Will I ever get tired of ragging on "Go Portland Go"? Perhaps, but today is not that day. 95 followers is quite the groundswell of support. </sarcasm>

Go Portland Go, a screenshot of the Facebook follower count with a whopping 95 followers. reads "95 followers • 0 following

This guy and our "core value of warmth and hospitality runs deep in our blood", but these homeless people deserve none of it.

"Since `978, our restaurants have proudly served as an admired and cherished part of our community's fabric." Michael Gibbons--Partner, PPH Inc.

We have always maintained
that our business should remain
politically neutral, warmly opening
our doors to everyone.
“Gemiitlichkeit”—our core value of
warmth and hospitality—runs deep
in our blood. Yet, as growing issues
threaten property, safety, and the
overall quality of life across
Portland and its downtown core,
we faced a defining choice:

stand up and speak out, or pack
our tent and move on.

The raft of negative comments on the "Go Portland Go" "Normies" ad on Facebook are restoring my faith in Portland to see through the absolute bullshit being forced into their gullets like a fattened foie gras goose.

Is "Big Pink" now the official name of the U.S. Bancorp Tower? US Bank is no longer a tenant in the building; their branding (still visible in streetview) has been removed; and the leasing website is at www.bigpinkpdx.com

Portland Jobs with Justice @jwjpdx.bsky.social · 18h

"Business and Labor." To state the obvious, Labor isn't a monolith. And you should know that there is significant daylight between the social justice unionism of Jobs with Justice (and many of our members, frankly) with the politics of the Portland Metro Chamber.

“That trend line in one direction and that consistency with what we saw in 2022, plus 40 years of Democratic victories in (Oregon) gubernatorial elections, it’s hard for me to ignore that,” said John Horvick, senior vice president of DHM Research. It might be hard, but Horvick sure does try!

I worked with her many many years ago, and this was her thing even then. It’s why, despite thinking she’s a very nice person, I won’t rank her on my ballot. She will sell off our public assets because it’s one of her beliefs.

It's housing, healthcare, raising wages, better working and living conditions, and--the one that really burns their asses: taxing the rich. That's socialism. It's the things that everyday people care about. You know--social things.

To clarify "isn't any different"-- Lots of tech has been a net-negative societal impact and has enabled mass data collection and profiling. Twitter is basically a brain-washing site at this point. But we still are micro-blogging.

Interesting afternoon getting a preview of the new features coming to attie.ai including a new way to create shareable websites. Here's my first very modest attempt (only one data entry atm): (this idea was generated by @attie.ai based on a recent post)

Today’s Fair Share Tax testimonies were inspiring and reminded us that we can make progress when we unite to address economic inequality. We deserve an economy that empowers working families and small businesses and strengthens our neighborhoods, not one that benefits only those at the top.

I know which city councilors show up to have a round table conversation with homeless youth in Portland, and which councilors show up at conversations with cops and rich developers.

Cory Doctorow coined "enshittification" for internet services that get worse over time but I think it applies to cities too. This is why we need progressive leadership.

Ranked choice voting gave us true representation and Morillo’s voice is only “divisive” if your reference point is every council member owned by those profiting from the status quo. In my Portland, Morillo’s voice is the future 🔥

Portland used to have an amazing, internationally renowned city block of incredible food carts. They destroyed it to build a fucking Ritz Carlton that sits empty.

This is honestly surreal. We are 5 Portland donors away from the 750 Portland donors needed to unlock another $100,000 in matching funds from the city. We have completely maxed out tier 1 so we won’t receive more matching funds until we meet the 750 threshold. Can you donate $5 at the link below?
