30 September 2021 : Got a good ROI on their super PAC investment, that's sure.
29 September 2021 : @bestofnextdoor - this is one for the books. Any other big city mayors out there governing ND decree? https://twitter.com/alex_zee/status/1443274433838256128
28 September 2021 : But gotta love that reform coalition of the most unpopular mayor in city history, probable gubernatorial candidate, and county sheriff -- transformative!
28 September 2021 : Reminder to challenge the premise - apparently, DA Schmidt does not intend to stay the progressive CJ reformer course. https://pamplinmedia.com/go/9-news/522774-417727-multnomah-da-sheriff-portland-needs-more-police https://twitter.com/sarahforpdx/status/1442883679638806528
27 September 2021 : Not that you care about facts, GOP - but 47% of Oregonians live in the Portland metro. #OrPol https://twitter.com/ORSenateGOP/status/1442606131663159306
26 September 2021 : You're giving them far too much credit, IMO - it's nothing more than a disingenuous astroturfing campaign to try to elect people who will increase police spending and (if they can get the polling they want) to introduce a ballot measure to reallocate money from housing to police.
5 September 2021 : Deleted the OP so as not to spread misinformation, but for context: pic.twitter.com/CLcvSapqaw
5 September 2021 : Apparently @OregonSymphony thought it'd be cute to pop off CANONS in the city. https://twitter.com/kplatypuspdx/status/1434372342407315464?s=20
5 September 2021 : Just got back from Eugene where the sky was opaque with wildfire smoke... ... and Portland has fireworks? Insanity.
2 September 2021 : Well, if this wasn't a prescient tweet. https://twitter.com/noBjustRyan/status/1408850469787639809
31 August 2021 : (scroll down, I'm feeling you)
31 August 2021 : A city with gaps in its active transportation 'network' is about as useful as as Thrift Store jigsaw puzzle. My #ebike is such a gift, I just take automobile ROW whenever I damn well please now.
31 August 2021 : I'm not just talking culture, I'm talking public policy. Was in a conversation about cycling infrastructure on earthquake ready Burnside Bridge and they were modeling for recreation demand vs commute demand. C'mon now - a cycling trip is a cycling trip. Make it safe and easy.
31 August 2021 : Why choose? No one makes car buyers pick one. Bikes are fun, liberating, efficient transportation, healthy, and inexpensive. Build cities where people can enjoy bikes however whenever they want. https://twitter.com/bettybarc0de/status/1432438179492139009 pic.twitter.com/qyCQQJW6os
30 August 2021 : I only feel rage at the lack of visionary leadership and olicharchic greed which keeps Louisiana's economy and fate tied to the filthy corrupt fossil fuel industry. The U.S. could invest in green infrastructure and economy, but instead, the people of Louisiana get this.
30 August 2021 : I need help with a pickup truck next Sunday 9/5 to move a couple of couches from Milwaukie to Portland. DM me if you're willing to assist.
30 August 2021 : The "First...worst" principle of #ClimateChange certainly applies for the people of Louisiana. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/08/intensifying-hurricane-ida-a-significant-threat-to-key-infrastructure/
30 August 2021 : The "First...worst" principle o #ClimateEmergency certainly applies for the people of Louisiana. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/08/intensifying-hurricane-ida-a-significant-threat-to-key-infrastructure/
28 August 2021 : Non-sequitur but build out SoWa to zoned capacity while you're at it - immense housing potential languishes adjacent to nearly $2B in active transportation & transit infrastructure.
27 August 2021 : And couldn't, like detouring the Proud Boys to Parkrose.
19 August 2021 : Bikes are just so good in every way, hard to beat dollar for dollar. pic.twitter.com/Pafu6sUYaF
19 August 2021 : Ca. 2014, Portland forgot that that the bicycle is transformative machine.
18 August 2021 : Is that something disgusting or depressing?
17 August 2021 : It's so stupid.
16 August 2021 : Interesting decision given the governor's mask mandate Friday. Did attendees need to wear them to get into the stadium/ concessions/ restrooms? Because they're required indoors and strongly encouraged in crowded outdoor gatherings by the state.
15 August 2021 : (crash back to earth remembering how we can't even manage to eradicate these power dynamics from Portland's left activist circles but relief to dream big for a NY minute in any case)
15 August 2021 : Feeling for the women of Afghanistan, the families of Haiti and daydreaming about a world in which the power of global patriarchal capitalist imperialism were redirected toward justice and sustainability.
15 August 2021 : LOLed at @MicCapesRaps on @AllFantasyPod this week - who knew one of Portland's top rappers had jokes? https://pca.st/episode/0c1df4ef-e7dc-4782-8ac8-dba9857d0e76
12 August 2021 : Refining the conversation further: I'm looking at this through a policy lens mostly, e.g. how do we better transform public policy through work within and across diverse advocacy groups, organizations, and coalitions?
12 August 2021 : Since my campaign, I've been thinking a lot about crowded advocacy spaces. Arguably, that dynamic affected the outcome of the most recent mayor's race. I see it in other spaces I'm in now, too. Portland is an advocacy-rich environment. How do we self-manage for better outcomes?
12 August 2021 : Not sure, couldn't see from my perspective.
12 August 2021 : ⚠️ Heads up - @clackamasfire in full force on Springwater Corridor just north of Johnson Creek Blvd.
10 August 2021 : @manatmast Moderates nationwide intentionally vilified antifascists, aligning themselves with the alt-right for short term political gain, essentially rolling out the red carpet for episodes like this. But go ahead, posit me the bad guy.
9 August 2021 : What's the Latin prefix that means greedy-old-fossil-fuel CEO-pogenic?
9 August 2021 : Wrong to assume that because sexual assault survivors and their allies have stopped being openly critical of the hiring process that they're OK with it. More likely, they're so accustomed to being disrespected that they've already swallowed the hurt and moved on like pros.
8 August 2021 : More often than not, I disagree w/ the O's editorial decisions, but props to @tbottomly for going public here. For a sitting elected to communicate w/ a news outlet w/o specifying whether it was on the record or off demonstrates a careless hubris if not unprofessionalism.
4 August 2021 : Can. Not. Catch. A. Break. At this point, my highest hope for the season is shopping at Goodwill for my Terry Stotts on 70s night halloween costume, sigh. pic.twitter.com/kwJ13FKGQU
3 August 2021 : Near universal hate only matters when it's in your own universe, I guess.
3 August 2021 : There are Olshey defenders - who knew?
3 August 2021 : Dear Lord, grant me the confidence of a tall hetero able-bodied cisgendered white man born one of the wealthiest in a state with 4 million people.
3 August 2021 : Ted Wheeler doesn't care that you're re reading his DMs because he believes you're too ignorant to grasp what's going on at his level anyway.
3 August 2021 : "nobody including the press understands the commission form of government" says the man who hasn't accomplished jack under the commission form of government https://twitter.com/ZakirSpeaks/status/1422350201688268830 pic.twitter.com/hEqUHjxg3Q
29 July 2021 : Shaking with rage I don't know what to do - we've tried everything, nothing stops them.
29 July 2021 : Laurelhurst is a public park owned by the city, not a private backyard and in my neighbors and I opened our community center as a shelter and also maintain a community care cabinet for unhoused people in our pocket park ... you want to keep coming at me or are you done?
29 July 2021 : As I said, the avg (untrained) person isn't equipped. You're talking 100s of vols in a city w/ 650K pop. While I'm grateful for what PBEM & NETS do, this is more a system/policy level discussion than bureau/program level. How many died people last heatwave? We're not prepared.
