I’m sure it is

Another unfunded mandate from Kotek. In order to prevent layoffs because we have no money, we’re trying furloughing days, but now Kotek says we catch do that. So, we’re just going to…lay off more educators when we’re already struggling with behavior, class sizes and caseloads? Make it make sense!

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.

Workers I spoke to are pissed.

posting this shit when you’re owned by a billionaire is basically a recruitment ad for socialism

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

800,000 people who died because of the lack of lifesaving food and medical aid were unavailable for comment.

Absolutely not annoying, the first thing I do every morning in my classroom is turn on my air filter!

imagine the Pope personally calling you a fake bitch who's going to hell lol

Zohran Mamdani continues to pose the crazy question “what if the government you paid all those taxes to was actually using that money to improve your life?”

lol of course

Portland Public Schools are now ending June 5 instead of June 9, teachers are going unpaid and taking paycuts, and this is how @tinakotek.bsky.social is prioritizing our public funds. Btw our public school kids get fewer school days than most kids in the US and we just keep cut, cut, cutting away 💫

Oregonians are some of the most stressed-out people in America Oregon ranks as one of the most stressed states in the US, mainly due to high childcare costs and family-related stress.

Serious arguments aside about how bad this is: In a day, my students break pencils, their Chromebooks, and take apart their Nee Doh fidgets. If they think robot teachers can survive students, y’all are deeply unserious.

Well well well

PMC's idea of what specifically is to be done to, you know, help women in the workforce:

March 24, 1980: Archbishop Romero Assassinated Archbishop Óscar Romero of El Salvador was assassinated by U.S.-backed death squads.

”No one has to obey an immoral law. I beg you, I order you in the name of God: stop the repression.” — Archbishop Óscar Romero, El Salvador, in appeal to police and National Guard

Next day #tdih 1980 Romero was assassinated 💔 by U.S.-backed death squads. ⬇️ 🧵

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

Budgets are documents that show what you value and Tina Kotek and the Oregon state legislature have made it abundantly clear that they don’t care about students or educators.

But hey, the Trail Blazers will get a remodeled Moda Center and we’ve got tax breaks for data centers!

seeing Chavez’s legacy be swiftly and correctly decimated is a powerful reminder that we as a society could, actually, hold people accountable when credible allegations are made that they are child molesters

March 18, 2026 Today, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta issued the following statement:

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

I just know The Oregonian was so mad they had to write this, haha.

Today and always, we remember Rachel Corrie and fight for a free Palestine 🇵🇸

Fat cats and big wigs are so mad about Preschool for All. They scream into their pillows and cry themselves to sleep every night because we passed a good policy for once.

We cannot let them destroy it

Voters in This State Overwhelmingly Said Yes to Limiting Money in Politics. Then the State Legislature Had Its Say. Some 78% of Oregon voters approved limiting campaign contributions in 2020. Four years later, the Legislature finally adopted limits, but an advocate for tighter controls says recent changes render Or...

Even after Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved campaign contribution caps, the state Legislature dragged its feet on passing limits — and it’s since loosened them.

Solidarity with PCC ✊

It feels right now like a Republican is in office because we’ve got no money and no support. It’s not complete stupidity to demand more from our Democratic governor and our supermajority of Dems in the legislature. What is complete stupidity is to give them support when they do nothing for us.
