Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Thanks to Kate for flagging this. It's especially important because the Council no longer has any approval authority over contracting. Until Council claws that back, and without clear directives, PPB can simply enter contracts for this stuff without any check or balance.

To any of the members of the House or Senate eyeing the Big Job (ahem @aoc.bsky.social and @ossoff.bsky.social) that if you mount a movement to oust the current leadership in both chambers, it'll go a lonnng way to helping your case with the voters who are paying attention

Council is a legislative, oversight, and budget authority. Our job is to appropriate responsibly, legislate thoroughly, and provide oversight before, not after, major financial commitments are made. We can keep the Blazers in Portland without writing a blank check to a billionaire.

You do have to accept a modest life is how I feel. There's masses of wealth the elites are hoarding that could be distributed true. But wanting luxury is a trap. You just want more & more. If you want to hoard, it's a capitalist mindset. You should be ok with having what you need & some to give.

the speed at which entitled men who are invading your space and won’t back off go from “what’s up, beautiful” to “wow, fuck you bitch” the minute they are held to even one (1) single boundary is why I am not surprised to see Graham Platner go full Veruca Salt after being denied something

Now, I have always clocked the anti-anti-racism of the so-called “dirtbag Left” but this does seem a good time to point out the aggressive misogyny that elevated Platner’s “masculine” appeal as a necessary and aspirational aspect of his candidacy

I see some Platner defenders saying his critics are “centrists afraid of his leftism,” & others saying critics are “lefties applying a purity test.” There are no doubt some of both. There are also those of us who just think he’s a dishonest creep with no evidence of solid convictions.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