29 July 2021 : As a street level community builder, I know that trusting, connections are forged painstakingly one person at a time, one day at a time. Then, they must be maintained. Takes a whole lotta entitlement/ignorance to think you can snap your fingers in a crisis and create community.
29 July 2021 : Back in the times of Adams/Hales, Portland could've secured a Rockefeller grant to fund a Chief Resiliency Officer. The n'hood system sits in decline w/ inadequate investment in the civic fabric of this city. Squandering potential is privileged behavior. https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2017/12/a_fix_for_portlands_growing_pa.html pic.twitter.com/rh478lc3ox
28 July 2021 : I've not been there personally, but have experienced how these situations devolve. There are so many like you describe, Laurelhurst Park is far from the worst, I'm sure.
28 July 2021 : The absence of a workable solution to a public health crisis is not a free pass to conduct human rights abuses, period.
28 July 2021 : (FWIW, should people find themselves in my n'hood, I'll welcome them here.)
27 July 2021 : DiBlasio forcing public employees to get vaxxed if they want to work feels solid, heathcare and other major industries could follow suit.
27 July 2021 : NVM, Fox doesn't actually broadcast across airwaves, go figure. But your point stands.
27 July 2021 : Oh lordy, their FCC bandwidth should have been pulled years ago but alas here we are.
21 July 2021 : "the city wouldn't pay the developer enough" is such a facile analysis of this sitch. Over a billion $$$ in public transportation infrastructure already in place for that build out and Wheeler tanks it. Dude gets way more credit for competence than he deserves.
21 July 2021 : I support LVT, too, but that's besides the point.
21 July 2021 : Wheeler let the deal fall apart unnecessarily. Pretty good argument for a new mayor, too. https://twitter.com/AndrewDamitio/status/1417364757875658752
17 July 2021 : Regardless, they're committed. I got a very expensive ticket in Copenhagen for being one stop out of the correct zone. No free pass, I had to pay by credit card on the spot or be taken away by the transit police.
17 July 2021 : Dang, trip in the wayback machine. Thanks for sharing.
16 July 2021 : Who knew getting bounced in the first round would be our high point for the year? This Blazers franchise just looks trashier with each passing day. https://twitter.com/wweek/status/1415861242095415298
10 July 2021 : Discerning sarcasm is like a 4th or 5th grade reading level.
10 July 2021 : Discerning sarcasm is like a 4th or 5th grade reading level, y'all. pic.twitter.com/ZsAHVFhl4E
7 July 2021 : The stroads of East Portland can all be brought down to the widths of inner east "green streets" - tear up the rest of the asphalt, plant trees and build housing for humans instead.
7 July 2021 : Submitted this white paper to Wheeler and Eudaly in late 2016, yes 2016. Both ignored out of hand - Eudaly in favor of the misguided 3.96 code change; Wheeler has been MIA on resilience his entire tenure. Disgraceful showing by Portland City Hall on this issue. pic.twitter.com/mwH7Hutgdo
5 July 2021 : We can't make being selfish illegal just yet, but we can be actively antiracist, update our city charter for the 21st C., invest in pro-social programs, penalize anti-social behavior, and tax the rich. Thank you for coming to my annual Interdependence Day lecture.
5 July 2021 : Not enough of us are hardwired to focus on the collective good to effect major structural transformation; mutual aid is necessary but insufficient at this critical juncture. We need powerful governments making pro-social investments and regulating anti-social behavior.
5 July 2021 : I don't blame people, honestly; it's a structural issue. Neoliberalism's insistence on individualism begets the violence that undermines the good of the whole. NIMBYism, speeding in traffic, shooting off fireworks... all by-products of the IGMFY* mentality. *I got mine f*ck you
5 July 2021 : Most of what sucks about Portland right now is the result of selfishness, pure and simple. That said, most of what's awesome here is the result of empathy, selfless service to, others and protection of the environment.
4 July 2021 : Portland's "Crescent of Disinvestment" runs the north end of town up thru Cully, includes E. Portland, stretches back west along Clackamas Co line. But go ahead, keep focusing on downtown as if it's the only place struggling while neighbors dying out here. https://www.oregonlive.com/weather/2021/07/zip-code-for-lents-neighborhood-had-highest-concentration-of-multnomah-county-heat-victims.html
3 July 2021 : You'll always be a Portland 12 to us, Mohanad.
2 July 2021 : So tired of seeing good humans having to rationalize their survival rather than the sociopaths destroying our communities and planet being held to account.
30 June 2021 : If this is how he treats to women, he might have been contributing to the problem of toxic culture within the PPB, honestly.
29 June 2021 : "Take our word for it, not hers." https://twitter.com/highkin/status/1409955246520999937
27 June 2021 : I disagree from a pedagogical perspective, of all things: having spent years in best practices exchanges, sharing everything from BETC tax credits to bioswales, even our regional gov't + UGB w/ decision-makers at all levels of gov't, I know there's work to be done at all scales.
24 June 2021 : Thanks for The Dig, btw - enjoy regularly.
24 June 2021 : Everything on the http://sarah2020.com website was pretty 🔥🔥🔥
20 June 2021 : Not to mention we need road and safety impact fees assessed on purchase by vehicle weight, length, and height. Those increasing profile trucks are a public health hazard.
19 June 2021 : Stylistic concerns aside, Turner's words should not be taken lightly. When he accuses a sitting politician of "endorsing violence" it's a dog-whistle that opens thems to threats, harassment, and abuse. Our community should be taking the PPA's vendetta against Hardesty seriously. https://twitter.com/alex_zee/status/1405973619239383042
18 June 2021 : So, the brutal militarized riot cops all resigned in protest? Does that mean we have the money to fund Portland Street Response and Sunday Parkways now? https://www.opb.org/article/2021/06/17/portland-police-officers-resign-in-mass-from-rapid-response-team/
18 June 2021 : So the brutal, militarized riot cops all resigned in protest, eh? So does that mean we can fully fund Portland Street Response and Sunday Parkways this summer? Heaven knows the latter actually serve and keep safe the people of this city. https://www.opb.org/article/2021/06/17/portland-police-officers-resign-in-mass-from-rapid-response-team/
17 June 2021 : I find it incredible that Wheeler feels entitled to calm dinners in public, despite the continuous outrage. If you're not going to deal with the PPB, at least grab some Postmates and let your hard working neighbors and small biz owners enjoy peace, jeesh.
16 June 2021 : Champions for justice are irrational, while the captains of industry are imminently work-with-able, amirite?
14 June 2021 : I don't enjoy watching Jokic play, find hime graceless and brutish generally.
13 June 2021 : I gave my kid two lessons before sending her off to college - buddy system for avoiding date rape and econ is astrology for dudes 😭😭😭 https://twitter.com/shawnfleek/status/1404186228249878528 pic.twitter.com/ZlMdnvtrpK
12 June 2021 : Had anthropology prof once who claimed, 'Religion is magic you believe and magic is religion you don't believe,' or something to that effect.
12 June 2021 : Yeah, that was a special sandwich - shaved the beef in-house, Pearl Bakery French baguette softened to a Philly level of chewiness overnight, wit whiz off-menu for the regulars. RIP Arleta Library, RIP Pearl Bakery - two Portland treasures. 😢😢
11 June 2021 : Good work, #OrLeg . Can we expel big money from corporate interests next? https://twitter.com/Oregonian/status/1403197404929794048

