On September 17 in 1787 the US Constitution was adopted as the central governing document of the United States. Today, 17 September, is recognized as Constitution Day and also Citizenship Day. #constitution #citizenship #beantifascist #pdx #fuckice #immigrants

My friend, Luke Klincewicz, introduced me to PDX Sliders when it was just a food cart in Sellwood. The sliders have always been good and now that at least one of their locations is Union, I'm all for it. 4232 N Williams #pdx #union #beantifascist #wheretoeat nwlaborpress.org/2026/09/work...

PDX Sliders hired Ogletree Deakins, a management-side labor law firm that specializes in “union avoidance.”

Excellent. This is a great response to the terrible "process" that the Moda Center negotiations have become. Know better, do better. #goodgovernment

Seen at my favorite coffeeshop. I paired it with some of my hand bound US Constitutions. #fuckice #USconstitution #pdx Drink coffee, fight fascism #beantifascist

It's their coup. It's a Republican coup. Trump is trump is a tool. The GOP should never hold power again at any level of government. #coup

Yes, and…it takes a continuum of efforts in the right direction. I guess, if this goes into action, we'll have to be on top of it to make sure it *doesn't* turn into them being more harmful.

My experience with the Downtown Clean and Safe hired security has been largely positive—much better than with police. I used to be down there weekly and we were/are very friendly with all that worked near where we served meals. So, could it be a net positive if done well?

Finance is not my strong suit. Could this have been funded out of the TIF district that was recently created? Or, is that only for "hard" infrastructure? Aside from funding it seems like the TIF had a lot of community involvement.

It's not just trump. It's a coup by Republicans. It's a GOP coup. None of this happens without them. Hold the GOP AND trump responsible.

Was in line at T-joes when the person ahead of me offered this “fuck ICE” finger. I gave her a pocket constitution in return.

If you're interested in knowing what's *actually* in the lease, Councilor Avalos posted a link to some of the pertinent documentation. She's making it as easy as she can for us to understand what's going on—not just what others want us to think.

I support police accountability for a host of reasons, including my personal experiences with them AND solidarity with folks who have been treated poorly.

No. They are proposing taking funds from PCEF *interest*, not PCEF principal.

@councilordunphy.bsky.social , D1 Resident, here. Just wanted to be sure you knew that I oppose redirecting any funds from the Police Accountability effort. I feel as though there is an only a tenuous amount of control over PPB. They need to prove they serve the public, first and foremost.

No way should we use PCEF funds (not the interest) to pay for cops. I'm still not convinced they're even going to protect citizens. Look at how they've behaved at Macadam ICE protests. They serve us not the Feds. Our only effective leverage over them is (seems to be?) funding.

Marcus Kaneshiro @marcuskaneshiro.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
This was a little too chaotic for me. I also think there wasn't enough of an emphasis on the role of corruption and government and how they are (seemingly?) inextricable. I know that was said at the very end, but again, not enough emphasis…for me.

Marcus Kaneshiro @marcuskaneshiro.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Yes, this is an underestimated impact. Whether they actually changed their positions, it revealed how strong the support is for clear, moral, people centered positions. Establishment Dems have to pay attention.

I didn't see them compare our "Point-in-time" count (without the additional county data). Did I miss that? Would it still have shown an increase?

@councilorgreen.bsky.social kudos for withdrawing your amendment to strike MP14 at today's meeting. I appreciate both the sentiment that drove it and your subsequent willingness to change your mind…especially in such a public way. I consider this real "good faith" governance.

Keep up the pressure on Congress, especially if you have a Republican Rep/Sen, but don't expect much. This is a Republican coup and the real remaining power isn't in Congress, it's with us. Ask yourself, of all the impeachable things Trump has done

This amendment failed, but listen to the argument. She is right. We need to treat the Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF), like the "transformational" engine it was envisioned to be—not a backstop to core city services.

It seems to me that this is happening as part of a Republican coup. As such, once we have power again, couldn't we just declare it all null?

Good job! Unsatisfying result, and this regime needs the spotlight on them. They will have to be held accountable for their failure to comply with oversight. It needs to hit the little guys, too. They need to know that complying with unlawful orders is a problem for them.

Especially since it seems like they barely acknowledge who they are really supposed to serve. It’s our most significant leverage.

Councilor Avalos made a great argument for why process, as tedious as it can be and for as easily as it can be tossed aside as "bureaucracy", is also highly valuable. Especially when you're trying to build in fairness and build up trust. #process #equity
