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

The actual story that isn’t here is that the socialist city councilors are getting their agenda passed because they are smarter & more disciplined than the other people on council. They understand procedural rules better and have policy aims. Dan Ryan just takes up space. Zimmerman has no politics.

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.

Sometimes I remember things from twitter fondly. Like when Mitch Green stood up for trans rights and people were like "standing up for trans rights means you're going to lose the election!" And then he won.

I don't have enough words to convey my disgust for what @tinakotek.bsky.social is trying to do to our hard-won universal preschool program on behalf of the millionaire & billionaire class of Portland (or its suburbs, more accurately). 🧵 www.wweek.com/news/schools...

PROTECT UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL!!!

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Great crowd outside City Hall all geared up for the final push to counter the right wing police funded narrative with the Portland DSA vision of a city that works for everyone.

Excellent article offering a deep dive into everything our chapter is *actually* up to! Join us!! portlanddsa.org/join-us/

Train keeps on rolling!! 💪🌹

Washington, Oregon, California — decent political & cultural continuity. 6th biggest economy in the world. Just sayin’

Coming in like…

Everyone come on out for a little fun this weekend!

ICE has brought its new tactic of moving to dismiss cases & detaining people to PDX. One person was taken yesterday but others were not because they were informed of their options in time. Please spread this updated KYR training from PIRC & allied groups far and wide. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It is explicitly more beneficial for police to let this continue. We've all seen how many officers they can assemble at a moments notice when they shoot someone and word gets out.

Gorgeous day outside and still a great turnout at the @pdxrenterpower.bsky.social town hall at Leaven Community center in district 2 with @councilorgreen.bsky.social , @councilorkanal.bsky.social and @councilorepg.bsky.social

There were definitely more of us (in favor of diverting a proposed increase to the police budget towards park funding) than there were of them (grifters, losers, and people who have terrified themselves into thinking that everyone is out to get them)

Imagine if institutions that actually care for human beings had these resources.

Best part is on last second notice the real community of grassroots orgs rallied more people today, in the middle of the work day, to show up and counter the police narrative than they could rally!! @portlanddsa.bsky.social @workingfamilies.org @aclu.org @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social FTW
