Please come through and show some support! It is needed more than ever as the rhetoric and tactics from the feds continue to escalate. Pull up after the No Kings march or instead of it, whatever works for you! Please share too!

YES ON CALIFORNIA PROP 50

Sen. Padilla's Prop 50 ad is very effective. They used the footage of him being shoved to the ground and cuffed. I swear, my blood pressure goes through the roof each time I see it.

Thank you, @padilla.senate.gov, for this ad. #Yeson50

It’s been two years since Hermiston officials revealed Eastern Oregon’s largest city had “forever chemicals” in its water supply. It may be years more before Hermiston residents get more information about the discovery.

After finding forever chemicals in its drinking water, this Eastern Oregon city stopped testing for them

PFAS turning up in Oregon cities remain unregulated by federal clean water laws.

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Look at what the president is doing: Attacking the judiciary. Attacking free press. Using fear to intimidate. Trying to normalize the U.S. military in our streets.

This is not normal. This is not American. These are attacks on the very pillars of our democracy.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

ICE ripped apart my rosary (literally tore the crucifix off of it and tore it into pieces) and fucked up my shoulder and back. they drug me inhumanely down a fucking driveway instead of give me one goddamn attempt at standing up.

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Would love to see some City or County people comment on the Feds outside of the Portland ICE Building threatening to shoot an ambulance driver and kidnapping a brass band player.

Is that finally reason to start taking action? Pritzker is starting to contemplate arresting them. Get on the same boat!

The fascist robes are taking the extraordinary step of rehearing Louisiana v. Callais, which would cement one-party rule for at least another generation.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

I love that the same thing that made people shy away from Portland (arguably the 2020 protests) is the same thing bringing their love back. This town is going to keep showing up for people, using a diversity of tactics, regardless of what non-PDXers think. That’s what integrity looks like.
