Cutting property taxes for Oregonians affected by wildfires. Canceling planned freeway tolls. Pausing local new taxes in the Portland area. We have to keep going to make life more affordable for Oregonians.

Today I learned (in a conversation with @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social about her new bill, HB 2095) that in Washington a driver is currently presumed liable for a collision if they strike a bridge, but not if they strike and harm someone walking on a sidewalk.

That feeling when your entire rapid transit system converges on one easily disrupted segment — like, say, a 123-year old bridge that lifts for tall boats.
Portland needs an rail tunnel under downtown. It’s the only megaproject in our region that excites me at this point.

Imagine your precious child, a high schooler, goes out to walk the dog & never comes back.
The reason: he gets abducted by #ICE who just release the dog.
Neighbors rescue the dog & return it with the news of #ICELawless.
Your son's detained for months in brutal conditions.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.
The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.
These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.
We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

No "two different realities" bullshit. One side is calling for release of the video, and the other is not.
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

My pick?
LISTERS: A GLIMPSE INTO EXTREME BIRDWATCHING, a great, gonzo documentary about two dudes who decide become vagabond birdwatchers for a whole year and immerse themselves in the subculture.

I wish I knew what to do to put a stop to this. I think this is the first person who I know who has been removed from the country by Trump, but I doubt he will be the last. Our neighborhood is worse for this.
