At first glance, several names, small businesses and organizations in their coalition also endorsed Rene Gonzalez for commissioner & mayor. And how’d that turn out? Gonzalez was considered the “pragmatic choice” by their standards. I think it’s safe to say voters can ignore this coalition. 👇🏾

Christine Drazan’s campaign is running massive gubernatorial attack ads on Samsung TV Plus. Look, I’m incredibly frustrated with Kotek’s corporate & billionaire capitulations, and sabotage of PreK4All… but I’ll be voting for Kotek over Drazan, as Drazan is a Trump supporter & defender of ICE. A 🧵…

Progressive candidate, Abdul El-Sayed is the projected winner of the Democratic Senate Primary in Michigan, and Progressive candidate William Lawrence is the projected winner of the Democratic House of Representatives primary in Michigan. That’s 2 Progessives slated to win the primary in Michigan.

James Kasper was slated to convert the Centennial mills property into some posh nightclub, but apparently regarded the permitting process as being “nightmarish”, and Portland being “anti-business”. Apparently this led Kasper to seek an exit from the deal. A month later, and the building’s burning.

So it turns out the owner of the Centennial mills warehouse that caught fire today on NW Naito Parkway is owned by none other than Stuart Lindquist, (the same Stuart Lindquist who owns the ICE building, off of Macadam). Previous owners of the property were Prosper Portland…

I know this whole thing with Iran is 2 parts capitulating to Israel & Netanyahu’s neocolonialist genocidal inclinations, and 2 parts Trump trying to distract the plebs from talking about the Epstein files… But the Obama deal was in place before all this. Now we’re worse off than where we started.

Just your friendly reminder that it’s ABOLISH THE POLICE! NOW & ALWAYS! This is also why you DON’T FUCKING CALL THE COPS! NOT NOW, NOT NEVER! They ALWAYS escalate! They ALWAYS make things worse! #ACAB

Corporatist Democrats (aka Republican lite) really do have a type. 👇🏾

Who did this?? 😭

The @oregonian.com impatiently pushing disinformation, yesterday VS the reality & conclusion of the actual election outcome, today. 👇🏾

🥰 It’s a beautiful day out, and there’s good news!

As of 4:38pm, Myrna Munoz & Tammy Carpenter have pulled ahead! 🙌🏽

Hey Oregon, Some sobering post-election analysis: • There are presently 3,018,414 active, registered voters in the state of Oregon. • Of that, *less than 1/3rd of those registered, active voters participated in yesterday’s primary. • As a result, establishment Dem incumbents swept Progressives…

Brittany Jones (continued) - • Israel/Palestine: It took a lot to find, but Brittany Jones’ interview with ‘I Side With’ made her position on Israel’s genocide against Palestinians much clearer, and in alignment with those of us who demand an end to the U.S.’ funding of Israel. (See attached)… 👇🏾

Zeva Rosenbaum (continued) - • Data Centers: “I plan to fight hard for Al regulations to get rid of intellectual property theft, expand personal protections, limit use of Al in war and surveillance, and work to regulate data centers so they have to address their environmental and grid impacts.” 👇🏾 …

Zeva Rosenbaum (continued) - • Israel/Palestine: Zeva also doesn’t mince words, and has called what Israel is doing to Palestinians, a genocide, and has calls for an end to war, to genocide, and to nuclear weapons… 👇🏾

Zeva Rosenbaum | D5 Zeva is running against Janelle Bynum (who’s the largest AIPAC recipient in the state of Oregon). Zeva doesn’t take any AIPAC donations, any foreign lobbyist donations for that matter, or any corporate donations… 👇🏾

Melissa Bird (continued) - • Data Centers: “Heavily regulate AI and data centers for water and energy usage, with clear penalties for environmental harm.” 👇🏾 …

Melissa Bird | D4 • Israel/Palestine: Melissa doesn’t take AIPAC money, is endorsed by Track AIPAC, and: “Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal, characterized by criminal apartheid governance, and must end… Congress must immediately end all weapons sales and funding to the Israeli State.” 👇🏾

Jessica Salas (continued) - • Israel/Palestine: Salas doesn’t mince words, calls what Israel is doing to Palestinians, a genocide, calls to permanently end all military support to Israel, and calls to lift the blockade against Palestinian aid, to provide humanitarian aid immediately. 👇🏾 …

Jessica Salas | D3 • Data Centers: Jessica Salas is probably the most progressive candidate on this entire list, and has meaningful, actionable policies to address every issue she raises. Her position on data centers, and their harm to our environment, water and energy grid are no exception. 👇🏾 …

Mary Doyle (continued) - • Data Centers: Mary seems committed to implementing data center guardrails, while emphasizing accountability, public reporting on land exchanges, leases, water transfers, and enforcement actions. 👇🏾 …

Mary Doyle | D2 • Israel/Palestine: Mary’s staunchly against taking money from AIPAC, and has called to end writing blank checks for military aid to Israel. She highlights the credible evidence of Israel committing genocide, and supports free speech against Israel, and boycotts & divestments. 👇🏾 …

Jamil Ahmad (continued) - • Palestine/Israel: Ahmad’s position on Israel’s genocide, ethnic cleansing and neocolonialist project is vague, but unlike Bonamici, Ahmad is committed to using the constitution to circumvent arming Israel, as a violation of the separation of church & state. 👇🏾 …

Jamil Ahmad | D1 - • Data Centers: Ahmad is running against Susan Bonamici, and he has an interesting outlook on Data Centers, and their impact on energy bills, water usage, the environment as a whole, etc… and thinks Data Centers should be heavily regulated. 👇🏾 …

You’re a dork, my guy. Here’s a direct quote from Tom Dundon. He directly contradicts all of your dumb fear mongering. Which, btw, even if he wanted to move the Blazers out of Portland, he needs 3/4ths approval from the board of governors of the NBA to approve that move. Did you not know that?

Consumer spending accounts for the largest contributor to the U.S. GDP (70%) Oregon’s GDP is roughly the same (60~70%) Neither Tina Kotek nor Chris Dudley are talking about that, when they talk about stimulating job growth in Oregon. What they’re really talking about is trickle down economics. 👎🏾

» Tina Kotek’s Oregon taxpayer-funded, corporate-centric “Prosperity” Council’s strategic goals: “explore changes in tax policies that would stimulate GDP growth, and long-term tax revenue” » Business respondents to Prosperity Council’s survey: “Taxes are bad for business” Good work, everyone! 🥴

An Oregon taxpayer-funded “Prosperity Council”, created by Governor @tinakotek.bsky.social, with a council comprised of mainly private business owners, is tasked with shaping Oregon’s tax policies? Not workers. Not labor unions. But private business owners, CEOs and founders.👇🏾

That’s okay, @jojopdxor.bsky.social, you can block me. I already got the screenshots of your absurd spin to blame @councilorgreen.bsky.social & @councilormorillo.bsky.social for the abject failures & corruption of Ted Wheeler’s & @mayorkwilson.bsky.social’s administrations. Absurd spin, Jojo. 👎🏾
