City Council Meetings are where final decisions are made, but Policy Committees decide what comes before the Council. Attending these meetings and testifying is a great way to focus in on things you’re passionate about, and to inform your Councilors about what you want for Portland

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Republicans are trying to repurpose our government to serve the billionaires.

My friend Jeff has been on the Senate Floor all night reminding Republicans: this government is for the people NOT the billionaires.
This is really what it comes down to.

I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government.

As I watched a gray Volvo excavator tear down part of the historic White House East Wing on Monday afternoon, I thought about how perfectly that act of needless, wasteful, self-aggrandizing destruction summed up Trump’s first 10 months in office.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts.

Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."
In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up
Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different.

Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other.

There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.
