AND they're in a Transit Only lane.
Two cars wait at a red light on a downtown street. They are driving in a transit only lane. The front car has its blinker on, while a sign overhead reads "NO TURNS". A close-up of the "NO TURNS" sign hanging next to the red light. A close-up of the front car's flashing right blinker.

Some more pictures from today.
From SW 3rd & Washington St, the front of the no kings protest is seen marching west down the Morrison Bridge while the back end of the march is still going by on SW 3rd. No King's protesters holding a variety of signs: "Don't tread on me" with a rainbow snake; "I can't tell if my bad mood is from perimenopause or the fall of democracy"; "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a-hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging? -JD Vance" A selfie with another protester in a large inflatable chicken costume. Jewish protesters march through the no kings crowd holding a large banner reading "JEWS SAY ICE OUT OF PORTLAND ISRAEL OUT OF GAZA"

The paradox of tolerance states: if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is, in time, seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Austrian philosopher Karl Popper described this as the idea that "In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." @SOYOUWANTTOTALKABOUT SOURCE: CPP.EDU

The train looks like this. 👇 And it started running 7 years ago.

It's unfortunate people post AI slop.

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

Those pens are giving Elle Woods in the best way.
Elle Woods sits at a table in a classroom with a pink pen poised in her hand, ready to write. The pen has some pinky fluffies on the end; other students are visible and blurred in the background.

I bike on this part of the NW Johnson Greenway regularly, so I was struck when I read "there's just one diverter at 15th." The pictures looked off. So I went to Google streetview, and sure enough, a year ago there were two.

Idk when the second was removed.
Google streetview from May 2024 looking west on NW Johnson from NW 15th Ave. Two large concrete barrels sit on either side of the street in the parking lane with signs saying "do not enter, except bikes. Bike markings are in the middle of the street. The picture from the article showing NW Johnson in August 2025. One large concrete diverter sits on the north side of NW Johnson. The south side has nothing to prevent through traffic on the greenway.

Given how much river there is in Portland, it should be WAY easier to find a place to have a glass of wine along the waterfront. 😒

It felt great to get out and march today with thousands of other people in Portland! The crowd was so big I couldn't where it began and ended once we got moving! #NoKings #FuckTrump
