We’re at the Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals and the Federation of Classified Employees strike rally today!
Hey Portland Community College, stop disrespecting your workers and undermining public education!
Screencap of trimet transit rider public forum on service cuts.
Transit riders are famously always available for a meeting at 9 AM on a Wednesday.
Wait, so you’re telling me that a bunch of high-paid corporate lobbyists subsidized by public $ were misleading the public about tax flight to try to cut taxes for the rich?
Nah, couldn’t be!
It really is socialism or barbarism
Poster that says no war with Iran with bombs dropping and hands reaching up. Artist credit to @toosphexy
The trash that occupies the White House (and any legislator failing to act to stop him) is bombing children in Iran. This is intolerable. The time for mass mobilization is now. Join an org, get into the streets, contact your reps. No war on Iran.
Canvass for Dr Tammy Carpenter with DSA on February 28th flyer
Send (another) socialist to the Statehouse! Come out and canvass for Dr. Tammy Carpenter this weekend. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/tammycarpent...
Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez
The Philly District Attorney compared ICE to Nazis & publicly vowed to hunt them down if they broke the law/harmed their people.
If a DA rules against an ICE agent, that ruling stands IN SPITE OF the supremacy clause.
Where is DA Vasquez in the conversation? Where is the pressure on his office?
Any day is a great day to join DSA!
Its a sad moment. Seems right to me tbh.
I love that @portlanddsa.bsky.social has top tier posters.
While I’m alarmed at the sheer scale of unbudgeted funds in the PHB sub funds, I think the City Administrator’s memo today meets the mark in terms of responsiveness and transparency. It tells us the unvarnished truth that a serious problem exists and acknowledges need for audits.
We cannot have normal responses in abnormal times. This moment requires incredible imagination, leadership, and a willingness to step outside the bounds of normalcy to protect everything we hold dear.
union logos for 30 Oregon unions and labor organizations
Today, 31 unions & labor organizations representing over 130,000 workers in Portland and OR sent a letter to @mayorkwilson.bsky.social & District Attorney Vasquez demanding that they enforce the law and get justice for the children, elderly, & working people tear gassed by ICE on 1/31.

The oversight resolution from me, Councilor Green, and Councilor Avalos passes!
Aye - Avalos, Smith, Pirtle Guiney, Kanal, Green, Morillo, Koyama Lane, Dunphy
Nay - Ryan, Clark, Novick, Zimmerman
Portlanders deserve transparency about public dollars, I hope this is the beginning.
Im a big fan of Tammy.
Shout out to @councilorgreen.bsky.social for pushing around transparency. Absurd that 20 million plus can mysteriously be found after budget negotiations. Every councilor should be supporting your moves for transparency.
My entire life in elected office is saying something behind closed doors that makes other electeds roll their eyes or be dismissive and then a few months later they match my stride / pace / energy because that’s what it takes to meet the moment we’re in.
A few more images from yesterday's rally. Thousands strong against ICE terror!
We are at a crossroads. The Police Union can choose to stand with Portlanders, to stand against fascism, or they can continue to obstruct policies that would reign the feds in because they see a kinship with corrupt law enforcement and not with the good people of our city.
There is a choice here.
If a thumbs down gives you trauma politics might not be for you.
TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.
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.
Labor fights back against ICE terror! Join us on Saturday the 31 for a show of Union strength, in solidarity with Minnesota and our neighbors! 3-4:30 @ Elizabeth Caruthers Park, 3508 S. Moody Ave. Bring your union banners!

Its so refreshing to hear @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social lay it all out in directly political terms. The vote for council president is political. Its just dishonest to pretend otherwise.
The best rebuke to these texts is electing @councilorkanal.bsky.social to council president
Corporate power is waning on Portland City Council bc the people elected 4 dem socialists to council‼️
Absolutely hilarious & validating to have their reactions to this publicized! Keep it coming yall, it just emboldens the working class! ✊🏻
