I haven’t forgotten about the Epstein Files. I never will forget about the Epstein Files. Every single survivor deserves justice. Leak the Epstein Files.

The thing about nonviolence is that it requires your oppressor to have a conscious AND see you as human. When those conditions are non existent, non violence does not work.

Alex Pretti was a great American. The people defending his killers are not.

Driving away from Minneapolis today, with a heart both heavy and full. And I'm thinking about how the fascists claim to be fighting in the name of Christianity... They're making this big deal of a protest at a church. They're making these targeted arrests, claiming that anti-ICE is antireligious.

It is critical that folks take the opportunity to uplift he impacts reduced services will create. Please share out!

The effort to less than nothing is astonishing.

Having the opportunity to listen to both Commission Stapleton and @counciloravalos.bsky.social Avalos is such a privilege. You can see the work being done to build a more representative, responsive, and effective government from city to county.

As I wake up this morning I can’t help but wonder, what fresh hell awaits me this morning? Probably further erasure of years and years of my work in an attempt to appease the Trump administration - we aren’t getting the funding, can we stop pretending we will?

It's 25 days past the deadline to release the Epstein files.

CBS has received updated info from 2 US govt anonymous sources of ICE agent Jonathan Ross being treated at the hospital after he was allegedly touched by a car.

Sitting Portland City Councilor Ryan gets caught having a relationship with a racist Owendoff, and pouts about it. There was plenty of context, and Ryan consistently reminds us, he’s very experienced, the most in fact. He’s just mad he got caught. www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/01...

This isn’t surprising, we all know that the underbelly of Portland is deeply rooted in white supremacy. System change challenging that control is typically responded to by vitriolic temper tantrums by those whose power hasn’t been challenged in decades if ever www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/01...

Buddy Guy not being on this list is a crime.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds a lower court block on Trump’s attempt to send the National Guard to Chicago, ruling the president unlawfully used an archaic statute to federalize hundreds of state troops.

BREAKING: Three Democratic justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court have all won another 10-year term in a retention election. The Court’s 5-2 Democratic majority will remain, giving Democrats the chance to continue using it to protect voting rights. More to come.

Let’s be very clear here - this is an administration that’s desperate for support for a “solution” that is the most expensive and least effective. The Mayor is wasting time and money trying to hide the problem not solve it.

Electric finish at The House ⚡️

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

So proud of Councilor Morillo for speaking truth to power in this interview with MSNBC. This moment calls for determined, authentic, and grounded leadership. Thank you for demonstrating that!

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

I was tagged in an alarming arrest video that is an ongoing investigation, shared by Don't Shoot PDX. The video depicts officers arresting youths allegedly involved in a situation that occurred outside the Central Library. We will share more once we learn more. But I felt this statement was needed.

Folks really be acting up on the internet. Strange behavior…

Anti-Blackness and anti-indgeneity is the glue that ties capitalist Dems & fascist together. If dems could be honest that investments in ICE, continuing the war on drugs, and redistricting to limit the power of Black and brown votes are all connected

Dark. And even darker: It’s called “Fort Bliss” www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.

Famine confirmed for 1st time in Gaza, warns @theipcinfo.bsky.social. 500,000+ people are affected, with conditions projected to spread further. @fao.org @unicef.org @wfp.org & @who.int urge an immediate ceasefire & full humanitarian access to stop deaths from hunger. www.fao.org/newsroom/det...

Right? RIGHT???!!!???

A number of people/groups have asked where one can learn about Portland's planning process and what the Planning Commission does. So as your Chair, I'm spending this lovely Thursday summer evening putting together a video playlist from our Planning Commission training from 2023. Coming soon...

Oh no. I agree with Meek?!?! What’s happening…

Here with my team to listen at the @friendsofpfa.bsky.social town hall. This room is packed with enthusiasm for universal preschool.

“The Problem Solver Network, a program run by the Public Environment Management Office (PEMO) under the Portland Solutions umbrella, gives Portlanders regular opportunities to meet directly with city staff, who have been directed to act urgently on their behalf.”

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Cuomo relaunch week ends with $450K settlement reached by state with Brittany Commisso, the former gubernatorial aide who in 2021 leveled what were arguably the most serious sexual harassment allegations against the former governor. Brendan Lyons reports.

Don’t let this grifter fool you. She voted for this when she voted Yes on the Laken Riley Act. She signed a blank check to a fascist regime. Then she signed on to a bill to thank ICE for committing atrocities across the nation. Don’t be fooled by her. VOTE HER OUT 🗳️

Oregon’s Court of Appeals chided state police on Wednesday for using warrantless surveillance to bust an illegal marijuana operation, sending the court’s clearest message yet about how officers may use aerial technology, @shaanthx.bsky.social reports. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/07/03/o...

Funny how Drazan has selective issues with backroom deals. If she gave an iota of a shit about Oregon’s infrastructure she’d spend less time pretending she did anything but pander to a loud minority of Oregon voters and shield Yunker from consequences. Give it a break.

It’s wild to me that Bynum calls this an “abomination” when this bill gives ICE an agency that Bynum just thanked for their work MILLIONS and MILLIONS more dollars. I am shocked she even cares.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

In the 2025 Legislative Session, Democrats chose to take funding away from childcare and supplemental food resources, and then complained bitterly about being held accountable for it. One such measure of accountability was a truck that displayed a message them not to forget our kids.

There are so many moments of resistance that I’m finding hope in. Thank you WI!!!

Primaries are coming up. Accountability matters.

✋ Former US government War Power lawyer here. The War Powers Resolution does not/not provide any additional authority to use military force. The Article II arguments for using force against Iran are entirely bogus. As are any claims that either the 2001 or 2002 AUMFs authorize this attack.

I am the daughter of an active duty Vietnam veteran. I know the cost of war is paid for by generations. I take exception and feckless leaders who will fain their distaste for a political action and won’t do the bare minimum to address it. @salinas.house.gov sign the War Powers Act .

Whoa. Bed bugs at society hotel?

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

People from all over the world have taken are protesting the rise of fascism. Millions of people across the US yesterday alone. This energy has to be funneled on the local level. We can make significant impact whenever we are. Down ballot, town halls, city council, school board, mutual aid. Let’s go

Portland City Council has historically failed to control PPB in any meaningful way. Despite being caught campaigning on the clock, lying to victims, slow rolling response times, violently assaulting people & costing the city $8.2M in settlements over the 4 years. hope this couples is more successful

He has been met at his town halls with people from his district pointing out the impacts of this bill over and over again. It’s beyond time to vote him out and elect someone with the fortitude necessary to do right by their constituency. Like ensuring they have access to food - wild thought.
