Portlanders will not be cowed by this administration. When undignitaries like Kristi Noem visit for their photo ops and get mocked by people in animal costumes it’s because that’s the level of respect they deserve. Doing the work of mass deportation is the least honorable thing a person can do.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Sickened to hear Trustee Muñoz’s reports from inside the Broadview ICE facility. Detainees are held in unsanitary, overcrowded cells with poor ventilation and limited access to restrooms.

Meanwhile, Sec. Noem was shooting a promotional video. She treats people like props — it’s disgusting.

"What kind of a country are we living in where the President of the United States is targeting his political opponents?"

I'll drive any national journalist around Portland for a day and night, plus parking @ $16, Asian fusion food cart @ $21, 2 craft brews @$14 on a converted double decker bus in the Pearl District, a gourmet hot dog @$15... and we can dance in front of the ICE facility at night. Deal?

Latinas work hard, contribute immensely, and yet still face a wage gap of 54¢ to every $1 a white man makes. On #LatinaEqualPayDay, I stand firm in the fight in advancing policies for equal pay.

On Latina Equal Pay Day, we’re reminded that pay inequity fuels the wealth gap. The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social is committed to advancing policies that ensure Latinas earn what they deserve and build the wealth they’ve long been denied.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.