6 June 2021 : A very thoughtful thread about responsibility and consequences in this context. Applies to Kidd and Billups, sure, but also Adams, Hennessee et al.. The onus is on those IN power, not survivors. https://twitter.com/_Kendrawacharge/status/1401217595576029187?s=20
6 June 2021 : Possibly unpopular takes: 1) Would rather lose Damian Lillard than roll out the carpet for someone unapologetic about their pattern of bad behavior 2) Portland is not "fake" woke - we may be imperfect, but as a community overall we're striving toward justice
5 June 2021 : Ted Wheeler, 2020: "Nothing has united Portland more than it's disapproval of me." Jason Kidd, 2021: "Hold my beer."
5 June 2021 : I was referring more to being fine with exodus, not strongly attached to anyone but Dame and Melo (for different reasons). Incoming, those I'll handle on a case by case basis 🧐
5 June 2021 : He's at the top of his game and the sport, no one I'd trust more.

14 May 2021 : No, that's not what I'm saying.
14 May 2021 : ROCO!
13 May 2021 : To all of the white men critiquing, scrutinizing, offering to educate, and otherwise condescending to Commissioner Hardesty (on whatever topic), might I suggest you step back, listen, and reflect before you speak/write?
13 May 2021 : (forgive the typos, I'm beat)
11 May 2021 : Only thing all ideologies, genders, and media could agree on, bwahaa. I remember one so-called leftist woman blogger critiquing my "fancy" dress that I got for $7 at Goodwill while Wheeler showed up places clad in $300 denim. pic.twitter.com/16YCUsyv8Y

24 April 2021 : You failed to support the argument that I "recast as even more inflammatory." You claimed not to care about semantics while arguing them. From here, I can only assume that you're trying to prove you're either more ethical or smarter than I. If that makes you feel good, so be it.

14 April 2021 : Tatum's three a punch to 's gut - oof.

10 April 2021 : Sorry to see this go down. Undermines my trust in @RepPeterDeFazio as lead on infrastructure in a way that leaves me unsettled. We'll get 'em next time, housing advocates.

4 April 2021 : Climate change? 💯 But will folks more well-versed in foreign policy explain why _this_ take at _this_ moment, esp given the rise in anti-AAPI hate since the advent of COVID? (And please, don't waste my time with "libs gonna lib" - I'm sincerely curious about the strategy here.)

24 March 2021 : "On the other side of COVID, I can't wait to attend a rubber chicken fundraising gala," said no one ever. Can we all just agree to just cut our checks to our charities and reclaim our time, people?

21 March 2021 : Why take it out of context instead of RTing? Why assume I was referring to PNWYLF? (I wasn't.) Why assume anything instead of asking clarifying questions?

