The city of Portland is doing everything it possibly can to avoid financial responsibility for police brutality. We know, shocking.

@DirectActionPDX: '#ICE lawyer Lisa Batey could have been anything in 2017 when #Trump announced his #zerotolerancepolicy - children taken from parents, labeled with numbers, put in cages. Lisa Batey chose to represent …, see more https://t.co/1wgSiuRI2s
Everyone needs to know who #LisaBatey really is and what she has did to countless Black, brown, and Indigenous families over the last 30 years as a lawyer for the #AmericanGestapo and the #Trump agenda
Protecting our families means not giving her more power to do even more harm
#ICE lawyer Lisa Batey could have been anything in 2017 when #Trump announced his #zerotolerancepolicy - children taken from parents, labeled with numbers, put in cages. Lisa Batey chose to represent Trump’s #Gestapo.
Now she wants to represent the city of Milwaukie, OR as mayor
With all the injustice happening in this world, we cannot forget the little things, we cannot let evil people slip through the cracks of accountability.
The city of Milwaukie needs to know who #LisaBatey really is.
Let everyone know, be evangelical about this.
What kind of people do we want to elevate to represent us in power?
#LisaBatey worked tirelessly for decades to tear apart families for not holding the right papers.
She worked to imprison and expel indigenous people who crossed imaginary lines in their ancestral lands.
As of today I ~officially~ have long COVID (as recognized by the CDC), so I wanna take a second to explain what’s happening. To set the stage: I’m 30, I’ve been an athlete my entire life, and I used to be extremely healthy, minus some pesky seasonal allergies. My resting heart 1/
In 2020, Rita Schenkelberg became the first person of color and openly non-binary person on the Bend City Council. On Wednesday, Schenkelberg resigned, citing racism, transphobia and homophobia that they faced as an elected official. By @JoniAudenLand: https://t.co/Sj822najkx

It’s letting BIPOC people finding our voice, our power, & our worth by not standing in the way
We dont need your privilege to help us, we need your privilege set aside so we can finally be heard
@mark_gamba @IndivisibleOR5C @ConnollyMer @Skinner1C @JeanLofy @LuthyLiz @mary_chaffin You played dirty in this election using BIPOC to beat BIPOC. Maybe the fact that you don’t think that you played dirty, that you don’t see what’s wrong with that, that that’s not what you apologized for, maybe that’s what’s wrong with more white men in power.
@mark_gamba @IndivisibleOR5C @ConnollyMer @Skinner1C @JeanLofy @LuthyLiz @mary_chaffin You may not think you’re rich, but you’re rich to us, because you’re not working class. Then you claim to represent the working class better than a working class person. The environment better than an indigenous person. Like every other white man before you
@mark_gamba @IndivisibleOR5C @ConnollyMer @Skinner1C @JeanLofy @LuthyLiz @mary_chaffin Plastering all your flyers w/ the faces & names of every Black & brown person who supported you while running against the person who would be the first native Hawaiian in Oregon house history, while claiming to prioritize equity is wrong, that’s what you should be apologizing for
@mark_gamba @IndivisibleOR5C @ConnollyMer @Skinner1C @JeanLofy @LuthyLiz @mary_chaffin Claiming to be the only one ready to hit the ground running on climate change, while running against a person whose entire culture is protecting the climate, a culture that your people decimated, the climate that your people decimated. Its wrong, thats what you should apologize 4
@mark_gamba @IndivisibleOR5C @ConnollyMer @Skinner1C @JeanLofy @LuthyLiz @mary_chaffin Apologizing for being born is ridiculous, it’s what you do with your privilege after you are born that falls on you. Did you shrug the privilege and power and pass it on did those it was taken from, or did you hold onto it?
@kevinstine@WizKaliko@JamieforOregon I mean, using your friend’s address to become the mayor and then the representative of a district you don’t even live in is pretty fucked up, but not as fucked up as being an old rich white guy and tokenizing Black people on your flyers to beat an indigenous person
