Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.

What the actual fuck Portland Police Bureau? I don't wanna hear one more goddamn sob story about how we can't cut the police budget but we have to cut kids' bball programs + our city parks before they cut the bloated PPB. There is no reason for a vehicle like this besides oppression. None.

NMF was founded in 2017, has organizing thousands of Portlanders to submit written and oral testimony against ODOT’s freeway expansions; has been in the NYT and filed over five lawsuits. Monday is the first time NMF has been designated as invited testimony to speak to local or state government

“The polling doesn’t support this position” The polling lags public opinion by 10+ days under good circumstances after conditions change and shifts by ~30% based on public mobilization and question wording. Just do politics! You risk averse cowards! If you are waiting you are getting it backwards!

Also, it’s maddening that this isn’t widely understood but - The Democratic Party demonizing college students for 2 years, calling them terrorists, & sending cops in to attack & arrest them paved the way for the same kids to be targeted by Trump. It’s like we can’t even have an honest conversation

FFS I got death threats about making Optimus Prime the wrong kind of truck when I wrote the TRANSFORMERS movie. Do the job or get out of the way.

Yes, Trump does have political instincts. And you can often tell when Trump senses a topic is a political loser because he claims to know very little about it and starts passing the buck.

VICTORY! Portland City Council just voted unanimously (12-0) to overturn a permit approval for PGE to destroy 4.7 acres of very old trees, streams, and wetlands in Forest Park. We thank City Council deeply for your careful consideration of this land use appeal. Thank you 🌲💚🌲

We're counting votes on the council now. Councilor Green is against affirming the hearing officer report (AKA denying the land use permission to PGE). Councilor Zimmerman also against it saying adequate mitigation has not been demonstrated. President Pirtle-Guiney indicating she's going that way too

Also a funny transition from PGE’s objection to testimony outside of the record to Angus Duncan testifying almost exclusively to information outside of the record

my partner is mad at me because I didn't tell her about the frog parade (which I didn't know about) because I'm an environmentalist and I should have known about it

We'll be here posting live from the Portland City Council appeal hearing re: PGE's permit to destroy 5 acres of mature trees, streams, and wetlands in Forest Park. Huge crowd of ~250 people are here at a rally just before the hearing begins. Wide range of speakers and attendees. #pdx

Of the (few) things I respect about the founding fathers of the USA is that they were correctly worried about the dangers of tyrannical authority. Hopefully some of this is so deeply lodged in the minds of conservative judges that it will have an effect.

Cuomo, who is running in a Democratic primary in New York City, is attacking AOC and Bernie Sanders for opposing the Trump administration too strongly, which is certainly...a choice. www.thedailybeast.com/andrew-cuomo...
