You mean like Christine Drazan who this year actually ranted and voted AGAINST a bill codifying and upholding Oregon’s child labor laws? Those people? Ahem.

Remembering the time Drazan started a nonprofit, held a roundtable about housing in my region without inviting me or anyone from my city's govt, agreed to have one call with me about affordable housing afterwards, and then I never heard from her again. Performance doesn't gain us progress.

For the last two sessions I have fought and passed a bill with a price tag of $1.5-$4 million (scaled) that would have changed this outcome, had it been funded. I have railed about this on the house floor, to deaf ears. These folks did not have to lose their service.

Learn how to make a DIY air purifier step-by-step (videos and guide in thread via UC Davis). 🧵 engineering.ucdavis.edu/news/science...

DIY Air Purifier using a box fan! Materials Needed:
4 two-inch MERV 13 filters
20-inch box fan
Box fan packaging or similar cardboard
Duct tape
Scissors

Picture showing a DIY air purifier with a box fan attached to the top of four air filters taped together to make a box and a base made of cardboard. Airflow comes in through the filters and out through the top with the fan blowing out.

Tips to Keep in Mind. Use plenty of tape to seal the edges - you want the air to go in the filters, not through any gaps.
You need EPA or rated MERV-13 or higher for good filtration.
Air filter arrows should point in.
A filter can put strain on the fan motor and could cause the motor to overheat or catch fire. Therefore, it is very important to turn the fan off if you leave the house.

If you are running as a pro-union candidate, then use union printing and union shops. Seeing quite a bit of “I’m pro worker and pro union” lit out there without a union bug. (And we have great union shops in town if ppl need reccs, and union partners who print).

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

I made it home in time from Salem last night to go see “Wuthering Heights” with Matt. We had to stifle giggles, frankly. Main characters still assholes, and I knew the movie was going to be ridiculous from the opening scene. Has Salem made me that cynical? Clearly. (OG novel still is much darker).

I had to leave for an event just minutes before this. The crowd was full of kids, elders, and dogs, all peaceful, marching with union banners. The plumes that I saw went up from a distance are just bonkers. And this is why say ABOLISH. They are galvanizing the resistance with this violence.

See also, this: swing states with no automatic vote by mail that are trending blue. Terrorize, intimidate, manipulate. I’d be extra worried if I was PA (tho he has to keep Fetterman placated), NC, GA, OH, VA, for starters. This explains Maine.

I agree with Candace. And I am NOT anti-policing (to the dismay of many on this platform, I acknowledge). But this cannot be reformed. This cannot be fixed. ICE has become the federal administration’s brown shirts. Abolish ICE.
