Trump's win shows us who we really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

Our communities need law enforcement to be able to focus on preventing/solving serious crimes. We should reduce traffic stops for infractions like broken tail lights that aren’t dangerous so police can focus on stopping real crime. Read more: #orleg #orpol opb.org/article/2022/02/04/o…

HB 2417 passed the House! Expanding mobile crisis intervention programs (think @cahoots_wbc model) in Oregon. It's about getting the right kind of response to people in crisis. Ty @RepTawnaSanchez & @PamMarshORHD5 for fierce partnership. #PeopleCentered #orleg #orpol

Well, the reading voice is not quite Bob Ross, but close!
A friendly run of the numbers: of the 102 bills that have been voted out of committee and are awaiting a floor vote, 94 were bipartisan out of committee and 86 unanimous. #orleg

Advocates said the billions in aid slated for Native Americans under the latest COVID-19 relief bill is welcome, but they told a House committee Tuesday that a one-shot infusion will not solve all the challenges facing tribes indiancountrytoday.com/news/…

The white supremacist coup attempt was shocking, but it didn’t come from nowhere. We’ve had decades of attacks on democracy through voter suppression, dark money & gerrymandering—designed, too, to ensure power for a minority. We must rebuild our We The People foundations.

If the Legislature doesn’t extend foreclosure protections in a special session this month, we risk repeating the mistakes of the Great Recession. People need certainty right now. We must do everything we can to keep people in their homes. #orpol #orleg opb.org/article/2020/12/13/o…

States that let their eviction moratoriums expire have caused an additional >400k COVID cases & 10k deaths Oregon's moratorium expires in 3 weeks. Either #orleg must come into special session to extend it or the Governor must act by executive order #orpol npr.org/sections/coronavirus…
