Did you know that the Black Panther Party required 2 hours of reading per day for comrades 📚? If you're falling behind on your revolutionary reading, check out what some of our Black Emerge comrades read this Black History Month for some inspiration! What else should we add to our reading list? 👀

There is a real enemy to fight in this moment, and it’s not each other. To me that’s the greatest tragedy of this time because I don’t know how we overcome this if we don’t work together.

I’ll be honest I thought it was dangerous when right wing folks were filming, felt less concerned when I realized it was revoke people, but a random man you don’t know with his face half covered following u/ filming you while you’re alone is not awesome. Some folks walked me to make sure I was safe

So I’ll repeat again: Councilors cannot make statements on a land use decision like the Macadam permit or they could be deemed as biased when it comes back to Council for a decision. We would be recused from the vote.

I started getting followed on my way home from an anti-war rally by a guy who was filming me so I assumed he was a right wing agitator and then he was a revoke person…demanding I answer why I support keeping the building open (I’ve never given a statement either way bc it’s a quasi judicial matter)

This captured the dignity and bravery I witness in Portlanders every day. Started tearing up reading it. From kids to elderly people, everyone showed bravery and a discipline to look out for their neighbors that day. I love the people of this city so much.

That goes for what’s happened in Palestine as well. The surveillance technology they tested on Palestinians is now being used against us at home. The imperial boomerang always comes back. The war always comes home. Your fate is bound to mine, and mine to yours.

Make no mistake, we are now seeing white American citizens being murdered by law enforcement because we never truly addressed the way our law enforcement treats Black Americans. If we do not help each other, it’s only a matter of time before we all lose. Our liberation is tied together.

The Council President vote was messy. But we need to be clear on why this process did not need to unfold the way it did, and why we were met with a prolonged deadlock, repeated deflections into technicalities, and unwillingness to engage directly with the merits of leadership.
A series of screenshots of Councilor Avalos at the dais with captions. Top: This council needs leadership that prioritizes the city over our ego, accountability over avoidance and integrity over gamesmanship. Middle: And I see my colleagues shifting in their seats. Guess what? Bottom: It's going to get more uncomfortable because there's a lot of repair work that has to happen.

We appreciate @councilorkanal.bsky.social raising concerns with rhetoric from @mayorkwilson.bsky.social telling Portlanders to call 911 and ask for PSR anytime they see someone experiencing homelessness. This is not PSR's mission & a troubling scope creep that could undermine the program's success.

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.

Portland State agrees to reinstate laid off faculty
In November, an independent arbitrator found that Portland State had violated its labor contract when it terminated the faculty last school year. The faculty cuts were part of a university plan to make up a multimillion-dollar budget deficit.