12 March 2021 : You want us to take away OTC's budgetary magic wand and break it in half or what?
12 March 2021 : Or 136th, 146th, 162nd -- it's really bad all over East Portland and North/Northeast Portland.
8 March 2021 : And Anfernee "Kiss the Rim" Simons brings home the trophy for - way to go.
7 March 2021 : *haves and have nots 🤯
7 March 2021 : It's why resiliency planning is so key. Instability is the new normal - climatic, geologic, economic, political, socio-cultural, pandemics, etc.. We need our people connected and prepared for whatever may come, not in constant retrenchment for survival. Ugh, this sucks.
7 March 2021 : I've often felt throughout this crisis that we should be investing in community infrastructure to help sustain us through the rebuilding phase that comes next. With so many people struggling, the divides between the haves and haves likely to worsen. Not sure we planned well.
6 March 2021 : Wheeler's gift is making promises that sound good when the cameras are on but failing to carry through. I'll start believing he's truly committed when he starts assuming risk for eradicating racist policing rather than passing it onto the back of our only Black commissioner.
6 March 2021 : To be clear, this is an essential but insufficient first step. We need the mayor and police commissioner to do the right thing once the truth comes out.
6 March 2021 : It's quite good to see Police Commissioner @tedwheeler stepping up like this on Commissioner @JoAnnPDX 's behalf, honestly. Let's make sure that should the PPB be found at fault, they're held to account. P.S. Still waiting for that @Oregonian apology. https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/mayor-calls-for-investigation-on-false-allegations-against-hardesty/

3 March 2021 : I lived through an experience in which my tweets were used as a proxy to disqualify from a position, so there's that context, I guess.
3 March 2021 : Rather than grounding us in principles of equity, sustainability, justice, democracy, too many local leaders have remained silent on the issue or talk about antifascism like it's criminal, a slur. Their complicity - not antifascist resistance - paved the way for insurrection.

26 February 2021 : You have been an inspiration to me and I believe you will continue to do great things, in or out of office. Thank you for the work you do.
24 February 2021 : P.S. Race and gender play a huge role in who the cycling community trusts as leaders. I hope they begin to critically evaluate those biases as well, or they'll never make gains power-building.
24 February 2021 : Just discussing this. Not here to defend Tanden, but civility is weaponized against justice seekers. Who did more harm to Portland last year, Ted Wheeler with Tear Gas or me with F-Bombs? But I was framed as dangerous, angry, violent, unprofessional.
24 February 2021 : Idiotic and cruel.
21 February 2021 : I wouldn't know, can't stomach comments sections long enough to find out. I can't help but ask who wins and who loses and how it ultimately helps the cycling-in-Portland cause if even one person feels this way. https://twitter.com/jordanpattern/status/1363293635349938179?s=20
18 February 2021 : In 2016, I submitted a white paper to a new mayor elect outlining a plan to invest in an office of community resilience which would have served double duty tamping down NIMBYism + preparing us for disaster thru an equity lens. Of course they ignored it, total waste of my time.
18 February 2021 : (Dame probably the most under-respected leaders in the game today.)
18 February 2021 : (Mad props to Society Hotel owner, Jessie Burke, for blowing the whistle on this grift. Can totally relate to feeling absolutely cheated by the @PDX_BizAlliance time and again.)
15 February 2021 : So lemme get this straight @trimetalerts : we can't have bike lanes on Hawthorne because delays to the #14 bus impacts low-income riders from East Portland. I just walked to the stop at Foster & Holgate. No #14 or #17 service. This is why people don't give up their cars. pic.twitter.com/LmoYWqNFNA
15 February 2021 : Dame has ice in his veins, generally unflappable. If he's pissed, it's generally warranted.
14 February 2021 : Won't you be my Valentine? Don't need💝or 🌹 but do need you to sign up for a 🥰SHELTER SHIFT🥰 if you possibly can. Dangerous weather will be with us longer than anticipated, meaning our unhoused neighbors still need our help the next few days. https://mailchi.mp/multco/volunteers-needed-severe-weather-shelter-2021-c?e=e12ab75a04 pic.twitter.com/tT1SECqGzb
14 February 2021 : Privileged people accustomed our voices (and bodies and opinions and everything else about us mattering) might need to slow our roll, re-evaluate, and invest in that movement building using the proper, values-based tactics this pivotal moment in human history demands.
13 February 2021 : Good trade! I didn't realize I was out of @CarnelianCoffee beans, had to Plaid Pantry-source a Stumptown coldbrew as stopgap. Guess that makes it like 1990 over here.
13 February 2021 : It's a constant undercurrent for me, and some days I struggle to keep my rage and sadness at bay in terms of the inequities surrounding us. I guess that's why I lean into community power-building. I feel stronger and more joyful knowing I'm not alone in the work.
13 February 2021 : If you are out and about, make sure you're checking on your neighbors who are unhoused, as well as elders and people with disabilities who are might stuck inside their houses and can't get out.
13 February 2021 : There are transit dependent workers who rely on TriMet. I'm guessing folks are concerned for them. Not everyone's boss is understanding.
11 February 2021 : Meant more to observe than judge here, perhaps it's a matter of my phrasing: I wasn't saying one was better than the other, simply that there are stylistic differences in conflict managements across cultures. "In your face" isn't really a compliment, either.

10 February 2021 : Moments like this are while y'all need to zip it on his less than stellar nights, IMHO.
10 February 2021 : I think some people are afraid they won't be able to help enough. They don't understand that giving whatever little you can, even if it's kindness or your mittens, can make a world of difference.
10 February 2021 : At the very best, it's a waste of time and resources. At the worst, people end up incarcerated or dead. https://twitter.com/sarahforpdx/status/1074505068085276672?s=19

7 February 2021 : Eric - Have you thought about how annoying it is that our neighbors are dying daily on our streets and most leaders never speak a word about it all, let alone take action to stop it? https://twitter.com/ericbergpdx/status/1358425389178101761
7 February 2021 : Not to mention, vehicular violence is right up there with police violence in terms of the perpetrator not being held accountable for the taking of another life because they stay on scene and express remorse.
7 February 2021 : I'm tired of this reporting. I'm tired of drivers who kill not being held accountable for taking a life. I'm tired of crappy infrastructure that makes this our reality. I'm tired of racially biased policing that keeps safety out of reach. I'm tired of autocentricity. #VisionZero
6 February 2021 : (i've only ever called a plumber for business, never residential -- lucky me!)
6 February 2021 : Anyone able to recommend a reliable woman or BIPoC plumber for household repairs?

