Oh FFS. A tremendous waste of public resources with the intent of terrorizing the public, succeeding in displacing a summer camp for kids. (I’m in downtown LA, 1.5 miles away, everything normal.)

If you think the white Union busting billionaire from apartheid South Africa is for working people but the working class assemblyman from Uganda is an elitist then its not economic justice you’re protecting its white supremacy.

Big news! Here’s what I’ve been working on intensely in the final few days, after thousands of Providence workers and many SEIU organizers have been building for literally DECADES

Oregonians please take action TODAY to save Preschool for All. Click to send emails to a bunch of legislators in a few easy steps. mailchi.mp/27bdbb56036e...

Oregonians, ALERT! Please contact Gov. Kotek RIGHT NOW

I can’t wait to see what the Chehalis Tribe does with this! Western Washingtonians and Oregonians will know exactly what I mean.

This is terrible. Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social, don't carry water for the rich crybabies who don't want to pay taxes. Show up for the rest of us who struggle to pay for childcare, and for a fantastic program that serves EVERYONE.

This is ICE. Tearing apart families. Terrorizing children. Militarizing our neighborhoods. Spending untold millions on cruelty to distract people from billionaires’ crimes. And all the while, covering their cowardly faces.

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.” Incredible reporting from @bikeportland.org

We could all learn something from Anelise

Watch out for this guy. During a protest in #Portland #PearlDistrict yesterday, he told me the music was too loud. I started to acknowledge the inconvenience, but then he said "if you don't stop, I will come back with a gun." I said that was inappropriate. He hit my hand with his cane.

Just another day at the office. Protesting the decision by JP Morgan's property manager to dump union janitors at M Financial Plaza in Portland, Oregon

I will never forget that @Wayfair doubled down on doing business with ICE/DHS while Trump 1.0 was separating small children from their parents opb.org/article/2025...

Let’s assume & fight for the survival of democracy & rule of law in the US & make part of Project 2029 holding Trump, Musk, their companies, the Heritage Foundation & all co-conspirators liable, seize their assets to rebuild & make much better everything they are illegally demolishing, shall we?

Trump is betraying the American people so his billionaire buddies can profit.

ICE out of our neighborhoods, hands off our neighbors!

This is a pretty big attack on the First Amendment. And an encroachment on universities' powers to decide what protests to allow and who to expel.....

A milestone: the kid beat baba at tavla for the first time today, 5-4

from inside Aladdin Theater, Portland, Oregon

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

A small group of us are organizing our neighborhood to build community & resistance to Trump. After we put up 300 flyers & Inauguration happened, 150 people showed up, fired up! We figured "build it and they will come," and we were right. You could do the same. worthfightingforstjohns.org

Portlanders, the New Seasons Labor Union has been asking people boycott the store since their strike at Thanksgiving. And now it seems mgt has fired a union leader at the Arbor Lodge store on a pretext. Please, DO NOT SHOP AT NEW SEASONS until the workers have a fair contract. Just don't.

BREAKING: Acting FBI director confirms DOJ has ordered him to fire 8 FBI executives & share the names of every employee who worked on the January 6th insurrection cases. What a world when the Nazi who wore the "Camp Auschwitz" shirt is pardoned & the people who convicted him are punished. Horrific.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

An old favorite, chilly morning in #StJohnsPDX

Just wanted to share an encouraging development. Right after the election, Shelley and I started organizing a community gathering as part of the WeAreWorthFightingFor.org network, inspired by a mass call with Working Families Party and allied organizations.

Without downplaying the damage that Trump 2.0 will do, I’ve been harboring cautious optimism that the movement’s internal contradictions will make it stumble.

“Donald Trump nominated a man to be AG, that the House Ethics Committee determined statutory rapist … GOP Speaker Johnson tried to cover it up and whitewash statutory rape… this is a microcosm of the corruption [we] will see from the GOP and the Trump administration over these next four years.”

Taking lots of shots and being in the right place at the right time somehow landed this amateur photog's images in a museum. Check out the "Teamsters and Turtles" exhibit now at @mohaiseattle.bsky.social, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the nonviolent shutdown of the World Trade Organization.

Old classic, new platform.

San Franciscan since 1980, regular user of public restrooms, probably shared them with more trans women than most people out there, also nothing to report. We're fine. Wrote about that four years ago. All still true. Damn this persecution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.
