Watching everyone’s goodbye videos to the Lloyd Center makes me want to cry. It’s the end of an era! And I never got to walk the mall with the Food Court 5000 group. Sigh 😭😭😭

So has anyone answered @multcomoyer.bsky.social’s question actually? Is it legal?
Kevin FosterMultnomah County Chair Vega Pederson hired Chris Oxley to lead their negotiations on the Moda Center renovation. Oxley formerly worked for the Blazers and currently serves as Board President at Sport Oregon, a nonprofit that has been lobbying for public funding of the Moda Center renovation.
Message to the mods: Have some basic pride in Portland, please. Dundon is never gonna pick you. #breakthedeadlock #evenstarforportland
Portland Jobs with JusticeYep, Council moderates wouldn't even back Kanal 4, the final amendment which was to simply say that the negotiating team should seek a return on investment for Portlanders in the Moda deal. Green: "Portlanders are watching, and they are pretty upset at the way we steward their funds in this City."🔥
It’s actually embarrassing af. It’s clear to me that the moderates don’t believe in our worth. They’ve embraced the doom loop narrative so hard they are willing to sell us out for pennies on the dollar and let Dundon treat us like a subprime city.
Kaliko CastilleA failure of their fiduciary responsibility. Scarcity mindset coupled with naive belief corporate social responsibility will be prioritized over pure capitalist greed. It's always funny DSA types get pegged as not understanding business when it's the Mod Squad that would lose at Monopoly.
What about candidates? Does this win me a spot on council? #picklesforlife
Shawn Fleekit is actually required that all council presidents get this tattoo. People need to read the dang charter!
The City’s position is pretty clear here: let’s take both threats off the table. The City will agree not to sue but only if the Blazers agree not to move. Seems like a logical and equal exchange but they won’t yet agree. So who is actually chilling negotiations here?
wrightkatuNEW: Internal emails obtained by KATU show Portland Trail Blazers leaders debated whether to respond to the City of Portland's questions on key pieces of a proposed Moda Center deal, with one executive saying the city's requests felt like "a trap”. katu.com/news/investi...
If we want to increase biking in Portland, we need a bike plan that prioritizes families tootling around their neighborhoods, not just for fit people who traverse the city as a lifestyle choice. I’m just a middle aged mom who wants to get to my local taqueria, ya know?

Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social
I love Portland and have spent almost a decade accomplishing some really hard things to help build belonging for all Portlanders. Learn more about who I am, what I’ve done, and my vision for this amazing city at evenstarforportland.com
Strong take. It’s lazy governing. They’d rather get sound bites then do anything that rocks the boat. Portland can do hard things but it takes courage to make it happen. I think some councilors forget who they actually work for. Let’s help them remember in November.
pnwpolicyangel aka Angelita 👼The conservative bloc would rather call on him to break ties than do the hard work of governing as the legislative body. They want him to do the Moda deal, they want him to tie break all the time, they don’t want to do oversight, at this point I think they want to be board members, not councilors
That’s exactly what’s happening
ambit's like they're trying to demoralize us www.kgw.com/article/spor...
He’s definitely playing daddy for some councilors but by charter he has no authority over council. The fact that the moderates want him to come rescue them when they can’t collaborate effectively should give us all the ick.
Willamette WeekMayor Keith Wilson for the first time broke a tie on the council, earning him the derisive title “daddy of the city” from one councilor.
However you feel about the opportunity we have to get community benefits (I agree!), this clearly shows that it was never intended to be a negotiation on behalf of the public’s best interest from the start. The council must demand accountability from the mayor. These are not his decisions to make.
Rip City Not Rip Off1/ OK! We analyzed all ~5,300 pages of public records on the Moda Center deal — every email, text, contract, and invoice produced so far. Before Portland commits ~$850M+ ($1.12B after interest), here’s what every Portlander should know. It’s not the story you’ve been told. 🧵
We are so close! Be a founding donor and help us get over the finish line this week! secure.actblue.com/donate/jamey...
Hey this means a lot. We are almost there! Only need 39 more donations to qualify. If you haven’t already, please pitch in to break the deadlock! 🙏
mitch (he/him)i should be trying to juice my own donations (i’m pretty close to T2), but i’d really like to see @jameyevenstar.bsky.social and @mullen4pdx.com hit the first tier of SDE matching funds in July to get a real shot at winning a seat. pitch in $10 and give each a donation matched 10:1