30 January 2021 : (it's spelled s-u-s-t-a-i-n-a-b-i-l-i-t-y but you knew that)
30 January 2021 : Here's a preview of some of my research on Portland's Green Growth Machine. Although Portland's sustinability efforts were initially grounded in grassroots progressivism (which was a largely white movement, ngl), it was adopted/co-opted as an offical ec dev strategy a decade ago. https://twitter.com/sarahforpdx/status/1355379987600162818 pic.twitter.com/tTjpwps7oy
30 January 2021 : Couldn't agree more. The only people it serves are downtown business interests seeking law & order responses to so-called livability issues along with a disprorportionate share of COVID recovery resources. We need to stay the course of civil rights, regenerative economics, etc.
29 January 2021 : I didn't go off on it much prior to Nov because the narrative was largely out of my control, but the whole downtown-centric narrative around our recovery that emerged in the latter half of 2020 is pretty despicable, highly inequitable, and won't help improve Portland at all.

26 January 2021 : I've eaten in ONCE since the pandemic. A dear friend of 20+ yrs was in town on business. We sat outside at picnic tables. Our time together went sour when a write-in supporter harassed us. We managed to leave w/o pepper-spraying or harming them in any way, lol.
23 January 2021 : Sometimes wonder how much of the trend toward decentralization's driven by true communitarian anarchist principles and how much by hyper-individualism and other logics of advanced capitalism and the sociogenesis of neoliberalism, esp since so much plays out on image-heavy IG.

21 January 2021 : Considering we have less than one month supply of houses on the market, gotta wonder if Portland is the Croc's of cities right now -- ugly but hard to keep in stock in a pandemic. There's a public opinion/market demand mismatch here. Commerical RE, maybe? Dunno.
20 January 2021 : They're going to talk a lot about unity today; I hope they talk about justice half as much. #TacticalOptimism
20 January 2021 : Wish I had faith in this country to believe it were true. I've lost a lot of confidence in the Democratic party since I was a little girl. They've abandoned working people, failed to fight for equity or sustainability, can't even elect a woman. Biden and Harris have work.

17 January 2021 : Move from Texas to Brooklyn, I guess.
15 January 2021 : Biking home last evening, a passing car penned me in alongside the courthouse fence. I shook w/ rage at your very sentiment here, Juan. Why was our community fighting for Black lives subject to chemical weapons and assault? Injustice compounding.

9 January 2021 : My public health advisors (who also advise state & co govts) tell me they've been warning since the pandemic's onset that we needed to get the community infrastructure in place to administer the vaccine and their warnings went unheeded. Honestly, we're lucky it's not worse.
8 January 2021 : But then again, certain people in our city are tone policed while other people committing actual crimes go unpoliced. https://pamplinmedia.com/pt/9-news/449743-366391-wheeler-accuses-iannarone-campaign-manager-of-bullying

1 January 2021 : Pretty narrow view considering we're rounding the bend on close to what-- 900 shootings this year with 40 deaths? 55 traffic deaths. 45,000 people facing eviction. We all know where the real violence is and it ain't broken glass at closed Starbucks in a vacant downtown.
28 December 2020 : Don't generally sport gear but I'd step out in one of those Basquiat hoodies + some KD13s and not even care if the kids mercilessly mocked me for it -- such cool.
27 December 2020 : There are some great quotes in this movie, which is worth watching for the spectacle alone as Robespierre and Danton battle for the life of the revolution.

12 December 2020 : This isn't a rhetorical "gotcha" but a serious existential question. How are we going to ensure the public's fully informed and civically engaged? Because what's happening in Portland in a period of intense reckoning around our history of white supremacy clearly isn't cutting it.
12 December 2020 : Freedom of the press is essential to democracy, but is it truly "free" when it's corporate-owned, filtered through the lenses of the dominant culture? How many BIPoC reporters, editors, owners at @Oregonian @wweek @portlandmercury @KGWNews @KATUNews @KOINNews @fox12oregon @OPB ?

25 November 2020 : Searched this tweet so my daughter could cite it in a paper on progressives in the 2020 elections and *gasp* I got dragged for telling the mayor to eff asterisk cee kay you, but did not drop an actual F-bomb?

7 November 2020 : Smart people know, you don't f*ck with Philly fans.

29 September 2020 : With advisors like you, crafting good policy is easier. Thank you, too, for helping build the capacity we need to see it through.
28 September 2020 : Don't act smug, Portland. Open, accountable elections are tenuous here, too. The mayor's race is flanked on all sides by underhanded tactics, misinformation, and dark money.

20 September 2020 : Fantastic person, absolute mensch.
20 September 2020 : If you really want a basis for evaluating our relative ethics: at one debate during the 2016 mayoral election, we were all asked what other candidate we would vote for if we couldn't choose ourselves. Jules Bailey and Ted Wheeler chose each other. I chose Bim Ditson. pic.twitter.com/Z1lyogPQH2
20 September 2020 : My answer's, "heck yeah," but YYMV. https://katu.com/news/local/willamette-week-are-voters-be-ready-for-someone-like-sarah-iannarone
19 September 2020 : I look forward to one day being defined by my successes rather than my failiures, in relation to my own worth rather than of the (sometimes awful) men around me, and ultimately (I hope, one day) in my own words. But until then, there's always Twitter, lol.
19 September 2020 : Sure, schedule a call http://sarah2020.com/talktosarah
19 September 2020 : The mayor let's this happen night after night but let's talk instead about why my dissertation isn't done yet. https://twitter.com/jovannithe1st/status/1307192330831581185
19 September 2020 : I absolutely adore Bim. He's a gem of a human. pic.twitter.com/Ry4qjebvvS
18 September 2020 : Have to ask yourself in what universe it is moral or ethical to spend $150 million fighting a community demand that we cut $50 million from the Police Budget. Wheeler's administration is a tax on this city. Portland cannot survive four more years of this. https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2020/09/17/28837035/police-estimate-going-over-annual-budget-by-at-least-15-million
17 September 2020 : Yes, this! I don't want people to vote for me because they like me. I want them to vote for me because they trust me to fight for them and to work hard to do right by them. Let's focus on strengthening #OurPortland together. https://twitter.com/wintersunraye/status/1306706132094705665
17 September 2020 : Hurl all the personal insults at me from whatever side you want, that's par for the course in campaign season. But when it comes to policy, I've got binders full of receipts, lol. pic.twitter.com/XMZHoy2RMI

