Tammy got the natl endorsement. She’s awesome. We NEED new state leadership. It’s clearly the bottleneck here in Portland.
DSA is endorsing Tammy Carpenter for Oregon State House, and we need your help to win 🌹
Dr. Carpenter is a proud member of @PortlandDSA running to fight for universal healthcare, fully-funded schools and a renters’ bill of rights ✊

Progressives’ win condition has two prerequisites:
1) convince us that reform is necessary.
2) convince us that reform is possible.
This behavior makes sense when you realize the opposition is retreating from battle 1) to battle 2).

Looking forward to this improvement on sw alder. I don’t always know the best way to travel east via bike, and this clears that up. I emailed the project asking for hardened bike lanes.

We’ve lost this technology
Sidenote: In this early postcard of the Hawthorne Bridge, you can see that there used to be little waiting shelters for pedestrians on either side of the lift segment. At this time, the streetcars ran in the outside lanes of the bridge, so conceivably could have picked passengers up at these points.

Marie trying to understand immigrants under siege by right-wing death squads: "Imagine a bratty child at recess."
In a government that is increasingly bent around the power of one man, my vote to keep the government open reflects the urgency for Congress to maintain its oversight role. This isn’t recess. You can’t just take your ball and go home.

For the price of Two crosstown subways, you could have…. One I-5 Bridge Replacement Project
We have a proposal for the 125th Street crosstown subway and we have an initial price tag ($7.7 billion). Now it's time for the MTA to figure out how to make it cheaper nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/03/d...

For the fun factor, we should just build a $40m social housing complex at pioneer square
The Portland Housing Bureau has found roughly $20 million in additional unspent funds, two city councilors say, on top of another pot of $21 million that the housing bureau found late last year.

While signature gathering to save transit throughout the Bay a person asked me why I was doing it.
I explained the looming cuts and the importance of transit
They said "yeah I get that, but shouldn't the government just raise taxes to fund transit? Why do you have to gather signatures?"

We should be angry that peaceful protestors - including families with kids - got tear gassed by feds today.
And I’m still angry that in 2022, Oregon lawmakers reversed a tear gas ban passed in 2021. Many lawmakers who voted “yes” to rollback still in office today.

My 1st time getting tear gassed. hate the little Nazi boys with guns we pay to shoot children.
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
