I went to sleep. @senjeffmerkley did not! Speaking now more than 12 hours to ring the alarm on the rise of the malignant narcissist’s authoritarianism. Power of Merkley: high level of emotional intelligence that connects with lots of folks including rural voters. Tune in at C-SPAN.

This was the labor feeder march coming across the steel bridge in Portland (sorry I was doing my duty as a Marshal so didn’t post that back then). Thousands just in our piece.

While the war rages outside in the streets of Portland and food supply lines are cut, I was able to leave the front lines to cook up Burst Cherry Tomato Orzotto, a poor substitute for local vending machines which have been emptied out as people hoard.

Really, for the sake of everyone out there who is concerned about the devastation, the danger, the utter chaos in this war-torn city, I ventured out, at great personal risk, to send these images to folks, so you know what to expect in #PDX

I'm a pretty informal guy especially when it comes to dress but, just spitballing...maybe, on the job, ICE’s deputy field director in NYC could look less like some gigolo on South Beach? Though on brand in terms of low-floating human detritus doing a sleazy job.

Why You Might Want To Read This:we mistake hero worship of a Pied Piper and the thrill of rallies and protests, on the one hand, for long-term, permanent organizing, on the other hand. All of the elements are important in gaining power BUT require different skills.

Catching up… back on the picket line on Friday for the awesome striking ONA nurses, organized by comrade Sarah Kowaleski of the stout PDX Jobs with Justice. City Council member Angelita Morillo stood strong—One day longer!
