If Oregon policymakers are serious about addressing cost-of-living concerns and ensuring Oregon is an affordable place for all to live, we simply must invest a transportation system that provides alternatives to car dependency. #orleg https://loom.ly/NEcn57E

Shout out to @senkhanhpham.bsky.social and @councilorgreen.bsky.social for supporting PCC workers on the picket lines this morning. We're holding it down on Day 3! #PCCstrike #WeFixPCC

Today, I joined the picket line of striking faculty, academic professionals, and classified employees at Portland Community College. I proudly support these committed workers who make PCC such a vibrant learning community and urge PCC to settle a fair contract soon. #solidarity @pccffap.bsky.social

Right here on 82nd Ave, Kristle Delihanty & PDX Saints Love inspire us to see beyond the limits of our current challenges and envision a healthier, more loving, more just future. https://pdxsaintslove.org/donate KOIN spotlight: https://www.koin.com/news/portland/kristle-delihanty-pdx-saints-love/

Let’s discuss our wins, losses, concerns, and hopes for the interim and next session. Hope to see you Monday, March 16, at APANO—8188 SE Division St, Portland, OR 97206. RSVP here: https://qr.link/SxrKac #orpol #orleg

I am proud of the work we accomplished this session, and looking forward to taking our next steps together towards the Oregon I know we can build. #abetterOregonispossible #orpol #orleg

loved this quote from Senator Pham: “I believe in inclusionary zoning as a mechanism to economically integrate neighborhoods, not as a tax on all new housing.”

Now that I have some desk time, I'm going to expand this into a brief thread to lay out the basics of the proposal that we discussed today for spending this unbudgeted housing money.

🎉 Celebrating key bills from our democracy defense agenda crossing the finish line today! I was proud to chief sponsor the Strengthening Patient and Provider Privacy Act (HB 4088), Protect Your Door Act (HB 4114), and Anti-Discrimination Protections for Immigrant Workers (HB 4111). #orpol #orleg

It's a start! Thanks to the over 200 Oregonians who took action last week to testify or write to the governor's data center advisory council last week to make your voices heard! Because of your actions, we were able to win this 1.5 yr moratorium on data center tax breaks.

New reports are more than 100 Iranian schoolgirls are dead after Israeli & US bombs hit their school as classes began. These fascists want you to believe they are the good guys for mass murdering Iranian children. They were children. In school. And now they’re dead because of Trump & Netanyahu.

By waging war on Iran, the president is making it more likely that other countries will develop nuclear weapons—to protect themselves from the U.S. trib.al/cifN57t

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power. Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

US missile strikes are unconstitutional and unjustified. Congress must reconvene immediately to adopt the bipartisan War Powers Resolution, prohibiting unauthorized military intervention in Iran. I pray for the safety of the people of Iran and the region, many with family ties here in Oregon. #nowar

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

They are trying to drag us into war now. We needed a vote on @rokhanna.bsky.social’s War Powers Resolution last week. Instead the war hawk caucus of the Dem Party delayed it, and now it may be too late.

I too think more networks should run "pro-America content" like handy explainers on the constitutional limitations on the president's powers and the independence of Congress

Thank you Salem high students for showing up strong for our communities, our families, our neighbors today! I can't think of a better way to end a week that brought important parts of Oregon's immigrant justice package forward. Take action at the link in my bio. Sí, se puede! #orleg #orpol #iceout

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

Oregon can encourage tech investment while insisting that companies pay their fair share. Let the Governor's Data Center Advisory Committee know what you think should guide our state's policies around data centers by sharing an email or sharing testimony at their first meeting this Friday:

I reported last week that the TriMet decision to build BAT lanes on 82nd Avenue was conditioned on others outside the agency raising funds to pay for it. This is the first example of that playing out... bikeportland.org/2026/02/24/l...

Please join me in asking the legislature to help fund full Business Access and Transit lanes on 82nd Avenue.

