The Republican Party claims to be the pro-life party. I have to wonder. How is it pro-life to -not respond when children are being shot to death in their elementary, middle, and high schools? -Try to take away funding to feed children who would otherwise go hungry? 🧵 /1

For those keeping track at home, Dems held the floor all night and are still going strong this morning.

Hey you - yeah YOU, person who called your senators, visited their office, attended a rally, or sent an email this week. Check out what you're capable of. Keep it up.

Our own PDX member Mike Turner has a substack and podcast you should subscribe to. Here is his take this week on the heroic bishop that stood up to the president. miketurner921.substack.com/p/todays-her...

Currently reaching out to Senator Ron Wyden and 5th district rep Janelle Bynum to ask them to vote nay on the next round of votes for Laken Riley Act. This act will give unilateral punishment to migrants seeking work and legal migrants stuck in limbo. I encourage others to reach out as well.

Last night, the Senate took another procedural step toward passing one of the most dangerous, chaotic, and cruel immigration bills in recent history — the Laken Riley Act. But this fight is far from over. 🧵

Don't underestimate the power of community and group work.

Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice, as the next 6 months are going to "get real".