14 September 2020 : Hang in there folks. Relief is not here yet, but it's coming. People are cooped up indoors, fatigued, headachey, worried, stressed, irritable. Choose your words wisely and give others the benefit of the doubt. Eat your veggies, hydrate, and rest as much as you can. #MondayMorning https://twitter.com/RobMayeda/status/1305268918538309632
12 September 2020 : We've known for decades that global warming would lead to intensified fires. Not sure how bad it's got to get before we act with requisite urgency across all levels of government. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/09/oregons-historic-wildfires-the-unprecedented-was-predictable.html?outputType=amp&__twitter_impression=true
12 September 2020 : Sorry about that. They actually hit five people on our core campaign team this week, as well. They're very committed to getting Wheeler re-elected, I guess. We can deliver you another sign, no problem or swing by our office to pick up between 11-5 daily. http://sarah2020.com/lawnsign

6 September 2020 : #OurPortland has a strong regional identity and the only directly-elected regional government in the US, which helps us ensure our cities cooperate with each rather than compete. People trying to sow divisiveness among us can buzz right off.
5 September 2020 : Thank you 👊
3 September 2020 : And let's be clear-- I expect and am prepared for this abuse from the alt-right. It's what these times demand and what I signed up for. What I didn't sign up for was Portland leftists cyberbullying me, my staff, and my supporters. Be better than them. Show solidarity.
2 September 2020 : The avg life expectancy of a restaurant is five years; the Arleta Library was open for almost fifteen before it shuttered due to COVID. But yeah, let's give the guy who opened a betamax rental store with his parent's money props for his business acumen. https://www.wweek.com/news/2016/03/30/is-ted-wheeler-ready-to-be-portlands-mayor/ pic.twitter.com/CFHq4a6j15
2 September 2020 : Everybody so worried about that bowl, my life feels somewhat gregarious again, lol.
1 September 2020 : Thanks for the feedback. I've tried to carefully decry violence when I see it, esp when it's PPB doing it. What I saw last night was on the ground floor of a residential tower, which I take seriously from a public health and neighborhood perspective.
1 September 2020 : Tried to offer the caveat that I'm over on Foster, not on the ground. Also, I take the threat of fire in dense urban neighborhoods seriously, especially after Grenfell.
31 August 2020 : I really cannot fathom Wheeler penning a paragraph like this, let alone drafting a roadmap for bringing it to fruition. I take this seriously because lives are on the line. We need leaders w/ a plan. pic.twitter.com/9skczzVU8P
30 August 2020 : Dang, you just made me look wicked smart. pic.twitter.com/UhUTl3efJA
30 August 2020 : Very confused by the mayor's proposed solution to the nightly violence at this presser. Braggadociosly commits to solve via community coalition (similar his #A17 photo op), but from what I can tell, those groups just called for his resignation. How's that gonna work?
30 August 2020 : (this whole thread)
30 August 2020 : Wheeler's police demonstrated last Sat they serve as a private security force for Trump supporters. Again today, they failed to apply the law equitably. Despite details of this rally being public, the mayor/police commissioner appears to be out of town. Now, someone has died. https://twitter.com/JulesBoykoff/status/1299936324191805445

28 August 2020 : Wheeler has rolled out the red carpet for Trump. For years. Wheeler's police have brutalized #EverydayAntifascist & protesters. dThis week, his police serve as a private security force for Trump supporters. Portlanders deserve better. http://Sarah2020.com/about
28 August 2020 : Damn. https://twitter.com/karinapdx/status/1299183631802331137
26 August 2020 : Dear Kenosha, Portland stands in solidarity with you, #BlackLivesMetter .
26 August 2020 : Last year, Portland's police budget was not $100M. It was almost $250M, but point taken.
25 August 2020 : Sir Francis Bacon's clearly sick & tired of your cops firing chemical weapons at our neighbors, Police Commissioner Wheeler. (Good thing he's 15 lbs. and we only have one PepperBall in the house.) https://twitter.com/jakedockter/status/1298392477045465089 pic.twitter.com/4YG57a55Py

22 August 2020 : My tone gets critiqued a lot, and that's gendered. I'm being practical. My job is unseatimg an incumbent backed by the establishment. A write-in campaign doesn't show up in polling or on the phones. I have one job the next eight weeks: make sure undecideds choose me, not Ted.

22 August 2020 : Please don't sit this election out. Ted Wheeler has failed our city miserably and we have a very real opportunity to elect a progressive champion with practical solutions to our most pressing problems. Eyes on the prize, Portland. https://sarah2020.com/en/policies/
22 August 2020 : 3️⃣ CONNECT US WITH YOUR COMMUNITY In addition to reaching people we don't know (yet) you can help by connecting us with people near your home or who you know. Order a lawn sign or host a (virtual) meet & greet. This is how we win. http://Sarah2020.com/host http://Sarah2020.com/lawnsign
22 August 2020 : 2️⃣ PHONE & TEXT BANK We're strategically talking to tens of thousands of voters each month and hearing their concerns. Your testimonial about why you believe Wheeler has failed and why I will be a good mayor to replace him really makes a difference. http://Sarah2020.com/volunteer
22 August 2020 : 1️⃣ DONATE The 6-to-1 pubic match resets for the general. Buying advertising, sending mail, paying campaign staff, phones & internet, distributing (and redistributing lol) lawn signs all cost a lot of money. (Wheeler campaigns from the mayor's office.) http://Sarah2020.com/donate
21 August 2020 : Ms. Harris remembers the impacts of and pain experienced by the community, gives the example of Albina Head Start where one of Kendra's sons attended. "Everyone there was affected by her death, too."
14 August 2020 : Young protesters reaching out asking who they should call for help about this threat perfectly illustrates the futility of current public safety expendutures. Who are our kids supposed to call when they don't trust the police? https://twitter.com/itsjustmeezra97/status/1293961544544292864
14 August 2020 : My daughter and her friends have wide berth to do something along those lines. They meet frequently in backyards, driceways, and parking lots to eat together, chat, relax...6ft apart. Young people are miserable w/o each other. We need to keep them alive while keeping them alive.

