When every climate-adjacent service need becomes justification for tapping the Portland Clean Energy Fund, PCEF slowly stops functioning as the transformational climate justice tool voters approved.

PCEF is already helping balance the budget!!! Roughly $740M already supports city bureaus & programs. So when City Hall asks for “just a little more” that money comes from future environmental justice investments Portlanders already voted for. 🏛️ Support Avalos 1 📧 Email Council 🗣️ Testify Monday

This week, Council passed @councilorkanal.bsky.social's Right to Know Who’s Policing You ordinance. This is about something very basic: if someone is exercising the power to stop, detain, or arrest you, you have a right to know who they are.

🗣️ It's Budget Season, Portland! The Mayor's proposed budget has officially dropped and tomorrow starting at the 9:30am Portland City Council meeting is your first opportunity to weigh in! Sign up for public testimony and stay tuned for more opportunities to be involved in the budget process!

Happy May Day, Portland! 🩷 Working people built every right we have by organizing together. Solidarity forever. ✊🏾

Portlanders voted for climate action because they understood that the crisis was real.

I’m thankful for my colleagues who worked together through these long meetings — even against tough odds — and for everyone who’s helped advocate for a people-first budget.

But at the end of the day, we need to keep having a broader conversation about how we build systems that ask those who have the greatest financial flexibility to put in their fair share.

Oversight is a healthy and necessary part of good governance.

Beijing has cut PM2.5 pollution by nearly 70% since 2013, and you can feel and see the difference. More people outdoors, more cycling and running, more green spaces. Climate action woven into everyday life looks just like this.

I guess we got a winner here..

Studios didn’t hire me because I had no experience in gaming… so I decided to make my own. Here’s my first indie game: Maseylia – Echoes of the Past. It’s an action-platformer imagined as a 3D metroidvania: backtracking, unlockable abilities, exploration, combat… And it’s inspired by Moebius.

Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.

During Pride month 2024, thanks to a fab show called Our Flag Means Death & its fantastic fandom, I came out to myself as pansexual. This year, at 50, I did a trans & queer standup course & show, & talked about my pansexual identity & not feeling queer enough. (Apologies for the lack of captions.)

With the State of the Union tonight, it's clear: Trump's policies are hurting working families right here in mid-Michigan. Tonight he's going tell us this isn't true. And DC Republicans like Tom Barrett will stand and applaud. We deserve better.

House Republicans need to be on the record. Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran is jacking up prices, making the world less safe, and making Americans' lives more difficult. Joined @alivitali.bsky.social on MS NOW to discuss why Congress deferring to Donald Trump is a deadly decision.
