WHY are you giving even one inch to the fascists? Untold numbers of people will die because of this guy and the sentence "RFK Jr. is not wrong" is what you write? WHY?

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

While I did receive a call from the Mayor at 7:30 in the morning about this, I was informed the LUCS would be approved within the hour. I hadn’t even gotten to City Hall yet.

@councilorgreen.bsky.social and I kept Mayor Wilson up to date on our Zenith resolution constantly, to be good partners.

Councilor Sameer Kanal @councilorkanal.bsky.social · Feb 3

This was non-transparent, even to Councilors - I found out through this press release.

This is not good governance.

Portlanders deserve open processes. You did not receive one on the LUCS. An open process doesn't mean any specific outcome, but it would have been more transparent.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · Jan 30

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

Racists found a way to blame Boeing crashes on DEI.🤡

They found a way to blame the LA fires on DEI.🤡

They'll find a way to blame this on DEI too.

Facts don't matter.

If someone has enough racism and sexism in them, their mind covers the gap between the truth and all these easily debunkable lies.

My message to members of the sclerotic Democratic old guard is:

Follow your dreams. Write that book. Start that sheep farm. Spend more time with your great-grandkids.

There is no shame in not being adequate to this moment. Now make room for people who are.

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship.

But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing.

I totally support your work, but can no longer afford my monthly donation. I've tried so many ways of telling y'all that, but I have no confirmation. Please get in touch.

CSA all day. One note -- local producers , (i.e. Three Sisters Nixtamal Tortillas, King Harvest) rely on business through New Seasons, etc. (where I'm also not shopping until the workers have a fair contract). If you bought local from a larger store, please seek their products out at the source.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

“To confront the Trump government without compromise, we must raise what Martin Luther King Jr. called a ‘coalition of conscience,’” writes Timothy Seseki Kudo, a Marine veteran whose Japanese American family was deported during World War II.

If Trump issues his own order on Day 1, as he’s vowed, the first people could enter detention camps by February.
