TFW you find an incredibly relevant article that provides an actual confirmed date for an event, but they didn't flatten the page out properly when they scanned it and you can only read the right half of the column 😬 Anyone got the February 26, 1927 Oregonian handy?

the fair share tax ordinance is brilliant because it a.) does materially good things for the city and, b.) on a rhetorical level, exposes a lot of lies and bullshit from conservatives and the big business lobby for exactly the lies that they are. really masterful stuff, i'm beyond impressed

While from a policy standpoint I agree with you, I think it's actually very easy to understand unhoused people being unhappy with shiny new housing being built for someone else.

51 Americans spent more than $10 mil each on political donations in the 2024 election alone and DSA has won the mayor of NYC and an increasing # of Congressional seats since then. Seems like somebody would drop them $5 mil once in a while! If you are rich this is a good idea.

Most interesting part of this story is DSA has only $4.7 mil in assets meaning that a large gift could do an incredibly outsized amount of good, as opposed to donating that money to Democrats. Surprising to me no rich Hollywood lefties are writing big checks to DSA. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/n...

The truth is that most folks on the street are not thinking about housing policy or supply and demand or anything. There is a visible injustice, though, to see several hundred units of housing for students go up while you get swept constantly

Humans are sentimental creatures Also, any increase in housing supply is a long long way from trickling down to folks on the street, so I think seeing a 13-story building go up is frustrating when there are only 30 micro shelters (30 "tiny homes") for unhoused people in the entire city

They bought and tore down the old site of the Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center, which is now in a larger building across the street, to build this. Lots of hard feelings in the unhoused community about this development.

During the city club debate Torres was the only candidate to say she’d vote to use PCEF for police. The climate debate yesterday she said she wouldn’t. Novick said no both times.

Whenever anyone isn't seeking organizational endorsements, it's a bad sign. Organizational endorsements are a language of political alignment that people can parse pretty clearly. When all you give is a list of people who've endorsed you, it makes it impossible for folks to assess where you stand.

This is why I have not cut testimony short in six months of being the Committee of the Whole chair. I cannot guarantee I'll never have to (some things coming through the committee have deadlines that can't move). But I will do everything I can not to. This is your house. You get your time here.

Apropos of nothing if a city councilor resigns, their seat is filled by a vote of the remaining councilors. Then the seat is filled at the next available general election. www.portland.gov/charter/2/2/...

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.

ngl feeling really accomplished with the CEI Hub policy amendments that got through council. Mad about aviation fuel but otherwise a huge accomplishment by climate and safety advocates. Final votes still to come but barring an unprecedented ratfuck (not impossible), we accomplished a lot.

I never got to testify to City Council as a candidate, and am considering doing so tomorrow because this is about so much more than a single policy. It's about whether we are serious about the explosion of wealth inequality or not.

PPS is proposing to close 6 Title 1 schools while leaving disproportionately white/wealthy focus options mostly untouched. Calling this equity is shameful and insulting

These 14 Portland schools could close under district's consolidation plan
The school district is also proposing a host of attendance boundary changes and program shifts.
