ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens

Finally listened to the meeting. Here’s where we stand. 1. Portland City Council remains cleanly divided into two ideological blocs. 2. All councilors belong to a bloc and are loyal to their bloc. This includes the current president and each of the three nominees. No councilor is unaffiliated.

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

New York City elected a socialist mayor & their moderate Dem governor is forced to move to the left to embrace universal childcare. Portland elected a CEO mayor & our moderate Dem governor is trying to kill universal preschool on behalf of the rich.

Portland Police Chief Bob Day on Friday said that the pair’s potential connection to the gang “in no way draws a throughline” to the shooting. "Nothing that I’ve said today should be warranted in any way to affirm whatever happened yesterday.” oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/09/f...

It's time for Transit Talks ... After Dark. Our guest @councilormorillo.bsky.social talks with Cassie Wilson about safety, support for 30% of Oregonians who are non-drivers, and her experiences as a transit-dependent person. Watch the full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkj4...

ICE out of our communities now! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/support-fo...

The stories of how regular people are resisting and organizing against ICE aren't just valuable for sentimental reasons. They show that a culture of fascism has not overtaken this country. That significant numbers of people are mobilizing seems like an important part of assessing material conditions

91,000 women age 20 and older left the labor force in December, while 10,000 men joined it, per @nwlc.org

I can't express enough what it means to be living in this time and place where half of our city council shows up for the community and swears at the appropriate times. The other half? The other half were endorsed by powerful regressive business associations and the police union.

I was there when Homeland Security was created and that is NOT the point of homeland security

the whole point of being an american is eating food from every country on earth with people from that country and partying with them. that's the thing we're best at and it's fun as hell and i can't believe these dickheads are trying to fuck things up for us

This month marks 10 years since I left Binghamton to go to Albany because there was no way to earn more than minimum wage as a toddler teacher. Ten years of being told to be grateful for pitiful scholarships because parents matter more than child care providers who cant afford families of their own.

Krasner says he is ready to prosecute fed officers. Vasquez will not stand up to Trump, neither will the portland metro chamber, portland police alliance nor the candidates they endorse. Enough already. We must take control of our city and protect our people!

👏👏👏

Watching the press conference on the shooting and can’t help but think about how I’d trust tina kotek more if she weren’t selling Portland out by gutting preschool for all

ICE needs to be taken apart, brick by brick, and we need to salt the earth.

Governor I was not familiar with your game

Mitch Green says we need to abolish ICE and get them out of Portland.

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

ICE and CBP out of portland. I want national guard and cops following every one of these thugs around the city until they leave and never return

Solidarity with Minneapolis. Rest in peace Renee Good. We will fight like hell for those who stand in solidarity with immigrants. We will fight like hell for immigrants, documented and undocumented alike. We will love our neighbors. ICE must be abolished.

according to this, two people were shot by ICE and are alive

From pdxicewatch on insta

Update: Council will reconvene around 3:40pm.

ICE/CBP just shot two people in Portland.

Oregon Rep. Ricki Ruiz said 3 people in his district were taken by ICE agents who posed as utility workers. NW Natural, PGE have had to issue guidance in 7 languages on how to identify a legitimate employee, @miamaldonado.bsky.social reports: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/08/i...

Childcare providers in Minnesota are being demonized and scapegoated, and hounded by right-wing content creators. Amie Stager spoke with one childcare worker about the material consequences, and what cuts mean for both workers and the children they serve. for @workdaymagazine.bsky.social

If even Hochul can sign onto this, there's no reason why Kotek can't. Pure corruption and capitulation to the rich if she continues.

I will admit I was one of the people furious at Mitch Green for giving the "moderates" a good-faith concession so early by voting for EPG last year, but now I'm glad he did because the "moderates" outright refusal to do the same now makes their motives and loyalties so crystal clear.

Wait this is a good point! We all get the city paying into the dtc&s that pays Andrew Hoan to lobby the city and all that conflict, but the metro chamber reps the private companies that manage waste that keeps the district dirty.

Oregon gov wants to gut preschool-for-all in order to lower taxes on the rich (the program is funded by a tax on the wealthy). Here's Portland's business lobby praising her for it portlandmetrochamber.com/resources/ch...

rare picture of tina kotek explaining to young children why they dont deserve an education as much as phil knight deserves a 10th mansion

IF ONLY WE HAD A PROGRAM OF PRESCHOOL FOR ALL wait

The governor acknowledges every child’s opportunity to learn while actively trying to undermine that opportunity for children in Multnomah County by defunding (voter approved) Preschool for All for the sole benefit of the rich. Governor Doublespeak is in full campaign mode now.

Abolish ICE and Nuremberg-style trials for those complicit.

another cobyline with @lopatto.bsky.social: we think polymarket is somewhat problematic. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

lol. lmao even. 😂 Alright bluesky let's hear all the thoughts about today's council president election, don't be shy 👂🏾☕🫣

EPG is in the PBA group. So is Novick

Compliance is also enforced through the US economic system. The threat of hunger and homelessness is used to keep people in line, and access to healthcare is dependent on gainful employment. As such, the life expectancy at birth in the US is falling, unlike other industrialized nations.

I'll try and fill in!!!

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.
