I’m extremely excited to re-elect @drmitchpdx.bsky.social, @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social, & Tiffany Koyama Lane next year over the loud & extremely annoying objections of Portland’s wealthy conservatives.

Who knows, maybe we’ll fuck around & pick up a few more seats & get a true progressive majority.
It’s a great night to be a socialist!

It’s a great night if you believe in the power of the working class!

It’s a great night to commit yourself to the project of building a city that works for the many and not the few!

To write a lengthy article about a (hugely overstated) "teacher absentee crisis" and not talk to a single teacher currently working in Oregon schools is quite unfortunate. The framing here encourages people to pick sides instead of working together to solve any potential problem that might exist.
In and around Portland, teachers are missing more school than ever. Their bosses don't want to talk about it
It's not just students. Post-pandemic, teachers are also missing significantly more school days. Oregon has virtually no policies in place to counteract the trend.

Let's go @clackcoea.bsky.social 💪💪💪
Because of the hard work, engagement and unified stance of CCEA members, the county caved on a retroactive cost-of-living adjustment, something they said they would never do.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers

This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

her hospital had its reimbursements cut off because the trump administration wants to kill marginalized people so they can fund tax breaks for rich assholes and privatize popular public services

but nobody can communicate this cause and effect honestly to workers, it's all couched in ambiguities

I'm no scholar of the Great Depression or the New Deal (nudge @rauchway.bsky.social), but my understanding is that "Do big obvious helpful things, and tell people about them" worked on a much poorer & less educated base & retained that base for decades, built with public works in wake of gilded age.

All teachers want is adequate funding, smaller class sizes to give our students the education they deserve and to not live paycheck to paycheck. We’d also appreciate people listening to us about what works in education instead of highly paid consultants and people who haven’t taught since pre-Covid.

Union members need to seize control of their union’s political departments. The fact that Lori Chavez-Ramirez was glorified by some unions, to the point where Jason Miller can forever use this propaganda. Even went as far as to write an OP-Ed in support, and now we are damned. She sold us all out.
