Governor Kotek has consistently stood up for Oregonians and the values we share. We’ve worked side by side against harmful federal actions, including opposing troop deployment in Portland. She’s the partner I need to continue this fight, and I am proud to support her re-election.

Costco sues the Trump admin to ensure that it gets its money back if/when SCOTUS declares the tariffs illegal. This is what happens when the court lets the president break the law for a little while. Thanks, CJ Roberts! aaronrupar.substack.com/p/costco-tru...

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

Military members swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to police American cities and chill dissent. If you or a loved one has served in the military, join us in telling the Trump administration that troops don't belong on our streets.

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

The freedom to marry rightly remains the law of the land.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The First Amendment protects our right to make jokes at the federal government's expense. We have the high ground and the Constitution on our side.

Kim Davis who tried to get the #SupremeCourt to overturn same sex marriage now owes a gay couple $360k — Fabulous 🏳️‍🌈

Faced with the Trump administration's cuts to federal funding for #cleanenergy, here's how four #microgrid developers are striving to keep their projects afloat: microgridsnow.com/microgrid-de...

BREAKING - President Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

There’s money to bomb boats in Venezuela. There’s money to give $50k signing bonuses to ICE & increase their weapons budget 700% There’s $40 billion for Argentina There’s money for military vanity parades. But there’s no money for SNAP, healthcare or housing. Got it.

New podcast: What is "junk data" and how does it increase #datacenter #energy costs? If #data centers decrease the amount of junk data, focus on #energyefficiency, #demandresponse and other measures, data center energy costs can drop 40% to 60%, says my guest: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

The devastation wrought by Hurricane #Helene in North Carolina last year led to $5 million in funding for Beehive #Microgrids–permanent and portable #solar microgrids that will serve communities vulnerable to storm damage. #energyresilence www.microgridknowledge.com/community-mi...

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

#NoKingsDay in #Portland today:

The American founders didn't expect Mike Johnson. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is fed up with Mike Johnson and the Republicans for refusing to do anything about healthcare insurance costs

More proof that #Portland is "war-ravaged." Women wearing solar panels, youth working to protect the environment. Listen to my report from the trenches: @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @divestoregon.bsky.social @thirdactorg.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva would be the deciding signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files.    Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in as a voting member. I wonder why? newrepublic.com/post/201005/...

New #podcast: What's not to like about #pluginsolar? You can hang it from balconies or install it on sheds or walls, then plug it into a standard outlet and begin producing electricity. But regulatory and legislative roadblocks prevent it from becoming ubiquitous. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

War-ravaged Portland

Peaceful #Portland protest today against #Trump's federal occupation threats. No war zone here!

Today the Trump administration federalized and deployed 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. This is a reckless abuse of power. Troops have no business policing our communities.

Some companies are developing next-generation, #carbon-free technologies that are still eligible for the federal #investmenttaxcredit and can be used to help meet high demand. #microgrids www.microgridknowledge.com/generation-f...

Credit to @robertgarcia.bsky.social for forcing the subpoena of the Epstein book and releasing it to the public, and for keeping the pressure on in the media too. Every single Democrat in Congress should be this aggressive with this administration.

A new coalition of businesses, nonprofits and consumers wants to address #utility price increases sparked by #datacenter, #AI and #electrification load increases by deploying more #microgrids and #distributedenergyresources www.microgridknowledge.com/distributed-...
