It's a perfect week to persuade Portland City Councilors to take action on climate and protect us from dangerous fuel corporations like Zenith Energy and I Squared Capital.
I think our Council President is managing the Moda talks situation deftly. Completely uncharted territory. Thanks for your leadership @councilordunphy.bsky.social

emily@soupmuse.bsky.social · 2w ago🚨🚨🚨 The City needs a reminder about just how much Portland cares about the CEI hub (aka the looming largest industrial disaster in US history). Tell them to do their due diligence. There’s no rushing this shit. Please show up Thursday. Even virtually. And Councilors, we’ll be watching.
This is the designated smoking area in Portland's CEI Hub in the middle of the tank farms aka ticking time bombs. We can and must do better. #StopZenith #SafetyFirst #ProtectPCEF #MomsAgainstVaping #NoBailoutsForBillionaires
Proof of recreation: My little pumpkin and I frolicked on a Columbia River beach this weekend with friends.
The CEI Hub, at the foot of Forest Park and on the Willamette River in NW Portland, is a source of Portland's largest heat island according to PSU Professor Vivek Shandas. We can and must do better. #SafetyFirst #CoolTheEarth #ShadeEquity #ProtectPCEF
Just three miles from Portland City Hall, Zenith Energy owns the largest tank farm at the CEI hub. They have a history of illegal actions here in the city. Portland can and must do better to protect people from the dangerous fuels and chemicals.
i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”
