Dan Ryan is under a court order not to delete messages from his personal phone, which may contain public records. In court documents, Ryan said he no longer has the phone he's been using, because his spouse traded it in the same day a judge barred him from deleting records. He says nothing was lost.

Could not agree more about public education. I just want the best for kids! All the kids! Especially the kids in marginalized communities and with the least resources. We should all fight for this.

I’ll be testifying for Portlands Fair Share tax on large corporations tomorrow morning at 10 b/c I want it to happen. If you testify on one thing it should be this. Don’t wait and hope someone else does. This could actually happen. www.portland.gov/council/agen...

"The children are always ours, every single one of them." Remember, efforts to defund public schools and privatize / promote 'school choice' are inextricably linked to the white backlash to de-segregation. We better lock in for our public schools, our teachers, and, especially, our kids.

A good guy w/ good values! In this district, I think Jamey has a better shot and also has serious policy acumen/experience which will be a huge asset given some of the specific challenges the city faces. I’d recommend ranking both along with, of course, Dr. Mitch Green!

Last thing I’ll say on this is that if you’re a seedling getting into politics and you have any backbone to fight for marginalized people, you will subsequently face operators who will beat that instinct out of you. You must stay true to your center. You know in your gut & heart what you must do.

obviously, there are still many ways i would want to strengthen this and expand its application!! i have my critiques. but this is a quantum leap forward compared to anything else being considered right now. and to have this many co-sponsors? the tides are shifting.

I've been reviewing this and parallel efforts over the past week & Castro's bill is far and away the most comprehensive U.S. effort to check the United States' economic complicity with illegal settlements. This is paradigm shifting legislation.

Annie Ellison tried to stop me from getting into Emerge Oregon, a program that teaches women to run for office. When I got in anyway she told me to stop talking about police accountability and the rights of the unhoused because “those aren’t popular issues anymore.”
day, goPDX sent $6,000 to "The Rally Point" —a consulting firm run by former Emerge Oregon director Annie Ellison. The goPDX PAC then sent $25,000 each to DitchMitch and fix multCo.

Extremely proud of all the Iraqi female (and a number of male) social media influencers and activists who are speaking up against the highly regressive and misogynistic amended Personal Status Law in Iraq. They know that by speaking up they are putting so much at risk, but they are doing it anyways.

I can't wait for Abdul El-Sayed to author legislation to cut off aid to the Egyptian government for human rights violations and then, in his next interview, be asked why he only criticizes Israel and doesn't say the same things about the Egyptian regime.

The terminal is pretty but greenwashing. Wood was not sustainably sourced and it’s financed by future parking revenues. Sustainable aviation fuel is a greenwashed false solution. PDX can’t massively expand air flights and claim to be “sustainable” It’s really straightforward BS-ing.
