To the centrists on council and many of the movers and shakers in Portland, reports of sexual assault get put on the back burner and they go ahead and fund a troubled business because they’re more concerned about sweeping poor people out of sight. Vote for candidates who care about people.

When the moderates voted against an amendment to do an investigation on Urban Alchemy because houseless ppl filed over 100 reports saying they were being abused in the shelters, only 2? News outlets covered it. We failed to investigate rape and this org just unquestioningly gets city dollars.

Hmm. I wonder what D1 and D2 elections being in on-years and D3 and D4 elections being in off-years will do to election outcomes here

@trimet.org and @trimet.bsky.social, I've been a big supporter of directing City money to you in your time of need. Those decisions will be made in the next several months. You need to address this. You have real employees of color. Tell their stories.

TriMet uses AI to put their employees in brownface by the way! I know the employee in question and he is a white man, and looks like he was AI prompted to be Latino/combined with one of my other old coworkers who is Latino

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

A(n ostensibly) feminist rabbinic colleague got in my DMs the other day to scream at me about how drawing attention to these— well, there’s no banality to this evil— Was “playing into the hands of the Right” Like, when is the right time to name a genocide, then? Only after? Only then? Like?

If you live in D4, rank Jamey Evenstar high on your ballot. I've had the pleasure of working with Jamey for a decade and I need her in city hall. A Jamie for every district!

Most people don’t know this, but @jamiedunphy.bsky.social and I go way back when we were both policy staff. He was the single most important ally in City Hall that helped get our Fair Access in Renting package of tenant protection reforms passed. He’s a real one, I will be forever grateful. 🥹

The horrific failed and botched execution attempt in Tennessee last night lays bare the cruelty of the death penalty. Christa Pike's attorneys challenged the state's ability to safely execute her, to no avail. She remains hospitalized. We must end the death penalty. #christapike #deathpenalty
