350 PDX has been the heart of the climate movement for the last 10 years. These folks are the connective tissue that bind so many pieces of our movement together into a working whole. They recruit, educate, & mobilize like no other organization in this town. Give generously. We need them.

This is such a clumsy last second budget pressure move. WWeek happy to accommodate. I dare them to put this on the ballot when the stakes are cutting a bunch of other public services. We already saw how Portlanders respond when you compare possible cuts: they say cut the police budget first.

This is a struggle over who has control over public money in this city & it’s pretty astounding to see a supposedly public agency run a public relations campaign (full of omissions & misinformation) against the city council to protect its loan fund from from going from ~$50 million to ~$40 million.

zionism is fascism just like nazism is. it’s an ethno-religious supremacist ideology that requires the extermination of the indigenous population. israel supporters crying antisemitism sound like isis defenders claiming islamaphobia. the conflation of zionism=judaism is repulsive

I am in El Salvador because I will not stand by while our country is thrown into a constitutional crisis. This is a moment to act. I will not rest until due process is upheld for all.

Imagine all the programs we could fund if we sold off all of PPB's military hardware- although we'd be better off melting it down for scrap.

The US used to be a leader in Railroad technologies, especially railroad electrification. What happened? I'm starting a mini series about the history of Railroad electrification in North America starting with this video: youtu.be/Nym3sQhkhww?...

Surprised that there's been scant commentary on the fact that there's no way the current customs and collection workforce can possibly understand and implement these tariffs in 5 days without causing an enormous backlog at the ports. Hope you liked supply shortages

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

If you're a journalist in the US and you're not speaking out against the ongoing killing of Palestinian journalists, at record levels, by a US-funded foreign military, then you should hang your head in shame.

Every day I'm finding it harder to believe there is any future but darkness. I see a science headline or something about a planned NASA mission and I can't help but feel nothing but despair. Things up to this point have been bad for a lot of folks for a long time but it's going to be so much worse

unpopular stance: ACAB includes Scully but not Mulder, because there's absolutely no way Fox Mulder understands what the law really is or that his job is to enforce it. he has less capacity for moral cognition than a K9 unit.

To our community and labor movement partners: CWA 7901 is an affiliate of the NW Oregon Labor Council (NOLC), but we do not support the letter NOLC sent (linked below) in opposition to @councilorkanal.bsky.social's resolution clarifying "bias" for purposes of the Community Police Oversight Board.
