City hall clearly views our unhoused neighbors as data points only, not individual human beings with nuanced circumstances.

It really bothers me when people give security advice like this and don’t say what it’s FOR to help people figure out their own risk tolerance. Your phone creates a record of your location. Tech folks have told me it can even when it’s off. That can be really important evidence against you

No kings, no presidents, no politicians, no cops, no bosses, no CEOs, depose them all.

Remember S.A.L.U.T.E.!
Spreading misinformation can be harmful to those around you and cause unnecessary panic. Before spreading something you hear, ask yourself does it meet the criteria below:

Here’s my gripe: you’re once again raising money for vanity bullshit projects to Keep Portland Weird. How about we keep Portland safe? And I mean all of Portland. Take a page from Chicago, where cyclists have created a mutual aid fund to buy out street vendors blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/17/c...

Some people, in the same breath: "Portland is under a budget crisis and we need to be thinking about what services we can cut and what we can afford to lose. We need to spend more money on cops."

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Also, never β€œsign up, register, or RSVP” for a protest. You never know who that information will be shared with or obtained by.

Screenshot of a post by "From a Comrade" that reads: "The reason the right thinks that antifascists are funded by some powerful source, is that they themselves don’t know how to do grassroots organizing without a rich backer and can’t fathom people risking arrest or harm for something they believe in without being paid. The idea that many thousands of people would keep a movement alive with their own time and money because they believe in something like β€œnot having fascism come back” is foreign to them."

Noteworthy: the then-chief of the Portland Police Bureau, Jami Reschβ€”who authorized officers to obscure their name badges and personnel numbers in exchange for arbitrary numbers shortly before resigning less than six months into the positionβ€”is NOW the chief of the Springfield Police Department.

β€œbut Lore! where will we get the funding for all of these (much needed) social services?!lβ€œ

give up the illusion of safety and start giving a shit about your unhoused neighbors.

I believe the video highlights a pervasive cultural bias that favors drivers and is skeptical of bicycle riders, and it shows how that bias plays out in some police-cyclist interactions.

What we don't talk about enough is the dignity harm suffered by women who have to share the public sphere with guys who go around talking about our bodies like we're a public resource whose use and distribution they're qualified to determine.

Contact our Civil Rights Project Director, Juan Chavez, if you were assaulted by federal agents outside of the ICE Building in Portland this weekend.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

Resisting ICE isn’t giving them an excuse to be violent. They were already doing it. It’s why people are resisting.

Resistance *does* give libs a lazy excuse to deflect blame and demonize protesters, because they think as long as we’re obedient, the bad guys won’t hurt them. It’s pure cowardice.
