FOREST PARK IS UNDER ATTACK Two years ago we defeated Portland General Electric’s Harborton Project which would have clear cut 5 acres of Forest Park to expand electrical capacity to Hillsboro and support data center expansion.

Our Fair Share Tax proposal is coming to Committee of the Whole this Thursday morning at 9:30. If you think it’s a good idea to cut taxes for small businesses, raise taxes on large mega corporations, while raising more money to fund critical services then we need to hear from you.

I am so tired of this false media narrative about a divided council. In 2026 we have voted 395 times so far. 59 of those votes ended in a 6-6 tie. Only two of those tied votes got a mayoral tie break. The rest were budget amendments or the presidential election. Don't believe the media hype

Since July 27, brave people have been occupying an ancient cottonwood tree to block the construction of Trump's border wall, which is destroying the region's ecology. This morning, Border Patrol raided the camp, arresting a number of people and killing the tree. Background: crimethinc.com/lochiel

Border patrol agents have entered private property in Lochiel Az, without showing a warrant I’m told, to remove people who have been camping there. They’re also setting up an exclusion zone around the tree that’s being defended.

It's been over 24 hours since I called for Portland City Councilor Mitch Green's resignation over his calls to abolish police and prisons. Tina Kotek still refuses to condemn him. Her silence is an endorsement of the police abolition movement.


Unhinged MAGA Republicans and corporate lobbyists want Mitch Green out because DSA candidates are a threat to the system that is failing all of us.

Stand with Mitch.
