I think it’s honestly disgusting and deeply unserious that the Revoke the Permit people have clipped videos of my women colleagues eating pizza at the dais as some kind of shaming tool, which is now being used by right-wing media to harass them in misogynistic ways. Congrats everyone.

Gresham's new East County Library is incredible! It's no branch library, but a flagship like Central Library downtown. It's credited to Portland's Holst Architecture, but the design came equally (or more) from Ghanaian-Brit starchitect David Adjaye (who was dropped before construction). WOW.

Hey @councilordanryan.bsky.social are you gonna call the AG a Nazi too, you fucking idiot?
BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals.

Disagreement on policy is welcome and reasonable, but calling me a Nazi for cosponsoring an ordinance to ban price-fixing is completely unacceptable. Councilor Ryan edited his post, but did not disclose the edit and explain the nature of the substantive change, so it’s here for posterity.

Time for a Renters Bill of Rights, not mass arrests and further criminalization of those in poverty.

“Portland DSA stands in solidarity with the unhoused. A first step would be passage of the Renters’ Bill of Rights — a landmark set of protections which would stem the deepening houselessness crisis.”

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

Glad these bozos were kept out of the NW Oregon labor council thanks to the pressure campaign led by @portlanddsa.bsky.social and trade union militants!

“This is all pretty clear: The president wants to turn the military loose on American civilians. Having merged right-wing terror with the Republican Party, the government is now attempting a purge of anyone Trump deems an enemy.”

I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.

I'm going to sound like the biggest hater & loser in the world and I know we must do our political performance but the "look at my war ravaged Portland" photos especially from politicians are getting a little 😬 when we have crisis levels of people without housing including unknown numbers of kids

Continued escalation from Trump this morning. I need to hear a forceful response to this from Gov. Kotek, assuring Oregonians we will not tolerate this level of illegal intimidation. To service-members: remember you do not have to follow an unlawful order such as implied below.
Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."
