Where's the progressive push back on this anti-tax campaign / gubernatorial gambit? Even Trump’s gov't closed DOGE, yet Oregon's anti-gov't extremists want to drag us backward by defunding our transportation system.

Opponents of Oregon gas tax increase say they’ve cleared key hurdle to let voters weigh in
The initiative needed roughly 78,000 signatures by Dec. 30 to qualify for next year’s election. Backers say they have more than 150,000.

Literally shaking. Absolute monsters. DHS's Secretary Noem reassigned agents away from saving a child rape victim and arresting the depraved rapists and traffickers because she's obsessed with Trump's effort to stop immigrants from "poisoning the blood" of the nation.

The Veo bikes are great for Bend but we should really take a couple of car parking spots for them — dumping them in the racks like this when they don’t need to be locked is just punishing anyone who wants to bike downtown to patronize the shops. @melaniekebler.bsky.social @amendez.bsky.social

@amendez.bsky.social what do we do about this? Forcing kids into the street so we can inform motorists about a road closure?
I've seen this sign for months but this is the first time we've been impacted so personally.

I wish Eric King (city manager) would resign. He is not making the city look good here.
Top city officials and the former equity director have starkly different views of Andrés Portela III’s time with the city.
Bend paid its equity director $86K to resign after he’d already quit. Here’s what happened
In his resignation letter, Andrés Portela III calls City Hall an “unsafe, inequitable and professionally hostile environment.” He describes interactions in Bend and with his colleagues as “racist,” “inappropriate, discriminatory and harmful.”

I just had the strangest thing -- knock on the door at 11pm. Open it and it's this 20 something couple. They say their brakes are cut and they need a pen to leave a note on their car. They have a ride from a friend. I lock the door, go get a pen, unlock it and give it to them and theyre on their way
