November PIRC Training in SW PDX 11AM-1PM. Must pre-register.

Cesar Chavez School and George Middle School have implemented the PPS's “secure the perimeter” protocol amid reports of ICE activity in the neighborhood.

Hundreds of people packed the Hillsboro City Council auditorium to decry the escalation in immigration enforcement in the community, following weeks of reports of federal agents in unmarked vehicles detaining residents and dragging people out of cars. www.oregonlive.com/washingtonco...

ICE is active in D2 today. Please support your neighbors in the best way you're individually able to.

Come to Unthank Park in D2 today at 1 to help us get the Parks Levy over the finish line!

NEXT weekend (November 9!):

I'm supporting the Parks Levy, and made a donation yesterday to help support late get-out-the-vote efforts like texts and emails. If you can't make time to knock doors, a donation still helps!

Join us on 3 Thursdays in November for Secrets of a Successful Organizer! Are you beating your head against the wall trying to get other workers involved? This workshop is for you. actionnetwork.org/events/secre...

There’s something for everyone in here, from installing Signal to filing a privacy request from a data broker. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

In two days, NYC has a chance to end Andrew Cuomo's sordid political career.

Like my colleagues on the Portland City Council, I'm supporting the Parks Levy in this November's election. Please join me in voting yes!

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Join a DSA/NDLON ICE watch training on Tuesday! dsausa.us/icewatch

OBVIOUSLY we are the best team in the league and we’re gonna win the cup. I never doubted for a second. 😂 #RCTID

That's more like it! Anxious crowd at first, but a Felipe Mora goal will calm us down (two will get it feeling good again in the North End). #rctid #onwardrosecity

If you haven't signed up for a migra watch or legal observer training yet time to do it comrades

Been a while since we've seen a near-first-choice lineup from the Timbers, so this is welcome after Saturday. I'll be in the Timbers Army - where are you watching from? #rctid

I will be canvassing with DSA for the Parks Levy in D2 the weekend before the election. Looking forward to joining in the good vibes!

One of the most inspiring things about this #nokings is people around the world protesting at American embassies & consulates in solidarity with us. We once were proudly anti-fascist (WWII, anyone?), & countries we supported then remember even if we've forgotten. Thank you, Glasgow, Berlin, & more.

Scholars who study how to defeat fascism pretty much all say that you need the less radical, mushy middle folks to be on your side. You need mass support. The “normies” you look down on who are going to No Kings are those people. If you think it’s not enough, go talk to them. Go organize them.

Decision Day. #RCTID

Newly obtained documents confirm what law enforcement and Flock Safety tried to deny: A Texas sheriff’s office used license plate readers while investigating a woman’s self-managed abortion, not to find a “missing person." www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I figured out why trump thinks there is so much going on in Portland. They have been showing him episodes of Grimm and he thinks the Wesen are real.

Jay Jones' texts from 3 years ago, which were recently released and in which he muses about killing Todd Gilbert (then-state house speaker) and speculated about the death of his wife and kids too, are repugnant. Political violence is not new, and he should have known better even then.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The @timbers.com lost in Seattle this time. But I got to reconnect with @tacovertops.bsky.social friends and fellow Portlanders who made the trip up from @timbersarmy.org, and sing Bella Ciao at the top of my lungs, so it was still a good day. Take care of yourselves in dark times, friends.

all this is going to do is make me and all of us more rabidly portland partisan. sorry i know it's annoying we'll tone it down when the feds leave. but in the meantime PORTLAND FUCKING OREGON

Well, I hear that an army of 20,000 Antifa led by a guy wielding a chainsaw will be gathering this evening to sing “Bella Ciao” & watch some Un-American sport they call “football”’where you can’t use your hands #RCTID

I'm horrified to report that they have their own smoke grenades

[as the SS executioner slips a piano wire noose around my neck] let’s talk permitting reform

Gasp. Aaand they're celebrating Hispanic heritage

Geez maybe this is serious. A marshalling of the "Timbers Army" replete with antifascist symbols, and images of men and women wielding axes 🫣 #PortlandGoestoWar

Shameful. Immoral. Complicit.

Please join the team!

Looking for where to spend that money you were giving to Disney+, Hulu, etc.? Look no further - help out @streetroots.bsky.social!

The next time I hear about an organization facing a budget shortfall, looking to trim (chop, if you will) from the higher levels of the org chart (the top, some might say) rather than the front line staff, might well be the first time. If a university isn't about academics, what should it be about?

The last sunset of summer above Portland, OR. Have a good one folks! #photography #fujifilm #pdx

one of you sickos on portland urbanist bluesky is gonna buy this and i'm going to be so jealous www.facebook.com/marketplace/...

Tonight the University of Washington community is mourning the loss of professor Quintard Taylor. His 1994 book “The Forging of a Black Community” is foundational reading about race, class, and urban planning in Seattle political history. He will be missed sorely.

I am able to stay out of a lot of Ducks-Beavers rivalry issues because I went to UW. I'm not particularly intense about it from a sports perspective, except once a year (Apple Cup). Great game, better fourth quarter, and the cup comes home to UW!

Hello hello! The new Stumptown Footy is live! (Revived? Rebooted?) Come check it all out ⬇️ #RCTID #BAONPDX

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

An important read for anyone in a city that might be targeted.

the government is trying to disappear a man who can testify to torture committed at the direction and payment of the government

The fastest-growing homeless population in America? School-age children. Last year, student homelessness in California—where rents continue to soar past wages—rose by 20,000, reaching its highest level in a decade. But sure, keep insisting homelessness is all about mental illness and addiction.

We have to put the death penalty behind us, nationwide and forever.

This would be a bad idea even if it didn't help ICE.

Shoutout to the foremost #RCTID / #BAONPDX blog for taking a strong stand against platforms that create space for far-right extremists and hate. Looking forward to seeing your new digs.
