Anna Paulina Luna voted six times to continue the Iran war. Now we might know why. Her husband owns 10% of Nokturnal AI, a drone startup she valued at just $1,000 in 2025 that has since raked in $37 million in Pentagon contracts. Coincidence? We don’t think so. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Americans deserve a Congress that works for them, not for special interests or personal portfolios,” the Florida Republican said in 2025. Then the federal contracts started rolling in.

This is hilarious, but it’s simultaneously disturbing thinking about how many of my elder neighbors in my district are online a lot and may be fooled by these racist, sock puppet accounts.

Rating a couple underdogs to keep republicans off Portland City Council and Multnomah County Chair feeeeeels AWESOME!
lauren@lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com · 21h agomaybe ranked choice voting isn't a perfect system, I don't know. but denying a republican a 4th or 5th choice vote does actually feel better than simply not voting for republicans. I don't know why
This is so cute and informative! Drop your ballot off at an official ballot box. Jamey Evenstar for Portland City Council!

More Perfect University@mpuniversity.bsky.social · yesterdayTrans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:
A lil news: AFSCME Local 88, the largest union representing Multnomah County employees, has rescinded its endorsement of Julia Brim-Edwards for county chair. This comes a week after @basicrightsoregon.bsky.social reversed its endorsement.
Not for nothing but PBS does election night coverage and we work really really really hard on it. Union shop as well!

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.
Thomas Massie and I led the fight against US-Israel military integration in the House. Now, we are continuing the fight to remove Section 219 from the National Defense Authorization Act. We must protect American sovereignty.
Solidarity with these workers who keep Portland functioning day after day. They deserve all our support.

Oregon cannot make anymore concessions to an industry that was always a giant grift, that produces nothing, and that causes real harm to people and our planet.
More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: Anthropic reports an $80 billion net loss in the first half of 2026.
Which is exactly why Portland leaders should not waive the clause. It came with the team he bought, so if Dundon doesn't like it, that's 100% on him. Given his behavior and the heat local reps are taking the deal isn't getting any sweeter. And he's got nowhere else better to go.
The Oregonian@oregonian.com · 3d agoNegotiations between Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon and Portland officials have stalled over a $1 billion settlement demand tied to the team's first-class arena maintenance clause, with Dundon pushing for a 10-year buyout option rather than the required 20-year lease commitment. https://mrf.lu/2bWJc
We cannot allow wealthy investors to dictate public policy! This guy is buying up Portland’s biggest buildings and now owns/controlls approximately 2.5 million square feet of commercial and mixed-use space.

PGE is trying to cut down 20 acres of Forest Park to expand electrical transmission for Data Centers. We need leaders ready to meet this moment & defend our forests and waterways from uninhibited Data Center Expansion. That’s why I’m running for Portland City Council on a 4 Year AI Data Center Ban.
It really pisses me off to see all these paid lobbyists testifying at city hall - stalling & spreading misinformation - while the Portlanders most affected are stuck at work or home taking care of our kids.
59% of Portland voters have a negative impression of Blazers owner Tom Dundon. 33% very negative. Only 5% positive (1% very positive). If I'm a local rep hoping to get re-elected, I'm looking for an out for the deal on the table.
The Oregonian@oregonian.com · 3d agoA new poll shows only 7% of Oregon voters view Tom Dundon favorably. In Portland, 59% see the Blazers owner negatively as arena talks remain heated. https://mrf.lu/2bws4

Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 2d agoThe first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...
If you want electeds who will guard your tax payer dollars and ensure they’re used for your benefit, vote for me and Tiffany in District 3! Ballots must be mailed in by 10/27 at the latest, or put in a drop box by 11/3
Watching testimony at the Portland Housing and Permitting Committee yesterday, it was glaringly obvious that the only people opposed are people who directly profit from natural gas, ppl paid to be there, and apt owners who want to continue collecting rent w/o investing to keep tenants safe.
Nothing about the way Dundon behaves surprises me at all. But the way our D4 reps like Clark and Zimmerman behave on this issue is actually embarrassing.

This weekend, a website popped up outlining how a host of GOP and "Portland conservative" donors are propping up candidates using progressive language to oust progressives. Today, @portlandmercury.com spoke with the creator, candidates, and backers to hear why state data analysis reveals an overlap.
