Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's really funny how Mitch Green shut up about his socialist private business hot dog stands after the foie gras ban. Did he find out how the pigs used to make hotdogs are treated? 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I really considered running, saved up money but ultimately believed there were going to be better people challenging Clark, Zimmerman and Arnold but holy shit was I wrong. These people have no clue how politics work AND they are not offering anything that will make district 4 a better place. 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026D4 has assumed that Clark and Green will win and Arnold will replace Zimmerman. There's no other reason why the progressive candidates in D4 are so fucking bad. Jeremy guy has well-intentions but no backbone (mayor Keith is doing a good job!) and Jamey copying Betsy Johnson's eyeglasses symbol lmao 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026People are overestimating the fight legislative Dems would have against Drazan. They would approve massive cuts to our state government under the name of "fiscal responsibility" and tons of privatization under the name of "helping businesses" Everyone forgets the Dems killed Measure 110 on purpose 020
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Portland Council realized that they can "ban AI pricing" on anything & it will pass 12-0 & they can all point that they did something good for us. Rent is still way too high but at least an AI bot didn't set it or my grocery prices. Way better than public housing or a municipal owned grocery store. 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This is fucking pathetic. The foundation of democracy is strong public schools for everyone. Would love to have a politician here have the balls enough to propose banning charter, private and homeschooling here. 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026One of the best posts I've read on here and I'll add that it also strikingly shows how meager and lousy self-proclaimed socialists initiatives are here. It's all baked into making the most changes without actually changing anything fundamental. We don't even have municipal sanitation in Portland! 030
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think 6 years after 2020 you should be more mad about police brutality than less mad but anyways who wants a hot dog stand 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026We love the gerontocracy in America don't we folks?????? 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The whole I-5 closure should have been dealt with like how PBOT deals with the steel bridge pedestrian path being closed. No warnings, no updates, just "it's closed, deal with it" 020
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Maybe you should tell people Mitch. Why does Eric Zimmerman send me a newsletter every month in the mail with all the bullshit he's done and you don't? To find out what you're doing, I have to either log into this hellhole echo chamber or use my girlfriend's Instagram 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Remember when all the leftist organizations here made a big deal about the mayor's office having no real power in the new system? It's been incredible watching our trucking CEO mayor run circles around them. Don't forget about re-appointing scummy Michael Jordan as City Admin. to "not rock the boat" 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Why have none of my pro-Palestinian city council members tried to end the Portland sister city relationship with an Israeli city? It is an ethnically cleansed city 8 miles north of Gaza. But hey better focus on making 90% of Portland unhappy by doing everything to avoid calling a street "39th" 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Uh oh looks like the right wing chuds found out Portland today isn't the same as 2018 Portland. I miss the old Portland that would have beat and bloodied those TERFS 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026One of the most disappointing things about Peacock has been their refusal to talk about Portland Street Response. It's very obvious A)they are scared of provoking the Portland Police (and Chief Day is so nice & cordial to them in person!!!) and B) don't want to be associated with Jo Ann Hardesty 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The moment I knew Mitch Green did not have the juice was when he put some statement on social media defending Eric Zimmerman for not speaking out about the possible Trump troop deployment here. Putting out a statement defending your shitty co-worker that destroys your goals is so obviously pathetic 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I'm so tired of hearing about small business owners oh my god 110
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Free fare public transportation is a great socialist litmus test. Do you believe a better world is possible where there is fast frequent fareless service 4 everyone? Or do you believe whatever a 61 year old white liberal ableist consultant named Jarrett tells you is best for public transportation? 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Can someone let me know why Portland DSA supports the 2% government budget being decided by voters initiative. I always told people that asked me to sign "That's what we elect people for" so I was kinda shocked to find out a week or so ago that Portland DSA supports it? 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Portland Bluesky would support the I5 bridge replacement and rose quarter freeway expansion if Zohran did a video on why it's actually good 040
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Okay last hot take before I get off BlueSky again. Morillo is the only councilor that actually deserves to be re-elected. The rest of Peacock has been pretty underwhelming. 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It's such a shame everyone is terrified to talk about Measure 110 and how the Oregon Democrat Party fucked it all up. 020
