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.

Excited 4 us leaders of PDX AfroSOC; on attending our 1st convention together this weekend… we will be visiting Seattle 2 learn & speak with BIPOC organizers & collaborators across the west coast on the importance of land & liberation with organizers of the people’s network 4 land & liberation

Good morning Portland Mercury and anyone who ISNT @councilordanryan.bsky.social We love good ACCURATE journalism in the morning

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.

• Jamie Dunphy elected President of Portland City Council so everyone can go home • Data centers likely to cost Oregonians $$$ • Portland council considers ban on masked law enforcement. • It’s Good Morning, News!

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.

This is outrageous! We are rally folx for tonight to join in solidarity and stand up for our fallen brother. Pls email: [email protected] if you want to join us. See you tonight at 9pm in NOPO #Amerikkka #PortlandOR

It’s about to be a rough road ahead! Now is the time BIPOC families find sanctuary with one another and revert back to our roots. De-centering whiteness in our organizing and advocacy is crucial to our personal and ancestral survival. Our FEAR is valid! Our DREAMS are valid! Link in the bio ✊🏾

A very rough road!

Not apologizing for having real human emotions while the world is on fire. People are being killed for seeking aid and snatched off streets without due process. You can have your opinion on how I should act—I’m allowed to disagree. Anyway, back to my staycation so I can rest before the next battle 👋🏾

Small steps create big efforts. 😉

A gentle reminder that it’s okay not to be okay right now…. We are human

Today was a great day for pro-housing policies in Oregon! HB 2138 and SB 684 both passed out of their second chamber today in the Legislature. These two bills were top PNW priorities this session. Thank you so much for your support! Read more about these bills: mailchi.mp/eab5f5cfaf69... #orleg
