If you don’t read the whole editorial, at least read the thread. What’s happening here is happening everywhere. We can only exact change here, and it’s our duty to do so.

EDITORIAL OPINION: In 2020, Portland protesters exercising their First Amendment rights faced rubber bullets, batons, and tear gas from the Portland Police Bureau.

Fellow Portlanders: Read the whole thread. 🧵 Then clap back at the Portland Police Bureau. Come November, I’m voting for Mitch Green again.

Perhaps Mr. Schmautz is talking about another bureau where people get fired for bad behavior? I recall Mark Kruger, known Nazi, working at PPB for decades before retiring happily. More recently an officer told a protestor he would’ve also shot Renee Good. He got some training, is back on the force.

Let's do it for Tim, Portland. No tickets necessary. No entry until 9:00 PM. Just space for one hour to celebrate and remember one of the greatest with friends. We'll be asking everyone to clear out by 10:00 PM so we can close up and get some rest. Thanks in advance for being respectful.

Do you understand now why I'm raising the alarms about attempts to defund police accountability? We have a duty to implement the voter approved community board for police accountability as promised by charter, that includes fully funded and fully resourced.

Look, I get that all of this *gestures at the world* is going on. But the great Anthony Stewart Head passes away, and I have to scroll back over 7 hours in my timeline before I even see a mention?! Really?!?! Clearly I need to seriously reconsider who I’m following.

I am against the use & continued development of GenAI. I do look forward to interfacing with an actual artificial intelligence at some point in the near future. Preferably one that doesn’t destroy resources every time it’s asked a question, and has shrugged off the yoke of its human financier.

Gentle reminder I am up for reelection, having nightmares about the budget, getting called “naive” in the Oregonian for questioning a multimillion dollar tax payer deal for Moda, and getting yelled at for funding school lunches for kids who might go hungry etc Help your tired councilor out 🫡

I’m on social media very little yet still seen far too much Star Trek AI Slop created by fans. On the surface, I get it. We’ve watched Trek characters feed prompts to computers for six decades, so it seems natural. But every Trekkie worth their combadge ought to fight modern AI & its influence.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

The push for generational change in the Democratic Party faces a test in a Chicago-area congressional district, where the top candidates span three generations: from Gen X and millennials to Gen Z. n.pr/3PD5bZ6

900 people. 900. That’s less than .0003% of the US population, which is currently estimated at 342.4 million. If .0003% feel that reasonable taxation is unfair, they’re really going to dislike the inevitable alternative.

There is only one response I want from any & all elected officials: impeach him, remove him from office, prosecute him, and incarcerate him. Any other response is useless. This is our last opportunity for a rule of law resolution.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Apropos of nothing, I’d like to point out that even when one is able to navigate through the regulatory maze of permit approval, it is nigh impossible to complete a building project if said building is reduced to rubble. Fires happen all the time. So I hear.

The ACLU wants to hear from any families with kids or anyone who was significantly impacted by the use of chemical munitions at yesterday’s protest. Please email my office so we can help connect you with their legal team.

Started rewatching Max Headroom, which I haven’t seen since it originally aired. Gotta say, of all the post-apocalyptic hellscapes I figured we’d be living in, I wasn’t expected MH to be the frontrunner. It’s as eerily prescient about corporate control as Shock Treatment is about reality TV.

Maturity is rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation and realizing the vitriol for both Wesley Crusher and Lwaxana Troi was unwarranted.
