Dude, WTF @mayorkwilson.bsky.social?

Thugs. 😡

Look at how powerful we were in defending Preschool for All against attacks. If we are going to have a statewide program, it must be truly universal, without means testing, & paid for by corporations and the rich.

👀 Let's see some details. But first: welcome to the movement to give all kids free, high quality preschool with well-paid teachers, Gov Kotek!

Good for @algreen.house.gov!

This is quite a welcome turnabout from @tinakotek.bsky.social but if genuine, it would be a good answer to the question: "Is our politicians learning?" www.koin.com/news/oregon/...

Below is the attempt by the Portland Police Association to siphon climate justice funds into.. more policing! ❌

Nightmare PCEF Committee #DeclineToSign

This is so important. I believe we in the USA have been suffering from moral injury for so long—from our policing and carceral systems, among many other factors. Now we are in a true moral injury crisis, and until we figure out how to confront that reality, we will never be able to heal.

For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...

The quorum should be a majority of all members.

The difference between January's storm and this one is pretty striking. This is less than an hour ago

This is so pathetic. We are going to win.

Yes, let's go! #FuckICE

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point

🚨🔥 NEW: Increasing mortality from wildfire smoke is directly traceable to greenhouse gas emissions. In our new paper in @pnas.org , we show that every megaton of CO2 emitted costs the US more than 10 million dollars in health costs from wildfire smoke. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I will be reading these documents probably a dozen or more times in coming weeks, but upon first review there are some glaring omissions. The first is that Zenith's egregious 2022 lobbying violations are not documented in the city's report or considered Cable-Huston as a possible violation.

To recap it again: In 2007, Palm Beach financier Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to two counts of soliciting prostitution from a minor, and served a year or so in a local jail (with work release!). Then he went back to his comfy life and powerful friends. And he’d probably be doing it all today.

Early social and emotional learning is so important! Preschool For All should be offered statewide.

These people can't win elections so they try to nullify policymaking by those who do win elections by walking out. You know who else makes decisions this way? Toddlers!

Good news! Even if with a bunch of cautionary caveats. Better to aim high than to stick with the status quo that continues to produce deadly outcomes!

Thanks for standing up for the peaceful protesters who got gassed without warning while exercising our 1st amendment rights!

Forcing voters to sign on individually to changes in taxes is bad policy. It's literally the job of legislators to make decisions on policy, and voters to review their overall record when they are up for re-election. Also, end the kicker!

Dame looking like Dame ❤️❤️❤️

Excited to see Dame on the court. ⌚️

We are ready!

😡

We need to protect our students and make sure families get the information they need to stay safe! ❤️

Multnomah County is on track towards a full rollout of free preschool for every kid, with good pay for every teacher. No income or immigration status checks! All abilities, home languages, and workday schedules welcome! #LetsGrowMultnomahCounty #PreschoolforAll #FullyFundPreschoolforAll

Counterpoint: -No it isn't. -And yes you are.

For the first time, crickets from Donald Trump. After losing in court multiple times to Illinois and other states, the National Guard was finally quietly pulled out of our streets. The pressure is working, and we’ve got to keep at it.

Today is the start of something BIG. Sign our new petition to show your ❤️ for Preschool For All! actionnetwork.org/petitions/fu... And follow us for ✨Story Time✨ where big dreams are becoming reality in neighborhoods all over town. #LetsGrowMultnomahCounty #PreschoolforAll #FullyFundPreschoolforAll

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Having one of those moments where an elected representative who I like a lot and who has many good policy views leans into one where his views are very not good. 😬

The only place that I think AI should have in teaching is providing students an awareness of the limitations (hallucination) and sources of harm (encouraging self-harm) that GPTs produce. Kids are exposed to AI, genie's out, so they should be taught how to protect themselves from known limitations.

Better than stealing money from PCEF to fluff the pillow for a billionaire is an exceptionally low bar.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Wonderful!

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

Here comes halftime! 🕺

While this could just be a matter of dollars being set aside to not be spent, Council was not made aware of its existence. That’s a huge problem, and the Charter gives Council the authority to do investigations and oversight. We owe it to the public to get to the bottom of this.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Liam was one of hundreds of kids in this facility. Now, my constituent Diana is locked up there, surely frightened and traumatized. Putting kids in cages is so morally bankrupt it’s beyond words. Release them all.

Shoutout to @ocppnews.bsky.social for info on Oregon's "kicker," which has cost the state budget $11 billion over a decade, most of it refunded to the wealthy.

Contrary to The Oregonian, giving $75m in PCEF funds to renovate the Moda Center would not "stretch the limit of what the fund is intended to do;" it would be a complete perversion of the what the fund is meant to do.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

AYFKM @trailblazers.bsky.social! No bailouts for billionaires!
