These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

Trump, Fascism, and What Artists Can Do There is tension between wanting art to transcend and wanting it to reflect reality back to us. Plus: Are Dems finally ready to retire the purity tests?

“The best art can do now is to activate in us the emotional and social muscles we’ve let atrophy in our public life: sympathy, humility, earnestness, horror. Guernica and the AIDS Memorial Quilts didn’t change minds but hearts.”

I’m introducing the Zenith Resolution with @councilormorillo.bsky.social @councilortiffany.bsky.social @councilordunphy.bsky.social. View the agenda and submit written testimony today: portland.gov/council/agenda.

💯 arts, music and our cultural institutions are an incredible asset for our economy and way of life 🩷

I know the world seems to be collapsing- but I’m actually heartened to see so many groups in Portland who are collaborating and working together for the betterment of our communities. I’m seeing this in the arts, in business and social groups. Makes me proud for our little Left Coast city.

Thank you @jeff-merkley.bsky.social for speaking up for us

It’s not like when people were having chicken pox parties in the 80’s to get it over with….. 🤦🏼‍♀️
And I’m super thankful my kids got their chicken pox vaccine so they don’t have to deal with it (hopefully…..)

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
