Let's talk about Universal Basic Mobility! All people - no matter how much money they have or where they live - should be able to CHOOSE how they get around... and should ACTUALLY be safe. This means more than just no-barrier access to transportation: it means transforming our streets.

Scrolling check point: Portland, OR spring rain this morning.

We cannot let our most urgent problems cloud our vision for the future. At a Portland City Council candidate forum today, I talked about wanting to make sure we're not making rank-and-file staff bear the brunt of budget cuts, and that we pair a vision for our future with steps on how to get there.

A few thoughts on housing, homelessness, the need for a new housing bond, and Inner Eastside for All:

Let's talk a bit more about freeway removal 📣 - Yes, it's possible - Yes, there will be naysayers - If we don't plan and fight for it, it won't happen And yes, I am once again humbly asking for your $5 donation. We had our best fundraising day yesterday! Let's keep it rolling 🙏

In my view, the City Budget Office ought to be more independent, and Portland City Council deserves to learn about budget information quickly so that they can make smart budgeting decisions on behalf of their constituents. A brief video on this ⬇️

Related: a bike bus was such a lovely and energizing way to kick off Councilor Koyama Lane's re-election launch party, which included riding TO that bike bus with my neighbors!

Let's get rid of the Marquam Bridge and I-5 in inner SE. A few thoughts as you watch this clip: - This isn't a new idea. - We'd recover dozens of blocks of the most valuable developable land in the City. - It will never happen LATER if we don't talk about it and plan for it NOW.

Go to reps.fyi right now. Call your two US Senators and your US Representative. Tell them you need them to put their careers and reputation on the line to remove the President from office, now. Nobody - not MAGA, not your grandmother who is a Republican, nobody - can support "civilization will die."

heh

Just gonna gather some facts and my thoughts about the hantavirus cruise ship... The captain told the passengers the first person died of natural causes and the ship was safe. This was three and half weeks ago (12 April).

Kann das echt nicht anhören ohne Aggressionen zu bekommen. Ich wusste vor dreißig Jahren schon, daß das deutsche Asylrecht ein gut gemeinter Reflex auf unsere Vergangenheit ist, aber ansonsten völlig utopisch. Jeder wusste das, außer Claudia Roth.

Most of Steyer’s paid online influencers don’t even live in California. This one says she has supported Tom Steyer “from the get go” — “I do my own research, one of the people that so hold deep respect is Bernie Sanders — he has endorsed Tom Steyer.” www.instagram.com/reel/DY8_--t...

Short video on Camila Arrieta's performance for Paraguay v Colombia the other night. The 23-year-old played left wing-back in a 5-3-2. Good anticipation, a number of interceptions + some skill on the ball too. Plays club footy in Brazil for 3b da Amazonia (joined from Cruzeiro in February).

Jared Kushner, the unelected grifter. Trump and his crime ridden family, sons, daughters and son-in-law, were ALL unelected. Both times foreign & national interests hijacked the election to control the United States government. Will they ever face justice?! The American people want justice!!

In late October, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries announced his support for Zohran Mamdani, nearly four months after he became the Democratic nominee for New York mayor. I pulled together a mashup of the 17 weeks that Jeffries and Schumer spent refusing to endorse him.
