland's ruling class has a bizarre theory that the way to revitalize troubled locations is to remove seating, bathrooms, and open spaces, then add boulders and hideous fencing. You see it at Central Library, Firefighter Memorial, etc. Meanwhile in Europe...

A Portland-area youth soccer organization has had to adjust its schedule as teams cancel play due to nearby ICE activity.

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.

Republicans will not stop stealing your food unless you let them steal your medicine. www.oregonlive.com/retail/2025/...

I hope Portlanders realize how lucky we are that @candaceavalos.bsky.social is not physically hurt. It's hard to overstate how much she's contributed to making this city more just, democratic, and fair. Sending my best wishes to Candace and all those close to her 🌹.

It's a deal, not a donation. The US military now owes a favor to an anonymous billionaire. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

People, it's just the White House. Save your outrage for important things like the Cracker Barrel logo and your local confederate monuments.

We can't stop Trump from building this, but Trump can't stop the next president from turning it into a free museum that documents all the cruel and stupid things Trump has ever done. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Trump’s police force is terrorizing school pick-up lines and throwing tear gas at local police. He is not making the country safer. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

what a time to be alive

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

This is a wicked hard problem & even the best proposals coming from the city & county are simply trying to mitigate the worst effects of a major disaster. To really fix the problem the state needs to move the hub.

Viva la Ribbitlution! 🐸

Portland's leaders have been incredible the last couple of weeks. They are balancing leading with their own voices while also amplifying voices from the community. Disciplined, smart, and strong. Portland will outlast this president.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

antifa in portland just announced they will be hosting a counter halftime show to counter turning point's counter halftime show

Like I said: Kristi Noem is a liar, has no honor, and we are lucky that we have a proud protest tradition that shows this administration we are not backing down. 🫡🐸🐔

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

I don't think these are empty threats. I think Trump's plan in Illinois, and the rest of America, is to create a single-party military dictatorship. He's openly threatening to arrest governors & mayors and promising to crush any opposition with the US military. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

84YO woman who was peacefully protesting on 10/4 when, in her words, "Feds rushed out in a phalanx and pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile....4 Portland police officers came to her and were very caring." (She wants this shared).

Oregon Republican Party posts fake images in attempt to provoke military invasion of Portland.

"The single most important behaviour, design or regulation for creating streets conducive to walking and cycling, was physical separation between the modes" We've got a new study out, learning from a broad mixture of street users, planners and designers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon. The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.
