have we tried leasing out the Oregon state capitol to fix all our budget problems
there is next to no pressure on the Oregon Republican party to write policy that doesn't end up with some level of financial ruin or loss in services.
it only has to "sound better" than whatever the Democrats propose, whether or not it actually keeps our state afloat.

The transit service cuts are going to be so horrific I cannot fathom. The next several years are going to be hell. We need a full time legislature. We need special sessions. They have to dig us out of the hell we are in. Reform the fucking tax system. No more budget cuts under wealth inequality.

Interestingly, my cat also just got 300,000 signatures for a “wet food for every meal” ballot measure. Waiting to see how this develops.
The campaign hoping to refer Oregon's newly passed gas tax increase to next year's ballot now says it has more than 150,000 signatures -- roughly double of what it needs. #orpol

i don't harbor any illusion that it's even possible to opt-out of every AI, every absurd overreach of data collection and invasion of privacy, but it does feel good to toggle everything off that you can get your hands on, if only out of spite
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

related take here is that I’m not sure moderate dems and republicans will be thrilled with the result they get from pushing the transportation package to the 2027 long session
virginia (harris+6) is set to have a larger democratic majority than oregon (harris +14) in their state house after tonight, if you want a sense for how next year might look for the legislature

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

i don't understand how dan ryan using his public sector email constituent list to tell voters not to vote for the tax levy, a clear breach of the explicit public facing/campaign dichotomy, is somehow less of a scandal than group chat text messages
Dan Ryan using his official city email to send a novel-length email telling people he's voting No on the Parks Levy is a great endorsement for voting Yes on the Parks Levy

this is what happens when you don’t invest in transit, people: coyotes have to walk instead of taking the MAX 😔
Officials are warning people to be on the lookout for coyotes after a 9-year-old was grabbed by one in Portland’s Alameda neighborhood on Oct. 23.
