A campaign to use Portland clean energy funds to hire more cops has been lying to voters, a Spokane wildfire forces evacuations, and Black and brown birding groups in Seattle. This, and more news from across the #Cascadia bioregion: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

Crucial to note that the Spokane 3 were just convicted of this same charge, also essentially based off a Facebook post to come to a protest. All our reporting: www.rangemedia.co/spokane-9-pr...

The New York Times profiled our movement! #Cascadia www.nytimes.com/2026/06/13/u...

Any time a PNW elected official talks about how “Trump is destroying democracy,” they need to be asked “then what are your red lines?” Greater autonomy is a choice we can make!

“We’re in an abusive relationship with the federal government. Divorce is a valid response.” #Cascadia www.nytimes.com/2026/06/13/u...

In a class-action lawsuit filed Thursday in Marion County Circuit Court, they argue the state’s prison system is violating the Oregon Constitution, which prohibits the “harsh, degrading, or dehumanizing treatment of prisoners.”

Vote-by-mail is still uncertain in #Cascadia, Oregon's population is getting older, chinook salmon threatened by parasites in the Upper Klamath, and Fantagraphics turns 50. This and more news from across the #PNW: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

We're working on streamlining that customs inspection to zero minutes. #Cascadia

Think what #Cascadia could do if we kept our share of these wasted dollars here at home.

We’re facing a Climate Crisis & a hostile Federal Government. Oregon and Washington give more to the Federal Government than we receive & we need to have a real discussion about soft secession & a move to bioregionalism. We can have Cascadia, but we have to fight for it. Read the full article below.

The federal government in April erected a fence around parts of a downtown Eugene building, which hosts an ICE field office and has been the site of frequent protests.

This is completely the wrong approach, and we need to organize and push back hard against austerity

I sincerely did not believe I’d live to see 40, but I couldn’t think of a more awesome celebration of this moment, being surrounded by some of the coolest people I’ve ever met! I feel so much love from, and for this community!

Some of us remember what actually happened to fascists on D-Day. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/u...

When #Cascadia is independent, rest assured we'll put these monitors back. We believe in science. m.kuow.org/stories/ocea...

This story at @columbiainsight.bsky.social is bonkers. DOE has awarded $2 billion to 2 firms (including one connected to Peter Thiel) to start enriching uranium in a derelict building at Hanford, North America's most toxic waste site. columbiainsight.org/the-return-o...

Good morning, #Cascadia! In today's news, learn about the BC chief leading the fight against pipelines, the return of California condors to Oregon, and guides to more than 100 Pride events across Cascadia: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

Andrew Engelson recently spoke with @eugeneweekly.com about CDA's new campaign for #Cascadia independence: eugeneweekly.com/2026/05/28/s...

Enough is enough. "it’s time for the people of Oregon and Washington to consider a radical but rational solution: separation from the United States." #Cascadia www.cascadia-journal.com/its-time-for...

Two people who were hired to gather signatures for a Portland ballot initiative that would use clean energy funds to hire police say they were trained to mislead the public about the proposal. At least one person has already detailed their concerns about the campaign in a state ethics complaint.

If the regime continues to prosecute critics, pressure news outlets to shut down, attack our vote-by-mail system, and engage in lawless wars, it’s time for the people of #Cascadia to consider a radical but rational solution: separation from the United States. www.cascadia-journal.com/its-time-for...

All three Spokane protesters found guilty. We won't stand for this.

Well, I guess it's official: I'm now an organizer and activist! @eugeneweekly.com interviewed me about #Cascadia, bioregionalism, and why Oregon and Washington need to work toward separation from the US: eugeneweekly.com/2026/05/28/s...

There's a march this Saturday at Cal Anderson park in Seattle to get mayor Katie Wilson to declare a state of emergency, as trans people flee red states and come to Seattle only to find that local aid orgs are overwhelmed and the police scoop them up in anti-homeless raids.

