I will not sit in the State of the Union while Donald Trump lies, demonizes immigrants, and threatens democracy. Instead, I will use this time to speak with my constituents about their concerns and hopes for OR-01. I am grateful to announce that @agdanrayfield.bsky.social will be joining me. 🧵

🚨Want to know which Canadian companies are profiting off of ICE and Trump’s violent mass deportation agenda?
Well I just spent the last few days digging into exactly that.
Here are the companies I found, how much they’re making, and whether they’re getting Canadian taxpayer dollars.

RIP Alex Pretti,
He was my Dad’s ICU nurse. He read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video, but his speech is very on point.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?
