I don't plan to practice self-care in 2026, but I do plan to start refusing to be on hiring/endorsement panels if they schedule the interviews back-to-back. That's almost as good, right?

Good news, bad news from tonight's CRC meeting.
Good news: City staff showed up and answered some hard questions thoughtfully and candidly.
Bad news: The transition to a new form of police oversight is probably going to take longer than even my worst prediction.

This year I spent two full weeks of my life in volunteer meetings, mostly in my local and for the Citizen Review Committee, but also for Multnomah County and Metro.
I love this city, but this has been the most grueling year of my life... well, except for next year.

Celebrated two years in public service, today. It's been a wild ride, but I'm endlessly grateful to be able to do this work on behalf of Portlanders. The view isn't bad, either. 🖤

Staff are picketing in front of City Hall, where their office is located.
It’s already made an impact. According to the Council President, enough councilors have refused to cross the picket line (including her) that today’s council meeting has been cancelled due to lack of quorum.
