Melissa Bird for Congress
@bird4congress.bsky.social
Dr. Melissa Bird is a fighter, a mother, a small business owner, and a proud descendant of the Shivwits Band of Paiutes and she’s running for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District to dig up what’s broken and build something bold in its place.
Call me old fashioned but when did it become ok for the President of the United States to threaten to hang members of Congress?

This Veterans Day I reflect on what I learned from my grandpa who fought in WWII and my husband who served in Kosovo & Iraq. They have taught me the power of service, responsibility to our democracy, and valor beyond measure. Our veterans deserve so much more from the VA and from our government.

Sen Dems are about to cave to Repubs. They want to vote on a deal to reopen the government with a mere PROMISE to work on health care. A promise? REALLY? Ummm…I don’t think we should be trusting a PROMISE. This will erode all trust between House & Senate. www.axios.com/2025/11/09/s...

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. I went and saw the film Free Leonard Peltier. I just can’t stop thinking about my dad. Chief Seattle once said. “Our dead people are not completely helpless.” This government has consistently been separating us from our spirits. And they will not prevail.

Militarized immigration isn’t a new problem. This nation was founded on the disappearance of brown people.

No one is illegal on stolen land. As Congresswoman, I will work to end militarization of the border. Policies should be about a fair path to citizenship. Dehumanization is unacceptable.

Donald Trump is once again rolling out his authoritarian agenda, this time in Washington, D.C. where the rampant crime he’s going after just doesn’t exist.

Solidarity to the demonstrators in Washington D.C. As Congresswoman, I will fully support and protect Home Rule for D.C.
