Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

Peaceful protestors in their 80s are not a threat to our community’s safety; the Trump administration’s aggressive tactics are the real danger.

I've now been allowed and asked to share more details about what's going down at the University of Oregon, which involves imminent announcement of firings, among others, of tenure-track and tenured faculty. Given the units impacted (see below), please share this with your professional networks in related disciplines and start getting ready to put pressure (or begin putting pressure already) on the University of Oregon upper admin to abandon this alleged plan before they finalize it. It appears that, with no prior consultations, the departments of Religion and Classics (two separate units), and the programs in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, German & Scandinavian, Judaic Studies, Arabic Studies, and Holocaust Studies (the latter five all parts of a previously-consolidated mega unit called the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages) are facing imminent announcement of elimination (expected the week of Sept 7), with layoffs of pre-tenure, tenured, and career faculty in these units. The reason given is "financial exigency" -- upper administrations of several universities across the country (and in blue states like Oregon also) appear to be giddy to use the context of Trump attacks on higher ed to dismantle the humanities. Faculty at OU won a faculty union not long ago; this may be, in part, a retaliation for that, I've been told. The union is working with AAUP, etc.; my understanding is that the maximum spotlight is needed at this point.

A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.

Here’s what’s actually in the budget bill just passed in the Senate. It still has to pass the House. Call your Representative and tell them to vote NO.

Thank you Sen Merkley for sharing this!! Keep shining a light on what the Republicans are doing to Americans!

Thank you for shining a light on the big ugly bill @wyden.senate.gov

“When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you- pull your beard, flick your face-make you fight. Because once they got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how handle is non-violence and humor.” John Lennon

We need to protest. No doubt. And I understand the anger flowing through our community but violence won’t move the agenda forward. It only serves to make tyranny justifiable in the eyes of our opposition.
Stay safe . Keep it peaceful.
Let’s go! 👊🏽

THIS is America: "Tasted a little tear gas. Tasted like fascism."

#FreedomToDissent

Trump's immigration agenda is a toxic cocktail of cruelty and corruption, poisoning our communities and fueling the fires of division.

We're having our own rally in downtown Beaverton, but if you can't make it, by all means, attend Indivisible Hillsboro's event!

The more the merrier, the more the effective!

Under Trump’s immigration agenda, people are being forcibly detained, deported, and even disappeared.

There are multiple events in the Portland area including Portland, Beaverton, and Hillsboro. Let’s plan to show up and be visible at one of these peaceful protests! ❌👑

@repbonamici.bsky.social Thank you for always standing strong in support of Oregonians and the American people!!

What happens when you're a member of Congress trying to hold Trump accountable?

You get charged with made-up crimes! Rep. McIver is the latest target of Trump's authoritarian behavior.

Republicans aren't just going after Medicaid... They are also slashing funding for critical programs like Meals on Wheels, WIC, and free and reduced-cost school meals.

WARNING: DO NOT GO TO DC FOR THE TURMP MARCH. DO NOT DISRUPT THE SOLDIERS. THE ALLIANCE HAS AGREED. WE WILL MRCH EVERYWHERE ELSE & TURN OUT MILLIONS.

Thank you @wyden.senate.gov!

This awful bill comes up for a vote on Thursday! It’s a VERY SERIOUS threat to our voting rights. Please contact your representative and demand they vote NO!

Great turnout and lots of energy in PDX #handsoff #indivisible

Hands Off Portland OR 2025

#HandsOff

This act will disenfranchise millions of legal voters, including married women who took their husband’s name.

From Indivisible Beaverton:

"SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY - WE EARNED IT!"

Friday 3/21, 2 -4 pm

11975 SW 2nd St. & Lombard Ave,, Beaverton

We stand on all four corners of the intersection with signs. We may march to Farmington.

We joined the Indivisible protest at the Social Security office in Beaverton this afternoon. Great turnout in spite of the cold wet weather!! And so good to see all the waves, honks, and thumbs up from the passersby! Highly recommend!

Democrats clearly need new, strong leadership!! This is not it! So disappointed!

100% agree!!!

We counted on you to have a spine, show some courage, stand up for America. So very disappointing!!