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Wow can't believe the mayor's office would protect the police 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/08/2026All the "Portland is rebounding" stuff is centered around adults. James Beard Market is gonna be great but centered towards adults. The only "kid" thing we have planned is the Steel Bridge skatepark that will take until 2029!!!!! to build and there's a chance they'll mess up the design there too 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Hot Take: The biggest taboo subject in Portland that nobody wants to talk about is Portland becoming a community for senior citizens and nobody else. 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 14/08/2026So Portland Police hit some guy running away from them with their SUV, then sent in a dog to get beat by a metal pipe after the suspect destroyed a drone and a robot? Do I have that correct? 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Peacock's refusal to do anything about the Portland Police Bureau has led us here. Officers suing citizens for insurance payout schemes 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 05/08/2026JO ANN HARDESTY WAS ABLE TO CREATE PORTLAND STREET RESPONSE AND CUT $15 MILLION FROM THE PORTLAND POLICE BUREAU ON A CONSERVATIVE CITY COUNCIL WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO HATED HER GUTS 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I can't believe how tame and meek Portland's progressive councilors are with literally everything going on in the world. Is nobody angry? Able to take criticism without immediately conceding bullshit points? 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I hate this app ✌️ I hope everyone enjoys the smoke this summer 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 27/03/2026"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I don't know how anyone who has a soul is on Bluesky. Does everyone enjoy reading long threads about how blowing up a helicopter is a war crime while ignoring everything Israel and the USA have done over the past 2+ years. Imagine if Hind Rajab had been in that helicopter Wesley!!! 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Is there a reason why Portland "progressive" politicians jerk themselves silly over Zohran Mamdani while failing to even *propose* a quarter of the things he's trying to get implemented in New York City? Is Portland more conservative than New York City? 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Nobody is sick of screaming "they're infringing on our civil rights!!!!" and then doing nothing about it yet? 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Hate on all Twitter all you want but why is there news about a guy pulling a gun on protestors at ICE last night in Portland and the police driving by and not arresting him and ***NOTHING*** about it on Bluesky? Is the bubble here really that bad??? 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/03/2026The current state of Portland is watching tons of Timbers fans leaving the stadium with City of Portland flags with a Bank of America sponsor stamped on the flags. A bank stamping their name on the city of Portland flag is just too on the nose for me lollllll 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Last No Kings Rally was such a success that since it we got: More dead kids in the Middle East Executed American civilians on the streets Thousands of raped and sexually abused immigrant minors in concentration camps Hottest winter in Western United States History War with Iran More billionaires 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 22/03/2026It's pretty insane how many smart people on here *know* what the solution to all problems are but are too scared to implement it so we do all these bullshit discussions that don't really matter because it would be scary to talk about what actually needs to be done 100
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 21/03/2026The people who told you that Robert Mueller was going to fix everything are the ones telling you that Democrats are going to fix everything if they win the midterms 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I'm so tired of just waiting for things to get worse. That's been my entire life so far. 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Trump has summed up the American zeitgeist in two quotes. "Everything's computer" "Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen" 000
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 20/03/2026You raised almost $300k in 3 days after announcing a congressional run in a place you just moved to. You should tell everyone how you did that. 020
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 19/03/2026The Steve Novick reply-all email is great but it's kinda disappointing that *Steve Novick* is the one to say that stuff. 020
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Wow this arena is such a shithole!!!!! @tinakotek.bsky.social Take all the clean energy tax money and refurbish this dump!!!!! 020
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Oregonian running propaganda for the Trump administration by using the average amount of return money here. Average refund last year was $3,324(?!?!?!?!??) and now it's $3,676. Gee I wonder if using the average skews the data at all? Incredibly shitty reporting www.oregonlive.com/business/202...oregonlive.com 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 18/03/2026We need more American leftist songs. I have had Black & Tans stuck in my head since yesterday. Come out ya ICE & Pigs, come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you medals down in Fallujah Tell her how antifa made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Portland 010
Griffi @gettingbucketz.bsky.social · 18/03/2026America is so fucking cool!!!!!! I have a non emergency medical issue that needs a physical visit to check out because it will likely require surgery and I can't get an appointment until the end of April 010
