When I was a kid I lived through the Iraq war.

Now I’m an adult and I’m living through the grok war

Serial harasser and bigot Brian Owendoff is back in the news today. 👇

Owendoff’s antics and lack of self control have given us a glimpse into the right wing networks that work behind the scenes to keep the rich and powerful in control.

Also, when will Dan Ryan release his texts with Owendoff?

Portland DSA steering committee elections are this week!

Gov. Kotek tried to destroy preschool for all on behalf of the rich and was defeated handily by parents, teachers, unions, and socialist electeds.

Now she’s retreating by announcing some vague panel to study the issue.

The working class is strong when we fight together for what we deserve. 💪

We… would prefer that our members’ bosses not be armed at the office…

Any day is a great day to join DSA!

Rest in power to a giant.

Deep Jesse lore. My dad worked on the 84 & 88 Jackson campaigns. My mother’s Lutheran, my father’s Jewish.

As a favor Reverend Jackson baptized me at my mom’s church.

Reverend Jackson is my namesake.

Picture of the post game with me in my dad’s arms as Rev Jackson kisses my grandmother.

CWA 7901 Stands With Minnesota General Strikers! January 23, 2026 will be a day that will be remembered as the beginning of the end for the ICE regime grasping the throat of the nation's working class. A coalition of unions - including our sister local CWA 7250 - in collaboration with community groups, has called for a general strike of no working, no shopping, and no school.

CWA 7901 welcomes this as a necessary precondition for nationwide labor and community action against ICE terror. Our union siblings in Minnesota are leading the way for the entire labor movement, and our union pledges to support fully in every possible way. LOCAL 7901

CWA 7901 Co-signs the demands of the Ice Out Of Minnesota Day Of Truth & Freedom Coalition 1. ICE must leave Minnesota now. 2. The officer who killed Renee Good must be held legally accountable. 3. No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget and ICE should be investigated for human and Constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors. 4. We call upon Minnesota and National Companies to become 4th Amendment businesses, cease economic relations with ICE and refuse ICE entry or using their property for staging grounds. LOCAL 7901

CWA 7901 has endorsed the January 31st Portland event: Labor Says ICE Out! We'll join our siblings in the Oregon labor movement to stand together against ICE terror. Oregon has seen terror recently with the shooting of two community members and we must act to prevent further bloodshed in our streets from unaccountable federal goons. COM LOCAL 7902

The second is a charter for the international Typographical Union which was signed in 1883.

Absolutely wild finds in our @cwa7901.bsky.social office.

I just found two relics that have just been collecting dust next to my desk in the corner of the office.

The first is a resolution creating the Oregon and Washington Typographical Society from the Journeymen Printers Convention in 1853.

Got to celebrate @drmitchpdx.bsky.social 44th birthday.

Same time as the @portlanddsa.bsky.social holiday party.

Walking back to the car, we ran across a hot dog cart and that felt like kismet!

Excited to see him & @joel4jc.bsky.social prevail in runoff races for JC City Council!

The CEI Hub, a six mile stretch of fuel storage tanks between the Willamette River and Forest Park stores 90% of Oregon's liquid fuels.

Everyone who works in or near this geography is at risk of the impacts of a world-historic industrial disaster.

We, as workers, can prevent this future.
