Did you know that the Black Panther Party required 2 hours of reading per day for comrades 📚? If you're falling behind on your revolutionary reading, check out what some of our Black Emerge comrades read this Black History Month for some inspiration! What else should we add to our reading list? 👀

Excited to Welcome Portland’s Emerge Chapter to the Abolition and Anti-Imperialist Corner of the PNW… Follow @dsaemerge.bsky.social if you haven’t already and learn about abolition and anti-imperialism work happening across the nation and the world….

Already doing that here in Portland Oregon with @pdxafrosoc.bsky.social We protect our own!

There is a real enemy to fight in this moment, and it’s not each other. To me that’s the greatest tragedy of this time because I don’t know how we overcome this if we don’t work together.

I’ll be honest I thought it was dangerous when right wing folks were filming, felt less concerned when I realized it was revoke people, but a random man you don’t know with his face half covered following u/ filming you while you’re alone is not awesome. Some folks walked me to make sure I was safe

So I’ll repeat again: Councilors cannot make statements on a land use decision like the Macadam permit or they could be deemed as biased when it comes back to Council for a decision. We would be recused from the vote.

I started getting followed on my way home from an anti-war rally by a guy who was filming me so I assumed he was a right wing agitator and then he was a revoke person…demanding I answer why I support keeping the building open (I’ve never given a statement either way bc it’s a quasi judicial matter)

This captured the dignity and bravery I witness in Portlanders every day. Started tearing up reading it. From kids to elderly people, everyone showed bravery and a discipline to look out for their neighbors that day. I love the people of this city so much.

Come out to the Gateway district this Saturday for an evening of free, family-friendly fun at the Gateway Night Market! 🕑2:00pm - 7:00pm 📍The Oregon Clinic South Parking Lot, NE 99th Ave and NE Pacific St

@counciloravalos.bsky.social & @councilormorillo.bsky.social Let us know how we can help these next couple of council meetings…. #FuckRealEstate #HousingIsARight

That goes for what’s happened in Palestine as well. The surveillance technology they tested on Palestinians is now being used against us at home. The imperial boomerang always comes back. The war always comes home. Your fate is bound to mine, and mine to yours.

Make no mistake, we are now seeing white American citizens being murdered by law enforcement because we never truly addressed the way our law enforcement treats Black Americans. If we do not help each other, it’s only a matter of time before we all lose. Our liberation is tied together.

Important discussion today regarding that $21MM in unallocated PHB funds. I'm glad the latest version of the Slow the Inflow amendment passed. Grateful for all the hard work that went into getting this far. I'm offering amendments from here.

To the author of this uneducated opinion… Please go read a history book… they are called OPS. These councilors are OPS! They r “registered” Dems that’s are OPS @councilordanryan.bsky.social @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social @councilorepg.bsky.social @councilorclark.bsky.social Councilor Smith

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

You can’t talk about abolishing 🧊 without talking about abolishing the police and incarceral system as a whole! The root cause is the system as a whole… these are decedents from the slave catcher patrol mentality… This is White Supremacy/Imperialism is! #AbolishICE #AbolishPolice #Liberate

Thanks for the New Leaders program this evening PDX City Club… Thank you to our co-chair @metamorphosiscrow.bsky.social for showing up to support fellow local DSA leaders this evening… @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social @kanalforportland.bsky.social Cassie Wilson - Legislative Manager 4 1000 Friends

We can’t wait to build in what we experience and the new relationship we plan to nourish back to our upcoming AfroSOC Leadership Retreat at the end of this month.

The Council President vote was messy. But we need to be clear on why this process did not need to unfold the way it did, and why we were met with a prolonged deadlock, repeated deflections into technicalities, and unwillingness to engage directly with the merits of leadership.

We appreciate @councilorkanal.bsky.social raising concerns with rhetoric from @mayorkwilson.bsky.social telling Portlanders to call 911 and ask for PSR anytime they see someone experiencing homelessness. This is not PSR's mission & a troubling scope creep that could undermine the program's success.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

It's happening, here. We need certainty on who is operating in our city limits, and if the feds won't show credible indicia of authority, we need to create a pathway towards verifying who these people are, as one more step forward.

Racism isn’t just slurs or insults. It’s systems and decisions that consistently deny marginalized communities access to power, opportunity, stability, and dignity — often while pretending to be “neutral.” That’s what we’re actually talking about. Naming it isn't divisive. Ignoring it is.

I did this for you and he said that we should expect to hear from BPS very soon.

Last Saturday I joined our community to remember and honor the victims and survivors of ICE and Border Patrol violence at a vigil organized by the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition, Clear Clinic, Voz, Together Lab, and @solidaridadpdx.bsky.social.

Thank you @councilortkl.bsky.social for your unwavering dedication and service as this new government first Vice President… Clarke has BIG shoes to fill… We see you and appreciate you immensely. We continue to stand with you ✊🏾

I can’t & refuse to stand aside when anyone decides to use their race to up hold white supremacy in the name of Black Folks. No… if u are not in alignment 4 workings families. U need to remove yourself or u will be forced out. That’s democracy This Scorpio n Pluto Generation is done with the bull

For me the fight 2 get @councilorkanal.bsky.social as council president was a personal one because as a black woman who was born & raised n this “progressive.” City. These White folks always move the finish line… but 2 see a fellow black women play a role n the division of tearing down a brown man

My fight and flight is leaving my nervous system right now… and it’s leaving me with feelings of depression; and emotional heartache… I just wished BIPOC organizers and activists didn’t have to fight so hard and prove ourselves so much just to be still told… you aren’t good enough.

Portland State University is reversing course and fully complying with an arbitration decision ordering the university to reinstate some faculty laid off in last year’s budget cuts.

Thanks to the Steel Bridge Skate Coalition for showing me around the future location for the “crown jewel” of Portland’s skatepark system!

One thing is certain. Portland’s white elite elected’s historic tactic of pitting BIPOC against BIPOC based on tokenism is very alive & well We haven’t forgotten; that being said we appreciate being seen in this work just a reminder it was more BIPOC orgs calling out broken process than just EGC.

For the first time in living memory, Portland in effect has two viable political parties—and the second one isn’t the Republicans.
