Just finished my second audio book of the year (started last year) on Audible (tax Bezos).
For anyone looking for light at the end of the tunnel in the next four years, read this book by Neil Howe.

Sure seems like The Oregonian is milking @shanedkavanaugh.bsky.social’s reporting to generate some clicks and trying to drive further calls for resignation inside of 60 days from an election…meanwhile, no calls for Kathryn Harrington who flipped off fellow WashCo Commissioner Nafisa Fai this week.

Keith Wilson might just be an empty suit.
If the Blazers leave Portland it will be because of his role playing into the doom loop narrative therefore his inability to negotiate from a strong position for the city after driving our value down in the eye of their new owner.

Wait, the Portland business lobby bought an anti- @mitchgreen.bsky.social billboard but didn’t buy the domain they put in the graphic?!

Somebody forgot to check whether they owned the domain name ditchmitchgreen.com before they put it on a billboard 😈

Reporting in this town is too often used to defend power + attack those who would question it rather than the other way around.
Power is not distributed equally and a journalist’s job is to help the public analyze who has it, who doesn’t + how it’s being wielded.

EDITORIAL OPINION: In 2020, Portland protesters exercising their First Amendment rights faced rubber bullets, batons, and tear gas from the Portland Police Bureau.
Knee-Jerk Reactions to Councilor Green’s Tweets Are Hypocritical and Dangerous - Portland Mercury

Oh, look. @shanedkavanaugh.bsky.social has successfully driven a wedge between the PPB Chief and a city councilor becuase he was following up on the personal vendetta of a random fitness instructor who thinks he’s a journalist and regularly hangs with someone fired from city hall. mrf.lu/2z_n9a

There are so many people in Oregon who consider themselves progressive but are actively contributing (money, time and votes!) to the campaigns who are actively fighting progress.

Bluesky is cool and all — it’s where I have the most followers on any platform (thanks to @drdigipol.bsky.social) but the motion on Threads is crazy.
Started with like 400 followers and I’ve done almost 400k views and 35k interactions in less than 60 days.

To see how the Jade Int'l Night Market has grown over the past 10 years--along with hundreds of more affordable homes along a safer 82nd Ave--is a testament to the power of community organizing. Much thanks to APANO and the Jade District for another joyful, community-filled Jade Intl Night Market!

As a progressive, I advocated for a primary against @tinakotek.bsky.social but now it’s time to get to work electing the person we can organize around.
After a lot of pressure she recently came out in support of a statewide pre-school for all program and I intend to help her make that happen.
