The CEI Hub, a six mile stretch of fuel storage tanks between the Willamette River and Forest Park stores 90% of Oregon's liquid fuels.
Everyone who works in or near this geography is at risk of the impacts of a world-historic industrial disaster.
We, as workers, can prevent this future.

Today, BPS staff released their code proposal for making the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub safer.
On first glance, it's pretty good. We didn't get everything we asked for, but the major pieces are present including a prohibition on all new liquid fuel terminals + a mandatory fuel drawdown.

Without serious grassroots movement pressure in Portland & (half) of our city council demanding action, I don’t think we’d see Rep. Maxine Dexter as a co-sponsor of this resolution.

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.
It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

🛢️ Zenith Energy update 🧵 🛢️
Last week, Oregon DEQ approved Zenith's air permit. DEQ officials argued publicly that the permit represents an improvement in air quality because of supposed concessions.
Instead, adding risk to an already highly risky situation is a betrayal of the public interest.

A couple of years ago, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature passed a domestic terrorism law over of the objection of civil liberties advocates, environmentalists, and ordinarily reasonable Oregonians who told them this would only be used against the left.
It fits right in with Trump’s strategy.

This is why we collectively needed to reject the terrorism framework long ago. There is no equivalent to the counter-terror framework in eroding rights and legal norms.
