This MLK Day, let us have the audacity to care for our neighbors, protect the vulnerable, and fight for what’s right.

This is a great example of state officials stepping up to ensure compliance with the law, if the feds won’t do it. Maine secy of state @shennabellows.bsky.social finding a way of restricting ICE illegal conduct wgme.com/news/local/m...

ICE’s aggressive and dangerous tactics do nothing to make our communities safer. Due process is not delivered with aggression and violence. I’m fighting to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities.

Next Wednesday, January 21, we're hosting four visiting Attorneys General for a Federal Oversight & Accountability Town Hall at Revolution Hall in Portland. Join us: bit.ly/Jan21-TownHall ASL & Spanish interpretation provided. #orpol #townhall #portland @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov @ag.state.mn.us

Checking in as I head back to Portland to be in solidarity with our community after two individuals were shot by federal agents. The people of Portland are strong, peaceful and will stand united in our commitment to civil rights and public safety.

COACH KERR: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

The violence against our communities must stop. Two more shot last night. That’s why I will be joining in filing articles of impeachment against Secretary of DHS Noem.

Federal agents shot two people in East Portland. I’m demanding a full investigation that includes Oregon law enforcement—we can’t trust federal agencies to run a transparent and unbiased investigation. ICE needs to end their dangerous operations in Oregon NOW.

BOARD STATEMENT: This afternoon, federal Customs and Border Protection agents shot two people in East Portland. We are in close coordination w/ our government partners & law enforcement to learn everything we can, and encourage patience in sharing information to ensure accuracy. MORE: bit.ly/3L79IkZ

BREAKING: Indivisible and a broad coalition of groups across the country are calling for a coordinated ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action this Saturday and Sunday to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.

A statement from Councilor Avalos, @councilordunphy.bsky.social, and Councilor Smith on the ICE shooting of two people in the Hazelwood neighborhood:

Solidarity forever with Minneapolis and every community standing up for our immigrant neighbors.

Sara Haghdoosti: We are at a flashpoint here. I know that when it comes to issues like this, in moments like this, when the fear and pain is so real, it can feel like we might not be able to create change. And we just had a senator on this call that told us we do have power.

Leo High School Choir captured our hearts this year in their incredible performance on America’s Got Talent. When President Obama met them this week on his trip in Chicago, they captured his heart, too, with their infectious enthusiasm and an impromptu performance of "U Will Know”.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum calls on the United Nations to step in to stop Trump. She says Trump broke article 2 of the charter of the United Nations.

If our Congress is committed to the Constitution, to the laws of this country, and to the treaties that secure a global peace, then it must impeach, convict, and remove Trump from office. freespeechforpeople.org/free-speech-...

Chris Murphy: "Clearly this is wildly illegal. This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn in -- stealing from the American people, seizing spending power, now dragging America into a war overseas ... Donald Trump's entire foreign policy is corrupt."

The American people did not vote for an illegal and taxpayer-funded forever war.

As one year comes to a close and a new one is on the horizon, I’m reflecting on the opportunity we have in front of us for 2026 to be a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused. I’m looking forward to doing my part, and I know you are too.

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — so before the year ends, let me introduce you to Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. 🧵THREAD

Grateful to everyone who came out to tonight’s town hall — including these special guests!

A Federal Right to Read Act has been reintroduced by Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and U.S. Rep Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ). We’re thankful for this legislation. Our freedom to read and learn should not be a state’s rights issue! www.everylibrary.org/applaud_rein...

NEW INTERVIEW: Knowa De Baraso, 14yo political podcasting phenom ( @knowadebaraso.bsky.social ) “Caring about politics didn’t come with a certain age, it came with a natural spirit of wanting to help people.” Need need a dose of optimism? this should help. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DSTMCHA...

Multnomah County is committed to using every tool at our disposal to support our immigrant and refugee neighbors. This declaration strengthens our response to the cruel actions that are terrorizing families throughout the county.

I find the decorations outside the offices on the hill to be really fascinating. This is the outside of @aoc.bsky.social’s office. A sea of post its with notes of encouragement and entreaty. An invitation to leave feedback. It’s brilliant. And it sure says a lot about what she values.

New weekly Honk & Wave event on Saturdays in Tigard, Oregon from 10:00-11:00 AM. Come rain or shine to support our communities and get a boost of positive energy. #Democracy #Activism

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

My Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act establishes real standards for immigrant detention and phases out for-profit facilities. This corrupt administration shouldn’t be allowed to funnel billions of dollars to private prisons companies who donated millions to Trump’s campaign.

No one should go hungry in the wealthiest country in the world. When SNAP benefits are under threat and Oregonians are being harmed, the Oregon DOJ will lead with values and fight for justice. #orpol

My message to Trump: Your message of bigotry won’t work. Somali Americans are here to stay. 💅🏾

New Avenues INK works with young people who are homeless and invests in their long-term success by teaching them a trade and giving them a job. 🧵

VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT WILL WORK TO EARN YOUR VOTE Tomorrow is election day, TN-7, and I'm humbly asking for your vote. I promise to be accessible and only beholden to the voters of the district, never donors or special interests. Polls open at 7 AM & close at 7 PM. Let's go out and win this!

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

There's been plenty of talk about the Get Out the Vote Rally for @aftynbehn.bsky.social in her campaign for US Congress in #TN-7. Here's where to go and sign up for the virtual rally, which is Monday night, 12/1, at 7:00pm Central Time... www.mobilize.us/aftynforcong... Be educated and energized!

“I’ve always said, I don’t care who you voted for,” Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn told CNN in an interview. “I don’t care what political party you belong to, but if you are upset about the cost of living and the chaos of Washington, then I’m your candidate, and I welcome you with open arms.”

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Please join us on 12/8 for a live watchalong of our film, The Last Class, with the subject himself — Robert Reich! If you haven’t been able to see the movie in person, this is the perfect chance. Sign up below:

Aftyn Behn has actually gone up in the polls since Republicans began attacking her as “radical.” Behn, a Tennessee Democrat with down-home style and a focus on affordability, fairness and clarity in a time of chaos, has cut through the noise of the attack ads by speaking directly to voters.

A Mexican national, Martin had lived in Beaverton for more than 30 years, where he ran a business and raised three children. Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him on Nov. 18. Just a few days after the arrest, he called his family to confirm he had been deported to Mexico.

On 11/24 Dems on the House Committee on Oversight & Govt Reform launched a web dashboard for the public to report incidents of ICE and DHS abuse. Dashboard info & embedded link: oversightdemocrats.house.gov/immigration-... cc: @housedemocrats.bsky.social Source: RRN Responders Forum Signal

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process. I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

It may be almost Thanksgiving, but it’s a busy week at DOJ! #orpol Three big updates, just from today:

BREAKING: The Democrat in next week’s special election in Tennessee has cut a Trump +22 district to a Republican +4 seat. That’s stunning. If Democrats flip this seat, they will be one step closer to flipping the House, and I just spoke to the Democrat who could do just that.

We're not getting straight answers from the DOJ and DHS about what they're doing with your private voter data. I'm joining 9 other Secretaries of State in demanding the truth. Watch, share, and join the calls for accountability. https://bit.ly/4r55dY4
