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.

As someone who voted for Steve Novick in his U.S. Senate primary against Jeff Merkley, I find it interesting that his current politics on Portland City Council has him aligned with a donor who has given $30k to Christine Drazan since 2022.

Last week, the Portland Police Bureau killed Kylo (their own dog) and a human person. Instead of just telling us that, PPB chose to execute a media blitz to try and convince the public they were sad that the dog was killed (passive voice) & that we should feel bad for them.

Mayor Wilson should probably concern himself more with fulfilling his campaign promise to end unsheltered homelessness in a year (guess we’re getting close to the 2 year mark, imagine if I’d made such a promise!) than disparaging councilors who are undoubtedly returning to office. Just a thought!

Our proposal eliminates biz taxes for 18k small businesses. We’ve reached out to small businesses and workers who serve the city and whose jobs are on the line each year. I’m not interested in what billionaire CEOs and their lobbyists think. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
"Councilors haven't even posted an ordinance or reached out to impacted stakeholdersi said Andrew Hoan, the president. More importantly, Councilors proposing another tax should be honest about who pays it. Local taxes work like tariffs: the cost doesn't vanish-it puts on a
'big business' name tag, slips into the checkout line, and leaves consumers holding the bill."
