THE Mitch Green??? Like, Portland, Oregon Mitch Green??

Let's do it. Legislators need to hear from you if you support this!

Having a realization in late October that probably could have been made in January 🫠

Specifically on revenue reform, we are calling for: 1. Adoption of the kicker methodology bill that Rep. Gamba has carried 2. Taking on Measures 5 and 50 directly 3. Fully decouple from HR 1 We're also calling for action on local revenue measures under consideration by Council (i.e., Fair Share).

Over the last several days I've heard directly from parents who are scared and outraged about the PPS proposals for closure of their schools. They are calling for action from their elected officials at all levels. Today I have filed an emergency that responds to the urgency of these calls. 🧵

Time for another round of Rodent Rambles!™️™️™️ where I just ramble for too many posts to sort out my thoughts. Today's topic: Brian Owendoff, the R slur and Tropic Thunder.

I'm at the bioswale Im at the traffic diverter I'm at the combination bioswale and traffic diverter (NE Holman St and 13th, Portland, OR)

This guy really spent $400 to shitpost in the Voters' Pamphlet 💀

If we want leaders who show up for us, we have to show up for them ✊️ Spent the morning knocking doors for @jameyevenstar.bsky.social , including this house (they encouraged me to take a pic!) and others. People were receptive and in good spirits, and got some #1 vote converts. Time well spent.

...anyone got tips for canvassing door-to-door in the absolute heaviest rain we've seen in six months?

About Portland's election: it's important to remember that the Democratic Party of OR and majority of your organized labor support the status quo, not progressive change. Grasping to hold onto power, these fauxgressives working against the DSA candidates are de facto moving your place to the right.

Obama in Michigan: "He is focused on home renovations. He should be on HGTV! ... He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory"

love Portland so much. We just spent the afternoon biking around with Cassie's mom (visiting from Seattle) and Parker. The weather was beautiful. This morning I got to talk local politics with neighbors, then knock doors for people I actually believe in. I am lucky. This place rules.

“He should be on HGTV,” Mr. Obama said, ridiculing Mr. Trump’s focus on applying gold trimmings to the White House. “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere.” 💀

I'm honored for my extremely colorful backpack to have made the cut ❤️

Knocking doors; spoke with a teacher with two young kids. He said I'm the first to knock his door, and because of my comments about how Angelita treated me and treats staff and those with less power than her with respect (and other reasons), he is "definitely" ranking her 1. THIS IS WHY WE CANVASS

Remember when Steve Novick said - in an ad for US Senate - that Democrats are frustrated at the lack of progress on stuff and "we can't afford just politics as usual?" Amazing that he is now running on "politics as usual." www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Ue...

Every single one I respond "Stop" then block and report as spam. But yeah it's my issue 🙄

Local politics sickos will appreciate my opening line, so at least listen for the first 10 seconds :) (cc @genderlessrodent.bsky.social in particular)

This person blocked me, and they aren't the only one with "VOTE DEMOCRAT, AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT BETTER STRATEGY, YOU MUST BE THE ENEMY!!" energy. I am a Democrat. I have worked for two Democratic Governors and interned twice for a Democratic Senator. I want Democrats to be better.

This @drmitchpdx.bsky.social ad is one of the best political ads I've seen. I have known Kay for almost a decade and it has been sad to lose her to ALS but she will leave behind an incredible legacy of advocacy. Thanks Kay and thanks Mitch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdo2...

truly do believe the fate of human civilization at this point ultimately relies on millennials not following the reactionary selfish footsteps of gen x and boomers as our generation slowly accumulates power and money

Favorite hoodie, favorite button

Does the Democratic Party really think we want (no joke) 40 texts over three days for races in state we do not live in? Does this work? Does anyone like this?

Also, this dude is using Tom McCall as his avi? Tom McCall would have HATED this guy, would have supported the Fair Share proposal (Google "McCall Tax Plan"), and then probably would have come up with a sharp zinger to dismiss him.

I am concerned about how much (or rather, how little) autonomy the City will have as part of this authority which as a whole has very different incentives and risks than the City who will be most impacted by what's negotiated.

When I am elected to Federal office, I will introduce legislation to disallow advertisements on streaming services you are paying for. My approval rating will be north of 90%.

If you live in Clackamas County, PLEASE consider running for office. There aren’t nearly enough good folks running out there.

Hey ya'll, I know we have an election we need to focus on in a few weeks, but since we're all thinking about elections anyway... PLEASE give a thought about 2028. Feel free to take a break after November for a bit (it's healthy to rest!), but really and truly we gotta get some more wins.

Ballot DROPPED 😤 and shout out to the new Belmont Library! Remember: all libraries are ballot drop sites!

He did this last time and it didn’t work so he should figure out a new strategy. It’s possible to do garbage pickup w/o displacing ppl, discarding meds, IDs, making it harder for them to get back on their feet. It’s not possible to perpetuate failed systems & wonder why the problem isn’t improving

I really like the idea of a 13th, citywide Council member as President: - It (potentially, depending on how you define their duties) gives the legislative branch a bit more power - Allows Council to break their own ties - Allows that role to be more impartial and less connected to any one district

Related: I am trying to practice protecting my energy more deliberately, which means no longer forcing myself to engage with folks who refuse to engage in good faith. This practice will be imperfect, but I hope I get better at it.

This weekend, a website popped up outlining how a host of GOP and "Portland conservative" donors are propping up candidates using progressive language to oust progressives. Today, @portlandmercury.com spoke with the creator, candidates, and backers to hear why state data analysis reveals an overlap.

Piccolo Park has been blessed by @chalkgirl.bsky.social 🙏

I just watched it. He didn't just think it and say it. He thought it. Wrote it down. PRINTED IT OUT. Took it with him. Started talking. Looked at what he wrote... THEN said it. With his entire chest.

The mayor caved to Trump, removed DEI language, and this connected developer is dropping the r slur in public meetings and calling me a burrito in racist group chats but according to Willy Week the Big decorum issue is that I’m too mean talking about racism and sexism and other isms in this space

Brian Owendoff stop being a complete piece of shit challenge (impossible)

"I’m here to collect donations for Portland Clean Air to help fight diesel pollution. If you give a donation, it’ll be matched from the city, 10 to 1." That seems... incredibly unethical. I also don't understand why this is legal. Am I missing something?

Breakthroughs are often just on the other side of when you're about to quit.

Disappointed I didn't take a picture of a @chalkgirl.bsky.social art sighting in front of the @cstpdx.bsky.social ! Will post if/when I go back that way if it's still there

I’m very critical of Tina Kotek and people need to vote for her anyway. There’s no ranked choice in this race. The governor has the power to call in the national guard, or affect voting. That alone is too important. Christine Drazan is too dangerous. Hold your nose and do it.
