Washington County progressive candidates should remind the public centrism enables fascism.

The death of the petrodollar is upon us

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world. The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen. Stand up and FIGHT BACK.

We have the money.

Truly a perfect news alert

This is a fascinating lesson in failing to meet the moment. To see a candidate take the approach of "things need to get slightly better" in this day and age is wild. Our unhoused neighbors are dying. Immigrants are getting kidnapped. Cuts are coming to public services as the wealth gap widens.

Oh no! The millionaires CAN pay more TAXES!

I think Trump will be unalived by one of his former supporters.

It’s a life of evictions for our neighbors on the street

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

It’s absolutely wild that impeachment isn’t the number one priority for Democrats during the midterm elections. Trump should be impeached for just associating with Epstein. What a bunch of cowards.

You mean people didn’t like that elected officials could execute constituents on the spot???

The Supreme Court:

Woah I did not know this was happening!

Pretty standard for Oregon Republicans

It’s almost like the rich in Portland don’t care about the poor. Who knew??? 🤷‍♂️

I saw Carrie Brownstein walking down the street yesterday. It's like finding the Bigfoot of Portland.

During a trailblazing public service career, Avel Gordly worked to improve police accountability, mental health treatment and the lives of disadvantaged Oregonians. She died Monday of natural causes. theoregonian.visitlink.me/65GYZi

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to expanding who gets to belong in American democracy. From civil rights to economic justice, he challenged power and widened the path for Black Americans. May we honor his legacy not just with words, but by continuing the work. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

would like to shout out two portland dem candidates I’m really excited about this year: - dr tammy carpenter @oregontammy.bsky.social in HD27 - john “waz” wasielewski wazfororegon.com in HD38 both could actively use donations and volunteers! tammy is doing canvasses now and waz is starting soon

God forbid we expand democracy in Portland! 🙄 Please read what the @your2centspdx.bsky.social campaign is actually proposing. The people can fund the programs they want. Thousands of municipalities around the globe have a participatory budgeting process. It’s not new. Portland is behind the curve.

I used to live off of Devon! My favorite restaurant was Ghareeb Nawaz. Their chicken biryani was amazing!

I'm disappointed to hear this kind of behavior coming from Councilor Koyama-Lane's office. Sprout is someone I know personally, whom I met on the campaign trail. I trust her complaints are legitimate. The city needs to investigate this matter fully.

Multnomah County is on track towards a full rollout of free preschool for every kid, with good pay for every teacher. No income or immigration status checks! All abilities, home languages, and workday schedules welcome! #LetsGrowMultnomahCounty #PreschoolforAll #FullyFundPreschoolforAll

City Council discussing the "All Capybara Are Beautiful" meme is why I watch this shit 🤘 The collision of power and meme culture makes me giddy lol.

If you don't condemn racism, you're no better than a racist.

MAGA/Republicans are not going to believe the testimony or the photos that will come out of these concentration camps.

Excited to go to Beaverton tomorrow and canvass for @oregontammy.bsky.social and talk about universal health care in Oregon! Should be a good time!

"I don't have an ideology." is a dog whistle for conservative.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

I can see the dawn; may our only regret be that it took so long.

Haha nope!

People still don't understand how bad this is going to get. They are tear-gassing CHILDREN. The protest today could have turned into a massacre. We live in that reality, and we must be prepared for it. They will stop at nothing to hold on to power.

Every day, this scene becomes increasingly real.

They’re even pepper spraying middle-aged white moms now. ICE is going to lose all its funding!

Old white men would rather yell at the first Asian-American woman city councilor than go to therapy.

We will never let them take off those god damn uniforms. #fuckice

The PMC is good at lying and racism.

Looks like Trump is preparing to ramp down operations in Minnesota. My concern is that once the pressure is off for a while, they will ramp operations back up in MN but just not as extreme. Then ICE will create havoc in another city, and this will start all over again. Trump must be stopped NOW!

This goes up today.

Do I need to say more?

TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.

Protests are not enough anymore.

People kept asking me how much worse can it get? I would respond: 1) As far as we know, there aren’t mass killings in their camps. 2) They aren’t publicly executing people in the street. Scratch number 2 off the list today.

Remember when liberals were mad at Trump and his ilk for trying to cancel Jimmy Kimmel? How about we see that anger again over this execution in Minneapolis?

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words. If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?
