“War Ravaged” Portland Jobs with Justice @jwjpdx.bsky.social · 3d

Ann Cudd | President, PSU

Here's what people had to say about Ann:

"Ann Cudd threatened student safety on campus by calling in the Portland Police Bureau who brutalized student protesters. She also prioritizes real estate deals rather than affordable education at an access-institution."

Scrooge of the Year, Ann Cudd, President of Portland State University

Far from their caricature as coup plotters who hated elections and democracy, the Bolsheviks used electoralism frequently, but towards revolutionary ends. Michael L explores what their work in the 4th Duma looked like and what we can learn from it today.

The stats are in for quarter 3 lobbying at the City of Portland and…

*drumroll*

🏆 The Portland Business Alliance, once again, has lobbied more than any other the entity by a huge margin!🥇

We can’t afford to buy influence in local media, so we’ll let you know here.

The PBA wants you to think we — a grassroots membership org — have an outsized influence over local politics, but every statistical indicator says the opposite:

the Portland Business Alliance and their wealthy corporate members continue spend more money on politics than anyone else by a long shot!

Never trust a CEO. Just because bourgeois progressives are better than alternative options does not make them friends of the working-class.

Just to be clear, socialism is *not* when the Republican Party and their corrupt billionaire president cut your food stamps to punish you for being poor while they enrich themselves and their buddies.

That’s actually happening right now in the center of global capitalism.

Great messaging from the OR GOP that will totally resonate with people who will be going hungry. No notes.

DSA supports the mass mobilizations against Donald Trump. As socialists we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system. Join DSA to help build the movement for a better world.

“The most important part of this was the working class moving as an organized bloc rather than individuals voicing their opposition into the wind… If this type of movement is to be built in the United States today, we could defeat the Trump administration before the next election.” #FightOligarchy

Since being elected, Trump has taken authoritarian actions at a scale which the U.S. has not seen in a long time, culminating in a recent series of federal military occupations. R&R member Diego examines their nature and what we must do to fight back.

It’s incredibly important to note that last week, these same political and business leaders were perpetuating those outdated narratives.

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · Sep 28

Oregon political and business leaders urged President Trump to stop “perpetuating outdated narratives” about Portland and not deploy federal troops there. Trump said the city is “war ravaged.”

It’s Trump vs. Portland Again in Clash Over Federal Troops

Some Oregon business and political leaders say the president is ‘perpetuating outdated narratives,’ about the city while federal authorities call for protection at a local ICE facility.

In both of these instances, regular working-class people would get organized, would push the regime to its limits, and shatter the strength it imagined it once had. A mass struggle based in the working-class with clear demands like these could bring Trump down before the next election. (8/12)

Diego @diegoforsocialism.bsky.social · Sep 28

I think that while focusing on the fact that Portland doesn’t need a national guard is good for disarming propaganda, it should also be said that Trump doesn’t care. He’s sending in troops because Portland was one of the most resistant cities in 2020, and he wants to crush his opposition.
