Saddened to learn of the recent death of Portland advocate and 2024 mayoral candidate Michael O’Callaghan. "Mayor Mike" was a frequent, inspiring presence on the campaign trail and in the larger community. Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. youtu.be/DBuhIueni08

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

In addition to being morally atrocious and strategically disastrous, this is 100% illegal.

My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.

The amount of gas Portland is being subjected to is horrifying. You can say the protesters are in the vicinity by choice. But hundreds of people live just feet away from the ICE building. These apartment residents are getting gassed in their homes by their own federal govt. What is their recourse?

That was the most intense tear gas I've ever experienced

Entire 17 bus is packed to the gills with protest-goers. Feels like this might be a big one.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Brian was of course a great American composer, peerless harmony arranger, and sonic innovator. But he was also, especially in the 60s, a truly astonishing singer. One of the greatest men's voices in recorded music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoDm...

The music Sly and Brian each left us is boundless. Joy, sorrow, love, humor, comfort, inspiration.

"Homeless residents of Multnomah County now die at a higher rate than in any major West Coast county with available homeless mortality data: more than twice the rate of those in Los Angeles County [...] Seattle and Tacoma."

In my time filming last year's campaigns, I didn't see any movements turn out their members for canvassing as reliably as the DSA and Labor. Seems like no coincidence both are so well-represented on the current council.
