Starving children in America is the same as starving children in Gaza. It's a part of the war this administration continues to wage on the American people.
I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. — Coretta Scott King quoted in King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life of Struggle Outside the South #CiteBlackWomenSunday

REPORT: Federal troops arrive in Portland and are confronted by Temu Dr. Robotnik.
Close up on Chris Olson’s face. Shaved except for a bushy mustache and wearing small sunglasses. The head and face of Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog games. Bald head with a shiny dome, but dominated by a huge, bushy mustache that flares dramatically outward on both sides of his face. His nose is large, bulbous, and often pink. He wears tinted or reflective glasses or goggles over his eyes.

I’m not sure what they all have in common. It’s probably just a coincidence they are all Black men and women. 🤷‍♂️

There is one exception… just to be fair.

#trump #nationalguard #dc #chicago #la #portland
I wonder what the mayors of the city's Trump wants to send the National Guard into have in common. Thinking emoji. It is a picture of the mayors of LA, Chicago, DC, Memphis, Baltimore, and New Orleans Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, a white man.

Here is my original post and the email that Vikki sent. The facts speak for themselves. [2/2]
PRESS ADVISORY: GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE, DEMAND THE CITY COUNCIL RESTORE "MIDNIGHT" CUTS TO POLICE External Inbox x Vikki Payne <director@futureportland.org> to bcc: me - PRESS ADVISORY Date: 5/27/2025 Contact: Vikki Payne 716-998-2165 Director@futureportland.org 3:23 PM (0 minutes ago) 中 GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE, DEMAND THE CITY COUNCIL RESTORE "MIDNIGHT" CUTS TO POLICE On Wednesday at 10am, grassroots organizations, community leaders and local business owners from across Portland and Gresham will meet to hold a press conference calling on city council to reverse its decision to cut the police budget by $2 million and restore it to the full level proposed by Mayor Wilson. Press Conference Wednesday: Wed, 5/28 @ 10-11am Menlo Park Park & Ride E Burnside & 122nd Ave. Terrence Hayes will be leading the press conference, and we are hosting it in East Portland, at an intersection TriMet has dubbed the most crime-ridden in their entire tri-county service area. We Portlanders do not want to see our public safety budget cut and we do want to see police vacancies filled and the only way to do that is by increasing morale, which starts with electeds supporting our law enforcement officers, and in this case, that means via the budget vote. #### Vikki Payne Policy Director Future Portland www.futureportland.org

I wrote about this on June 2 on my Substack. A few days later, Future Portland claimed on Instagram that a “volunteer” sent an email from Vikki’s account and signed her name. (See Screenshots)

I guess that wasn’t true 🤷‍♂️

Just more lies from Future Portland and the Portland Metro Chamber. [1/2]
future_portland 11w We have multiple marketing volunteers who share access to MailChimp, Gmail and all of our socials. You never know who is posting or emailing at any given time if you're not on the team. It's really a shame you're disparaging us like this when you were welcomed at all of our candidate events last year and took advantage of the opportunities we made available to you. Reply Hide Hide replies Reply 1 chrisolsonpdx 11w • Author @future_portland It would be odd to share someone's email account. This was not sent through Mailchimp because it's BCC'd. Bottom line this is a bad look for you. 2 chrisolsonpdx 11w • Author @future_portland I only went to one event hosted by you and left before it was over Reply chrisolsonpdx 11w • Author @future_portland if this wasn't a problem why not just say that instead of making excuses? Reply 1 future_portland 11w @chrisolsonpdx isn't that what we just said? Trust that the media has already looked into this and there's nothing to report, thanks for the concern. future_portland 11w @chrisolsonpdx it's the Future Portland email account. She mostly uses the info@ email, this director one was used by mistake by our volunteer, it's reserved for a future Executive Director. Both are part of our business account purchased through our website. Reply Hide chrisolsonpdx 11w • Author @future_portland I don't believe you Reply 1 future_portland 11w @chrisolsonpdx that's fine, but it's true, regardless. You should ask your source to see all the subsequent emails that went out after that one (and previous media advisories, like for our fundraiser) and what address they came from, it all occurred well before these accusations. The director email account is not really used right now. Thanks for all the attention, though, we're getting new members thanks to you!

Yes the @portlanddsa.bsky.social told the genocide supporting @nytimes.com to fuck all the way off 👍

I guess we’re “militant” because we want people housed and hate genocide.

From an article in the @theatlantic.com “Zohran Mamdani’s Lesson for the Left”
Militant groupings within DSA local chapters wield more power in cities such as San Francisco, Boston, Syracuse, and Portland, Oregon, than in New York. The Portland branch-four of whose members now sit on the city council-urges members to pursue a "rupture with the Democratic Party." And its co-chair, Olivia Katbi, recently boasted on X of telling a New York Times reporter to bug off because that newspaper published "disgusting, racist, dehumanizing propaganda" about Palestinians.

Every Portland “Centrist” ever
Zach Efron shrugging. "THE ENLIGHTENED CENTRIST" I'm not left or right I'm a secret third thing (right) You see it's all about striking a balance Between criticizing the left and defending the right I respect all political viewpoints It's just a coincidence I only happen to show support for the right wing ones I'm above all that partisan fighting Basically I found a way to feel superior to both sides without taking any principled positions Both sides are equally bad I think antifascism is the same as fascism and should be treated exactly the same, which says a lot about what I really believe if you think about it I STAND FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LMAO

A different account said they did the same thing you did. You need to get a life! Peace ✌️
Archie @archie503.bsky.social • 3h Exactly! They violate people's first amendment rights but get away with it on their "personal accounts" even if they use those accounts politically. I just said "sir" to the rodent and got called a transphobe bigot by Chris Olson

I love it when corporate Democrats “hint” at doing their jobs. Call a special session now @tinakotek.bsky.social

It’s really simple, @govtinakotek.bsky.social is the Andrew Cuomo of Oregon. #orpol
Kotek Doubles Down: County "Must Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time" While never mentioning a Senate bill that would have ended the Preschool for All tax this year, the governor made clear she intends to use that leverage to spur County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson to reform the program.
