🌈 Queer Comes Trouble 🌈

We like to think that these signs made by our Art Department were critical in this effort to crush the President's stupid dreams

Join us this Saturday for DSA member Dr. Tammy Carpenter's campaign kickoff event! 2-3:30pm, 5550 SW Hall Blvd in Beaverton. Come out to send socialism to the statehouse! tammyfororegon.com

Like my colleagues on the Portland City Council, I'm supporting the Parks Levy in this November's election. Please join me in voting yes!

Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo humorously criticizes Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, leading to laughter from CNN's Boris Sanchez.

The Oregonian editorial board is a mouthpiece for Portland’s wealthiest and most powerful institutional and political actors.

Their goal since 2020 has been to weaponize and exaggerate deteriorating social conditions as a way to advance a right wing political project.

They are running from it now.

Come to our forum with Socialist Alternative, PSU Student Workers Union, and PSU Faculty Association to discuss what we can do to fight Trump!

@councilorkanal.bsky.social and @councilormorillo.bsky.social are clearly on another level here. Prepared, sharp and grounded. Connected to community and coming with real solutions. These 2 are the organizers in the room.

Help Starbucks workers from the community get reinstated!

A big welcome to the newest SBWU members! They join the over 12,000 already organized Starbucks baristas that make up our union! Congratulations on your wins🎉

Defend Preschool For All! - Portland DSA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 19 2025 Info@portlanddsa.org In an article published on June 18 by Willamette Week, Governor Tina Kotek is quoted as suggesting to Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pede...

The Governor says the tax base is fleeing the city because they don't like chipping in for kids to go to preschool- but the numbers tell a different story: the percentage of high incomes in Portland has been increasing steadily over the last decade. Read: portlanddsa.org/defend-presc...

PROTECT UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL!!!

Congratulations to the City of Portland Professional Workers (CPPW) for achieving their first contract (3 years after their formation & 18 months after they first came to the table in good faith)!

I am grateful I had the opportunity to cast the first vote in favor of Council ratification.

These are areas that police would deprioritize by their choice, & which community members value - incl. sexual and domestic violence and investigative OT.

Voted yes: Kanal, Koyama Lane, Morillo, Green, Avalos, Dunphy, Pirtle-Guiney

Voted no: Ryan, Novick, Clark, Zimmerman, Smith

2/2

City council always has some absurdity but the volume of discussion around trees and tree based violence is admittedly higher than I anticipated.

If the Oregonian is serious about helping working class families we have some thoughts 😅

RENT FREEZE
FREE EDUCATION
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
PARKS & COMMUNITY SPACE
EXPAND UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL
KICK ICE OUT OF PORTLAND AND CUT THE POLICE BUDGET TO PAY FOR THESE REAL SOLUTIONS

It is WILD to watch a supposedly public agency spread disinformation to get a whole community worked up and protect their own bottom line.

Prosper Portland is sitting on a $50m slush fund that they did not earn and want Portland to cut parks maintenance and permitting staff.

Wild.

Im with a crew that does a lot in the movement Vote for us to lead in the @portlanddsa.bsky.social delegate elections.

The world is on fire. What can we do about it? Join us at City Hall on Saturday March 15th to take back the power from the people who cause all of our problems: 👉THE RICH!👈

Natural Order and Finale both seem like much better targets than the others to be game changers. They are tutors that put the win con or solution directly on the battlefield. Natural Order also frequently cheats mana cost.

I have just submitted into E-Council a draft resolution co-sponsored with @councilormorillo.bsky.social that directs the Mayor to investigate violations of Zenith's franchise agreement, initiates council oversight of staff, and pauses open permits pending these investigations.

Healthcare workers are on strike against Providence. Stony a 6 year nurse at Prov says it's about respect. Prov needs to treat people right and retain people. Cameron a 1 year nurse at Prov says he's tired of management gaslighting about staffing issues.

I feel like the number is higher for content creators.

Emily a nurse for 25 years says staffing and retention really suffered around 2016 and a ton of long time nurses started leaving. Nurse Sue, with 44 years at prov says the pay is 25000 a year less than neighboring hospitals without taking into account provs subpar benefits.

Visited the providence picket line and heard Providence is giving nurses health insurance that's bad. How bad? Providence won't accept the insurance they provide their employees

Earlier today, several of our members joined in the Providence Nurses picket line. We stand with the nurses in their fight for a fair contract and will continue to fight for the liberation of the working-class.
