Policy for Protest 🌹

Evidenced Based Policy, not selective use of facts. Exposing anti-people policy as an act of protest.

I’ll be checking back each day for election result changes in Oregon but the daily series of tweets about Oregon policies will be on hold while we research the November ballot hopefuls and current petitions. Stay tuned!

@tarenfeist You’re asking the legislators who most frequently seek to understand the least to offer plain lecturer explanations of legislation?

[Kadott @Kadotttt]

You don’t hate socialism. You hate the version that was explained to you by someone who owns 4 houses and 3 yachts

@ShadesOfPunky Here is the text, looks like it’s the bill for you:

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

@KevinSabet If you’re attacking it from that direction, would you support a loan program only available for first time, black business owners to open Cannabis dispensaries?

The complaint here neglects context; the bill addressed arrests but cannot address historic systemic racism.

Medicare for all, debt-free college: Oregon senators reveal plans for Democratic-controlled Congress https://t.co/H3bG55EDzb

It’s actually vital to understand that Andy Ngo and his output are 10x more hateful than laughing at a joke made by another person.

Ngo frequently stands up for vile hate speech unless it’s in defense of his ideological opponents. He is telling you his tactic in this tweet.

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

It’s actually vital that Jennifer Welch and her show face severe social and professional consequences.

All other rights and democratic norms are undermined, and ultimately destroyed, if an assassination culture is allowed to take root and spread any further.

I’m adding “does this person or policy group pay @neeratanden for consulting” in my list of questions to identify future political/ policy work nonstarters.

Neera just advocates for the world the Manhattan Institute dreams up but says it to Dems who admire names on her CV.

[Clipping Wings @ClippingWings]

Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:

The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.

It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

This just in, now that the blue wave has happened and it wasn’t a sign the party was moving to the right, the conservatives who wore a blue mask are going back to their preferred party of hate.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

After 523 days, my time as a Democrat has ended. Thank you Democrats, it’s been an honor to fight alongside you. I explain myself here. Give it a read. Thanks.👇 https://t.co/rtncXh1PeI

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

66% want Medicare for All
61% want a billionaire wealth tax
57% want a $20/hour minimum wage
63% want a data center moratorium
58% want to end military aid to Israel
73% want to ban super PACs
79% want a 10% credit card interest rate cap

No more excuses. Democrats must deliver.

@tarenfeist You have a lot of trouble understanding things that, by definition of what you are criticizing right now, most others do not.

Drazan would have been terrible for Oregon. She was terrible as a legislator, too.

All criticism held for Kotek, but context matters.

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

Incredibly curious to me that the @ORGovEthics commissioner quoted as saying this ethics case is a “nothing burger” is the business partner and long time friend of the accused’s campaign manager.

Has Commissioner Burke disclosed his relationship with the @burnettmedia owner?

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

‘Radical’ comes from a Latin word meaning "root."

Because roots are the deepest part of a plant, ‘radical’ came to describe things understood as fundamental or essential.

‘Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

@Jeff_Eager “Less affected” and saying “willing to vote accordingly” shows you don’t actually understand what this is measuring.

More people shifted to towards the left in all but a few counties. This means more people voted in recognition that the right wing politicians are to blame.

@KevinSabet I know you like to make up evidence and often bend stats. Where is your proof?

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

@KevinSabet Wow. It’s such an indictment of… ?

You are criticizing a state with both stringent liquor control and more strict cannabis laws.

No one denies health impacts, but you are always more okay with people going to prison rather than safer access. It’s gross, Kevin.

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

@oregoncitizen_ I’m going to say this again and again. you have zero clue what you are talking about.

No one ever has denied the health impacts who is involved in the policy space. You have repeatedly made claims that make it clear to me how uninformed and uninvolved you were in policy.

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

Okay dude.

I feel bad for this intern. Imagine being tasked with posting how your workplace is not listening to a majority of Americans.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

It is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.

[Policy for Protest 🌹 @PolicyProtest]

@luxeprogressive Honestly, creating a caucus of Hunks to get bills over the finish line is such a smart strategy. Send every guy with a badonk and meaty thighs in the legislature to the Oval Office and by March we’ll have UBI.
