Also, PPA contract negotiations are underway without the city having held a single community listening session.

Sounds like the City and PPA have agreed to ground rules for bargaining.

I must have missed the community input opportunities.

There are a ton of risks that come with being highly visible, especially in these times — and this is doubly true for people living in the margins. Anyone who tells you otherwise is clueless and actively endangering people with misinformation.

Portland ICE made a targeted arrest. A protester, who appeared to be standing across the street from the federal building, was taken to the ground and forcibly removed from the scene.

What a fucking embarrassment
On Saturday, I saw a bunch of labor leaders (& Councilor Mitch Green) telling ICE to get the fuck out of Portland.

When I got home, I saw a video of Tina Kotek basically telling Eugenians to calm down after days of escalating ICE violence in their community.

Will Stancil spent 5 minutes doing direct action and now thinks he is THE expert. He got his feelings hurt because people with more experience see him as a liability - because he won't protect others' identity.

He is now back to his "left is as bad as right" bs.

Ah, the humility of white men.
“Opsec” as understood on the movement left invariably means “taking efforts to remain anonymous and ensure no one can see what you’re saying and who you are.” But these efforts are illusory and completely corrosive to the goal of public resistance and open organizing.
Hi Will - apologies if you've addressed this in detail previously, but is your criticism of opsec primarily about protesters not wanting to be filmed, the use of certain tools giving them a false sense of security, or something else?

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Are you talking more like the Pearl or further out? I think every neighborhood needs to support its own commercial businesses. Downtown, for example, needs more residents (and more businesses for residents). We can’t depend on people leaving their neighborhoods to support others anymore

We have gotten so used to differentiating between “peaceful protests” and other protests that we have played right into the hands of the right and fascists, who have adopted the language of moderate Dems and blamed protesters for the violent behavior of armed police and feds

Oh yeah, did Northwest Oregon Labor Council let the police union join?
They chose ICE over unionized Portlanders yesterday.

We are at a crossroads. The Police Union can choose to stand with Portlanders, to stand against fascism, or they can continue to obstruct policies that would reign the feds in because they see a kinship with corrupt law enforcement and not with the good people of our city.

There is a choice here.
The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are:

Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4)

Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.
Please list the swing vote councillors specifically so people know who to contact. With everything going on in the country right now, it's hard to keep up with who is doing what, especially now that there are so many of you.
February 1, 2026 at 7:22 PM
If you don't know who the other people are or how to talk to them, it's bc they don't trust you.
And you bitching and whining about it in public shows they were right not to trust you.
Take the L, learn the lesson, and get back to work. That's how you earn trust and respect @whstancil.bsky.social
If the “leaders are anonymous” and there’s no one left to vouch for you then I’m sorry but you don’t have the resources to force the group to make a different call

That means giving up and doing something else (and not continuing to post about how unfair it is)

Just a reminder:
Portland has already been through the federal occupation and assault rodeo,
*but we've also already been through the "tearing the movement apart through in-fighting" rodeo.*

One we can't opt out of, but that doesn't mean we have to repeat the jabs at one another.

It’s worth noting that this march was during the day and was entirely peaceful. It’s also worth noting that by and large, the protests that endure police violence under the cover of night are also entirely peaceful.
Federal agents deployed tear gas and flash bangs at peaceful protesters during a “Labor Against ICE” march in Portland on Jan 31.
