This administration, motivated by blatant racism, is using every tool at its disposal to turn people into fodder for its for-profit deportation system. The cruelty must be stopped.

This is what Democracy looks like.

Working Families Party 🐺@workingfamilies.org

@bradlander.bsky.social has won his primary election in his race for Congress in New York. Brad Lander has spent his career standing up to powerful corporate interests, fighting for working families, and advancing policies that make New York more affordable and equitable.

Happy #Juneteenth! On this day we celebrate freedom and our commitment to the fight against racism. Our struggles were born from the same roots. Our struggles are one. Su lucha es mi lucha. Together we are more powerful.

Dear Candidates, Steal this idea.

We have an incredible problem: too many donations for our mutual aid hub and not enough shelves! We’ve outgrown our current setup, and we need to adapt to keep up with need, especially as we help candidates across the country adopt this model.

Portland General Electric has proposed hiking rates for data centers, while lowering rates and flattening future cost increases for residential and small business customers. Impressive! Good work PGE! portlandgeneral.com/news/2026-05... #BrightGreen #Fairness #Oregon #PGE

Kate Cohen has this exactly right. As of today, Bright Green is adopting “Treat lies like obscenities” as an official pillar of our public reporting standard. News should deliver true information. Bright Green will not cater to liars. #BrightGreen

Love this! www.notus.org/perspectives... (The suggestions from the 15 other WaPo veterans fall well short of the moment.)

We need public hearings with specific examples, and to hold abusers accountable. #BrightGreen #Project2029

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov

The NSA and FBI have been spying on you without a warrant using section 702 of FISA for decades. Trump wants Congress to renew the law. Here are concrete examples of how this law has been abused – across administrations – and why Congress shouldn't rubber-stamp it.

The Washington Post has become darkness.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

The Iranian government reports 3,117 deaths associated with the recent protests and resulting crackdown. Human rights groups that document individual cases have a range of estimates, ranging from slightly above the official Iranian figure to as high as about 6,000.

For reasons that exceed the Bluesky character limit, we will be there with bells on. March 28, 2026 #NoKings

We the People reject Trump’s brutality at home and abroad. Let’s show up on March 28 to say in one voice: No wars of aggression. No terrorizing our communities or yours. No tyrants, no conquests, no kings. Find your local No Kings Day event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Nothing in this 4-sentence “full statement“ explains not taking a position (i.e. voting ‘present’). If it is bogus as you suggest, why not vote “no”?

Senator Merkley provides necessary clarity on the dangers of ”pocket rescissions”, where the President can cancel congressionally approved spending. He asks the right questions, how will his colleagues respond? #Senate

Senate Budget Committee@senatebudget.bsky.social

Ranking Member @merkley.senate.gov is right—Trump’s authoritarian “Pocket Rescissions” defy the constitution and hurt our communities.

"A very, very bad vote." And right when the Democrats were riding so high after the election. This is political malpractice. My first question for any Democrat running for Senate will be if they support feckless Chuck Schumer as leader. #Senate

Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.gov

Tonight was a very bad night.

8.1 million people worldwide attended No Kings protests, with over 7 million Americans. Largest single day of protest in American History. brightgreen.org/issues/no-ki... #NoKings #America

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

As we wait to hear from Judge Immergut, it is enlightening to see how even Portland's Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate is framing the administration's use of SNAP benefits as a political bargaining chip.

🥗 Laughing Planet is doing something worth noticing, offering free adult and kids meals to anyone affected by the SNAP outage, no questions asked, just trust. 💚 Community care doesn’t need headlines, just people showing up like this for their neighbors. #Portland #SNAP #CommunityCare

Quiet Sunday morning, still foggy in the South Waterfront part of Portland. It seems there may be federal troops used in Portland without consent of the Oregon Governor. It is still unconstitutional, but the judicial order blocking the administration expires today. Time to see it for myself.

I've heard from people that knew @fetterman.senate.gov before he went to DC, and by all accounts he was a unique and beloved leader, with the best intentions. However, these intentions were inadequate defense against a wicked political movement that would corrupt a mentally unwell man. #Corruption

AI has become a powerful tool, and we support the right to use it in ways that preserve fairness. We also have the natural right to NOT USE AI, and we support a federal mandate to protect all Americans from artificially generated materials. #Fairness #Preservation #NaturalRights #AI

NPR@npr.org

Some states are passing new laws requiring artificial intelligence to be clearly labeled, especially in regulated industries or on high-stakes documents such as police reports. The labels are crucial for people who'd rather not use AI at all. n.pr/3JAjrzh

PDX says No to Noem! Flagrant Hatch Act violations might play in some airports, but not at the Port of Portland. #OregonIsHome #PDX #BrightGreen

A video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristine Noem blames congressional Democrats for travel delays during the federal government shutdown is expected to play at airport security checkpoints across the country — but not at PDX. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
