Government should be like lemonade. A well-balanced blend of three ingredients: lemon juice, sugar, and water. Dependable, affordable, not too sweet, and not too sour. Portlanders are sick and tired of business as usual in City Hall. It is making a lot of bad lemonade. We are frustrated, dissatisfied, and struggling. Continue reading

American students across the country are standing up and demanding an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In response, corrupt university administrators are swarming the students with police in riot gear, staging snipers on the roofs overlooking the demonstrators, and violently assaulting students and their allies.

I'm in Missouri right now with Dr. Jill Stein. We’re in the midst of a nationwide tour visiting states where we are working to get her on the ballot for November While we were in St. Louis, students from Washington University asked us to join them at their Gaza Solidarity encampment.

“Now that I have your attention,” said Christina Khalil, Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate in New Jersey, “let me tell you why we should all be worried about the climate crisis and why the climate crisis is real.” The day after a 4.8 earthquake and its multiple aftershocks hit New Jersey, many extreme right-wing skeptics took issue with Christina’s Khalil’s statement that “The climate crisis is real.” Christina also wondered out loud why there appeared to be more earthquakes in New Jersey than in the past.

I have called Portland home since 1992, and if I've learned one truth about Portlanders it's this: We are creative and independent people. We take care of our neighbors, lift each other up, and love our time outdoors. But that doesn't mean things are always easy. Our city is in a downward spiral. Housing is too damn expensive.
