I think it’s honestly disgusting and deeply unserious that the Revoke the Permit people have clipped videos of my women colleagues eating pizza at the dais as some kind of shaming tool, which is now being used by right-wing media to harass them in misogynistic ways. Congrats everyone.

Would just like to make it a single month without some sort of horrific and violent vitriol ginned up on the worst corners of the internet weaponized to demean and attack some of Portland’s best and brightest and most dedicated young elected officials

Welp, it looks like the Portland Metro Chamber’s solidarity with the community against ICE and a federal invasion ends at charging an impact fee to property owners who would rent their properties to detention facilities that harm neighbors & drain public resources.
Can’t say that we’re surprised!

Since Dan Ryan is ok with criticism of his policies “all day” I just want to point out that he’s 100% aligned with MAGA in his vote against the ban on AI rent-fixing.
Huge @tinanguyen.bsky.social scoop: Trump is preparing to try and ban all state AI laws, going so far as having Brendan Carr’s FCC pull rural broadband funds from states that try to regulate AI www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Here’s the Trump executive order that would ban state AI laws
Trump is launching an all-out broadside against states with strict AI regulations.

Today Portland City Council will have a final hearing and vote on my Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban!
So grateful for leaders like @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for leading the charge in the courts. Corporations should not be taking advantage of regular people for profit. Affordable rent NOW!

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals.

Disagreement on policy is welcome and reasonable, but calling me a Nazi for cosponsoring an ordinance to ban price-fixing is completely unacceptable. Councilor Ryan edited his post, but did not disclose the edit and explain the nature of the substantive change, so it’s here for posterity.

This scolding, patronizing tone towards the sitting city councilor doing the most work to actually advance their agenda is a good way to make sure I never give them a dollar

To those who say that I’m out of touch with the views of my district I say this: I ran for this seat to represent those who don’t get a voice. Who don’t have traditional access to power. You probably won’t hear their voices at a neighborhood association, but they still exist and I am their councilor

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Call @merkley.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov and tell them no money, no volunteering, no support of any kind until they publicly call for Schumer to step down from leadership.

Everything in the economy is fine and you’re actually a stupid reactionary if you, personally, are suffering more than your parents did and don’t think that’s right.
This is a fact.
A large share of politics coded as “left” on this site is in fact reactionary nostalgia - an inchoate belief that times were better in the good old days and nebulous forces have taken that from us.

“…stewardship it takes to solidify and sustain philanthropic sponsorships and financial partnerships...
Eliminating partnership development during this current and soon-expiring levy was a mistake that is impossible to justify.”

Interesting, 11th hour update: Councilor Dan Ryan has come out in opposition to the Parks Levy renewal, splitting from the mayor and his 10 city council colleagues.

I wanted to respond to one question from the press conference.
So…are city councilors going to do the same thing to local companies supplying arms to Russia?
Let’s be clear, city councilors don’t need to do this because the US (and entire West) already heavily sanction Russia.
