portlanddsa.org/the-thorn/ Socialists are the underdogs. We are constantly fighting on hostile terrain and in uphill battles. It’s easy to get lost in the play-by-play of each election, but our goal isn’t to win just a single match; it’s to take home the trophy.

Estacada Got Resistance! Members joined with residents for the Mayday International Worker Solidarity Event and found they have been having a protest every Saturday since 2003 in defiance of the Iraq war! Clackamas County may be divided geographically, but we all see what's happening.

Hundreds of immigrant men at North Lake Processing Center, an ICE facility, began a hunger strike on April 20 in an attempt to assert their rights to due process, edible food, and an end to sleep deprivation.

Mayday post text: The Affordability crisis we are experiencing in Clackamas County is happening all over the world! Striking, boycotting, and protesting are powerful tools we can use to leverage the system and remind the oligarchy who is at the heart of the Country - working class families!

American journalist Amy Goodman's new film "Steal This Story, Please!" premiered downtown Friday night. Memebers gathered to celebrate her life's work while Mike tabled for PIRC! Amy has made a career of sharing the stories corporate media has tried to silence.

This morning in the Committee of Whole we will hold an oversight hearing for the purpose of addressing questions related to the delayed disclosure of housing $ to council and its relationship to the development of the Fall TAO. To my knowledge it’s the first of its kind in the history of the city.

Payday Report has now tracked May Day Strikes in at least 65 cities and the list is growing. Hundreds of unions and community groups are supporting the May Day strikes, but corporate media is ignoring it. paydayreport.com/map-65-citie...

Authoritative tactics and technology abroad are being manufactured in our state! Come show these companies Oregonians do not approve.

DSA has become such a bogeyman of the political center and chambers of commerce that we get written into races where we haven’t even endorsed the challenging candidates! Here, we are said to be “known for both [our] organizing prowess and antipathy to many mainstream Democratic principles” lol

Zohran Mamdani: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

Let's stop training military tech on Portlanders -- Stop Sightline Intelligence! PICKET PROTEST, 4/23, 4 - 6 PM, S MACADAM & BOUNDARY ST

May Day is the real Labor Day. Look for events spanning the whole Portland metro area, including this gathering in the South Park Blocks. A better world is possible!

It's refreshing that these people aren't using a pretext of concern over the program's rollout to scuttle it. The move is transparently about the wishes of the very wealthy over the will of the voters. You can dislike Preschool for All & still see that this is bad: actionnetwork.org/letters/no-o...

📣Please share this far and wide, so we can tell @tinakotek.bsky.social and the legislature HANDS OFF PRESCHOOL FOR ALL! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Hope everyone had a good #MayDay. Remember: we have a world to win! (Courtesy of @socialists.nyc's great Sing In Solidarity choir! Our predecessors had a choir as well in Milwauke so make sure to join us to rebuild our former choir from the early 20th century!) youtu.be/_0mnfjQQ010

This Thursday is May Day—also known as International Workers’ Day—and Portland is showing up, with events starting tomorrow through the weekend. With the federal attacks on workers, immigrants, and marginalized people across the board, May Day is all the more relevant and important this year.

Happy May Day! ✊✊✊

It should go without saying, but one pretty good organization to join is called DSA www.dsausa.org/get-involved/

Standing room only and many turned away at the Wyden/Bynum town hall last night. We tabled, and what we heard most was anger about inaction, and fear. People want to know what to *do*. If you're feeling isolated, if you're feeling angry, don't feel that way alone. Join an organization!

What are we asking for? We think it’s pretty simple stuff. We just think our members deserve similar compensation and benefits to other Clackamas County employees and to other local government employees in our region. Read more here: docs.google.com/viewerng/vie...

Clackamas County is 54% public land. These lands are shared by all of us. They're habitat, crucial for ag, and where we hunt, fish, camp and hike. Billionaires could care less about that. They want to sell our future off in a get-rich-quick scheme, no matter how it affects us or future generations.
