Thanks to Kate for flagging this. It's especially important because the Council no longer has any approval authority over contracting. Until Council claws that back, and without clear directives, PPB can simply enter contracts for this stuff without any check or balance.

The corporations targeted by this tax that will save public services and barely touch corporate profits are for CEOs that make a TON more than their employees. Ex: Starbucks CEO makes 36M, his median employees make 17k. If we want to bring jobs, we also have to bring jobs that pay a living wage.

You can't keep talking and hoping for jury nullification if you are the type always getting out of jury duty. We need people on our side to take jury duty as a duty to fight ICE abuse, rape and murder. Pressure everyone you know to stick with jury duty. You are our only hope in this corrupt system.

Our Fair Share Tax proposal is coming to Committee of the Whole this Thursday morning at 9:30. If you think it’s a good idea to cut taxes for small businesses, raise taxes on large mega corporations, while raising more money to fund critical services then we need to hear from you.

Researching LOUD AND CLEAR, I encountered Ken “Goldfinger” Connell—and filed him away. What I found on returning is a story about the death of an old America and how descendants of an infamous drug smuggler are reconciling with the past. Read now on @playboy.com: www.playboy.com/read/celebri...

Did you know that she called every hospital in the state to remind them that they are required by state law to provide transgender healthcare? I have no idea why she isn't running that shit loud and proud, but she did do it. That is what is going to get me to knock doors for her.

Went to my kid’s IEP meeting at his school this morning. Three of the people that were supposed to be there are out sick with Covid. We are very much in the thick of it in Portland. Worse numbers than this time last year. Wear a properly fitting KN95 or better mask. Get a booster vaccine.

a lot of white queers don't understand what whiteness is, and that makes much of their interactions with queer folk of color suck, so I'll explain a little. The two facets of whiteness that are most important in this context are that it is a social and legal exemption from racial oppression.

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"
