The staff at the Starbucks at DCH are the most delightful people on the planet, but that has zero to do with it being a Starbucks and everything to do with them being delightful. Open another cafe OHSU and hire these wonderful people to continue cafe-ing in union jobs.

this is so bleak, actually imagine being called a slur for a group you don't even belong to and instead of going "wow holy shit, no one should have to put up with that, we need to hold people to account," you go "no guys it's okay I hate them too!!!" and just hand the bully your lunch money

I'm really sad y'all. I did not go into trans journalism to make "Dem capitulates on trans rights" my daily beat. It was a much better environment when I could count on everyone in our party, even the red state dems, to present a wall on this stuff. It just feels so bleak.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

Journeys to destinations including El Salvador and Venezuela could take days and cost millions. Officials cautioned that discussions are still preliminary.

When colonization came to call in the US, many folks wrote about america as a pristine Eden whose forest were filled with delights and bounty. This was because indigenous folk (Like mine) built up food forest. Things that were razed and destroyed as a part of racist violence. Colonization is ongoing

Annie Ellison tried to stop me from getting into Emerge Oregon, a program that teaches women to run for office. When I got in anyway she told me to stop talking about police accountability and the rights of the unhoused because “those aren’t popular issues anymore.”
day, goPDX sent $6,000 to "The Rally Point" —a consulting firm run by former Emerge Oregon director Annie Ellison. The goPDX PAC then sent $25,000 each to DitchMitch and fix multCo.

I think it’s unconscionable that we are willing to move heaven and earth to find money for stadiums, but seemingly incapable of doing the same to prevent the closure of schools. My constituents are outraged. They are right to be. There’s still time to fix this, but we’re going to need to lock in.
