Eli Arnold is apparently telling voters he wasn’t involved in clearing protestors in 2020 (read: beating, batoning, & gassing) but there are thousands of hours of footage & he was out there in helmet 17 and badge 1022402. Gonna go out on a limb & say it is *highly unlikely* Eli never used force.

Love how every move he makes has me doubling my future efforts to not vote for him. I would not vote for him so hard that he'd lose additional votes somehow.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

I started a second reading of Stacey Waites', "a real man would have a gun." I resonate with so much of what's explored and interrogated in these poems. Particularly those moments when your queerness is invisible to others and they are candid in a way that they wouldn't be if they truly knew you.

More than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Starbuck's CEO took home $31 million - 1,794 times more their median worker. Live Nation's CEO made $33 million - 976 times the median pay. The system has been rigged against the working class, but the Fair Share Tax starts to change that.

Banger. Frankly a salve against people weaponizing the language of accountability against survivors.

Our goal is not for every single person to feel comfortable and validated, our goal is to end cycles of harm. Fundamental change in the people who enact harm is by far our preference, but lacking that we understand that our responsibility is then to reduce or destroy their capacity to continue to enact harm on others. We don’t just sit on our hands and hope we can eventually convince them to change at the same time that their enacting of that harm continues to work in their own interest because they’re surrounded by people who think consequences for harm is the same as throwing someone in prison

It’s simply not true that “no one has a good answer on what to do with rapists.” In fact, there is a depth of feminist scholarship on exactly this subject. It’s just that people won’t engage with it seriously since none of it says “nah you gotta be nice to the rapist cause that’s your buddy.”

I prefer to take everyone at their word, to believe they are who they say they are and don’t have a secret, inner, “higher” self awaiting guidance. If someone reveals themself as my enemy I don’t try to convince them that they’re not. I work to undermine their ability to act from that position.

Here’s the full quote I provided on Friday, not Saturday, which is falsely reported in the article for some reason. Not sure why they omitted to print the second part.

"I'm not surprised the Metro Chamber is targeting me, because my office is uniquely equipped to defend popular programs like Preschool for All from their attacks and has been very successful at it. I was wondering if this PAC would ever come into campaign finance compliance or properly register the websites they post on their billboards"

No More Freeways @nomorefreewayspdx.com · 19/09/2026

Don't want to spend your life stuck in traffic congestion? Turns out, the best way to prevent traffic congestion is to stop building billions of dollars of miles of freeway and instead invest in transit.

This matters because this is an important lesson, a potential teachable moment for all of us, about how the transportation system works. Expanding highways in urban areas results in what is called “induced travel”–the greater supply of road capacity prompts people to take more and longer trips than they would otherwise. That’s why widening roads to solve congestion never works–roads, no matter how wide, fill up and become congested, like Houston’s 23-lane wide Katy Freeway which actually is slower after its most recent expansion than it was before. This is what economists now call the “fundamental law of road congestion.” And this fundamental law also works in reverse: take away some of the capacity, and as everyone of these supposed Carmaggedon’s shows, traffic evaporates. Once we understand that traffic responds to supply, we can recognize we can limit traffic by not building so much capacity.

“I just listened to the song. It’s appalling. The fact that you were able to do that is insane,” Allison, Lather of Heaven’s vocalist, told me. “The only thing smaller musicians like us have at the end of the day is recognition for the results of our work — being able to enjoy the process of creating something and putting it out into the world knowing it is distinctly a product of our own hands is essentially one of the last driving forces behind making music. It’s hard enough putting this much time and effort into the band as it is. All the members of LoH essentially tailor our lifestyles around having the time to tour, write records and record. And we do it knowing we will likely not see much money in return. The fact that someone could ruin our reputation by dropping this cringe garbage under our name is insanely disheartening and speaks volumes about distribution and streaming services that allow this to happen.”
