Surprised Clark, who is running for President, voted aye for such a radical change. Does not build confidence.

[Rev Joseph Santos-Lyons @revsantoslyons]

The debate regarding #PDX Council President election and whether the Mayor breaks a tie is distracting and disappointing. The charter has explicit language on the election and does not include the Mayor in this decision.

[Rev Joseph Santos-Lyons @revsantoslyons]

Good to see Zimmerman, Ryan, Novick and a super majority maintain the rule and intent of the city charter by rejecting the proposal to include the Mayor in the organizational decision making.

@shanedkavanaugh Interesting layout, hardened security setup from the looks of it.

@CebuPacificAir ridiculous to be on the runway at #NAIA3 for 30 minutes after landing!

An update to a story from yesterday: sources indicate @repvalhoyle will join the DOGE caucus, adding a 2nd Democrat (Jared Moskowitz was the other).
@socialsecurityworks is warning Dems that joining the caucus will legitimize a process poised to attack Social Security & Medicare.

House Speaker @juliefahey on continued #orleg Dem majority: "Here in Oregon, based on the results so far, we are going to return a strong majority in the House. It’s because of our strong majority, we will be able to stand up to whatever happens at the federal level." #orpol

It is telling that key local electeds are staying silent on the misogyny and racism being directed at women and BIPOC in Oregon. This is part of the culture change we need.

@candaceforpdx The look on Rene's face when Rubio said "some people won't even meet with those they don't agree with".

Rene did not come off well.

Rev Alison Miller and First Unitarian Church Portland blessing 12,500 letters getting out the vote. Amazing! #GOTV #UU #FaithinAction

[Rev Joseph Santos-Lyons @revsantoslyons]

It is so alive and awesome downtown Portland. From Old Town to PSU to Providence Park.

[Rev Joseph Santos-Lyons @revsantoslyons]

What have Rene and Mingus done for our city? Wasted money on overtime, frog ferry, dividing Portlanders…

[Stephen Green @PDXStephenG]

Someone did some great community service for #Portland with this... https://t.co/IzsmXnu6X8

@shanedkavanaugh Go Attorney Gomez!

[Rev Joseph Santos-Lyons @revsantoslyons]

Rene Gonzalez has zero transformative policy accomplishments. Now he proposes more criminalizing of graffiti, which data shows is a bandaid. Instead he could be fighting for communities like in Cully facing overpolicing (see towing story in the @oregonian). #DontRankRene

@JonIsaacsOR Curious. I think of radicals as people who seek to be authentic and accountable to real people. Collaborators as more of an elitist, often necessary reality of politics. how do you define?
