Hannah Arendt did not mince words, did she?

'Totalitarianism replaces all first-rate talents with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.'

From "The Origins of Totalitarianism" (1951)

On February 4, we’ll be honoring Rosa Parks and her contributions to the civil rights movement. We will not be collecting fares on our buses, MAX and LIFT.

Portland Streetcar and @ctranvancouver.c-tran.com will also join us in not collecting fares.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
 
That’s what we have to change.

Or giving you a "thumbs down" at a pdx city council meeting
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Not my district, but I dont think this person should be reelected.
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (one of 7 Democrats who just voted to fund DHS) defends her stance.

Argues funding for ICE "is not the question." Instead, Senate Democrats have leverage for various demands.

"I think they could negotiate to replace Noem with someone that doesn't skirt the filibuster."

I don't even know where to start with the illegal...The Executive does not have the constitutional power to raise revenue. The Executive does not have the constitutional power to make decisions about expenditures. The Executive does not have the power to privatize the functions of the US Treasury...
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

Attention mail nerds...
This profile tells some of Powers story - born into slavery near Athens, GA, Harriet learned to sew as a child, a skill that became her livelihood after emancipation - and includes an image of the original quilt as well as the only known photograph of Powers from 1901.

Phones rang nonstop last week with Oregonians speaking out against ICE. Your voice gives me power—that’s why I voted against ICE funding and will continue demanding accountability.

Keep calling. Keep staying loud.

Trump detained an Oregon family taking their sick child to urgent care. Let me repeat that: THEY DETAINED A SICK CHILD.

It is morally bankrupt.

I'm working to defund ICE and impeach Kristi Noem NOW.

The Portland Metro Chamber (PBA) just published its top 3 legislative priorities for 2026 and #1 is…

Using public (city and state) money to renovate the Moda Center…

They also want tax cuts and the ability for cities to arrest houseless people easier.

The ruling class is completely out of touch.

The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:

“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”

“This is not what we voted for.”
