Oregon’s governor made a deal with Nvidia to get AI education in Oregon schools. What does it mean? • Oregon Capital Chronicle

What to know about this obscene display of wealth and poor taste? It was made possible on the backs of my students and thousands of workers like them. And I have to beg rich fucks like him for funding to run my small, community ESL program that gets these students job ready. FOR HIM

I love Bernard, but I don't love this. Independent voters are looking for whoever is offering them the best deal at the time. There's no coherent strategy, no common values, and no solidarity. I'd much rather see us building a strong and principled Labor party to fight for the working class.
Bernie Sanders Has an Idea for the Left: Don’t Run as Democrats
The Vermont senator, who has long had a tense relationship with the Democratic Party, suggested in an interview that more progressives should join him in running as independents.

Slightly baffled by the absolute
disdain with which some (non MAGA) types are treating today’s boycott. This moment is an opportunity. Why waste it because you were here first? Why the insistence that anything short of revolution by Monday is failure? What happened to Always Be Organizing?

Listening to this audiobook right now and it’s a horrifying eye opener about the misogyny, abuse, and violence baked into the so called Christian communities who are increasingly controlling this country. Not an easy read, but a very important one. Highly recommended.

Just thinking about how Multnomah County Library lets us print up to 100 (black and white) copies a day. Hmm.....
In the piece below, I talk a lot about mass messaging (posters, stickers, etc.) to keep the focus not just on enmity towards Trump and Musk but the impact of their actions. In case it's helpful, I put together some examples! Not perfect, but they get the job done (feel free to steal/share)

Canceling subscriptions and services due to the likelihood of economic meltdown or unwillingness to support authoritarianism? I know I am.
Make sure you let these companies know why you are canceling and who’s to blame.

Well isn't this just 27 layers of bullshit??
Looks like Adams is willing to break the law and endanger both migrants and city workers in exchange for a little help from Trump with his federal corruption indictment. These people are all so vile.
