#PDX DitchMitch, the Portland Business Alliance (PMC)-funded group, has already put up billboards attacking DSA City Councilor Mitch Green. But the genius local oligarchs forgot to register their Domain Name before they put it up on billboards! A supporter of Mitch Green noticed and registered it himself, and now it redirects to Green's campaign web site. https://ditchmitchgreen.com

#Oregon House Bill 4080 is sitting in committee. "At the start of 2026, only Utah had legalized plug-in solar. Eight other states have followed suit in an effort to help people lower their sky-high energy bills." https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/balcony-solar/clean-energy-plug-in-solar-panels https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/Measures/Overview/HB4080

Busy PBOT: (Sept. 2, 2026) The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will begin repaving NE 122nd Avenue from NE Glisan Street to NE Holladay starting tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 3 and continuing through Sept. 22. Crews will begin by grinding away the top layer of damaged pavement, which is work that can be done in rainy weather. As weather improves, crews will shift back to complete paving work on NE Glisan Street between 82nd and 92nd avenues, which requires dry weather to be completed, before resuming work on NE 122nd Avenue. In total, PBOT paving crews will repave 1.68 lane miles on NE 122nd Avenue. Crews will work from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on NE 122nd Avenue between NE Glisan and Holladay streets. Additional paving work on 122nd Avenue is planned for Holladay to Halsey streets and Halsey to Broadway. These segments will be scheduled after the initial segment is completed. #PBOT #Portland #PDX #transportation

This excellent history of Autistici/Inventati fills in a /lot/ that I didn't know. https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2 . Before the democratisation of translation, it was particularly hard to perceive what was going on on the ground wrt digital activism in some countries -- I'd say Japan and Italy were two I found most challenging. So you can connect this history with https://w2.eff.org/Censorship/Indymedia/ which was the US part of some of these events.
