Jen Taub@jentaub.bsky.social · 2d ago“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...
If you haven’t been a fan of Wilson’s mismanagement of the administrator’s office, his lack of understanding of literally anything, his PMC-fueled love of Zenith and support for Dundon, and his criminalization of homeless folks, don’t vote for his favorites.
Portland Jobs with Justice@jwjpdx.bsky.social · 3d agoOk, the guy behind "Project Mt. Hood," "PCEF for the Moda Center," and "1000 Shelter Beds" wants you to take his advice:
“If we ban sports betting, the people at those companies will lose their jobs” good
Uh, where’s the Business Roundtable letter about this?
Khanh Pham for Oregon@khanhphamfororegon.com · last wk.Update from @trimet.org today: Without additional revenue, TriMet's budget deficit will ultimately force the agency to cut in excess of 33% of its total service by 2030 or 2031. This is what a 31% service could look like:
I feel like we need to learn the lesson that when white guys run for office on the basis of being good at business, all that means is they are rich enough to campaign. It certainly doesn’t mean they’re good at negotiating or leading.
What a fucking embarrassment of a weak-kneed spineless mayor we have. I knew it from the jump and it’s too bad so many people voted for him.
Rip City Not Rip Off@ripcitynotripoff.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is my final word on the Moda Center saga. This Wednesday, the vote to spend $1.1B of taxpayer funds is going to pass. If you think you ever had a say in the matter, you were lied to. Everyone got what they wanted in the end. Everyone but you. www.ripcitynotripoff.com/everyone-but...
We'll be live-skeeting one more time tomorrow. Our message to City Council: It's never too late to do the right thing.

i've been chewing on why i think this is so great, and i think at bottom it's that it's such *ordinary* speech. clearly she's thought about this, clearly she has values she's comfortable expressing, but she's not speaking as though she's Making A Political Statement. just plain, earnest language
Your Evil Twin, Skippy@twinskippy.bsky.social · 2w agoGolden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”
After a couple of weeks getting acclimated, Joey is proving to be an amazing rescue buddy! He is sweet, silly, loves a walk, playing, likes other dogs and people, and he isn't so hard to train. He does enjoy carrying shoes to his bed though, but he doesn't chew them. He just likes shoes, I guess.
Support your City of Portland employees! We do all the things! As fast as we can! We are currently bargaining for an equitable and sustainable contract.
This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning
We just got this new buddy from the Oregon Humane Society, and so far, he seems like he is going to be the goodest boy.

Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · last mo.Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves says the state "will help youths who are able to be helped, while also holding those who cannot be helped accountable" under a new youth court reform law he signed. He accused Democrats of trying to allow "violent youths to continue wreaking havoc on their communities.”
You are probably doing the right kind of journalism if billionaires are suing you.
WIRED@wired.com · last mo.A statement from WIRED leadership.
It really bothers me that Jody Allen sold the Blazers to Tom Dundon because she hates Portland and wants the team to move. These selfish mercurial billionaires care nothing for the communities they impact. It shouldn't be this way.
I had a vague notion that Tulsi Gabbard was in an actual cult, but this shit is WILD. It seems almost small amidst all the insane shit our government is doing, but the fact that the head of National Intelligence was taking orders from her cult leader is completely bonkers. This is our country now.

Would you rather be attacked by one horse-sized Mamdami, or a hundred Mamdami-sized horses?
To the suprise of absolutely no one, it seems Mark Zuckerberg cannot make his wife come.
When we look back on the Mayor’s one term, it will be obvious how many of his missteps and bungles came from following Donnie Oliveira’s lead.
Fischer 🛠️🚇@fischer.bsky.social · last mo.I think the implication here that the mayor agreed to start lobbying the state for a fully publicly funded renovation before really ever attempting to negotiate with the blazers is quite damning
Maine officials search the rocky beach for a new senate candidate. They find an unconscious man clad in tattered rags washed upon the shore. The sea provides for Maine, it always does
Just read a post explaining that the US don't/can't produce world-class footballers because they their youth set-ups are too expensive and honestly what level of nightmare capitalism do you need to operate on for the sport that requires nothing but boots and a ball to be prohibitively expensive.
