will be interesting to see how you credibly campaign as a Dem when you've lost *the teachers union*, Kotek

Members of the Oregon Education Association met Friday and Saturday for our PAC Convention and 75% of participants voted not to endorse a gubernatorial candidate. We are sending a message to our electeds and candidates: no longer will you be able to do the bare minimum and get our support.

“The penguins, we love the penguins, don’t we, over there on the Heard and McDonald Islands? Made a movie about them a while back, very popular, Happy Feet, right? Marco, it was Happy Feet, right? 1/

Wow. 👀 Released hours ago, nearly 100 labor unionists are standing firm to oppose the entry and infiltration of the Portland police association — a white supremacist organization—in the halls of labor.

To our community and labor movement partners: CWA 7901 is an affiliate of the NW Oregon Labor Council (NOLC), but we *do not* support the letter NOLC sent (linked below) in opposition to @councilorkanal.bsky.social's resolution clarifying "bias" for purposes of the Community Police Oversight Board.

Portland City Council’s @councilorgreen.bsky.social at @portlanddsa.bsky.social’s Tax the Rich rally rejects idea of tapping PCEF funds for general fund deficit, says clean energy funds aren’t “lying idle” as other city leaders have appeared to suggest. “That fund is paying for good things.”
