When Portland and Metro leadership finally decide to get to work on the downtown MAX tunnel, we're gonna have to be careful to not let them excavate to the and center of the earth in an effort to coddle a couple dozen whiney business owners.

This is so unbelievably wasteful.

I just can't get over the differences in scale between Ballard Link's Westlake Station as proposed and the original Westlake Station, off to the left.

Important question: is the frog our symbol of resistance to be replicated? If we dress as the frog for the 10/18 protest or for Halloween is it stolen valor or are we all frogs now? Asking for me. @wilsonxcassie.bsky.social please consult the OG at your earliest convenience.

Individuals in the TA loaned 100s of scarves to the previous owner of the CBP. when it was purchased by Cheerful people tried to get their scarves back and were denied. Then a few years later all the scarves and other TA memorabilia was thrown in the trash.

In short fuck them.

Not that it's the point of this thread...but the Riveters seemed extra musical against Salt Lake this weekend. Like more horns/drums or something? A few extra beats? Anyway, it was very good.

using
for peaceful protest

Forgive me
the courts said they were
so agitating

This is a big deal because public space only works if the public shows up, and having food trucks and other types of vendors at parks will encourage people not only to visit, but to stay there and hang out a while.

Every day, some new horror. Building management at the Chicago apartments either coordinated with the feds on clearing out the building, or just took advantage of it and turned it into a militarized eviction raid.

Housing justice has gotta be a key pillar in our response to accelerating fascism.

southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · 15h

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...
