Went to a Sen.Pham party last night and was awed by a room filled with environmental, housing, and labor advocates who were there to celebrate a fierce and effective fighter for working class families. Thank you, @khanhphamfororegon.com your support and for all you do for Oregon families like mine!

This!! Olivia Clark and I were in the Climate Justice forum one night where she said she wanted PCEF dollars to go to transit, and the next night at City Club she said she wanted PCEF dollars to go to police. She’s just lying right to people’s faces!

Yes! We need to build the Portland brand! That’s the way to a more sustainable economy that doesn’t keep us beholden to outside shareholders who dgaf about Portland’s “business climate” outside of what they can extract from it.

Sorry, chalk girl, I deleted to edit and reposted. Didn’t mean to erase your reply! 😝

I’m still learning too!!

But nobody can win just being #2 or #3. To win, you need enough #1 ranks to not be eliminated immediately.

Yah, great question that the governor should be answering instead of leaving us all in the dark. We get press conferences about sports teams instead of press conferences about children’s education. She’s choosing what to prioritize and what to communicate at a time when people are in real need.

@jameyevenstar.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 5:09 AM

I think she needs to feel some heat. She’s absolutely banking on our fears keeping us complacent.

@jameyevenstar.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 4:41 AM

So real. I loooooove them.

So Kotek will go out of her way to find hundreds of millions for a fucking stadium and call it an “emergency” but can’t find the same energy to keep schools open? Or transit? Or rent assistance?

@jameyevenstar.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 4:27 AM

I was flabbergasted

@jameyevenstar.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 4:09 AM

I wished it was an actual debate SO BAD! There were so many things I wanted to say to her and to Eric.

💭 on yesterday's D4 Candidate Forum:
@councilorgreen.bsky.social + @jameyevenstar.bsky.social remain my top choices. Zimmerman's answers didn't map to his votes on council. Arnold said straight out that you can't let "people" get in the way of projects. Clark seemed to favor obeying in advance...

I'm fully supportive of the Fair Share Tax proposal introduced by Portland City Councilors this week; I encourage you to reach out to City Hall in support of the initiative to lower taxes on small businesses and raise taxes on large corporations. Submit testimony in the link below:

Hell yah! Thank you! 🙏

I am advocating that we stop spending tens of millions in providing shelter (which is the job of the County) and redirect those dollars to rent assistance and funding land and building acquisition for publicly owned mixed-income housing.

@jameyevenstar.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 2:17 PM

Too many people are one more bill increase away from a missed rent payment. I refuse to believe there isn’t anything the city can do about this. I’d rather we stop construction right now and let a partially built building waste away than pretend like this won’t make more people homeless.

@jameyevenstar.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 1:30 AM

As a mom of five kids who’s led some of the most progressive policies helping working class families, I’m proud to have earned this endorsement. Please help me get over the finish line with a donation of $5-$25 dollars! 🙏

I'm fine with encouraging the impression that Portland's urbanist-socialist coalition is plotting to provide a variety of affordable housing types in livable, transit-rich neighborhoods for all.
