The Rumble On The River folks will upload it when they can!

We're here with ~60 activists from all over who will go home soon and have a really different story to tell about Portland organizing and reality 💪

Such an inspiring and enriching conversation last night with @sarahana.bsky.social, @councilorgreen.bsky.social, @uniteoregon.bsky.social. Thanks @publicgrids.org for lifting up our social housing vision.

Don’t give up hope. We have a world to win!

This conversation filled my cup. 💕

Thank you! 💕 The Unitarian church was fantastic and I can't say enough times how generous and kind every Portland interaction I've had has been. So glad to be here!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The *entire* tech industry, a third of the US stock market, is wrapped up on *this* finally being the way to use these magical beans.

Literally the same people who 2 years ago were shouting that NFT's were the trick to using these magic beans, and crypto before that.

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.

"Housing, transit, energy, and food should all be conceived of as a public utility." @drmitchpdx.bsky.social

"We have to imagine the world we want to live in because right now we're living in someone else's imagination instead." Je, paraphrasing Ruha Benjamin's Imagination: A Manifesto.

Frog mentioned in first 5 minutes. Zohran mentioned in first 30. We are talking about social housing for all; the end of the disappearances of our neighbors; the end of for profit utilities; and a public sector that provides.

It's INCREDIBLE to hear a good word from these folks tonight about a future for everyone... Je Amaechi from @uniteoregon.bsky.social, Tiffani McCoy from @houseourneighbors.bsky.social, NY Assemblymember @sarahana.bsky.social, and Portland's own @councilorgreen.bsky.social

Tonight we're talking about a positive vision for the future, the lives we are fighting hard for beyond the reach of the fascists trying to drive us underground and crush our communities— something that isn't hypothetical here in Portland.

Best city for politics, public power, and pizza!

“For city leaders, the new entertainment district and the $7 billion Olympic Games offer a spotlight for waves of investment. For thousands of Black renters and homeowners, they signal another chapter in a long cycle of rising rents, displacement, and environmental burdens” @adamlmahoney.bsky.social

Hang on I gotta read this interview with the protest chicken about how they were inspired by the protest frog that defeated the military occupation

New era of shanties has arrived @erinbiba.bsky.social

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

@heatmap.news

I've been so inspired by everyone involved in this! Can't wait

The other night I ate a bowl of a ramen and the frog rolled by, Portland officially one of the top 4 American cities

I'm just so proud of all of us who came together to start For The People Leftist Library. We punch so much above our weight. We have no money and yet we have done sooooo much by being creative and by relying on each other. I am grateful and also determined to keep pushing for the next 2 years.

Another beautiful morning in a wonderful city full of bad asses

OH review of Portland: "it's so cute here, everyone's just a different gender, riding a bike"
