Holy shit McCarthyism

“This is not immigration enforcement. This is racial terror. This is state-sanctioned violence. This is the face of fascism. Not in some far off land but in our backyard.” www.oregonlive.com/washingtonco...

Had an unhoused person living in their car come up to me and tell me they appreciated how I’m fighting for people like them 😭❤️ The endorsement that matters

Now that Mamdani has won against all odds a d made a strong case that fighting for the working class *is* a winning strategy, I will be watching closely to see who adopts leftist aesthetics and who truly carries out that work for the people

ICE detained a U.S. citizen for 7 hours in Portland after she photographed ICE agents. As of Tuesday morning, ICE still had her phone and her engagement ring, she said. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

anyone checking in on the NYT ed board?

I’m extremely excited to re-elect @drmitchpdx.bsky.social, @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social, & Tiffany Koyama Lane next year over the loud & extremely annoying objections of Portland’s wealthy conservatives. Who knows, maybe we’ll fuck around & pick up a few more seats & get a true progressive majority.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

HOT COMMIE SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING!!!!

What a fucking disaster. A recipe for chronic homelessness. Funding issues play a major role, but methodology does too. Camping ban, increased sweeps, cut rapid-rehousing. This sets up a brutal cycle that can bury people from day one of losing housing. This will kill people.

Who wants to scare the Portland Business Alliance with a spontaneous Zohran victory parade around town tomorrow?

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple videos as trial exhibits that show federal officers using force against what appear to be nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on various nights since June. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

If you want clear and accurate info to understand what is happening in Sudan, and how you can help stop this genocide, here is the piece that will provide you that clarity. This is a guest piece by Sudanese-American attorney Mo Seifeldein. Please read & share. www.qasimrashid.com/p/sudan-isnt...

we're not running for office, but Depave.org is working very hard to transform Portland's failed grey infrastructure into thriving green infrastructure and yall we are in the give guide today

This would only make me vote for her more 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

My constituents are drunkenly hugging me on Halloween and I am drunkenly hugging them, I love this goddamn city!!! Will protect it with my whole heart and being

After years of being gaslit that this administration was just run of the mill conservatives instead of full on eugenicists and Nazis I actually find it kind of relaxing that they’re finally just admitting it on national television!

Classic Dan Ryan: voting to refer the measure to the voters and then coming out against it, while [not entirely incorrectly] pointing out that the measure is only necessary due to the poor financial management at the Bureau he used to lead www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

ICE is also using the same surveillance technology that was tested on Palestinians against immigrants and protestors who are protecting immigrants in America. From my homeland of Paraguay, to Palestine, to Portland, our liberation is tied together. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think I’ve slept like 4 hours the past few nights thinking about the loss of SNAP benefits. People are going to go hungry on a scale we’ve never seen in America before, their healthcare being pitted against their next meal. We have so much money in this country and it never goes to our people.

It’s a skillet to be able to use plain language, and often shows the person conveying the information knows it so well they can break it down easily. I really hate when people underestimate voters/people overall

These teachers are angels.

People still think city council can MAKE ICE do virtual check ins. I’m gonna kms. They’re a federal agency!! They have the supremacy clause!!! They wont opt for virtual check ins that makes the lives of immigrants easier because they think we’re all violent criminals and they want us dead!!!!

My Detention Facility Fee policy will have a first hearing at the morning Council Session on 11/5. It will be posted tomorrow on the website, and I will repost a link for people to submit written testimony. I also recommend emailing your district Councilors if this is an issue that matters to you.

We’ve never had a City Council with multiple members directly from activist and protest movements, who are directly affected by the issues. There are concerted efforts to pit us against each other because us fighting in unison would be too powerful. I am, and always will be, for the people.

Border Patrol has a rancid culture, and a dark history open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

"And for those of you who read the local news: Yes, I am fully in support of more BAT lanes [on 82nd Ave]." - Metro Councilor Christine Lewis at MPACT opening plenary this morning Nice to have at least some elected officials who are willing to stand firmly behind transit!

Portland woman released from ICE custody, reunited with family after ‘illegal’ detainment, lawmakers say

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

I will look into this. Can’t post about it on this account, follow me at @councilormorillo.bsky.social

When we host a press conference or attend a press conference hosted by another organization, we seek to avoid the exclusion of people. @councilorgreen.bsky.social @councilorkanal.bsky.social @councilortkl.bsky.social

Got to do an interview with @qasimrashid.com this morning! I’ve followed and respected his work for years. What a crazy life!

I love this because it implies that he could have kept the nazi tattoo and she would still be onboard.

The headline of this article makes a serious and incendiary claim that is not backed up by the facts presented in the story.

People are literally going hungry and struggling to pay rent on every level and this is the move?? God these people are villainous

Cooked dinner with the hottest sauce from the Hot Ones challenge. Was it delicious? Yes. Does it feel like I lightly tear gassed myself in my apartment? Also yes.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote. This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

“Rayfield submitted a brief with the 9th Circuit Court that showed DOJ attorneys had submitted false information to the courts that inflated the strain on the federal government’s law enforcement resources caused by having to staff the Portland protests”

One of the conference sessions I attended today was in a really inaccessible room and it is a surprise to absolutely no one that the person to make space for me to feel included was an immigrant. We may not speak the same language but we know what it means to feel welcome. Collective liberation.

If the Lourve robbers give some of the money to people struggling without SNAP benefits I will give them a each a ✨meaningful & profound forehead kiss✨ (I say some not all because I feel like you get to take a sick vacay after pulling that off ya know?)

We loved laughing with Portland and sharing resources for our immigrant neighbors ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Thanks @waltermasterson.bsky.social for having us on!