Oregon, I hear you loud and clear. NOW is the time to make sure Oregon legislators hear your voices of support too. Take action to protect our communities from ICE violence, submit testimony, and send your emails here: https://loom.ly/2kwctyI #orleg #OrPol

Excellent work from excellent team. And let's be sure to not bury the headlines here: coral reefs are GONE. Beyond 1.5°C we should expect >90% dead. North Atlantic currents very vulnerable at this temp. These are potentially v fast tipping points that could cause havoc with weather, farming. 1/5

Six years ago, Ahmaud Arbery was jogging. That was enough to be a death sentence. We remember his life, as a constant charge to continue the fight for justice, humanity, accountability, and an end to the poison of white supremacy.

Today we celebrate Alysa Liu, Olympic gold medalist and daughter of a political refugee who came to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity. Refugees strengthen our communities — as neighbors, leaders, and even champions. When we invest in belonging, we all rise.

See you tonight, District 1! Can't make it to an in person open house, view the online open house and take the survey here: www.portland.gov/transportati...

Great to see this. My -2 amendment to HB 4102 requires community benefits/labor agreements to grow the skilled and trained workforce if companies like Amazon want fast track permitting done by 3rd parties. Bill is up for a WS in Senate E&E on Monday 2/23. olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M...

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Small businesses across Oregon have been dramatically impacted by Trump’s tariffs. We recently toured Archetyp Wines in Portland to learn how tariffs are hurting businesses here at home – and we heard from owner Aric Wood about what today’s Supreme Court decision means.

"...a group of progressive lawmakers and organizations are trying to claw back roughly $311 million of the deficit by amending the state tax code to eliminate three tax breaks included in H.R. 1." I spoke with the @portlandmercury.com about SB 1507. #orleg #orpol

ACTION ALERT: As Chair of the Senate Committee on Housing and Development, I need your help to restore $10 million in eviction prevention funding. Learn more and email your legislators here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/restore-10-million-for-eviction-prevention/

Let's build more homes! Thank you to @sightline.org, Oregon Smart Growth, Habitat for Humanity Portland Region, @pnwelcome.bsky.social, @npartnerships.bsky.social, @1000oregon.bsky.social and so many other advocates who helped shape these bills to address Oregon's housing underproduction. 🏘️

Most of the time I’m sort of inured to the news and sometimes I have to heavy breathe to get to the end of the post

I recently visited Maria in the Tacoma detention center. She is a loving mom, pays her taxes, and has no criminal history -- not even a parking ticket. She deserves to come home to her two children and her husband, who is recovering from surgery. I will not stop fighting until she is home.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

2700 families were evicted in Oregon last month.

80,000 people is just a number that makes my stomach clench thinking about it

It's been a busy start to the year - press conferences and rallies, overseen hearings on multiple housing and transportation bills, met with policymakers and advocates on everything from immigrants' rights to economic development, and hosted visiting constituents for meetings in my office. #orleg

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

$450 Million each year that could have gone to schools, roads, and other basic services... We need to close these tax loopholes for data centers..

Exciting D1 news: East Portland is going to be the heart of Soccer City this summer! Can't wait to catch a match at Lents Park😍

I also talked to former MCDA Mike Schmidt, who had a different take.

Nathan Vasquez does not consider himself an ICE agent watchdog. But he did win the DA seat on a “tough on crime” platform. As federal officials flout the law and hurt Portlanders, attention is turning to the DA to hold them to account.

Still figuring out your weekend plans? Check out two FREE, family-friendly events happening in East Portland: the Portland Winter Lights Festival Launch Party in Parkrose, and the Gateway Night Market happening in the Gateway/Hazelwood neighborhood!

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

The Skanner's closure is a profound loss—an irreplaceable Black-owned institution holding power to account & serving communities too often ignored. I’m championing Protect Local Journalism (SB1580) to ensure Big Tech pays its fair share so community media survives & thrives. https://loom.ly/k0JNi8A
