All right, welcome to the show this week, everybody.

We are joined by two very special guests from the great city of Portland, a city I've never visited.

Although I did live in Austin, Texas for a while, and it's, I don't know, a good surrogate.

It's a surrogate, yeah.

Portland, Nashville, Austin, Asheville, they're all sister cities in a way, I think.

But, yes, we're joined by Olivia Capby and Mitch Green from Portland DSA.

And also, Mitch, you're on the, is it city council?

Are you a commissioner or a counselor?

I'm a counselor, yes.

I'm like one of the inaugural 12 of the new system that we have now.

So one of the four socialists on city counseling, in fact.

Right. Damn, the reds

really are taking over. That's right. I, uh, Olivia sent me a good article in, I don't know,

maybe it's W. Week, but I just kept reading it as Will Week. I don't know if it's,

Williamette Week. I don't know if that's... Willie I'm at week.

Okay.

It seems like people are really scared that you guys are coordinated.

It's like they're coordinated and that's scary.

Yeah.

Which makes sense because not a lot of people are coordinated anymore.

So if you could just get coordinated, like, you know, you've already won half the battle.

That's right.
