Vastly underreported angle to Sameer Kanal as Council President --- the guy used to run model U.N. conferences. He quite literally understands the importance of bringing together diverse perspectives to overcome contentious issues.

EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION: ICE just shot 2 people in Portland. Come to a vigil tonight 6pm at Portland City Hall

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

Update: Council will reconvene around 3:40pm.

City officials are in a briefing right now with police chief Bob Day and police union president Aaron Schmautz. A group of anti-ICE protestors yelled “revoke the permit” at Police Chief Bob Day as he entered 25 mins ago. (There is no threat to City Hall and this is likely unrelated, just a scene.)

Portland city council was abruptly recessed moments ago and councilors are now in a meeting. High tensions but no one is talking in an official capacity at the moment. Will keep you posted.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

@portlanddsa.bsky.social has an electoral working group and democracy commission dedicated to exactly this! This is being put together as we tweet, join DSA and help bring it together! act.dsausa.org/s/2814.hazd5y

I think it’s honestly disgusting and deeply unserious that the Revoke the Permit people have clipped videos of my women colleagues eating pizza at the dais as some kind of shaming tool, which is now being used by right-wing media to harass them in misogynistic ways. Congrats everyone.

Gresham's new East County Library is incredible! It's no branch library, but a flagship like Central Library downtown. It's credited to Portland's Holst Architecture, but the design came equally (or more) from Ghanaian-Brit starchitect David Adjaye (who was dropped before construction). WOW.

what this guy said

Hey @councilordanryan.bsky.social are you gonna call the AG a Nazi too, you fucking idiot?

Disagreement on policy is welcome and reasonable, but calling me a Nazi for cosponsoring an ordinance to ban price-fixing is completely unacceptable. Councilor Ryan edited his post, but did not disclose the edit and explain the nature of the substantive change, so it’s here for posterity.

Time for a Renters Bill of Rights, not mass arrests and further criminalization of those in poverty.

“Mayor Wilson’s decision to unleash the police on our most vulnerable neighbors on the very day they lose their food assistance is an act of stunning inhumanity[.]”

“Portland DSA stands in solidarity with the unhoused. A first step would be passage of the Renters’ Bill of Rights — a landmark set of protections which would stem the deepening houselessness crisis.” portlanddsa.org/portland-dsa...

Well said!!

1/2 “Mayor Wilson’s decision to unleash the police on our most vulnerable neighbors on the very day they lose their food assistance is an act of stunning inhumanity,” said Chris Olson, Co-Secretary of the Housing Working Group in Portland DSA (@portlanddsa.bsky.social)

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.

Sorry am I to understand that Rockne Roll *isn’t* a fake name

Portland DSA Housing Working group will be here! Come talk about the Renters Bill of Rights.

Glad these bozos were kept out of the NW Oregon labor council thanks to the pressure campaign led by @portlanddsa.bsky.social and trade union militants!

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Like I said: Kristi Noem is a liar, has no honor, and we are lucky that we have a proud protest tradition that shows this administration we are not backing down. 🫡🐸🐔

Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo humorously criticizes Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, leading to laughter from CNN's Boris Sanchez.

“This is all pretty clear: The president wants to turn the military loose on American civilians. Having merged right-wing terror with the Republican Party, the government is now attempting a purge of anyone Trump deems an enemy.”

@corbinsmith.bsky.social with a must read article 🔥

I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.

I'm going to sound like the biggest hater & loser in the world and I know we must do our political performance but the "look at my war ravaged Portland" photos especially from politicians are getting a little 😬 when we have crisis levels of people without housing including unknown numbers of kids

Continued escalation from Trump this morning. I need to hear a forceful response to this from Gov. Kotek, assuring Oregonians we will not tolerate this level of illegal intimidation. To service-members: remember you do not have to follow an unlawful order such as implied below.

These are the perks of being a DSA councilor

A proposal for a food cart pod on SW Salmon between 2nd and 3rd has been approved. www.portland.gov/ppd/zoning-l... The site was formerly home to the Lotus Cardroom & Cafe, which was demolished for a high rise hotel that never broke ground.

Immigration advocates say if you see ICE targeting someone, knowing what to do in the moment is critical to protecting immigrants. It’s hard to know what to look for, but this guide can help you better understand how to be an effective bystander in Oregon, and your legal right to do so.

Congratulations to 21CS' Luisa on her reelection to the DSA National Political Committee! Luisa and the other members of the @sor4dsa.bsky.social slate will ensure DSA is anti-Zionist in principle and practice and is the fighting, internationalist org members voted for!

First DSA convention was a lot of fun ✊🌹

Total Dipshit Fans Think Pop-Up Fly Ball Going To Be Home Run

some of y’all need to stop taking your frustrations with ICE out on angelita, the only immigrant on council, who is also the one who has done the most in this space and generally goes the hardest against fascists of any kind. why aren’t you lashing out at me or literally anyone else?

Damn right

Trump is an authoritarian fascist. Full stop. DHS are fascists. Full stop. You do not give them an inch. You stand up and you fight back. All those No Kings rallies with tens of thousands of people in the streets - what do we think that was for? It's not a mandate for appeasement, to be sure.

"This isn’t just about one bill. It’s about whether community-driven solutions can survive when those in power object."

Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

i didn't make this

Cuomo drunkenly wandering through the Hamptons, yelling WHERES MY HUG to every woman he sees

Facts matter, especially when they concern the future of our children and our economic development strategies that support young families. The fact is that the number of high income earners paying into Preschool for All is increasing.
