Violent crime is down in Portland, homicides down by 51 percent in the first half of 2025. And the police budget still *increased* from $308 million to $316 million. But yeah, we’ve really “defunded the police” here!!

A “socialist revolution” you say? Because of the… four D.S.A. members on a 12-person city council? Which you acknowledge is stuck dealing with gridlock? Better send in the troops!

Also, two of my favorite writers/colleagues/pals nabbed noms in my ol’ category: @shokdiesel.bsky.social, my former Eater cities/union committee compatriot, and Allecia, my former boss and one-woman support network when I first started my current job. So excited to celebrate with y’all in Chicago.

I don’t care if the Featherly Bird Friend from the 2024 Target Pride Collection was designed to look like Tippi Hedren from The Birds. That is absolutely Cate Blanchett in Todd Haynes’s queer masterpiece Carol (2015), and you can’t tell me otherwise.
