Portland: Neighbors Welcome urges City Council to reject the proposed camping ban ordinance. Portland must embrace housing first strategies that offer dignity and respect to our most vulnerable neighbors. Let's house all our neighbors, together.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

DeNazify the US Government

If you think the military should be deployed into American cities because there’s the slightest tension at a protest, congratulations! You are a fascist! Lots of people want to hold fascist ideologies without realizing what they’ve become, but we have words to describe things and that’s what u are

📷 Now: Apgar Mountain 📍 Glacier National Park 📣 #glaciernationalpark #montana

Folks have been kindly reaching out to see how we’re doing here in Portland so I thought I’d take you with me to get coffee today. @mayorkwilson.bsky.social #warravagedportland @councilorgreen.bsky.social

ladies and gentlemen, the weekend.

Chris Murphy: "In a different era, maybe just asking for a minor adjustment in health care tax credit policy would be enough. But it’s not a normal time. If you don’t mount a stand right now on behalf of democracy, there won’t be another opportunity."

GUARD: GO HOME!

Pakistan pivoting away from LNG b/c it's too expensive. Petroleum Minister says it's "not a blip" but a strategic shift www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The fact that SF cameras have already caught thousands of people going more than 15 miles over the speed limit is a perfect illustration of why these cameras were needed in the first place. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

This space has been vacant for over a decade; NWMOCA would bring much needed activation to the N Park Blocks, and draw people from across the region. It's exactly what we need, and I hope they're successful with their very modest fundraising goal.

Chevron's El Segundo refinery in southern California on fire www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

all presidential administrations are partisan, but trump and the people in his white house are partisans bordering on sectarians, and one result is that they see nothing of actions that strain and weaken the union itself

Downtown First Thursday has become one of San Francisco’s iconic events. It brings everyone together & is such awesome energy. Boy do we need awesome energy these days. Thank you Civic Joy Fund & Into the Streets SF for all you do!

today I talked to one neighbor about EV leases and then invited him to come meet my kittens and another one chatted me up about heat pumps last week a third one asked about disaster prep and weatherization, and I gave her local contacts who she hit up knowing ppl on your street is magic

lol Judge Simon recused himself and a Trump appointee with hear the case

How about $10 million from this administration to keep people housed who had been living on our streets? Trump needs to get his priorities straight. His actions & policies are harming Portland, not helping. We do not want or need an unlawful, expensive military deployment on the taxpayer dime.

Looming over what would otherwise be a beautiful stretch of pacific coastline, this facility represents about 1.5% of the US’s refining capacity. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

This is the fossil economy

First Thursday Portland, OR

Holy shit. Russ Vought is 49. I seriously thought this mutherfucker was in his late 60s. Further proof that being a monster will age you hard.

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plays the same role in aviation as CCS/BECCS/DACCS play for other fossil-fuelled sectors: more a stalling tactic than solution. Good engineers work on SAF, but CEOs/politicians/etc deliberately mis-sell their role in mitigation. climateuncensored.com/gatwick-expa...

Feds cancelling a whole raft of manufacturing & innovation projects in Washington state, because WA is blue & the federal government has declared open war on half the country.

"For the second year in a row, the cooler months have ushered in a Republican Nazi porn scandal..."

A thing I learned recently: having a zillion zoning districts within a city slows down permitting, because it reduces the chance that a given design has already been approved elsewhere in town

The net result of Trump admin canceling these lawfully awarded contracts, higher electricity prices, a less reliable energy system, fewer jobs, and more pollution. The reason? Sheer contempt for Americans who live in blue states

September was close to 1.5°C above pre-industrial While this is among the least warmed months and the Tropical Pacific Ocean is relatively cool. This indicates a global warming rate of about 0.4°C/decade. A warming rate increase of >0.2°C/dec. In line with a Global Aerosol Termination Shock.

No war zone here. A beautiful bike bus with some great kiddos headed to school this morning in NE Portland.

Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Think of all the bike infrastructure PBOT could have removed with this revenue www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Last year, we were lucky enough to welcome Dr Jane Goodall to the Greenpeace stage at Glastonbury, where she shared this beautiful message of HOPE in tough times. Rest in peace, Jane. Thank you so much for all the hope you gave to us all. 💚💚

Portland Warns Trump It’s Ready to Use Full Force of Voodoo Doughnut: tinyurl.com/mrywtx9c

Hiking in the Columbia Gorge always starts with a lot of up but the views are worth the effort. Have a great day. Nature photo day 261 #nature #photograph #waterwednesday #landscape #eastcoastkin #blackandwhite #monochrome #outside #photographersofbluesky #photooftheday #hiking #river

The same folks who shouted down my interview with the Mayor at Hike Hapoy Hour a few weeks ago came back tonight… and it was great. Everyone shared and listened and made connections and learned. This is how we build a stronger community! 🙏🏻💪🏻❤️

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

The call for convicting and hanging Rep Jayapal is dangerous. It puts her & all active participants in our democracy in danger. I hope Republicans in this thread will condemn this unequivocally. We have to stop the madness & descent into darkness.

This is how I look while getting death threats btw 😌✨ Good luck to y’all, I am ready to brawl for my city in whatever unhinged ways the moment required

One thing those of us in Portland can do is talk to our normie friends and family outside the city and explain how it feels to be targeted by the president, threatened with brutality or worse… maybe it’s a way of breaking through with people on the extreme and dangerous nature of this moment

Mark Hamill found my runch spot

Soldiers famously like to work for no pay

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

This comes the same day Hegseth told the military to pursue "the enemy within" and not to worry about war crimes. They want to embed the ethos of ICE into the military.

👀 woah. Would note that LA’s electric utility is publicly owned — the largest of its kind in the country

Donald Trump’s decision to invade Portland on the basis of video from five years ago raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.

They say the feds went in looking for the rose room and were never heard from again

“We’re glad ODOT workers’ jobs were saved... but let’s be clear: if Oregon continues on this trajectory, we will see rising deaths on our roads, worsening inequality and communities left behind in ways that will be hard to come back from.” oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/09/29/o...

Don’t forget this.
