It’s a bummer to see Annie, the former Executive Director of Oregon Emerge working so hard to unseat two progressive women of color and replace them with someone that will do the business community’s bidding.

It’s my birthday this week (the 8th). Headed into the last year of my 30’s. Some buddies are in town playing at the Crystal Ballroom on Tuesday and then I’m heading up for a couple of their shows in Tacoma. Excited for some long overdue live music from The Green!!!

By the looks of this, maxed out a donation to Kellie Torres too. Republicans see the forest through the trees - we have socially liberal (as long as they’re not poor people) and fiscally conservative politics in Portland. But class consciousness is rising and no one buys that line anymore.

As someone who voted for Steve Novick in his U.S. Senate primary against Jeff Merkley, I find it interesting that his current politics on Portland City Council has him aligned with a donor who has given $30k to Christine Drazan since 2022.

Did I miss the part where Rene Gonzalez got elected? Sure, mathematically, “Don’t Rank” campaigns may not move the needle on votes but it is an effective awareness campaign with simple messaging, which is half the battle in politics.

Sure seems like The Oregonian is milking @shanedkavanaugh.bsky.social’s reporting to generate some clicks and trying to drive further calls for resignation inside of 60 days from an election…meanwhile, no calls for Kathryn Harrington who flipped off fellow WashCo Commissioner Nafisa Fai this week.

Keith Wilson might just be an empty suit. If the Blazers leave Portland it will be because of his role playing into the doom loop narrative therefore his inability to negotiate from a strong position for the city after driving our value down in the eye of their new owner. youtu.be/O2bW-au9YaE?si

Fucking shout out to the Mercury. Reporting in this town is too often used to defend power + attack those who would question it rather than the other way around. Power is not distributed equally and a journalist’s job is to help the public analyze who has it, who doesn’t + how it’s being wielded.

This is how it is done, @mitchgreen.bsky.social. Let’s re-elect this man so that we can keep building towards a Portland that stands strong in its community values and rejects a politics of fear mongering.

Oh, look. @shanedkavanaugh.bsky.social has successfully driven a wedge between the PPB Chief and a city councilor becuase he was following up on the personal vendetta of a random fitness instructor who thinks he’s a journalist and regularly hangs with someone fired from city hall. mrf.lu/2z_n9a

There are so many people in Oregon who consider themselves progressive but are actively contributing (money, time and votes!) to the campaigns who are actively fighting progress. This is why we can’t have nice things!

As a progressive, I advocated for a primary against @tinakotek.bsky.social but now it’s time to get to work electing the person we can organize around. After a lot of pressure she recently came out in support of a statewide pre-school for all program and I intend to help her make that happen.

one of drazan’s most substantive housing proposals is . . . a bill signed in to law by tina kotek in 2025 that the kotek administration is currently implementing www.christinefororegon.com/drazan-plan/

• Expand housing choices by allowing objective approval of code-compliant housing, creating a statewide library of pre-approved housing plans, standardizing the process for construction of accessory dwelling units, modular, manufactured and tiny homes.

It’s mind boggling in the year of our lord 2026 that candidates seeking the endorsement of progressive, community-based organizations wouldn’t have better responses when we push back on their trickle down economics talking points. The ideological battle for the future of Oregon is in WashCo.

Massachusettes "Millionaires Tax", which was targeted to fund transportation and education, has been a resounding success. It has funded FREE school lunch for ALL students, FREE buses in lowest income communities (people can get to work, etc.), and FREE community college. And "exodus" was minimal.
