Who could’ve seen this coming? 🙄

These are the Senators who voted to end the Shutdown in exchange for…. um… an empty promise? (Hint: Rs haven’t been great at pinky promises lately) 👏 BUT to all the Democratic senators who held the line - call them tomorrow to thank them!

After ICE raided an Oregon bakery they started making Portland frog pastries with “Resist” on each one.

I spent some time spelunking in the footnotes of the Oregon National Guard litigation and came to the horrible conclusion that we're watching the record decay in real time under the weight of a right-wing influencer circus www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

Breaking News: The legal block on the National Guard coming to Portland has again been extended, at least until Friday, by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut.

Raise your hand if your brain is sufficiently capable of complex thought to understand why advocating an explicitly Christian volunteer military is not ideal.

"Project 2025 was never just a “policy plan.” It was a declaration of war on pluralism itself. A promise by Donald Trump, Russell Vought, and Stephen Miller to chain the machinery of government to white nationalism, Christian dominance, and patriarchal control." 🔥 blackpressusa.com/halfway-to-c...

We did this. Humans. For profit. And now that it’s no longer profitable, the ugliness of our “culture” is heartbreakingly evident.

Ever wondered how to explain tariffs to Gen Z? I recently laid it out for Gov. Beshear (and his teenagers) — just in time for Oregon to take our tariffs case to the Supreme Court on November 5. What topic should we translate next?!

Here is how to use a whistle for ICE alert. Neighborhoods all over are banding together, handing out whistles and instructing everyone. This is where we are at. Nazi alert!

My momma bestie is my auntie My auntie friend that go to her church is also my auntie My 75 year old cousin... is also my auntie "Auntie" is what happens when you understand the expansive proposition of family "That's not your aunt" is what happens when you live outside of restorative community

I’m starting to think the stock market only watches Fox News.

Here is a list of food pantries in Portland OR if you or someone you know in PDX is about to be affected by the snap cuts: www.foodpantries.org/ci/or-portland

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

You still want to believe the political fuel that powers the American collapse into authoritarianism isn't the deep, abiding resentment of white men who pine for an America that sees and services only them? Gaze upon Leni Riefenstahl's recent work for Donald Trump's U.S. Department of Labor.

A typical family of four in WA state would see a $12,400 increase in their annual premiums if Republicans don't help us extend the ACA credits.   That is the equivalent to an extra YEAR’s worth of groceries just to afford the same health care plan they had last year.

🧵3 days ago, on Friday, the FBI officially abandoned white nationalism as its top domestic terror concern. Long-standing partnerships with the Southern Poverty Law Center & Anti-Defamation League over. Finished. Kaput. Plus...

A text from my girlfriend at noon today reporting directly from ICE HQ in Portland, OR. #PDX #ICE #AllCalm #GovernmentLies

We can all do something. If you’re unable to show up in person for whatever reason, consider packaging whistles for your Portland, OR neighborhood like this and handing them out. Chicago has been using a whistle alert system in neighborhoods to mobilize community members. #fuckice

Appeals Court rules Trump can deploy National Guard to Portland, Oregon

so I gather this is a lot of people's first middle east cease fire.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

Cleveland Throws a Dance Party on a Bridge In Support Of Portland www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/cleveland-...

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

Is there an explanation for why Palestinians are "prisoners" and Israelis are "hostages"? Is the implication meant to be that the Palestinians were 'criminals' being punished through imprisonment?

Grab your scarf and join us pre-match this Saturday, Oct 18th at Noon for the No Kings march at Tom McCall Park.

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

Yes! This. I yell at the TV like a crazy lady every time a Democrat says Obamacare. We all have relatives or neighbors who think antifa is pro fascism and swear that their ACA insurance isn’t Obamacare

Thoughts and prayers to Cosplay Cop Kristi who had to brave the dogs, farmer’s markets, capybaras, and marathon runners of Portland this week.

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear." Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

ICYMI: Our team dug deeper into the Trump administration's misleading climate science report. It's more than a fact check. We show the sleights of hand they employ - fake debates, manipulated data, reliance on fossil fuel-funded experts - to reach a desired outcome. www.politico.com/interactives...

Since every Republican in Congress is repeating their false talking point over & over that “Democrats want to shut down the govt to give free healthcare to illegal aliens,” it would be helpful if some Democrats in Congress could address that argument with facts at some point.

Our beloved senator, @wyden.senate.gov is chasing down that #Epstein money paper trail, so the president sends federal troops to occupy our largest city. Report ice to the PIRC hotline 1-888-622-1510. #pdx #resistance #communityresistance
