I mean I hope Talarico wins but either way I'll be glad to not get daily texts from him asking for money any more, even though I've never given him any and report every text as spam At this point, my relationship with the Democratic party is simply hoping to outlive them

Updated information shows PPB killed the man and the dog. Absolutely shameful how some media talked about this man’s life like it was an afterthought, and unquestioningly put out copaganda.

I think one of the most empowering and powerful parts of living thru this period of history is how people are seeing all of the connections that have always existed right under the surface. What has been hidden is being brought into the light. We see how far the web has been woven through society.

Really interesting insights on our new election system: 💰 Spending was ⬇️, & big $$ didn't guarantee results! 🌈 The new council is more representative of the people 👍 Endorsements matter, & w/3 winners, endorsers didn't have to make trade-offs

The Councilors who desperately want to abdicate their legislative power to the Mayor in a system explicitly designed to give the Mayor more power in other ways - then not ask for more legislative power in return - ought to be made fun of.

“Describing them as “superintelligence” or “rogue models” ascribes agency to products rather than to the companies building them. This framing markets these companies’ products as “superhuman” and, at the same time, helps the companies evade accountability for their actions.”

The Oregonian felt it necessary to poll whether Mitch Green should resign over tweets he made in 2020/2021. They did not offer an option for people who agree with the tweets or do not feel they needed justification. It’s wild anyone even pretends corporate media is neutral anymore.

Here’s the full quote I provided on Friday, not Saturday, which is falsely reported in the article for some reason. Not sure why they omitted to print the second part.
"I'm not surprised the Metro Chamber is targeting me, because my office is uniquely equipped to defend popular programs like Preschool for All from their attacks and has been very successful at it. I was wondering if this PAC would ever come into campaign finance compliance or properly register the websites they post on their billboards"

eliminating I-5 for a week seems to have caused remarkably minimal disruption to Portland's regional traffic flows. so why again do ODOT, Governor Kotek and the Oregon Legislature think we should spend three billion dollars (!) to literally double the width of lanes on I-5 through North Portland?

The Small Donor Elections program means that your $25 donation to Mitch Green will be matched 10 to 1 and his campaign will receive $250 from your $25 donation! I care about Portland and I'm sick of the interests of wealthy exploiters and powerful police lobbyists taking priority.

It’s wild that the Portland Police Association suggests officers would be “met with swift and merciless condemnation and punishment” for comments akin to Councilor Green’s 2020 tweets. At a protest this year, Officer Brandon Brunelle said he’d have shot Renee Good. Most officials said nothing.
