Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
This is lovely🌹🙂

I’d forgotten that one. Powerhouse.

What a terrible moment this is. Any song surging to the forefront, for you ?
Ukraine passed a law allowing foreigners to obtain Ukrainian citizenship without renouncing their current citizenship, with exceptions. Multiple citizenship is unavailable for Russians, citizens of countries not recognizing Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and those from states like...
“It’s not the environmental risks or the water risks on their own– if they’re not combined with a sense of exclusion, then oftentimes those don’t in and of themselves cause protests..It’s the harm combined with the lack of voice to be able to say something about that harm" @triofrancos.bsky.social
Sadly true.

#IndivisibleClackamas #Resist #Protest #PDX #PNW Weekly Friday street protest, Milwaukie, OR: Tho no official street action was planned due to long holiday weekend, thirty Indivisibles showed up, by word of mouth, to defend Democracy- while sharing the corner with a handful of Trump supporters.
“According to newly released American National Election Studies (ANES) data from late 2024, analyzed and reported here for the first time, Americans feel more positively toward labor unions and more negatively toward big business than any time since ANES began asking the question in 1964.”
That was mesmerizing ..& very creepy
It’s plain for all to see.

Class project is complete: green man with a red bird for a companion. My 1st attempt at cottonwood bark- piece is apprx 3” tall & finished with a coat of TerraNova oil, & topped with some diluted acrylic paint. #woodcarving #Hobby #PNW #GreenMan #WoodSpirit
Simple & lovely, and so very like a cat ❤️
oooo, reminiscent of a mystery quest, suggested by the Tiny (empty) Olympic Library, of Port Angeles- from @liminalgarrett.bsky.social .. #pnw #wtf #washington
Ooo, thanks for this.. must investigate : )

Another man was kidnapped in Spokane Washington by a gang of terrorists who are being paid with MY TAX DOLLARS and YOUR TAX DOLLARS. By the party of fascist criminals. And your elected official (both Republican and Democrat) won’t tax and regulate them. #washingtonstate #pnw #cascadia #spokane
Class project- 1st attempt at cottonwood bark, which was prone to crumbling; should I try to stabilize with super glue .. ? 🧐 Still need to decide how to finish: oil, light color wash, eye accents? Will consult with teacher. Piece is apprx 3” tall. #woodcarving #PNW
That’s super.
Ha Mine: sooo self-explanatory ‼️🫤

A splendid tribute to my childhood camp counselor, written by one of her children. Barbara was effervescent, & kind; & took the time to exchange letters with a shy & awkward kid for many years after. #PNW #HoodRiver #Oregon #Utah #Kindness #Friendship #Childhood www.standard.net/announcement...

That’s lovely. Please post photo/s of finished project. Meow !
I think it unlikely that the contumacious party will purge its contempt.
What a splendid kitty.

In times like this, I think it is vital for people to learn about history. Especially the kind of history that reminds people of the power of direct action and organizing. Just a reminder that non violent protests are proven to be the most affective. That’s why cops instigate violence. #history #pnw

“It is time for you to leave the United States” .. ⁉️ Yikes.

Hi: hope you’ve enjoyed your visit to PDX. if you’re still in town & want to attend a modest sign-waving street action (70-100 people) there’s one a bit south of Portland @ 4:30. Glad to carpool you- I’m not far from Bridgetown; DM me if interested 🌹☮️⚖️
The crews on the Alaska ferries running from Bellingham will be happy. I was on the Columbia when they had a circus with a tiger and 2 elephants as well as a full load of cars. It was headed for Whittier, but I got off in Juneau. #Alaska #MarineHighway
