Portland folks it’s imperative that we show up for teachers loudly & publicly. Pressure from families & larger community made the difference in the two strikes across the river. Show up for educators!

hasan piker has been live for 40 minutes and his community has already raised over $125k for palestinian medical assistance. to participate in the fundraising effort check the pinned tiltify link in his stream. thank you turkish man

There's also a lot of work to be done in regards to schools - create & grow relationships w/ teachers unions, run candidates for school board & PTA elections, flood town meetings w/ members speaking against this new "anti-decolonization" campaign, etc.

One thing chapters can do is to identify local right wing agitators who were involved in anti-CRT work, especially those who disrupted school, library, town meetings, etc. Then educate their members so that such agitators can be identified & screened out at public meetings in future.

As dumb as Rufo is, DSA chapters should be taking this threat seriously. If this campaign is anywhere near as successful as his anti-CRT/DEI work, there's a good chance that socialist & racial justice groups will be effectively banned on school campuses throughout large swathes of the country.

NYT: The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said that airstrikes had killed at least 40 Palestinians who were attempting to flee northern Gaza by car on a main highway. Ashraf al-Qidra, a ministry spokesman, said in a WhatsApp message that the strikes had hit Salahuddin Road, Gaza’s main highway and one of the few routes to an area that Israel had said was safe. The Israeli military could not immediately be reached for comment.

they did what they were told and were killed anyway.

There is possibly nothing less persuasive than saying "police will be there to keep us safe" when trying to turn people out for rally that's been postponed for security concerns!

Our comrades in Denver DSA @denverdsa.bsky.social are still soliciting volunteers to hold the picket-line at the two plants being struck in our region. Sign up here: dsausa.us/denverUAW

tweet from @PinstripeBungle: for a lot of these fighters breaching the Gaza fence, this offensive is probably the first time in their entire lives they've ever been able to step outside the 25 mile x 7 mile Gaza strip.

Every single “non-violent” action by Palestinians has been violently crushed by the Israeli regime. There is an important parallel here. Regardless of how it is you resist, they will treat you the same.

Portlanders: LeCare Pharmacy has COVID shots! This lean, mean, vaccination machine currently slamming mRNA into the arms of everyone who shows up

"Don't you believe in PLUR?" they shout as I'm rolled for spare change to fund their X habit & plane tickets to Ibiza.

That the US federal government uses Waffle House's open restaurants as an indicator of how bad a weather event/disaster actually is, is reason alone to give them permanent hazard pay.

Also weird how the animators forgot how to make human mouths move correctly when speaking.

SE Portland, keep an eye out for this guy, he just got loose and went missing near Colonel Summers

Portland police approached wrong car after robbery call, then fatally shot unarmed man running away,...

PPB shot and killed my client's son. They had a general description of a dark vehicle and surveillance footage of four white guys. They surrounded a silver vehicle with three Black men in it. They said Immanueal reached for a gun but found no gun. No indictment. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2023/0...

(Okay, I'm also listening to "Merchandise" because that's just a banger & probably the most important lesson from Fugazi.)

Listening to Fugazi's "Bad Mouth" on repeat feels especially poignant on this last day of temping at this firm for almost a year and a half. You can't be what you were, and I can't be what I was. No movement betrays a bad mind.

LMAO, how many micro-sects are gonna split over which grifting 3rd party campaign they should offer critical support to?

Orwell wouldn't think anything at all because he understood that fascism was to be smashed, not debated.

Andy Ngo has been targeting a middle school in Tualatin. After he shared his posts yesterday, Hazelbrook Middle School has now evacuated all of the children & staff to a secondary location after being on lockdown all morning due to “direct threats of violence.” The school had to close due to threats

Google's promises that its “Privacy Sandbox” in Chrome is a privacy enhancing way to view ads. But is it? Spoiler: nope. But you can at least turn it off.

Good morning Bluesky. A reminder today, “40 Days for Life” Fascists will be protesting at local clinics that offer abortion, vasectomies, gender affirming care, cancer screenings, birth control, healthcare & resources for mentalhealth. Don’t let these fascist appear unopposed.

I’ve seen a couple players & streamers ask if they should be boycotting in solidarity. So I asked Jack Mulcahy, SAG•AFTRA National Board member and member of the TV/Theatrical/Streaming Negotiating Committee.
