The City of Portland has long argued Zenith Energy's land use credential is a simple administrative decision. Environmental advocates today sued the city, arguing state law requires a "quasi-judicial" process, meaning the public has sufficient notice and opportunity to comment.

“The goal is not to grow this system (of shelters),” Kotek told the House Committee on Housing and Homelessness. “Shelter is not the goal. Rehousing is the goal.” But Kotek said safe, available shelter is a necessary portion of her larger plan. More from @lmonghughes.bsky.social 👇

There was going to be a lawsuit regardless, either from zenith or Portland citizens. Thanks to those citizens we now also have a city council willing to step up. Thx to Jeremiah & @streetroots.bsky.social for amazing coverage!

“You can come up with a lot of ways in which this goes sideways very quickly for mountain communities, for forest communities and for anyone who lives in the wildland urban interface.” Everyone should be reading @aprilehrlich.bsky.social reporting on Forest Service cuts & what it means for Oregon.

To be clear: We are witnessing the dismantling of our firefighting system, leaving wild lands dangerously vulnerable to catastrophic fires. Not just on federal lands —This could weaken our mutual aid firefighting across the board. If you live near wild areas, prepare yourself and your family.

For months we were told a ceasefire could not be reached mostly because Hamas refused to release hostages, but the disparity in the number of Israelis v. Palestinians being released is staggering. The “prisoner” or “hostage” label does a lot of work here.

In the next few weeks I'll be introducing a process to submit your policy ideas to me. I've been cooking up this idea for a while now and I'm excited to try it out! My entire motivation to enter politics is to change the paradigm and return the power to the people. Y'all ready to lock in!? 💪🏾🫡

Great piece on academic writing vs narrative reportage. Rothman also nails how an otherwise laudably intense focus on text can close off talking. I'll ask students: "Did you contact the author of this study?" No, they didn't. Writing has a person behind it, & they're a source too.

Reporting is that all the kids with measles in Texas outbreak are unvaccinated, but something important to realize is that, because this vaccine is not 100% effective, anti-vax parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids also risk the lives of other people's children who have weak immune response

Four city councilors have co-signed a resolution seeking an investigation into Zenith Energy's potential franchise agreement violations and asking the City Auditor to investigate recent "competing statements" by public officials. Councilors requested an addition to the full council agenda on 2/19.

Probably one of the biggest issues affecting the West with the federal chaos over hiring is whether there will be enough firefighters this summer.
