I vote my priorities and put my money where my mouth is.
Mother, sister, grandmother, longtime “progressive “. Was at Vortex in Oregon good times! Love my family, bird watching, antique collecting, Oregon’s numerous landscapes and chocolate.

I vote my priorities and put my money where my mouth is.
I see local organizing around me constantly. Been around a long time and disagree with your assessment of the Democratic Party as a whole. Sure not perfect but I gave up decades ago thinking there is a candidate or party agree with fully. A third party now is problematic for many reasons.
I for one wonder what you suggest folks do? Not a majority, have limited options to block what’s going on…what do suggest? Bitching about it is useless. Tired of democrats suck with no indication of what they “should “ be doing currently in people’s minds such as yours.
Picked up 3 books from my local library yesterday 😊…which one to read first???
I miss her, I miss the Texas she created and I miss people like her in our government. She was a great woman and sorely missed. Texas has never recovered from losing her.
Remind yourself that you can do anything…and just make it through today. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow ❤️. It does one day get easier. You aren’t alone.
🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
New in @dailychronicle.bsky.social: The only scant benefits of rescinding the #RoadlessRule — to private companies — are overwhelmingly outweighed by costs to our essential national forests and future generations’ quality of life. It's just as bad as selling #PublicLands to the highest bidder.
I'm attending Portland District 2 Neighbors Indivisible's event, “🎭 Courage Takes Center Stage on Broadway” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...
Atiyeh took down the sign what a smuck. He invited McCall thinking he would regret having placed the sign. Even though dying McCall showed up and lambasted Atiyeh and all for selling Oregon out to the highest bidder.
Tom McCall tried that slogan for Oregon in the 1970’s …put it on a sign at the border with California lol. Didn’t work sadly.

Love this! Turning to Zelensky, Trump said, "That's the [reporter] that attacked you last time." (Glenn had asked Zelensky in February why he refused to wear a suit.) "I remember that," Zelensky replied before addressing Glenn directly. "You're in the same suit. I changed; you have not."
And I don’t need Israel or your perception of truth.
Really where do you get off questioning anyone about if they ever had empathy? Maybe try not starving and killing children and innocent people that helps one have empathy.
I don’t buy your argument and saying Israelis will cease to exist is ludicrous. Comes across poor me can’t find any middle ground…my existence matters the most. Why does an Israeli life matter more than a Palestinian? Save it I am long over this issue. No sympathy.
Israel is not on a higher moral ground in this regardless of your assertions. Don’t support helping Israel in any way shape or form. Sorry they lost my empathy.
Oops first time
First thing me Clinton Street Theater 1979…good times ❤️
Can say shame on you all I want as the attitude is pathetic poor you.
I hope you don’t have younger family members as the no voting is what got us here. I assume if don’t vote won’t complain correct? If you don’t vote can’t complain about what happens. I’m old too and losing my job short of retirement age and yet will always vote and put my money where my mouth is!
I’m sorry to hear that you lost your job. 21 of my coworkers and I were notified being laid off as restructuring and outsourcing our jobs. Thanks to tariffs and higher costs. Good luck with the job hunt. Being over 60 not sure how good my prospects are to find another job.
My mother used to yell "alternate" you idiots lol when merging in busy areas. Never heard zipper merge but covers the concept!
Closing the call center, I work in and laying us all off. Outsourcing as tariffs and low sales due to rising costs necessitate "restructuring". So much for America first and my cost of living going down...lol. So much more expensive than a year ago unreal how people actually voted for this.
Got word closing the call center I work in along with my coworkers as tariffs have hurt sales and cutting labor costs is all they can do besides raise prices which hurts sales…becomes vicious cycle. Outsourcing our jobs so much for America first. Thanks Trump and all who voted for him.
Thanks to tariffs and lower sales everyone in my small call center is getting laid off next month. Bastards sorry for the language.
Wow that’s a lame answer to why you bash “the left “ yet are here. Don’t worry happily don’t have to see any more hogwash from you. Blocking the account as waste of time and space.
It’s over $4 in my area currently.
Why are you here?
How about generalizations like why does "the left" advocate violence...must be a MAGA or have willfully forgotten the attack on the Capitol not to mention threats daily by the "right" against everyone. d
Seriously think insurrection...you know the attack on the capitol? Why do folks like you say "the left always"? Why are you here if you don't like folks on the left? And at some point nonviolence stops working...think the American Revolution, French Revolution...and more.
Saw this rebuke of current homeless tactics in Portland. How do we fix this problem as has persisted for decades .
As an Oregonian I am all in!
BREAKING: WE WON OUR WESTERN #WOLVES CASE Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has to reconsider its denial of our petition for Endangered Species Act protections, this time using the best available science. westernlaw.org/court-wester...
Throw Josh Shapiro in the trash, then burn the trash. open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...
I didn’t hire him to capitulate to evil. Slippery slope he has us on. Will vote against anyone who supports this next election. Shame on you too for thinking this is ok.
Sold our souls to the devil.
@mayorkwilson.bsky.social 4%of budget doesn’t justify this. You sold our soul to the devil.
@mayorkwilson.bsky.social Shame on you for conceding to Trumps demands. Will vote you out next cycle!
Embarrassed to be from Portland. Already wrote in will call as well. No concessions to that man. Shame on you Mayor Wilson. Sorry I voted for you.
Next to my kids best thing I have ever done 😊
I can never have even one drink would undue all those years sober and 1 drink for folks like me is NEVER enough!
30 years for me…don’t miss it!!!
So long, man. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...
Grew up listening to Tom Lehrer. Still love those songs to this day…50 years later ❤️. My mother adored that man and his satire!!
