4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

I’m unsettled by the Mayor’s newsletter today re: Moda. Rather than acknowledge that there are very real concerns about how this process has unfolded, he chose instead to cast critique as short-sighted and opportunistic in an effort to deflect from the impressive lack of rigor to date on his part.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

i am fine spending my tax dollars on schools and roads and medicine and the like. i would prefer not to spend my tax dollars on a new stadium while my teacher friends go on furlough. Oregon is in financial crisis. $200 million for a nicer stadium is idiotic.

If you haven’t heard about Bruce Campbell’s latest film, it’s likely because he’s been distributing it himself. The Evil Dead star wrote, directed, and stars in Ernie & Emma, a thoughtful, heartwarming story about a man on a quest through grief who finds more than a few laughs along the way. 1/2

We're in a budget deficit, but, hey, here's $600 million for a new arena. Meanwhile we have one of the worst education systems in the country, the highest rate of youth homelessness, and ODOT has no money. I love the Blazers, but this feels like it comes with the cost of continued human suffering...

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.
