Donald Trump’s premature claims of victory are illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian. Count the votes. Respect the results.

Protestors should instead be seen as protectors. Political engagement is a human right, a right that should also be respected when about police brutality. In sorrow and solidarity with Lagos 💔

This evening City Council voted unanimously in support of the resolution I created in collaboration with community advocates that refers a measure to voters this November to add a new police oversight system into the city charter. (Thread 1/14)

Thank you for being there and continuing to speak out.
Last night I was teargassed by a federal occupying force I SAW throw canisters of poison, without warning, into a nonviolent crowd, including elders, the vulnerable. We can’t wait for Nov to drive secret police from Pdx! Democracy is slipping away in front of our tear-gassed eyes

Our city is safely protesting oppression and racism. These are street medics, trying to help a man down. Trump’s federal officers are inciting violence and threatening our first amendment rights. #BLM #PortlandKidnappings #peace

We live in a democracy, not a banana republic. We will not tolerate the use of Americans as props in President Trump’s political games. Read my full statement with Rep. Earl Blumenauer here:

Sigh. It’s still worth celebrating and crying then getting to work to elect Joe Biden as president in November.
As the sun went down on this historic day five years ago, the White House lit up in brilliant colors—an act that would have stood regardless of the Supreme Court ruling earlier that day. But as crowds gathered, it became a moment of celebration. Love had won.

This picture really troubles me. Armed forces in the nation’s capital, appearing to have been stripped of all badges and name tags—making them totally unaccountable to the people—is something I’d expect to see from a dictatorship, not a democracy.
Asked who they’re with, these guys say only that they’re with “The Department of Justice.”

No more brutality. No more murder. No more hashtags. Just justice. May it rain down like a mighty river.
