Right now, 657,000 people in the U.S. are in jail. The vast majority have yet to be tried in court and are legally innocent. Does that look like a system built on justice?

Pie chart showing that 657,000 people are in jail in the U.S.; 426,000 are not convicted.

I assume by "going in after the hostages" you are referring to the indiscriminate bombing that killed many of those hostages.

Excellent reality check. I think it's legit to argue that having the Blazers here has real cultural and vibes value (the Oregonian editorial board did just this), but the fiscal case is marginal at best.

It seems like you might be asked to weigh in on whether to allow the ICE building to stay in Portland. I understand that even on the anti-ICE side you have competing interests and that the bureaucracy is complex. Still, I urge you to try to do your best to hamstring ICE. We must destroy it.

I'm really glad you are giving this serious thought. I'm sympathetic to the arguments from attorneys fighting for immigrants, but I worry they are not totally considering the long term. Not just how do we effectively fight ICE, but how do we end ICE.

In anticipation of the next few days I want to make it clear that the ICE Permit revocation issue is a land use question which means that city councilors will be operating in a quasi judicial manner when it gets to us after the investigation. We can be exempt from voting on it if we r deemed biased.

Austria, famously a country who has never had a problem with violence. Maybe we are a violent country because we are categorically uninterested in learning any lessons at all about how to reduce violence/crime.

Union Fan Pete @unionpete.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Great to point out. I think even a little bit of research can lead someone to the conclusion that policing and incarceration do not really reduce crime and likely have the opposite effect, creating more crime. Providing for people's needs does reduce crime.

If police and prisons stopped crime, the United States, which has the largest, most militarized, and most expensive police force and prison system in the history of the world (seriously, our police forces are larger than most militaries), would have no crime. Defund the police.
