I've seen people recommending the Willamette Week voting guide and I gotta tell you - these days Willie Week seems just as much a part of the
#portland
establishment as The Oregonian to me. Very little difference. The Mercury is the last decent local paper standing.

The way the Oregonian, the governor, and other electeds are pushing narratives that we must unquestioningly give a billionaire millions of tax payer dollars for the Moda center without evidence is astounding. I’ve never clutched pearls but this level of fiscal irresponsibility is getting me there!

What if every vision of the future, seen by a prophet, was actually just a vision of a prestige TV series? How would they know the difference? How could we expect them to know the difference?

This thread is infuriating. If accountability mattered to Democrats writ large, we wouldn't be knee deep in shit. This inability to take critique and do better doesn't show fight, it shows fecklessness. People are quite literally demanding fighters and most of y'all are whining and obfuscating.

I called my senators and my congressperson to tell them my wallet’s closed to democrats until there’s an apology for this. Only the left gets this tough guy talking-to and it’s gross. If wanting the party to be responsive instead of a corporatist fossil makes me the opposition then I’m proud to be.

the old insider politics of city hall over. we built a system designed to destroy it. but that system is only as good as the willingness of your elected leaders to fight to bring about the change that is now possible. i've been in this fight since day one and i'd love your help to stay in it.

It seems urgent to find out how many NDAs have been signed by public officials related to this deal. If electeds or public employees have signed NDAs that prevent them from disclosing things to either the public or to city council in its oversight role then this is a crisis.

learned that a local company called Sightline Intelligence is shipping lethal drone tech to Israel. Take 2 mins to click & ask electeds to look into Sightline, which uses PDX area footage in its chilling promo materials:

Investigate Sightline!
Call on Oregon officials to investigate Sightline Intelligence. No to aiding and abetting genocide! No to training military tech on Portlanders!

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Jokes aside, councilors haven’t been brought into these discussions until recently and the information we’ve received is vague. If they want public dollars, there needs to be empirical evidence that this will provide massive public benefits. Public dollars are not a slush fund for billionaires.

The city administrator model is just a fast track to corruption unless elected leaders can perform oversight. Any whining about it not being “nice” is a tactic to thwart transparency so wealthy and powerful people can enrich themselves using public money.

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

I'll admit that I definitely spent a smidge more time than I should have thinking about how much I loathed Rene Gonzalez when he was on council. It will never even come close to comparing to how much time and energy some of these right wingers spend on loathing Morillo, Green and Avalos.

The conservatives on city council love putting money jn the general fund because they believe Portlanders don’t have the attention spans to track what they do with it afterwards.

Nobody ever wants to hear this but our politics would be smarter and less corrupt if elected officials and their staff were paid more. Especially true for state legislatures but it applies to Congress too.
