This is not wrong. Mamdani could do the funniest thing ever.
If Mamdani could meet with Trump every day we’d have Medicare for All by the end of January.

something profoundly broken about people weaponizing their children as a reason that we should continue to invest in sweeping the homeless. Why is sheltering your children from having to see poverty and injustice more important than just building a policy where we eliminate poverty and injustice?

Fucking bring it. THIS IS WHY WE SAY RUN ACTUAL, HONEST SOCIALISTS. It's not fucking complicated. You can just walk over the billionaire machine if everyone just stops punching left for like five seconds.
MSNBC: Over 2 million votes cast in NYC mayoral election. Last time the number hit that was 1969.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is
- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)
- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)
- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

The only "trans agenda" is to live authentically.
Removing trans rights, banning trans people from sports, taking away care for trans people puts you on the wrong side of history.

Today feels like a very good day to talk about why I praise Democrats when they do the right thing.
Everyone wants to be praised. Someone commented on one of my posts, as a gotcha “what are they, dogs?”

City council should look into making Downtown an annual Parking Permit Zone (Zone Z or something) available to employees of Downtown businesses and residents of Downtown. Allow 4 hour visitor parking. Eliminate *metered* street parking in the Downtown neighborhood altogether.
I’ve been having a little fun on here today, but in all seriousness: there is a very real threat that Portland enters a vicious cycle where declining economic activity-> low tax revenue-> service cuts -> further declining economic activity. Zero cost policies that activate space fight against that.
Do you wish you lived in a city where you could simply buy some street food, like a delicious hot dog, while boppin around the city? Then you're going to want to submit written testimony or sign up to speak in favor at the Arts & Economy Committee next Tuesday.

Portland is already the greatest pizza city in the world, beating flyover townships like NYC or Chicago. But, we're living in their shadows when it comes to street food. Are we going to let that stand?

Remember the folks who lost their minds at the spaceship scientists in Prometheus being absolute idiots with death wishes?
They would hate episode 5 of Alien: Earth.
Corporate-employed space scientists being dumb is half the point of the franchise.

I can't remember what rank I put Mitch Green in, but 2026 I'm ranking him #1
no. see, i don’t care about staying in power. i care about fighting for the values and goals i campaigned on, and during that campaign i looked people straight in the face and said if i only get one term but we get things like social housing then great. and they elected me for it.
You're currently aligned with the fringe. If you wanna stay in power, drop the extremism, rebuild trust and maybe we can talk about functioning, civic places

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
