Let's come together to fight for our communities. Hope to see you there! 💖
Racism isn’t just slurs or insults. It’s systems and decisions that consistently deny marginalized communities access to power, opportunity, stability, and dignity — often while pretending to be “neutral.” That’s what we’re actually talking about.
Naming it isn't divisive. Ignoring it is.

You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

The Mercury has obtained a series of images of group messages that show racist, sexist, and homophobic tropes used by a local developer and other local conservative political activists during a council president election. Readers may find this content offensive.

This can’t be the norm anywhere in Portland.
AG Rayfield announces $7 million settlement with largest U.S. landlord over price fixing scheme
AG Rayfield and a bipartisan coalition have filed a proposed $7 million settlement to resolve claims against Greystar Management Services LLC, as part of the coalition’s ongoing enforcement efforts targeting price fixing involving housing rental prices across the country.
“We’re in the middle of a housing crisis, and families are already stretched to their limits. When the largest landlord in America uses an algorithm to price fix the rent, the result is simple: people pay more. It squeezes working families when the cost of housing is already at an all-time high. This settlement holds the largest U.S. landlord accountable. It’s a win for Oregonians, our pocketbooks, and the rule of law.”
BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals.

Today Portland City Council will have a final hearing and vote on my Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban!

Last night, Portland City Council unanimously passed its 'Protect Portland' Initiative resolution AND @councilorkanal’s ordinance to codify Portland's status as a Sanctuary City into law.
We passed both of these *unanimously* tonight. Thanks to everyone who turned up tonight to join in denouncing this administration and supporting the case for codifying our commitment to protecting our immigrant neighbors.

Portlanders will not be cowed by this administration. When undignitaries like Kristi Noem visit for their photo ops and get mocked by people in animal costumes it’s because that’s the level of respect they deserve. Doing the work of mass deportation is the least honorable thing a person can do.
