A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
We are at a crossroads. The Police Union can choose to stand with Portlanders, to stand against fascism, or they can continue to obstruct policies that would reign the feds in because they see a kinship with corrupt law enforcement and not with the good people of our city.
There is a choice here.
The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are:
Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4)
Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

May I present this spoon! My amazing MIL found this perfect spoon for the moment. It's about as old as the east wing was, the original UO mascot! #frogs#portland#portlandfrog#spooncouncil#resist
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
It’s been 100 days since Trump started disappearing people into El Salvador’s mega-prison, CECOT, without due process.
Let me be clear: this isn’t immigration policy—it is a human rights atrocity. We cannot lose sight of this grotesque violation of constitutional and human rights.
100 days ago this week, the Trump admin began disappearing immigrants to El Salvador’s mega-prison, CECOT. Over 280 people remain detained today.
We've compiled everything we know so far about the disappearances, including personal stories from those impacted.

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents
Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?
J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?
We’ve held multiple budget town halls in District 3. While we have a variety of opinions in D3, the rooms erupted into cheers when I brought up using the ADDITIONAL funding given to police to save Parks.
Police have 91 fully funded positions that have sat vacant for 5 years. They have the $ to hire
Attorney Rachel Cohen (who quit Skadden rather than collaborate with fascism), has a genius plan to make lawyers who sold out the American People face serious backlash. Bit.ly/baddecisionmakers
Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back!
This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.
In the Curious Case of Paramount and Find Out stock prices will fly backward. Spinning hurricanes of plummeting profits will reinforce this theme. These boycotts highlight our cultural exploration of time and the fate of paramount. Any Cate would blanch at your choices.
In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the title character ages in reverse. Hummingbirds, which fly backward, and counterclockwise-spinning hurricanes reinforce this theme. These motifs highlight the film’s exploration of time and fate.
A 2-year-old citizen was deported. A judge was detained. People are disappearing.
The emergency is now.
As a critical care physician, I’m trained to act—and I will. I’ll use everything I've got to defend our constitutional rights. That’s what leadership looks like.
Bukele says he doesn't have the authority to return Abrego Garcia. Tr*mp says he doesn't have the authority to retrieve him. Our tax $$ are paying to keep an innocent man in a torture prison.They plan to disappear American citizens there next. This is America's Auschwitz. This is a red alert.
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the Trump administration’s defiance of an explicit court order, deporting Venezuelans to a concentration camp in a third country, El Salvador—which also happens to violate a lot of really good international laws.
Here's the list of who needs to be primaried. They betrayed the American people. They are complicit in handing the power of Congress + a giant slush fund over to an unelected ketamine addict. That have betrayed the working class and thrown away the only leverage Dems had in Congress. For what?
The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails.
Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.
The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.
The first victims of Trump’s trade war? Minnesotans struggling to pay their skyrocketing electric bill.
Minnesota cannot afford Trump’s billionaire-run economy. We have to put a stop to this madness.

If you want to get a better measure of how many people in the US military or formerly in it will actually oppose Trump, get working on recruiting them to join this protest. #3E
Don't just guess, organize, and find out.
Call to action: Veterans March in DC on March 14. If you know a vet or active service member talk to them about the danger of the Trump regime and encourage them to participate.

Our allies are right. They can no
longer share info with us. Trump, Vance & flunkies would share with Putin. Our allies can no longer rely on America. That is where we are. And it is tragic
I so appreciate @maxinefororegon.bsky.social with @maddow.msnbc.com talking about how the big town hall in her district moved her and convinced her to take stronger action in DC, walking out of the speech last night. Show up! Your reps are listening.
Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercomex.com/repalgreen/s...
I created a Contact List for all the Democrats who voted to censure Al Green for his courageous action during Trump's recent address to Congress. Please call and let them know their cowardice and complicity is shameful.

Here’s something important to know about all of the Republicans who are clapping as Trump attacks Social Security: All of them will be returning to their states and districts next week for congressional recess.
