I'd like to share my editorial for Newsweek that published this morning. I ask mayors across this great nation to continue standing strong and standing together, peacefully, in the face of federal bully tactics against our communities.

I love kicking off the new year at the theatre — and 2026 was no exception ❤️

(Stranger Things is a 5 out of 5 show with a less-than-perfect finale.)

My weekend in peaceful Portland:
- My regular boxing class
- Saw a Ghibli movie at the theatre & had a slice of pie at Lauretta Jean's w/ my partner
- Thrifted my Halloween costume

The only chaos was when I realized everyone had switched to their fall wardrobe, leaving me feeling silly in shorts.

Portland, delivering on its promises to improve permitting!

From David Kuhnhausen, interim director of Portland Permitting & Development: “There’s never been a right-sizing, until now.”

I had a *really* fun commute downtown today, and you can too by joining the City Bike Bus, happening on the 2nd Wednesday of the month through October! 🚲🚌

We had another successful City Bike Bus this morning! Shout out to all the folks who jumped on bikes and road downtown with us on nine unique bike bus routes this morning. We love starting our day with y'all.

Thanks to the rad folks at @rcbpdx.bsky.social, I now own my first adult bike (ebike) after years of relying on bikeshares⚡🚲

Now I must decide where to go first on this gorgeous holiday weekend.

Any ride recommendations for someone newer to Portland and excited to explore the city?
