It's true. It's the best and clearest and most accurate explainer I've seen of how RCV/STV is going to work in Portland's council district elections.
@majaVharris has a great animation on how the new voting system will work. Much better- and more accurate- than what the Charter Commission and allies published prior to the charter vote. Thanks to Devin and Ian Boone! youtu.be/9iZLW8FzUxQ?si=hiCv…

Totally agree. We have to change the law here in Oregon to make it possible to commit someone who clearly cannot take care of themselves and most certainly will die on our streets. This is not compassion.
A lot of maddening moments in @nicole_a_hayden 's fantastic piece on how it's nearly impossible to commit someone who's mentally ill w/o their consent (even when it's clear they've lost the ability to consent), but this one, for me, was the worst 👇🏼 1/2

For Valentine's, we're inviting couples into our studio to tell us how they met & fell in love, a la When Harry Met Sally. We built a set inspired by this one 👇🏼 & now we're all ready to 🎥. Will be the best family heirloom ever ♥️ Link w/ time slots to sign up coming tmrw.

Alphonso Davies, whose Liberian parents fled a civil war, who was born in a refugee camp in Ghana, who went to school in Edmonton, who came up through Vancouver's youth academy, who stars for Bayern Munich, scores Canada's first-ever goal in the World Cup. Soccer is the best.

Talking to Yang's supporters about what they would do would a $1,000 a month got some interesting responses. Here's one from Russell Peterson who used to be a Trump supporter until he heard Yang talk about automation
