Regulatory Compliance Specialist and proud Oregonian, Jermall Keels spoke about the role of presidential electors, risks to our elections when they fail to fulfill their duty, and the state’s missing pieces to honor the will of voters. Read his full testimony here: protdem.org/458IWiV

Today, our team gave expert testimony to the Oregon State Senate on updating rules governing presidential electors. Because electors are increasingly vulnerable to attempted coercion, bribery etc. to cast a faithless vote in a nat'l election, common sense changes are key. Jermall Keels explains:

Nuremberg now. Enough with this.

Some good news for once! Firings from April and June at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health are being reversed! 👏

Unbelievable. A tenth grader?! ICE are all acting like thugs, breaking laws themselves while carrying out racist crimes. Trump and company must go. Impeach, convict, imprison.

blatant civil rights abuses CC @aclu.org

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Brennan Center for Justice: “States…can bar masked officers, for example, & limit arrests in sensitive places like schools, courts, & hospitals. Congress too has a role to play. It can pass the so-called Bivens Act, extending the right to protect people’s constitutional rights against infringements”

BREAKING NEWS: We just filed a lawsuit challenging a new policy that would force states to discriminate. Read more about what happened and why it matters in Oregon. #orpol #breakingnews

Family and community members are demanding justice for Keith Porter, who was killed by an off-duty ICE agent, as local officials have reportedly told activists they do not plan to investigate his death or hold the agent accountable.

No one is above the law. From the President on down. That’s why I will allow New Yorkers to hold ICE agents accountable in court when they act outside their lawful duties.

We applaud @governor.ny.gov for committing to exercise her state’s sovereign powers to check federal overreach. All states can and should do the same to ensure that no one is above the law and that every American can seek justice whenever gov agents violate the People's constitutional rights.

2/ What it was like being an Obama US Attorney

Tell us what you are going to do! You need to do something!

Please join the push to replace Schumer and support a shut down. Americans do NOT want our tax dollars used for this irrational, aggressive violence!

It's been very disappointing to see how weak and ineffective Democrats have been in stopping trump, or even just communicating a message of strength.

Trump is clearly ready to turn his illegal use of our military on other countries around the world. The only thing he says can stop him? His “own morality." This, from a man with no ethical compass. The Senate must stop him. youtu.be/DIXSgIVbXa8

'I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters' With ICE as his personal police force, we're seeing this unfold before our eyes.

If you’re in the DC area, please join Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social tomorrow for a rally and vigil outside of CBP headquarters. #ICEOutForGood

At the end of this month, every Member of Congress will vote on whether to empower Trump to send more secret police forces into our communities. Urge your senators to use their power to rein in ICE: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... And tell your representative, too: indivisible.org/ice-out-hous...

Victory!

Shocking!

These people are insisting that Renee Good actually had the “intent” to kill Ross. They will say anything to protect their violent authoritarianism.

Would be better as Convict Remove Imprison Trump and company deserve prison.

Yesterday. This needs to happen yesterday!

Last January, one plane forced to reroute because of a SpaceX explosion was running low on fuel, prompting the pilot to declare an emergency and fly the jet and its 283 passengers through a designated debris zone to reach an airport.

Looks like assault. Is the ICE criminal in jail or charged?

This is the opposite of Homeland Security. This is the government abusing and attacking human beings without cause.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

It seems that every day more and more Republicans reveal themselves as fascists

POLL: “The majority of Americans disagree with ICE’s murder of Renee Nicole Good… Republicans, by and large, however, believe her killing was acceptable.” open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Top 4 officials in the Criminal section of the Civil Rights Division resign over Harmeet Dhillon's inexcusable (and inexplicable, under the law and the mission of the Division) decision not even to investigate the Minnesota fatal shooting. This is the very purpose and heartbeat of the section

To navigate ethics is to walk through fog. Resign on principle, leaving the organization w/o experienced professionals? Or stick it out & court complicity. None of this is simple. I don’t envy their situation & won’t second guess their decision.

Read more here, and please be sure to subscribe to support more of this kind of work that other media outlets will not do:

The Senate unanimously agreed to hang a plaque honoring the officers who protected the Capitol when it was under attack by Trump's insurrectionist goons on Jan. 6th five years ago. MAGA Mike Johnson, in bowing to Dear Leader, has disgracefully refused to install the House version of this plaque.

The Senate is considering legislation to fund the government in 2026 But we are seeing-in real time-the monster Republicans created when they tripled the ICE budget in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill Renee Good dead Dozens assaulted So many lives destroyed Democrats cannot continue to support this atrocity

Lunacy is the virus of hate and brutality visited upon the people of Minneapolis and beyond.

[email protected]: Should ICE funding increases be a red line for Democrats? McGovern: I’m not voting for an appropriations bill that increases funding for ICE. Listening to Kristi Noem trying to rationalize this—I can’t believe this is our country.

JUST IN: Sen. Kelly is suing Secretary Hegseth -- precise details of lawsuit are not yet docketed.

The Trump administration is not just trying to censor free speech. They’re trying to criminalize it Just like they’re trying to take away our right to free assembly-by literally KILLING people like Renee Good Don’t let them revoke our Constitutional freedoms FIGHT! I stand with Mark Kelly

Personally, I thought it was insane for SCOTUS to give any president almost complete immunity — and certainly not to a person who has such little regard for rule of law.

All it takes is people who aren’t cowards and take their oaths seriously. Sadly, too much to ask for far too many.

One thing we can say that we know for certain, no matter what abuses of power or corruption Trump engages in, Republicans in Congress will do and say nothing. Except that Susan Collins will continue to be concerned.

The Nobel Committee has rejected Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's idiotic attempt to share the Nobel Peace Prize with the orange felon. Good, they need to strip it away from her now she disgracefully tried to trade it to a tyrant for political power.

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve. The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” (Published Oct. 2025 with @newyorker.com)

If there are any principled Republicans (is that still a thing? Asking for a friend) in Congress, they could end all this if only a couple of them would retire now. This will turn the House back to the Dems and we could start holding Trump in check.
