Ecosocialist Working Group Releases Transit Rider Survey Report - Portland DSA
Portland DSA’s Ecosocialist Working Group aims to influence Salem policymakers to do better for under-served frequent riders.
portlanddsa.org
This spring, we got on @trimet.org to survey 300+ regular transit riders about their needs. Riders want frequency, better shelters and unarmed rider ambassadors.
Please check out my article in The Thorn! It has a link to the full report.

Mixed feelings as the firefighter memorial at 18th and burnside is demolished. It looks like the replacement will be an improvement (and retain the trees…?) but burnside will continue to do psychic damage to anyone hanging out here

Transit “speedrunning” started in 1960 with the “Tube Challenge”, a Guinness world record on London’s underground system. In the 65 years since, it’s spread around the world to transit systems of all sizes, now generically called a “speedrun.”

if you're lucky enough to be a homeowner, can't recommend enough biting the bullet and going for the heat pump. just got mine installed last week. it's marvelous.
Oregonians have a little over a month to take advantage of federal tax credits helping to offset costs of home energy upgrades like heat pumps and solar panels.
Oregonians have 5 weeks to secure expiring federal home energy tax credits
The nonprofit Energy Trust of Oregon is encouraging residents to invest in heating and cooling pumps and solar panels, before federal money goes away.

On weds night, after the crowd spent hours saying Angelita was uniquely pro-ICE (???) clr. Koyama lane highlighted that Mitch (a white guy) co-sponsored the reso. The crowd then began bullying Koyama lane
It’s also not lost on me these same folks are praising my male colleague for clarifying the permit process for the ICE building while they’ve raked me through the coals for explaining it.
Genuinely hilarious.

HON is honored that our Co-ED @tiffanimc.bsky.social is one of the transition co-chair for Mayor-Elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social! This is the result of our collective organizing for four years, pushing for social housing when so many believed it wasn't possible. 💕

A better future was within reach and it’s getting rat fucked out from under us by our scarecrow freak goblin mayor
Portland Housing Director Helmi Hisserich has resigned after being "asked to step down without notice that my work was unsatisfactory.”
Her resignation letter, shared with OPB, points to a divide between how the city addresses its housing and homelessness crises.

Hilarious own-goal on PMC’s part here. ICE has truly never been less popular and they just hitched their wagon to it.
Welp, it looks like the Portland Metro Chamber’s solidarity with the community against ICE and a federal invasion ends at charging an impact fee to property owners who would rent their properties to detention facilities that harm neighbors & drain public resources.
Can’t say that we’re surprised!

Gresham's new East County Library is incredible! It's no branch library, but a flagship like Central Library downtown. It's credited to Portland's Holst Architecture, but the design came equally (or more) from Ghanaian-Brit starchitect David Adjaye (who was dropped before construction). WOW.
