Tomorrow. Sunday. 3pm at Battleship Memorial, Downtown Portland We stand together. United. Peaceful and Determined. Oregonians from all walks of life coming together in a peaceful demonstration to send a clear message: NO MILITARY TAKEOVER OF PORTLAND. www.mobilize.us/oepindivisib...

Dutch late night TV has its take

This Labor Day, whether you're represented or not, why not stand with those who've been holding the line against oppression of the middle class and working poor since before it was "cool". In Portland, you might look here: www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."

"...Target is struggling to regain its footing with its shoppers who are pulling back on discretionary items and are shopping at other rivals that they believe to be lower price or offer better merchandise." ...and don't betray BIPOC customers, employees, and businesses. apnews.com/article/targ...

Now isn't the time to put your head down and isolate. It's the time to lean into your community to support and be supported by one another. If you haven't found or want to expand your community, I suggest Indivisible. In Portland City Council District 3, connect here: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

They used to be "In", now they're on their way "Out" www.sfgate.com/food/article...

The Israeli gov't actions actively preventing food aid to a civilian population they have imprisoned in an outdoor concentration camp goes beyond depraved indifference to an active policy of genocidal collective punishment. The world sits by watching evil run rampant www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/w...

Joining a local chapter of Indivisible is a great way to connect with your community and organize to resist and push back against the authoritarian Trump regime and their Fascist agenda. If your in Portland's city council district 3 your local meeting is coming up on 08/05/25 mobilize.us/s/KgSDg0

Congress chose to rip ~$1 TRILLION from Medicaid, denying health coverage to millions, and condemning countless in our community to sickeness and death, while at the same time adding TRILLIONS to the deficit, just to give handouts to billionaires. Time to push back! www.mobilize.us/familiesfirs...

ICE is going to get someone killed. This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District. If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car. Hope everyone’s OK. (Multi-angle footage)

Yeah, ending services for the working poor is bad...and tax breaks for billionaires is bad...but at least our federal deficit is going to blow up bigly by $3.4 trillion over the next decade...wait, that's bad too...

Due respect to the great RBG, but I haven't seen a justice who better understood their judicial responsibility within the context of the times in which she serves as well as to history as Justice Jackson. She will be studied & influence generations of new lawyers. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Portland peeps, especially in District 3 (but ALL are welcome), please join us in celebrating the life and legacy of John Lewis. The word "icon" gets overused these days but is truly apt for this legendary Civil Rights activist and champion. mobilize.us/s/iSHksM

I'm not sure I like stacking the @trailblazers.bsky.social with Clingan, Ayton, Williams III, Reath, and now Yang Hanson. Probably, wanted to move DA & Timelord anyway, but when supply goes up and demand stays static, the asking price will take a hit.

It was my 1st time as an organizer and Safety Marshal at one of the many #NOKINGS events in PDX today. So proud the work my comrades and I put in, along with the spirit of community and non-violence displayed by all attendees, resulted in ZERO reported injuries. Who keeps us safe? WE KEEP US SAFE!

I respect the hell out of Jared Bernstein, so when even he can't quite figure out what's going on in this economy, it's validating, if not comforting. open.substack.com/pub/econjare...

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Why is this not front-page news? Where is the outrage and alarm?

“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

Recognizing and naming the evil in front of you is a great first step...but it's only a step. For the good of our country and our very future as a free nation these people need to acknowledge their own complicity - but for these Trump voters, none of this would be happening.

Troubling to see the Beaverton School Board vote to investigate Dr. Tammy Carpenter, a board member, for sharing an informational slide on IG regarding the Nakba and ongoing genocide in Palestine. You can join the DSA protesting this assault on free speech actionnetwork.org/events/hands...

That would be awful. Don’t share this.
