New by me for Sightline
In Portland’s single-stair design competition, students showcased beautiful, light-filled homes that could fit on a standard residential lot. None of them are legal to build. @maccoinnich.bsky.social www.sightline.org/2026/07/09/i...

As a reminder, the things that are so grotesque about the arch are 1) it's a monarchic symbol of triumph utterly in conflict with our values and system of government but also 2) it will break the intended sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

Talking points:
- The arch would permanently disrupt the historic sightline connecting the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Memorial Bridge, Arlington National Cemetery, and Arlington House.

i once offered to show a hapless peer how to sew the button back on his shirt. he just moved on to the next girl in his sightline without blinking.
it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing
Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”
Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Portland residents, @portlanddsa.bsky.social learned that a local company called Sightline Intelligence is shipping lethal drone tech to Israel. Take 2 mins to click & ask electeds to look into Sightline, which uses PDX area footage in its chilling promo materials: actionnetwork.org/letters/sigh...

The arch obscures Lincoln and frames Lee’s plantation. That’s not bad taste, it’s the Lost Cause made architectural. Seize the narrative, then seize the sightline. The Confederacy lost the war and spent 160 years winning the story. Now they’re pouring it in concrete.

This expert marksman is obviously visible on a rooftop, within sightline, and no one saw him? He's an expert marksman, had an open, calm shot, and missed?
The whole official story is just farcically improbable.

an alarming scoop from DSA Portland:
local company Sightline is providing drone tech for Israeli military use.
there is concern the company has developed some of its tech via surveilling Portland communities.

This morning a D3 resident testified about Sightline, a Portland based AI surveillance company that appears to be testing its tech in Portland, then selling it to militaries overseas to harm civilians.

Some great Qs: Why does Sightline feature footage of Portland in its promotional videos? Does Sightline have a license to operate drones, cameras, and equipment in the Portland area? Has Sightline conducted tests of its technology or used its technology in public spaces, such as the OHSU area? 1/2
🚨 🚨 🚨
New research reveals that Portland-based company Sightline Intelligence has been shipping drone technology components to Israeli military contractor Elbit Systems.
Is Sightline testing & training this technology on us without our consent?

For those unfamiliar with DC (and I barely am), Trump wants this on the VA end of the Memorial Bridge, blocking the deliberate open sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The *lack* of structures in that corridor is effectively part of the memorial
