The Portland DSA voter guide is out! portlanddsa.org/our-voter-gu...

Last night, this PAC reported a $90k contribution from United for Portland Action Fund. Their first transaction was reported 9/25, while the PAC itself filed for formation on 9/28 (all info on ORESTAR) More trouble for Jon Isaacs and his wealthy handlers!

Another PAC to back "moderates" on Portland City Council. A PAC is just a folder on someone's desktop and a bank account. It doesn't represent people, just money. The business lobbyists who were used to owning city council are desperate to go back to that. We can't let them.

Watching @councilorgreen.bsky.social speak on the Fair Share Tax Ordinance. Impossible to overstate the value of having someone on council who understands economic issues and uses that understanding to advocate for the people rather than owners of capital.

Nothing will be lost when we dump this fool

At its core, our proposal is a tax on inequality, which is a scourge to us all - rich and poor. Inequality in income and wealth is a drag on our economy. We can and should tax the very corporations that cause it and use those proceeds to level the playing field and fund our services.

Drazan, i know you’re reading this, so i want you to know you’re a disgrace and should drop out of the race immediately. you have no honor and every Portlander thinks you’re a hateful MAGA transphobe who should slink away from public life forever.

if i win reelection for a city council race after a gubernatorial candidate with a national MAGA profile attacks me then i should automatically become the next governor. help me test this theory

Portland DSA stands in solidarity with DSA chapters across Texas in demanding justice for Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, including immediate release and a full, independent, and local investigation redfault.com/texas-dsa-st...

The Metro Chamber is targeting me because my office has successfully defended their attacks related to Preschool for All, Portland Street Response, Moda, Zenith, Harborton, Clean and Safe, and more. They’re scared, I’m not, and the people are onto them. Their dirty tricks won’t work anymore.

Join the movement. Pitch in for Mitch and help the campaign meet its goal this week! secure.actblue.com/donate/m4pdx

it's a great week to support mitch green's re-election campaign. if you haven't already donated this month, join me in doing it today? we need this guy!

The Portland Metro Chamber is the source of many of the city’s problems. If they don’t oppose you, you aren’t going hard enough

Portland deserves better than this term sheet. Tell city council not to sell out Portland to a billionaire actionnetwork.org/letters/port...

The business lobby and the elected officials in their pocket have been fighting universal preschool since day 1. Multnomah County voted for Preschool for All. We need to fund it as promised. actionnetwork.org/letters/full...

The last time Preschool for All was under attack commissioners ended up crying on the dais bc the community response was so strong. And yet it continues to be undermined. Not to be a B but stop fucking around with this program so you can stop crying!! Let them know: actionnetwork.org/letters/full...

Portland residents, @portlanddsa.bsky.social learned that a local company called Sightline Intelligence is shipping lethal drone tech to Israel. Take 2 mins to click & ask electeds to look into Sightline, which uses PDX area footage in its chilling promo materials: actionnetwork.org/letters/sigh...

Not doing just a bit here: my office will be moving forward with some oversight on this. Here’s why: fundamentally, we changed our form of government to move away from backroom dealing on matters of public interest. Using code names for recurring meetings like this runs counter to transparency.

when we go to 2-k in multnomah, we're doing it by first raising the wages. just like we did with preschool. no program should be built by exploiting the workforce, ever, and voters agree with this!

Ppl who don’t want local politicians to talk about international politics crack me up because U.S. imperialism means we’ll ALWAYS be taking in refugees. You can’t destabilize someone’s homeland, then be surprised when they have to come to the core of global power to be safe. An abusive relationship

Fat cats and big wigs are so mad about Preschool for All. They scream into their pillows and cry themselves to sleep every night because we passed a good policy for once. We cannot let them destroy it

Did anyone else get a truly ridiculous push-poll testing anti-Preschool For All messaging? 🎩💰 Let's take a look at what our opposition is cooking! 👀 First up: means-testing. A classic method to minimize public support for programs to then under-fund them more easily!

Q: “So, hundreds of millions of dollars in grants were terminated from the NEH. The deficit didn’t change much. And you were paid $150,000 to do that job of reducing the deficit. Do you feel like the $150,000 paid to you was wasteful spending?” A: *Laughs, frowns….long pause*

Great reporting and a good opportunity to reup for the public that my office has produced a series of reports, documents and letters that makes the economic case for why it's such a crucial program, while debunking claims or intimations that the tax was driving people out of the county.

It is very hard to stop lying about the rich moving away because of a tiny tax when your job depends on people believing that bs

"The governor said on Tuesday afternoon that it was too early to determine if a universal preschool program at the state level would be means-tested" @tinakotek.bsky.social "universal" means "free" FYI

Hey Portland! The richest few people in the state (some of them don't even go here) are still itching to evade taxation by destroying Preschool for All. Our electeds KNOW that P4A is good public policy, but politicians still need reminders to be brave. Sign here!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/fu...

✨Story Time!✨ Families are already moving to Multnomah County because of Preschool For All. They see how the program which is helping them set down roots now, will also help put them in a position to pay into it to help future families, creating a virtuous cycle and a healthy, thriving community.💛

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Reminder: the GOP DIDN'T HAVE the votes to fund DHS yesterday. The only reason they got the funding was because these seven Democrats handed it to them on a silver platter.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

“I also believe in the power of a people’s movement to effectively push back against authoritarian power, and I believe it’s important to put that belief into action. That is where I choose to put my energy when fascism is at our doorstep.” - @councilormorillo.bsky.social

These people need to be opposed unequivocally. The era of these PBA-aligned “power players” is over

Congratulations to our endorsees: Mitch Green, Angelita Morillo and Tiffany Koyama-Lane for City Council, and Farrah Chaichi for the Oregon Statehouse!

👏👏👏

ICE out of our cities!

Waking up to the news that the US has bombed Venezuela, kidnapped its president, and will now seek to decide its fate (i.e. “liberate” its natural resources). We don’t have money for basic infrastructure in our local communities, but we can always start new wars? Absolutely sickening.

vayanse al carajo yanquis de mierda
