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.

Tammy and Myrna just widened their leads on the 4 pm updated count release 💪💪💪

Remember to come to our rally to disarm campus police on May 28th! tinyurl.com/disarm-psu-r...

Wazzup? The working class has started to win!

Laurie Wimmer (on behalf of the Northwest Oregon Labor Council) is supporting the amendment to defund the police accountability commission. Wimmer continues to advocate for the interests of the Portland Police Association even though they aren’t members of the labor council.

Portland DSA Member Kaleigh testifies laying out the professional standards of public identification in healthcare and asks the council to pass a similar standard for police in the Right to Know Who is Policing You. @portlanddsa.bsky.social

The stakes are very straightforward: If democratic socialists win, ordinary people win greater rights, protections, public infrastructure, and social services. At the same time, corporations and their lobbyists lose influence and have less control over politics. They are very scared right now.

In light of the Mercury article I guess I’ll just name this was Laurie Wimmer. Standing up for Palestine early on had consequences, and I don’t regret it. I have to face myself in the mirror each day, despite politics and consequences. I believe if we do that, the people will rally behind us.

Welp, looks like you all in Portland Dsa know who to challenge now. Once election season hits Portland Oregon. Solidarity to you all too

Corporate power is waning on Portland City Council bc the people elected 4 dem socialists to council‼️ Absolutely hilarious & validating to have their reactions to this publicized! Keep it coming yall, it just emboldens the working class! ✊🏻 www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/01...

This should exist in every city in the country.

#ElectricGuitarForAll (10) #MusicChallenge Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well Lindsay Buckingham's guitar is rightly synonymous with the band but blues fans hold a candle for when Peter Green played guitar and vocals. Rightly. youtu.be/0yq-Fw7C26Y?...

VERIFIED. The whole shitshow goes.

Let me repeat it! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽

We're proud and honored to be part of the political exchange at this year's @demsocialists.bsky.social convention!

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” Leguizamo asked. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are Has/Been.” www.thewrap.com/john-leguiza...

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

Speak out, give generously, go to the picket line. It works!

There are two primary forms of trans politics: that which stands in unconditional solidarity with and centers the material needs of transsexuals, and that which makes gender just another matter of individual expression within late capitalism divorced from concrete material demands.

People complaining about the LA tower graffiti have to be the most cucked people ever. To see the egregious waste private ownership imposed on their city and yet still bend over backwards to uphold the sanctity of "private property" is absurd. These people worship garbage

This is so satisfying. I could watch it over and over.

Put that in your lunch box and sit on it for a while

There is no incoming! It is up to us to stand up! #anti-capitalism

Only if it also involves redistribution of wealth, and ensures housing, food, and healthcare for all. Otherwise, it's just the fire department. 👩🏼‍🚒👨🏼‍🚒🚒

I can't believe I'm doing this, but here you are.

Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants.

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

That's a tall order for someone trying to hang on to their 1st billion.

Mayor Keith: All PDX workers back full-time. "OUTCRY FROM UNIONS" Mayor Keith: Okay, not in 2025. Maybe later. Still Mayor Keith: Okay, only managers and supervisors.

Bibi dragged his feet, cuz the genocide was a distraction from the fact that he is a corrupt man, and faces trial + prison. Oh yeah - he can't leave the country either, lest he be handed over to the ICC.

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

The Government should not have the power to execute people

The largest firestorm in Los Angeles history has killed 11 people and counting, destroyed thousands of homes, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Angelenos.

USC joined anti-union corporations like SpaceX and Amazon in claiming the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional: this extreme position not only challenges our rights as faculty, but the rights of all workers in the U.S. to organize under federal law. unitedfaculty-uaw.org/updates-on-o...
