related take here is that I’m not sure moderate dems and republicans will be thrilled with the result they get from pushing the transportation package to the 2027 long session
virginia (harris+6) is set to have a larger democratic majority than oregon (harris +14) in their state house after tonight, if you want a sense for how next year might look for the legislature

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

i don't understand how dan ryan using his public sector email constituent list to tell voters not to vote for the tax levy, a clear breach of the explicit public facing/campaign dichotomy, is somehow less of a scandal than group chat text messages
Dan Ryan using his official city email to send a novel-length email telling people he's voting No on the Parks Levy is a great endorsement for voting Yes on the Parks Levy

this is what happens when you don’t invest in transit, people: coyotes have to walk instead of taking the MAX 😔
Officials are warning people to be on the lookout for coyotes after a 9-year-old was grabbed by one in Portland’s Alameda neighborhood on Oct. 23.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

It's the fourth time in less than a year a high-profile leader with oversight of an I-5 freeway expansion megaproject has walked away.

In the Times today there’s an op-ed saying that childless women may have legitimate “private” reasons for declining to give birth. But one reason I have is not private but explicitly political: I want my life to serve as a rebuke to the notion that childbearing is women’s highest or truest calling.

NIIMBY (No ICE In My Back Yard)
Oregon has one of the most complex sets of zoning and land use laws in the U.S. Portland, under pressure from its liberal residents, is using those restrictions against immigrant detention.
To Fight ICE, Portland’s Leaders Turn to What They Know Best: Zoning
Portland, Ore., is well known for its dense laws on land use. Now, under pressure from its liberal residents, the city is using those restrictions against immigrant detention.
