We used to build MAX lines and now we’re debating whether we can afford paint for bus lanes bikeportland.org/2025/11/07/t...
TriMet says full bus lanes on 82nd are up to project partners
Here's why our transit agency is opting for less transit.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

I feel like a crazy person in a tin foil hat when I start going on about how things like this, rampant red-light running, etc are all signs of the deterioration of the social contract and how bad that is
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Public agencies should stop wasting money and people’s time on public engagement if it’s purely performance
BikePortland obtained via a public records request, letters from two law firms that intensely oppose the bus lanes. The firms represent Washman (which has two car washes on 82nd), Fubonn, and a strip mall owner.

TriMet caves on 82nd Ave transit plans as business owners threaten lawsuits
Everything seemed to be lined up for seven miles of bus lanes, but now the wheels have come off.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

I must say… all the news is really starting to get to me mentally. I’ve been doing a “decent” job coping this year but things just keep getting worse and worse. I’ll never forgive anyone that voted for Trump

I'm not a big MLS fan, but I see the Portland Timbers are playing all their games and even doing pretty well, despite playing in a war ravaged city.
And Powell's Books, the world's largest independent bookstore, is holding book readings pretty much every night.
Impressive. Like London 1940.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

The Oregon Board of Pharmacy (OBOP?) needs to pull its head out of the sand. If not, @tinakotek.bsky.social needs to yank their head out of the sand for them. OBOP is two steps behind RFK Jr., who they absolutely need to get out in front of. ASAP. 🧵 1/x
