[Portland Mercury 🗞 @portlandmercury]

A petition urging more resources for Portland Street Response got nearly 11,000 signatures, but internal memos show budget constraints still threaten the program. A former employee warns of perpetual morale issues unless city leaders right the ship. https://t.co/evpDxXY9fR

Indigenous Nations doing the right thing on behalf of our precious fish relations while colonial governments say they will work with/co-manage with us, but ultimately their colonial governance structures are not designed to give up control. #nativesinstem https://t.co/YbsDFv96f1

[ILWU Local 5 @ILWULocal5]

The results are in: with 92% approval, the workers at @Powells have voted to authorize a strike! What this means, what you can do to help, and what happens next… 🧵

[Oregon Nurses Association @OregonNurses]

Congratulations to the physicians at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland who won their union vote yesterday! These hospitalists will now gain collective bargaining rights—meaning the hospital administration will be obligated to meet and negotiate in good faith...

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

‘Gifted’ kids who seem to be thriving may need your support. Many gifted kids are Autistic, ADHD and/or otherwise neurodivergent, working extra hard and ‘over’ achieving to make up for challenges they face (that you may not notice). Please check in with them before they burn out.

[Myk is going to Vibecamp @mykola]

A lot of people who claim to be intersectional feminists don’t know the first thing about disability — an intersection that impacts 25% of humanity in often deeply marginalizing ways.

I want to talk about about house work, an issue central to feminist critique and to disability.

It's important to note that PSR did not "grow so fast out of the gate" as Comm Gonzalez claims—it was methodically scaled up after a year long pilot and extensive research. Do not accept this revisionist version of PSR's story! The time is NOW to give it the resources it needs!

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Accommodating disabled people is not giving an advantage to disabled people.
It is leveling the playing field to undo discriminatory and exclusionary barriers.

[Portland Drug Users Union @PdxDUU]

Drug users are some of the most knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind people out there.

Don't let anyone try to convince you they aren't ❤️

[Mending Bloc @mendingbloc]

[Spirited Justice @spiritedjustice]

Just a reminder, mutual aid needs never end and yes people do need food late at night and even through the night. We have to take care of us.