This is a mother and her daughters who are US citizens👇🏼🤨👉🏼 ICE violated their civil rights stole all their stuff took their phones their laptops their money they were left with nothing naked in the rain! This could happen to anyone no matter your race citizenship or legal status!👿
Appreciate his service!
EPSTEIN LATEST: In light of what we released last week from my staff's investigation, I'm handing Trump's DOJ a ready-made case with seven different lines of investigation for them to follow the money on Jeffrey Epstein.
Now this is one cleaver little prairie dog.. Wait for it…. 😂🤣
ICYMI – the transformed, state of the art Albina Library is now open again! The updated library is nearly four times larger, expanding both in size and service to the community. Read all about it from @multcolib.bsky.social: multcolib.org/articles/alb...
This is a welcoming account 🏳️⚧️
This sweet girl needs a temp foster soon Seattle. Please consider fostering if you’ve got a little room in your heart!?💕 Contact Seattle Animal Shelter to foster Starlight temporarily or to adopt her forever!
I’ve got 5 town halls coming up. I hope to see you there.
All are welcome here in Multnomah County! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Looks like Roseville or Weller or similar maker… nice piece of art pottery! Sadly have lost a few things to a cat and the floor 😂
Congratulations! Indeed after almost 30 years do not miss alcohol and grateful to wake up every morning sober. Life might not be great but I am not making it worse by drowning in alcohol. 💙
I will go for sure to face off with that despicable person…keep us posted!
Does it say I don’t care?
That’s your opinion. I don’t care about his family. I care about someone who can articulate their position and aren’t afraid to compromise within the Democratic Party. As long as stick to my way or the highway will not be of assistance to the people…in my opinion.
Have you heard Joe Kennedy III speak? His background includes things like the Peace Corps. He reminds me of the best from John and Bobby.
I love Oregon! ❤️ Although a horrible past at least trying to do better.
The federal ruling requires a way for parents to opt out on religious grounds. Oregon’s new law includes a similar provision but in a different context.
🙂
Be more specific as violence, starvation, etc. seem self explanatory as to why folks would flee. Taking their kids better that than leaving them behind?
I don’t understand the question either as starvation, violence, etc. seem to be self explanatory. Why would you flee and take kids…desperate and no hope.
Seriously immigrants are far more helpful and commit less crime then my fellow home born white Americans. White people fuck things up predominantly and are you a indigenous person otherwise you are an immigrant and guessing you helped fuck up your country.
“[Lady Liberty] was meant to welcome the stranger, the refugee, the outcast. Today, she can only watch what’s happening and turn away in shame,” de Leeuw said. "The values that the statue once stood for — freedom, hope, the right to be yourself — have been lost for many,”
Personally rooting for hell being real and all those folks that support this administration go there…sooner rather than later. Guess I am done with turning the other cheek!
What about your shitpost replies?
What is your issue? Moan and complain then post nonsense. You get what you give.
Prove the timing lol what a maroon as Bugs Bunny famously said.
Lol wow wherever you get your information must be a comic platform as what you are saying is ridiculous. Rising infectious disease rates have steadily increased as anti Vaxers have become more prevalent. White Americans least likely to get vaccinated especially in GOP states hmmm coincidence?
And doubt sincerity about being offensive. I have those same papers which won’t help if no due process. I can’t understand why this concept is so hard to understand.
Those things don’t protect you if no due process what can’t you understand about that? Instances of folks having documents only to be called fake…again without due process no opportunity to prove anything.
Biggest measles outbreak in decades here and not because of immigrants but because folks are ignorant and selfish.
I’m not your bro and amazing how uninformed you are. How do we know you are a citizen? How do you know if I am. Without due process you can be sent to that lovely place just cuz. You realize this administration is anti vaccination so your Covid thing is bogus. Learn to read and understand.
You have BDS best seek help. Biden is not President and stop blaming Trumps failures on someone else. Take responsibility. Personally hope you lose your job, healthcare, maybe get sent Alligator Alcatraz as folks like you are the problem in the end. You need to find out the hard way sounds like.
You can Alligator Alcatraz hear its lovely and akin to a gulag. You will enjoy it there!
Dream on more anti MAGA people in this country…didn’t learn math did ya. Oh yeah folks like you hate education. At moments feel sorry for folks like you but then remember how awful morally you are. #MAGAISACULT #Learntothink #Morallybankrupt
You are an enemy too for supporting this corrupt administration. Don’t have TDS just a MAGA buzz word. Was taught right from wrong obviously you were not. Untwist your panties…are you wearing men’s or women’s??? In the basement in a trailer park?
Right there with you! Parts of my youth were great but I remember the civil rights and anti Vietnam War protests. Parents very involved back then and they would be appalled how far backward we have gone.
Important reminder that migrant detention facilities are not meant to be prisons. None of the people put in them have been charged, tried, or convicted of a crime. On top of that, being undocumented in the US is a civil offense that would never merit prison. So why the cages?
Cooling Portland provides free units for low-income Portlanders who live within the city limits, who can’t otherwise afford to buy the equipment for themselves. As of Tuesday, the program has installed more than 16,670 units.
In my area everything is more expensive than before Trump. The only thing that is cheaper are eggs.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Please share this. Friends of the Everglades are organizing a protest to stop Alligator Alcatraz. Join us we have coalition members traveling overnight to be there by morning. Where: Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, 54575 Tamiami Trail When: Saturday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
We need to recognize extreme heat is not just a climate problem, but an economic one as well. Extreme heat leads to increased cooling costs, utility bills, and food prices. Working people will bear the brunt of these increased costs. Climate justice IS economic justice.
Damn right!!!
Found this today while cleaning up…interesting stuff.
