All four senators from Oregon and Washington opposed the continuing resolution to end the federal shutdown. The deal passed the senate regardless, leaving Cascadia facing rising health costs and fewer protections, without meaningful influence over federal policy. #cascadia #shutdown #healthcare

The USDA blocked the Roseburg Grocery Outlet from offering a 10% SNAP discount, which attempted to support families hit by benefit cuts, but the store found a clever workaround by partnering with a local food pantry to continue supporting its community. #cascadia #snap #usda ↓More Info Below↓

Oregon is leading a multistate lawsuit arguing President Trump exceeded legal authority with sweeping, long-term tariffs, bypassing Congress, disrupting trade, harming regional industries, and threatening states economic autonomy. #cascadia #economy #tariffs #supremecourt ↓More Info Below↓

A U.S. citizen was arrested and detained in Gresham, OR after photographing ICE agents and their vehicle plates. Agents refused to identify themselves, broke her car window, and held her for several hours with no legal cause. #cascadia #civilrights #ice #gresham ↓More Info Below↓

The history of Cascadia teaches us that change comes through collective action above all. This is a great thread to begin to learn that history:

The federal government has pulled a $1 billion grant for the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association, undermining our region’s environmental efforts and threatens over 10,000 local jobs. #cascadia #cleanenergy #environment ↓More Info Below↓

Cascadia Democratic Action organized a Seattle food drive that collected thousands of pounds of food for local families hit by federal SNAP cuts. The cuts took effect Nov. 1 and leave over 1.6 million Cascadians without food assistance. #cascadia #mutualaid #snap #community

The U.S. Forest Service has moved to overhaul the Northwest Forest Plan, a decision that, under the direction of the Trump administration, could roll back decades of conservation work and open vast stretches of western Oregon and Washington forests to increased logging. #cascadia #environment

Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia have reaffirmed their commitment to coordinated action by signing a new pact to advance housing, clean energy, and innovation together. Cascadians continue building the institutions of shared governance that our future demands. #cascadia #localgovernance

Oregon prosecutors discovered internal emails proving that the day after a federal judge barred any federal deployment, troops were deployed to Portland’s ICE facility for at least 12 hours. An overt breach of a court order and state authority. #cascadia #nationalguard #statesrights #portland

A federal judge in Oregon granted a preliminary injunction blocking an attempt to pull funding from sex-ed programs that include gender identity. The court ruled the move unlawful, protecting schools and nonprofits teaching inclusive education. #cascadia #oregon #education #sexed

The DOJ admitted it lied about federal agents in Portland, exaggerating their numbers in order to overstate tensions at the ICE facility and justify troop deployment. Such deliberate lying futher shows the federal government's complete disregard for the rule of law. #cascadia #portland #ice

Oregon and Washington have filed suit against the U.S. ahead of cuts to SNAP funding starting in November that would leave over 1.6 million Cascadians without food assistance. We all must stand together against federal disregard for essential welfare programs. #cascadia #lawsuit #oregon #washinton

In Portland, ICE pulled a protester across a marked boundary and violently detained them while pepperballing surrounding protesters, captured on video. The footage shows federal agents using force against residents exercising their right to protest. #cascadia #portland #oregon #federaloverreach

A federal “wildfire prevention” bill may open nearly half of Oregon’s land to increased logging and grazing while aggresively weakening environmental review and local input. Critics call it what it is: a federal land grab disguised as forest management. #cascadia #oregon #publiclands #logging

ICE has detained a Hillsboro grandfather, a legal U.S. citizen who has lived in the community for nearly 30 years, even after agents acknowledged it was a case of mistaken identity. He has reported being held in inhumane conditions. #cascadia #ice #civilrights #immigrationrights

Federal agents in Portland dragged and detained a blind protester. The man and witnesses say he was targeted precisely because he couldn’t fight back. Another show of force from a government that treats its own people like enemies. #cascadia #portland #federaloverreach #civilrights #protest #ice