9 August 2020 : This gaslighting is psychological abuse.
8 August 2020 : C'mon now, Steve. "Dealing responsibly w/ both" is predicated on communicating responsibly & responding responsibly-- neither of which PPB is doing right now. Dealing responsbily begins w/ holding PPB accountable for their disinformation campaigns & indiscriminate use of force.

7 August 2020 : I get asked, "Will you condemn the violence in the streets, the property damage?" Police executing people in our streets is the real violence. Black lives are more important than petty vandalism, we cannot forget that in this historic moment 💕✊
6 August 2020 : Wheeler needs to stop talking about Black Portland like it's a monolith led by Black cops Turner & Lovell and start concemning the same violence in his own police that he decried at the national level aginst Trump's. Last night, his police beat protesters & launched tear gas. pic.twitter.com/O2VGGOC7rB
6 August 2020 : "I've heard they lie down with goats and eat something called 'Fakin Bacon'... we cannot let this go unchecked, it's un-American," Trump tweeted just this morning. 🐐🥓

1 July 2020 : I have only one question: who loses their job if/when all of these words (so many words so many) don't translate into outcomes?
1 July 2020 : We've got a city commissioner who champions herself a human rights and equity champion while opposing the elimination of racist exclusionary zoning and sitting out the conversation on Portland Police tear-gassing people in the streets?
27 June 2020 : Being on the receiving end of this brutality (incognito preferably) would breed empathy and bring change quickly, I'd imagine.
26 June 2020 : Ah yes, last week's episode in the West Hills Autonomous Zone comes to mind.
26 June 2020 : We need structural change, not slogans. "Several of the measures were dialed back — they would no longer ban chokeholds or tear gas, for example — and are far from meeting the demands of demonstrators who have been mounting nightly protests..." https://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-legislators-special-session-police-accountability-reform/

16 June 2020 : Are you the same "Aubrey Danner" who's been trashing my campaign director, @GregoryMcKelvey , as if he's not a professional worth every cent he earns and then some-- a highly qualified, hardworking, independent Black man who busts his ass supporting his family and our community? https://twitter.com/aubrey_danner/status/1272796902514233344 pic.twitter.com/OFlLskjrxU

14 June 2020 : This is troubling if true. @OregonGovBrown promised the people of Portland that the National Guard troops she was sending (despite our demands to the contrary) would NOT be armed or near crowds but in administrative/support function only. https://twitter.com/IwriteOK/status/1272034573916844032

31 May 2020 : This could be a huge problem given the lack of necessary resources there, including water. Do we need to send in help? Cc @pdxstreetmedic @PopMobPDX @PNWYLF - - is anyone on the ground able to check up on this sitch and report back? https://twitter.com/colemerkel/status/1266952028669927424
30 May 2020 : I spoke at length w several biz owners & workers along MLK. Offered all assistance cleaning up. This shop owner was eager to chat, we discussed his experiences. I offered to help clean up; he took me up on my offer. I'm trying to be the kind of leader I want to see in the world.
29 May 2020 : [Shelter-in-placegate update] Wheeler's office has retracted their statement from today's vigil that he's on vacation. Instead, they say, he is away dealing w/ a family emergency. I wish his family the best. (I also hope our city survives his comms team.) https://twitter.com/alex_zee/status/1266475172644524032?s=19
29 May 2020 : I am absolutely livid. Our community is out here sacrificing, volunteering, donating, many struggling to survive COVID-19 and the mayor breaks the shelter-in-place order for R&R? Wheeler has demonstrated time and again that he does not believe the rules apply to him.
29 May 2020 : Wait, lemme get this straight: people are sleeping in the streets w/o shelter access and family businesses are folding due to social distancing requirements and we're at 15.7% unemployment because of shelter-in-place, but Portland's mayor is out of town on... ...vacation? https://twitter.com/alex_zee/status/1266455932533215233

18 May 2020 : 25% of the area INSIDE the UGB is wilderness either through riparian zone set aside or bond aquisition. City of Portland residents enjoy a robust 1.69 acres of parkland per 100 residents. Constrained sprawl helps preserve parks, natural habitat, and wilderness land.
18 May 2020 : Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "concierge position" as you call it, IS the office, that $148K essentially his FTE plus some program overhead? So the office is not going away, but it's single staffer is...? This is confusing.

26 March 2020 : If I agreed it were that simple, wouldn't have spent the last year of my life trying to unseat Wheeler. I'm sorry, but I've been out here and while I find your #TacticalOptimism admirable, I disagree that what you're proposing is possible on his watch. Try Milwaukie/ Clackamas.
26 March 2020 : Again, I never quibble w your proposals, Tim; it's the practical application under the current administration. I mean, when it costs Homer Williams an extra million bucks to get through the red tape, ideas like yours might be facing an uphill battle, is all. But keep me posted.
26 March 2020 : Maybe instead of the mayor's office starving R2DToo for funding, they should take the city's most resilient shelter model and replicate it citywide. But what do I know? pic.twitter.com/xyMaiPIkZw
26 March 2020 : Furthermore, the sweeps have not stopped. It's insanity. https://twitter.com/sarahforpdx/status/1243054550518358016?s=19
26 March 2020 : Advocates for the homeless have been yelling #SweepsKill #SleepNotSweeps #NoDisplacement from the rooftops but our local leaders refused to act ethically until a global pandemic struck. But no, it's just more BS. Exhausting BS.
23 March 2020 : "I want a plan to review in 24 hours" - - No joke, I'm surviving on fumes from Cuomo's leadership right now since there's literally zero to be found in my corner of Oregon.
22 March 2020 : Yup! The active transportation community is hustling on this tip already. (Also, Cuomo is leading like boss, while Portland is apparently devoid of any electeds willing to act with courage or clarity on this situation.) https://twitter.com/sarahforpdx/status/1240661613348192256?s=19

