What city was George Floyd murdered in?

Genuinely - did I miss her call out Jeffries/ask for his resignation when he did not whip the vote against ICE funding in late January?

Just watched a car run a red light in front of a cop car by the Burnside Fred Meyer and they did nothing. I hate this city man

Seriously! The city could get up off its ass and write new taxes that go after big business profits like PCEF does. Instead we've chosen to pick at PCEF funds over and over again like it's a scab.

Why are my 'socialist' councilors scared of taxing the rich in this city?
"PCEF isn't your money. It's our money. We built the fund. We will never let it go." - Alan Hipolito, a very well-respected climate justice advocate delivered testimony that basically told councilors to get their frickin' hands off the PCEF $$ and do what the committee recommended.

Pretty tone deaf for councilors to not say anything about the police murdering someone last week and then celebrate the toothless police accountability board being rolled out imo

Is everyone enjoying their warm February!?!?! It's so cool we don't talk about global warming anymore! Such a 2018 topic!

Remember when Portland DSA protested the Trail Blazers for having a partnership with a rifle scope company that gave some scopes to the IDF but now it can't protest an actual IDF soldier playing for the Trail Blazers actively sportswashing a genocide cause ????????

Did you see your guy Bob Weinstein get kicked off the Board?
February 11, 2026 at 10:41 PM
You don't want to sportswash a genocide???

PCEF funds being used to launder Israel 😭

We're getting closer and closer to the 2027 depicted in Children of Men. In the movie, the world is ending cause a baby hasn't been born in 18 years, in our real world it's because we don't wanna overthrow our child rapist leaders

As someone not as keyed into city politics... What does this mean? They're gonna have a meeting where they tell each other they suck?

Just saw an old guy bike by with "Israel out of Gaza" sign on his bike and another sign calling Wyden an Israeli agent...

Really pretty but depressing that these are the trains for the most populated cities in the Northwest when in China they'd be commuter rail trains for their 78th-122nd-91st biggest city route.
There's a national media event unveiling our new Amtrak Cascades trains in DC today. Here are some photos for you to enjoy! The Cafe Car is even stocked with our PNW favorites.

Is there an example of what a retrofitted coal plant looks like?

Does anyone know if the secretary of state posts Oregon governor results by demographics? Or where to find them?

I did a little searching last night but could only find county results. Would love to know the age/race/gender breakdown of the 2022 election between Kotek, Drazan and Johnson.

r/Portland's favorite politician
February 10, 2026 at 6:04 PM
We're staring down the barrel at Democrats getting elected cause Trump Bad and another "Return to Normalcy 2.0" but remember politicians can never fail their constituents, only constituents can fail their politicians.

It sure is a bummer we didn't tax any of these huge job shedding corporations in Oregon when they were making 10s of billions in profit every year to build infrastructure!

This is the future of Oregon Tina Kotek has proposed by building senior housing in the outskirts of suburbs
Video from yesterday: 92-year-old driver loses control of her vehicle and crashes into Los Angeles market, killing 3 people and injuring several others. No indication the crash was intentional.

So the solution to senior housing is to bulldoze nature to build trailer parks for seniors on the outskirts of towns. Very cool!

What the fuck are we doing here?!?! I hate that nobody gives a shit about how awful Kotek is
House Bill 4082 is aimed at spurring the production of senior housing and manufactured homes, the governor says.

A quarter of a billion budget would be $76 million cut!!!! They got $238 million in 2019/20.

It really is fucking pathetic. They went on a work strike and have gotten almost $100 million more since then and we got our councilors with their thumbs up their ass doing nothing.

PPB just killed someone in their own apartment and used tear gas and a drone to torture him before doing so.

There hasn't been any noise about it.

I'm sure we'll get thoughts and prayers and speeches on how things need to change when the council is paying out a settlement in 3 years.
