Never forget that homelessness is a policy choice.
They would rather send in the National Guard to arrest and remove unhoused people than provide affordable housing and a living wage.
Suffering as policy.

Thank you to my peers in the BDS movement for identifying Chevron as a sponsor of the PDX City Club event series. I asked them to drop sponsorship and they’ve agreed. Solidarity includes actions of all sizes. Special thanks to Councilor Koyama Lane for leading on this.

I wrote about my brief unlikely local politics interlude for @thecut.com. Written with love for Portland & loathing for the genocidal clowns who made national politics so alienating. If you have an amazing friend maybe you can accidentally be her campaign manager too. www.thecut.com/article/how-...
Manage a Political Campaign Just to Feel Something Again
National politics made me despair. Then my friend ran for office, and I unleashed my inner political animal.

Investing in safe routes to school is an excellent investment in climate action, public health, and making education more accessible - it's critical we fully fund safe routes programming and investments in 2025. #orleg #orpol h/t @bikeportland.bsky.social

Oregon tops nation in 'Safe Routes' participation, but funding needs loom

So, I just lost an election for local office (Portland City Council). While I should probably be feeling devastated, I simply can't get over how much I love this team, or how proud I am of what we accomplished. #pdxelections #orpol 1/2
