Having one of ODOT's five bosses vote "no" and request a delay on a project of this scale — one that has vast bureaucratic inertia behind it — is unheard of.

I will not stop speaking up for and making space for the marginalized. This past week has had its highs and lows. Just know this, my being called names like nigger or faggot won’t deter me.

One thing I would like to NOT hear from Oregon legislators in 2026 is that the "short session" is too short to do big things. #orleg
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Billions of dollars to ODOT for continued endless polluting freeway expansions, while TriMet and other transit agencies across the state prepare for massive service cuts.
A profound public policy failure of Oregon government. #orpol #orleg

Go to trimet.org/servicecuts to learn more about the service cuts, share your feedback this month and help us shape the future of our transit service. The survey closes Jan. 31.
Planned Bus and MAX Service Cuts
Due to a growing budget gap, we must cut some TriMet service starting in November 2025.

City Observatory continues to keep up with the "carmageddon" beat - turns out, shutting down I-5 doesn't seem to be having hardly *any* impact on traffic congestion across the region.
