An absurd amount of people started following me so let's lay down some ground rules:
Not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you.
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Trans rights forever.
I will judge you based on how you talk about homeless people.
Abolish prisons and ICE
Free Palestine
I don't believe people need a profit motive in order to perform labor, I've seen people argue on the Internet for free

Attacking women's appearances to silence their voices is misogyny.

Once you start doing stuff in Portland, you come to find out that Portland is less a city and more a small town

Went to a constituent coffee thing and had the worst photo taken of me oh my God 😭 what did I do to deserve this????

I'm usually opposed to ad hoc attacks on people I argue with....but when the same hairstylist posts nonsense about my City Councilor, I can feel the bitchy devil on my shoulder start to rise

One of the retorts I hate the most about housing is the "well why don't you house someone?"

And it's frustrating because a lot of people do, actually! If you've let someone couch surf at your home, you are housing someone temporarily. My family has done it multiple times with different people

So after seeing Dan Ryan's non apology, I'm honestly more angry than before

I'm especially angry at EPG seeming to selectively decide what does and doesn't count as being "on topic". Honestly low key racistly selective.

If you're more upset by how a marginalized person responds to disrespect than you are about the original disrespect......you're the problem

How people decide to treat and talk about the homeless and the incarcerated shows you their true character.

I'm going to be real with you, I can't imagine starting a meeting at 9:30 and *still* being in that same meeting a full 9 hours later.

Absolutely not

Some of y'all mispronounce Spanish last names and your disrespect is infuriating

There's a specific irony in using the politically correct term for unhoused people/homeless people and then advocating for the continued violence against the very people

I absolutely have a name that I pretty much only use when I order coffee. Not because I'm considering a name change but because my heart sinks every time a barista asks me how to spell my name.

It's honestly just easier to give a different name that no one needs help spelling

The Portland Clean Energy Fund creates climate jobs for Portlanders installing solar panels and heat pumps to save working families money on energy costs, and make our air cleaner and city greener--especially in more vulnerable neighborhoods like mine that have seen generations of under-investment.

Kinda fucked that we do elections the way we do. What do you mean that someone needs to have good politics and be highly charismatic and a good communicator? And there's evidence that they get bonus points for being hot?

That's not a sustainable system

When you have a party that's more focused on being a "big tent" and focused on winning, this is what you get.

There are no cohesive values that bind them together except that they are not Republicans. We need a new party with actual standards but for now, vote out the spineless

I'm glad the Democrats seem to be celebrating Mamdani's win but it's absolutely infuriating when taken in the context of how many pushed back on him and denied him support. That on top of how many people were happy that Fateh lost. Like......some of y'all and go fuck yourselves

One of the things that's been frustrating about politics is how many of them have prepared for years to get into politics. It leaves so many of them insulated from the working class. How would politics change if they had friends who saw first hand the effects of privatized medical transportation
