The fact that Sarah Jeong was Mitch Green’s DM…I must know more!! @drmitchpdx.bsky.social, what’L was your character? What was the adventure? How can *I* play D&D with such rock stars??
Great story, with possibly the greatest author's disclosure of all time:
"Disclosure: Prior to his election, the author was Councilor Green’s DM in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign."

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

we can cut programs like this. or we could tax the rich and solve our problems at their roots. i prefer the latter, but we’ll need a legislative body that has a spine.
When formerly incarcerated people are able to obtain work, it tends to be a low-paying position, keeping them well below the poverty line. “The No. 1 contributor to recidivism is poverty,” says a spokesperson for the Prison Policy Initiative.
Budget Cuts Threaten Oregon Program for Helping People Get Jobs After Prison
The state had recently expanded the novel program for providing one-on-one career coaching, job fairs behind bars, and support for people after release.

Congressional Democrats need to understand that "Abolish ICE" is not a slogan, "not another penny" is literal, & anyone who votes for a 2-week $ extension, so you MIGHT get ICE wearing instead of holding the camera as they film themselves killing people, is getting played. (And maybe primaried.)

Organizing creates the conditions under which electeds make decisions. The DA is elected.
Do NOT leave more problematic/conservative electeds out of your organizing plan because they seem unmoveable.
You will end up expecting perfection of your friends and nothing of them, that hurts the cause.

It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland
Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

Recent Events Could Shift the Debate Over Who Should Run City Council
The result is that when the council resumes deliberations this week, Peacock will have a much stronger case that it can mount an uncompromised response to the right-wing agenda Portlanders most fear.

the real doom loop is service cuts to our transit system. if you cut frequency on an already infrequent system, it’s going to hurt ridership, which will lead to more cuts and fare hikes, which further hurt ridership. all of that of course adds future liabilities to the rest of the transport system

Waking up to the news that the US has bombed Venezuela, kidnapped its president, and will now seek to decide its fate (i.e. “liberate” its natural resources). We don’t have money for basic infrastructure in our local communities, but we can always start new wars? Absolutely sickening.
