We were told up and down by state legislators that the retreat from M110 wouldn’t, somehow, result in a return to padding already bloated police and prosecutor budgets. But hey, I guess the Yamhill DAs really wanted that office remodel! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Multiple surveys showed that, if they had to choose, Portlanders would cut Police to save Parks. There are multiple councilors (myself included) proposing cuts to the police budget increase to reallocate back to community programming (Parks, rental assistance, etc) This is a very new City Council

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

Okay, take it to the ballot then. 🙂 If you think Portlanders overwhelmingly want to force us to double police staff in exchange for basically everything else, go for it. I'm being serious, put your paid push polls to the test, & ask voters to spend $300m more on police. www.wweek.com/news/city/20...

Let food into Gaza NOW! Netanyahu and his government are starving 2 million civilians. This is day 76 of the blockade. Trucks with food are waiting to get in but are blocked. Children have already died from withholding food. The U.S. is complicit in this gross violation of international law.

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Hey isn't it weird that every single AI lab is saying that their ultra-powerful flagship AI model is just around the corner, but it isn't ready yet and you can't see it and they don't know when it'll be done? Isn't it strange that everybody is having the same problems?

While the future removal of #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix is disconcerting, it has little to do with lack of viewership or anything nefarious. We’ve come to learn the license for S1 is up June 24, and S2 Dec 31. We hold out hope someone will pick it up. The next generation of trek fans deserve it.
