We stand with Oregonians’ right to organize – and we are standing with unions in a legal fight to protect employees’ right to bargain collectively. We are proud to be part of this fight. #orpol #LaborDay #LaborDay2025 @afscme.bsky.social @oregonafscme.bsky.social

In Ohio, Republicans seem to not be able to give a general answer to a simple question. I hope the one is joking with the Jurassic Park answer.... Education, science, and facts matter.

Every single person in DC that is physically able to get in the streets should do so tomorrow. What he's got planned in the wake of 'Big Balls'' "attack" spells the end of your freedom.

Good advice here, signing up to work the polls is a concrete, productive step to take to help protect democracy. Now, to find the equivalent here in Oregon - email sent to my county elections office! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The regime just turned a convicted murderer loose after bringing him to the US from Venezuela. Yup, keeping us all safe. bsky.app/profile/hale...

Tom Homan's name is a lot like him. At first glance, you mistakenly think it is human, but you look at it for more than a second and you realize it most definitely is not.

Just stop shopping at Amazon period. The thread covers some of the major problems. I canceled last fall and have not been sorry at all. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. bsky.app/profile/gene...

Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.

Raskin: "I found the preamble to this big ugly bill. 'We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people's defenses, undermine the general welfare, and have staggering debt servitude for eternity ... '"

JD Vance would rather make sure ICE has funding to deport your hard-working neighbor over a traffic ticket than make sure you have healthcare.

We can stop Fascism without ever engaging with law enforcement. We can do it from the safety of our own homes. It's called a General Strike. It takes planning and coordination and an intense focus on community care. So let's get to it.

Knowing that the regime will likely be "making an example" out of liberal states that commonly have large protests, more states should be acting, like Oregon is, to limit federal use of their Nation Guard units. Especially going into wildfire season- the National Guard will be needed elsewhere.

Stealing public land to put it in private hands is hideous. As an Oregonian, I know how much we treasure our green spaces and we should be outraged. Know someone who has Republican representation, have them call, call, call! Check out the map on this site. www.wilderness.org/articles/blo...

There is no excuse for this. Violence against politicians MUST stop. #wethepeople

This red aldisa (Aldisa sanguinea) had the most adorable caboose. It was also over an inch long! #nudibranchs #oregoncoast

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

Yesterday I saw a post about some obscenely cheap chicken nuggets available at the grocery. I use the word "obscenely" because the true cost of those nuggets is paid by the chickens and the workers who made them into nuggets. www.indiegogo.com/projects/the...

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

The NYT did a piece on women and children dying because their HIV treatments had been taken away by the US regime. It was very hard to read. I'm glad someone put this website together to show just how harmful the "policies" are. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

I found my first stubby dendronotid (Dendronotus subramosus) while tidepooling last weekend - they are completely adorable and remind me vaguely of tardigrades! #nudibranchs

House Democrats are fighting back against Trump's Tax Scam by getting Republicans on the record. Democrats have introduced over 100 amendments to protect people's health care but Republicans have voted down all of them, including: Requiring HHS to certify the bill won't reduce Medicaid coverage. 🧵

The ability of carbon dioxide to cause warming has been known for well over a century. This piece outlines the mid-1900s alarm bells and subsequent sweeping any concern under the rug. www.ucs.org/resources/fo...

With news of a “temporary truce” with China on our self-imposed tariffs, we’re really getting a crash course on the “Art of the Deal.“

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social FTW! Slay that bitch Noem!

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

A lot of people are blind to the backup plan by billionaires. They've been buying up islands for decades now, building compounds, planning on going to mars. It shouldn't be a surprise that they plan to push everything to the brink and then scurry into their lairs. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.”

Excellent reminder. The Tr*mp regime swiftly negotiated the release and return to the US of two men accused of rape and sex trafficking. But they can't return an innocent man who they are paying to keep in a torture prison?

Venezuelan migrant Andry was deported from the U.S. to El Salvador’s mega-prison based on his tattoos, his lawyer told 60 Minutes, adding that her client had a strong asylum claim and no criminal record. https://cbsn.ws/42yt4Fd

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Like to buy cheap meat? It comes at a cost - to the workers doing awful, body-destroying work & to the animals who suffer horrible treatment on their way to slaughter. Check out the photo of the live chickens hanging by their feet waiting to be eviscerated by machine. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
