There are a lot of reasons to dislike Zimmerman but this social media post is inexplicable. How can you trust judgement like this, that can't even small talk the weather.

i want to confess that while living in alaska, i severely underestimated the threat posed by a maga governor candidate, and did not fight hard enough to prevent a mike dunleavy win. he then went and destroyed a lot of the state and made material reality very hard for the most vulnerable people

Curb space is public. Price it like it matters, and the "reliable parking" everyone wants shows up on its own. Give it away and you get waitlists, spillover, and a TDM program working against its own stated goal. /end

I hate to be alarmist but it's likely a Torres election will put Portland well into rizz bankruptcy.

Kellie Torres high-fiving a washed out Oregon House representative so uncool he makes Steve Novick seem like Keanu Reeves.

It's telling that every single photo on Kellie Torres's campaign site is either 1) from a photo shoot or 2) from the kickoff canvassing event. How does someone running for office have basically zero photos of themselves out with community members?

Something I first came across reading Ultra Processed People, was the definition of UPF not as ingredients, but a system: foodstuff products designed to make you consume more. The job of UPF, or soap, is not to feed, or clean, it's to *sell more* for the capitalists behind these corporations.

If Portland zoning only allows mid-sized apartment complexes along arterials, shouldn’t the zoning also allow small, 3-4 floor apartment buildings along greenways, which are designed for denser forms of transport (i.e. bikes/scooters)?

When you experience a catastrophic crash, it is a secondary trauma to learn that auto insurance does not protect you from financial ruin. When my 1yo son was killed in 2010, the liability minimum in OR was $25,000 (still is!) and our health insurer was first in line to collect the settlement.

The thing triangulating Democrats seem unable or unwilling to internalize is that the right wing thinks people who espouse liberal and leftist views are full of shit. Walking those views back, from their perspective, doesn't win their support but rather confirms their priors.
