Okay this is an interesting view: how often councilors voted for items proposed by other councilors. On this measure I think Dan Ryan is kind of uniquely a hard-line factional voter.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

A new complaint filed Monday alleges a web of new committees funded by the Metro Chamber's United for Portland PAC violated local and state elections laws by obscuring the true funding source of political billboards and filing false campaign-finance statements.

Listen Oregon. I understand Tina Kotek isn't our favorite person in the whole world, but the fact a Republican (Drazen) is ahead right now is fucking ridiculous. She's talked about lowering regulations on our air standards. Do you want that shit? Vote Kotek if you give a damn.

I’m less than 100 Portland donors from reaching the final tier of Small Donor Elections, and we have to get there before October 13th to qualify! If you or a member of your household support us but haven’t donated yet, now is the time, even $5 goes a long way 💙 secure.actblue.com/donate/angel...

anyway, i’m now only 150 new donors away from hitting tier 3, which unlocks another $100k in public matching funds. if you live in portland and haven’t donated yet, $5 counts as one of those 150 secure.actblue.com/donate/m4pdx...

There are more rapists walking free at Cornell than there are transgender college students competing in sports. Guess which ones American oligarchs want you to focus on so their Republican buddies get reelected?

yeah, i never asked for an endorsement. was not something i was seeking nor was it something i was excited about. it’s true i do have litmus tests. one of those is police accountability with teeth

PDX don't forget to support your @portlanddsa.bsky.social candidates extra hard now that those Metro Chamber consultant claws are coming out secure.actblue.com/donate/pdxds...

Small donations matter! I’m about 300 new Portland donors away from reaching the 3rd tier of Small Donor Elections which allows me to unlock more matching funds. Even $5-10 is huge! Thanks to everyone who has supported and shared our donation links 💙 secure.actblue.com/donate/angel...

Oregon GOP governor candidate Christine Drazan was hanging out with Proud Boy Leader Enrique Tarrio's girlfriend today. That's a pretty close connection to the far-right violent gang.

Here is my full statement on the tweets I made in 2020 regarding the police. The PPA, PPB, Mayor and several of my colleagues have all made statements following that Oregonian piece. The public deserves to know what I think about that and stand for - then and now.

i think it’s very good that @thesportsbra.bsky.social drew a line (the correct one) on trans rights. trans women are women. trans men are men. if your business stands for trans rights Portland will stand with you.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

I just wrote a letter to Portland City Council asking for a no vote on today's rushed and opaque stadium deal: Portland deserves better than this term sheet. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/port...

“The Moda Center renovation deal has brought out the worst in the people of Portland. There’s a palpable sense of desperation among many that if the Blazers leave, it’ll be the final blow to a once great city.” I wrote an essay on my observations of the Moda Center deal. Read more:

Until we address the fact most talented soccer players in the US can’t afford to compete because club and travel teams have snuffed rec/school ball out, this is probably going to keep happening.

I am BEGGING the state of Oregon to realize that funding TriMet helps downtown recovery. It’s not just transit bringing folks to downtown, it’s also the fact that union TriMet employees make decent wages and those dollars get directly put back into small businesses in our city.

Well, a setback can be a setup For a comeback if you don't let up But this kind of hurtin' won't heal And the end of all wanting Is all I've been wanting And that’s just the way that I feel