Thanks to the amazing poets, a packed crowd, and Vermillion in Seattle for an incredible #Cascadia Day celebration last night! 💙🤍💚

Tonight on the People's Republic of Capitol Hill...

It's your #Cascadia Day edition of Cascadia Journal: the federal conspiracy trial of three Spokane protesters opens today, OR primary ballots at due on May 19, and a Seattle theater raises funds after thieves stole copper wire from the venue. www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

The federal conspiracy trial of three Spokane protesters that opens today is a test of how far the Trump regime can go in its effort to criminalize dissent and stifle first amendment protest rights: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

Happy #Cascadia Day! I'm grateful to live in a place full of incredible natural beauty, and so many creative, empathetic, and optimistic people. #PNW 💙🤍💚

I love tabling for @cascadiademocratic.bsky.social and chatting with people. A woman I talked to at the Capitol Hill farmers market drew a sketch of me 🙂

Yet another argument for fiscal and political autonomy for #Cascadia. Rather than spending our tax money on a bloated military and an opulent ballroom, we should be using it on priorities here at home.

#Cascadia Day is just a few days away! Seattle friends, come celebrate with a lively poetry reading at Vermillion on Capitol Hill at 7 pm Monday May 18. It's free, but we'll be raising money Migrant Survival Fund & KOI, an org that supports trans people who've fled other states for Washington.

There's a lot stake in the upcoming felony trial of three protesters against ICE in Spokane. The Trump administration hopes to criminalize first amendment rights to protest and impose severe penalties on civil disobedience. My latest for #Cascadia Journal: www.cascadia-journal.com/trial-of-3-s...

Responding to sixteen months of the Trump administration’s descent into authoritarianism, the organization @cascadiademocratic.bsky.social is launching a campaign in Oregon and Washington to begin the process for these states to separate from the United States. cascadiademocratic.org/news/

If the federal government and federal courts to continue to meddle in Washington state elections, it's time for the state to assert its sovereignty and defy court orders. That's how you defend democracy. #Cascadia

This is fascinating: the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe is asking for full control of Dungeness Spit, a federal wildlife refuge. It's a great idea, and we should start doing a lot more transfer of federal land to Indigenous nations here in #Cascadia: www.kuow.org/stories/wash...

We're working on this, btw

Good morning #Cascadia! A federal court ruled that ICE goons can continue to tear gas Portland protesters, a rural mayor in BC says: fuck it, let's raise taxes, and some people are sad about men's sportsball teams moving or not moving: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

Thanks to all who donated to CDA's diaper drive! You helped provide 17 vulnerable immigrant families in the eastern suburbs of Seattle with nearly a month's supply. We wish we didn't have to do this -- these families live in fear of the feds' mass deportation campaign, but we support our neighbors.

The Port of Seattle tries to greenwash the cruise industry, but the reality is that these monster ships generate tons of climate-killing CO2, harm wildlife, pollute the seas, and exploit foreign workers: www.cascadia-journal.com/cruise-ships...

DEADLINE EXTENDED: 17 at-risk immigrant families east of Seattle need help with diapers and wipes. Contribute to the Venmo account andyengelson or contact us by email by this Thursday, April 23. Thank you 🙏

ICE is obtaining surveillance cam data in Portland despite sanctuary laws, why DRIPA is critical to BC First Nations, how wolves impact #PNW ecosystems, and murals taking inspiration from the eruption of Loowit. It's your roundup of news from across #Cascadia www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

If and when there's an independent #Cascadia, we should definitely nationalize the BNSF rail line from Eugene to Vancouver BC. Give priority to passenger trains. We're sitting here waiting for a broken freight train to get fixed. 🙄

Set up a table with info on @cascadiademocratic.bsky.social at Eugene's farmers market, a staff member asks if I've paid for that spot. After telling her no, she says: "Oh you have to set up across the the street at The Anarchist Market." 😂
