New in-depth article from the Mercury on Portland DSA's recent rise to city hall. I'm very proud of everything we're building

How do you solve a problem like an unprecedented city budget deficit? Over the last few months of budget planning, Portland leaders suggested a host of ways to close the roughly $93 million gap, from...

Jake Tapper had this lady on his show last month as an “expert on hate”.
Stop Antisemitism (@StopAntisemites) the organization that listed Ms. Rachel as a top ten nominee for "Antisemite of the Year" is run by Liora Reznichenko, a rabid anti-black racist who publicly used a racial slur to attack Rep. Ilhan Omar. But there's more

Here is the @Mondoweiss podcast interview with Olivia Katbi Smith from 2020 where she describes her doxxing by The Proud Boys, attacks by Stop Antismeitism as well as the Milstein Family Foundation's funding of racist right wing extremist groups:

5 years ago, Stop Antisemitism listed Olivia Katbi Smith, an organizer with the national BDS movement and a member of Portalnd DSA, as "Antisemite of the Week", the same week that members of the white supremacist Proud Boys doxxed Olivia online, resulting in death threats.

Listing Olivia Katbi Smith as "Antisemite of the Week"in 2020 in the wake of her doxxing by The Proud Boys suggests a level of alignment between the goals of Stop Antisemitism and those of dangerous white wing groups in the US: to intimidate progressive voices.

This marks the first time that a resolution in Congress has explicitly called for sanctions on Israel. The S in BDS is no longer a taboo in the US. Now is the time to escalate BDS pressure. https://t.co/flPFuXXHyR

Ok but I’m right though
A new study came out claiming that 20% of parents think their child will be a division one athlete while 10% of parents think their child will be a professional athlete and/or be in the Olympics. To put that in context of numbers, that means of a graduating class of 500

It’s harmful and disingenuous for American media to continue the charade that there’s a ceasefire in place.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.

Hoping Zohran can charm Trump into doing an arms embargo
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he spoke to Donald Trump about wanting an end to “forever wars,” and an end to “taxpayer dollars we have funding violations of human rights.”

A pointless resolution on the House floor today. Clearly they feel threatened by dem socialists like myself who are unbought & willing to take on the billionaire class. To @DemSocialists members across the country organizing every day to build more just communities: Thank you!

It's not a civil war! This framing is completely wrong. It's just internal democracy. Socialists are making their arguments for and against, there will be a vote, and then everyone will abide by the consensus.

I asked them to put more pictures in this issue because my toddler liked looking at pictures of the MTA drivers in the last one. She can’t wait to read this one

Divesting NYC's public pension funds from Israel is morally correct and economically sound. The world is retreating from Israel after 2+ years of genocide. Moody's just downgraded their bond score to negative—these are not sound investments by any measure.

It is also notable that Rep Maxine Dexter of Oregon is signed on. AIPAC spent millions to get her elected in 2024. But her constituents here in Portland have kept the pressure on. Last month she signed on to Block the Bombs, and now this

The most important part of this resolution in my opinion is that it calls for sanctions on Israel and any corporations or individuals complicit in genocide. This is the S in BDS, and 20 members of Congress are signed on
NEW — Rashida Tlaib & 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. It notes that between 10/23 & 11/25, the US has sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel & authorized $30,000,000,000+ in weapons deals
