😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

Turns out opposing racist and violent fascism is popular! 🙃

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

BREAKING: Senator Blumenthal states Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran.

Boots on the ground.

A reminder that him & Netanyahu will not send their sons, but they expect your sons and daughters to go die for them so they can stay out of prison. Are we great yet?🤔

Wait I kinda love this room!? I'm so down to help you design it and make it a reality lmaoooo 😩😭😂

Oops, I forgot I’m a politician posting on a political platform 😂

Ok, here's my take: we all navigate imperfect systems under global capitalism every day & draw our own lines about what to avoid. Sometimes I’m just enjoying a corner of the internet while… *gestures at everything*

Perspective y'all

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Tomorrow: Join us for a town hall to learn more about the proposed Parkrose ESD, hosted by Councilor Avalos and Historic Parkrose! Local Parkrose business owners are strongly encouraged to offer their feedback and community members are welcome to attend.

In the most millennial cringe confession ever: I now understand why the youth like TikTok 🤣👵🏾

I've been on it in the last few months, watching and making videos, and it's a vibe over there 🤪

This week is emotional for many reasons. But the biggest? I get to move back into my home on Friday. 😭🏡

Six months of instability has taken a real toll on my health. 😵‍💫 And I had support!

This is why I fight so hard for housing as a human right. We ALL deserve a stable roof over our heads!!! 🫶🏾✊🏾

You can see the corporate stooges salivating over the possibility that their 6+ year plan to raid PCEF might finally bear fruit.

Anyway, if you think we should use the climate justice fund for climate justice, you should speak up!

forreal bc what is wrong with y'all 🤣

My amendment to restore a $15 million PCEF investment in affordable housing was approved! That means we’re on the path to: Create 586 additional housing units. House close to ~1,700 people. Support a pipeline of affordable multifamily projects.

Thank you to my colleagues for overwhelmingly supporting my amendment to restore a $15 million PCEF investment in affordable housing.

This George Floyd resolution is a commemorative resolution.

It’s about memory. It’s about naming what happened and putting on the public record that his murder sparked a global movement for racial justice in four cities, including Portland, to reckon with police accountability and systemic racism.

City Council votes unanimously to rezone select properties to support affordable housing production Zoning map amendments reduce barriers to expanding and preserving affordable housing on key properties owned by nonprofit and public affordable housing providers.

The Affordable Housing Opportunities Project addresses a clear problem.

Nonprofit and public housing providers already own land intended for affordable housing, but existing zoning creates unnecessary barriers and delays.

ADOPTED: Our resolution to commemorate the life of George Floyd and reaffirm our commitment to racial justice. Picture of a mural of George Floyd.

Yesterday, council unanimously voted to adopt our resolution to commemorate the life of George Floyd and reaffirm our City’s commitment to racial justice.

Reminder: you have until March 13 to fill out my budget survey! More than 200 East Portlanders have already let me know their budget priorities.

Our top three neighborhoods represented so far are Hazelwood, Pleasant Valley, and Powellhurst-Gilbert!

On March 5 at 9:30 am, City Council is having a work session on the close to $106 million in unbudgeted Portland Housing Bureau funds. Graphic with picture of City Hall, "On deck at City Hall."

Hey Portland: this coming Thursday, March 5, we’ll be having a work session on the unbudgeted housing funds.

We know that there have been a lot of questions about the close to $106 million that’s been discovered, and we hope this work session will help answer most of them.

Portland shelters continue to have a racism problem - Street Roots City and county shelters underserve homeless Portlanders of color, a report shows. The report reflects Portland shelters' continued racism problem.

City and county shelters underserve homeless Portlanders of color, a Multnomah County report shows. Responses from Mayor Keith Wilson’s office voiced concern, but took issue with some of the county’s data points.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

That part. Y'all can go be problematic on my public accounts. This is MY page and I already gotta absorb racism almost every day and no I'm not exaggerating so I will be taking my personal space free from pedantic energy draining trolls.

The world is dark so I'm brightening mine up with some pink and purple braids 🩷💜💁🏾‍♀️🙂‍↔️

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives.

Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

The obscenity, the arrogance, the ignorance, the incompetence, the violence, the moral bankruptcy of this administration knows no bounds.

So many innocent lives extinguished in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and now Iran, to serve the delusions of madmen. We are all in danger while they reign.

Life on Earth is about to get harder.

Yes, it’s already been hard. But we’re entering a darker period.

That doesn’t mean we stop fighting for justice. It means we protect our energy, stay grounded, and hold each other tight.

We will need each other.

It's pretty obvious most Congresspeople only want to make six figures a year, receive gold-plated health insurance at taxpayer expense for life, and boss around staff.

No war with Iran!

War is not a negotiating tactic. It is a human tragedy.

I do not support military escalation or bombing campaigns. I do not support expanding another conflict in the Middle East.

Civilians pay the price.

Diplomacy and de-escalation are the ONLY responsible path.
