First one in town I’ve seen....

Bill name: Antisemitic Awareness Act...

Got this response when I emailed her about it. I have not been a fan of all of her votes, but I appreciate this one. Most of OR’s reps voted for this bill https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202486...

Are you tired of voting for the “lesser of two evils”? Wish you had a say in who you got to vote for? Well you can, if you vote in the primaries! Primary elections determine who will be on the ballot in the general election. If you want to vote in the primaries for a party, you must select that party on your voter...

Bill SB1596 has passed the house and senate and was sponsored by two Eugene reps: House Rep Holvey and Senatator Prozanski....

The legislature has no business reversing a citizen ballot initiative. The entire point of ballot initiatives is to enable citizens to go over the heads of the legislature, it is a check on their power. We are very fortunate in Oregon to have that right, many states do not. But that check on their power is useless if they can...

People are collecting signatures for a ballot initiative that would require all new tolls on state highways to go to a public vote before being implemented. They need 200,000 signatures to get this on the ballot. From there, people can vote as to whether they want this new rule or not. Polls are a regressive tax, like sales tax,...

Is it just me or the borderline fascist anti-homeless rhetoric just simply out of control? Not only do you have entire topics with hundreds of posts advocating for forced institutionalization, calls for vigilante violence, and downright genocidal discussions daily – the mods seem completely absent at all from these topics....

I love it! No goddamned cars blasting around all day and night anymore. Enjoying it while it lasts.

According to EWEB, there are a little more than 3500 people in SE Eugene affected by a power outage....

I don’t really know how to describe what’s coming down at the moment. It’s not snow, it’s not rain, and it’s not hail. It’s some unholy amalgamation of the three. I went out with an umbrella and it sounded like hail hitting it, but by the time I got back home it was coated in a layer of pebbly ice....

Any The House of the Dead arcade cabinets in Eugene? Dying to play it the way it’s meant to be played

Received this text a few minutes ago:...

'Tis the season to get that tree out of your house and put the chair you moved to make room for it back where it belongs! I’m curious what people are doing with their trees this year.

They’re good. I’d like to go see em live sometime.

Just wanted to let people know it’s finally open. If you live in the area, it’s super-convenient, and really well-designed!

Anyone have any idea what that was?

52 degrees and lightly raining....

Barbie Walker is running for the Ward 7 seat and is the candidate of choice for local republicans and MAGA hat wearers. Who is funding her campaign? I pulled the data from orestar and here’s the results. I have left out individuals unless they are associated with a well-known local business....

I saw someone rocking a full-on Oogie-Boogie outfit, from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Definitely tops for the evening.