13 March 2020 : Knew that some day that my doctoral concentration on the history & theory of urban planning would come in handy.
13 March 2020 : (fyi it's @PortlandBPS ; the one you linked to is in Portland, Maine 😉)
13 March 2020 : Doubtful BPS is the most egregious. Also, she's a bureau director, not mid-level manager. The higher up the food chain folx go, the less they're needed in meatspace, ironically.
12 March 2020 : @SometimesPDX Well, Portland has had a housing state on emergency on the books since 2015, so theoretically, we could have been doing this all along if we gave a damn.
8 March 2020 : Showing up with optimism and enthusiasm day after day in service to others is what keeps up safe, strong, and connected. If we persist this way, the fairer world we imagine is possible. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9AMyeH0KDPY

20 February 2020 : Is @AlbusBrooks still Council Prez? He can vouch. I gave him and Mayor Hancock and about 100 other civic leaders from Denver a presentation at PSU after arriving on bike. Protip? Request a haircut that looks better after the helmet comes off. Good luck and happy riding! 🍀🚲

4 February 2020 : Lol, heard a rumor that the incumbent doesn't think I can beat him on the issues, leadership, or priorities. This, the fourth comprehensive policy package my amazing team has released, is a plan clean up after the messes left behind by the likes of him.
30 January 2020 : It's no joke, Portland, the global crisis of neoliberalism buffeting cities. The question is whether we're going to allow the global financier class, the Ted Wheelers of the world, to keep selling us down the river or do we fight back, boot them from power, and change course? https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1222399567947272193
28 January 2020 : Lol, you've got Wheeler or me in terms of who can actually win a city-wide election at this point. So choose the candidate who hurls desperate tropes at twenty-something staffers or the one who laughs it off then goes back to focusing on the issues 💅 No-brainer to me, but YMMV.

18 January 2020 : #NOI5RQX
18 January 2020 : In other news @nomorefreeways , @TinaKotek commenting to @Jeffmapes on #NOI5RQ : this is a real challenge, we need to move much more quickly toward region-wide tolling on Portland-area freeways.... the entire network from the Columbia River to the Boone Bridge down in Wilsonville.
18 January 2020 : I know what you mean by that, lol; I need Dirk to elaborate for me what he understands Kotek means by it in context of the $120M for a housing state of emergency discussed in the podcast.
18 January 2020 : ...she wants to be able to free up cities to do that more...." What does that mean, declaring a state of emergency to help Oregon cities site homeless shelters more? Could you please elaborate? https://www.opb.org/news/article/election-podcast-opb-politics-now-oregon-episodes/
18 January 2020 : Listening to the @OPB "Politics Now" podcast legislative session preview and @dirquez said something confusing. @TinaKotek wants to use "$120M for housing and homelessness including declaring a state of emergency that would help cities around the state site homeless shelters...
18 January 2020 : I feel you. I have bike bike days (30+ miles) and big walk days (20K+ steps) and for every bit of juice I get from the exercise, the environmental threats wring me out. That's why I'm here fighting: more joy time, less fear time for me and my neighbors 💕✊

20 November 2019 : RT @egoldmanrevolt: While sondland is the flavor of the day it’s worth remembering he not only gave 1m to trump but was a large contributor…
20 November 2019 : There is a fundamental question I ask myself and, once I am mayor, will ask of Portlanders: what does a non-sexist city look like? The next fifty years is less about what we build than what we unbuild.

1 November 2019 : Feel your pain. We make life hard for residents with low carbon footprints when we need to be making it easier. As I explained in this conversation w @SteveDuin , we need to plan many steps ahead to make sure we fit in the basics, like a "chess game."

25 October 2019 : They're awesome for Barcelona. I want to try everything we can here. But we trend toward design determinism in this town, hence profliferation of gold-medal planning documents alongside also-ran outcomes. Let's set the metrics, then empower & fund communities to achieve them.

16 October 2019 : @kettlemoraine @msfour @schmangee @briandavispdx @arudwick @ambrown @andersem Which means we can can one up on cities with their amazing transit systems (and even their great bike networks) by investing in the pedestrian realm first. Dollar for dollar you get more bang for your buck and you're going to need it once those other infrastructure are in place.

11 October 2019 : (Portland's air quality is horrible, we're expanding freeways, our cycling network is abysmal, and our transit sits stuck in congestion, too.)
11 October 2019 : Portland has boxed outside its weigh class on the world stage since @SamAdams_tweets administration. Problem is, when you're a model city, it comes with great responsibility: Portland can't be auto-dominated w/ inequality & GHG rising and still claim "Climate Leader" #hypocrisy
9 October 2019 : Bonus points to anyone willing to rebrand Aristotle for the avocado toast set.
9 October 2019 : (i'm gonna need help getting all that into a campaign slogan tho 🤣)
9 October 2019 : Aristotle conceptualized the capacity for applied wisdom as "phonesis." Danish planning scholar Bent Flyvbjerg applied it much later to matters of urban governance. In short, intelligence & experience in our leaders aren't worth jack unless they're undergirded by common sense.

4 October 2019 : @gordonrfriedman @ShemiaFagan HB 2017 allowed local jurisdictions to drop speeds to 20 MPH on residential streets, but those aren't the streets that are killing our neighbors. Maybe the auditor's office can assess where our #VisionZero dollars are going and to what end? We need help.

2 November 2018 : @justinskolnick @PDX_BizAlliance Can't stop thinking about how the people in that picture-- their identities, their body language-- is the OPPOSITE of what I fear rn and laughing my ass off at how completely out of touch and consistently wrong on EVERY ISSUE the PBA is.

9 July 2018 : Right? I had no idea I was going to find my tribe with this tweet 😊 Urban planning and politics are so male-dominated (not just in body but in thought) it's delightful imagining how cities might unfold differently were teams of status-quo breaking fabulousness at the helm.
12 June 2018 : That said, they cut their own hair and give themselves tats, wear bralettes and Birkensticks, tie their mom jeans w rope and old charging cords-- austerity never looked so good.

13 May 2018 : Except Felicia Williams, who can suck one this Mother's Day for her Mad Men-era insult to awesome women who understand it takes a village to do it all. MOTHERS often make the best leaders because we know how to bring people together to get shit done. https://t.co/rx2Hc0PaFd
