Thank you to everyone who showed support and #PATsolidarity with #Portland #teachers as we went on #strike for #students, 95% of us teachers voted to ratify our new contract guaranteeing the end of the strike! #union #UnionStrong #Oregon

hadeny, 6 months ago to portland

Come and show #PATsolidarity and tell #PPS Board of Ed that their rejection of a bargain recommended by THEIR OWN BARGAINING TEAM is a disservice to #Portland #students as #teachers continue to #strike for them. You can meet at Multnomah Co offices for 3:30, teachers are ready to go to the #table, is the district?! #Oregon #union #UnionStrong #OneDayLongerOneDayStronger

Today, bargaining #Portland #teachers approved of a deal and the bargaining team for #PPS did too, but when it came down to it THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO REJECT THE PROPOSAL THEIR BARGAINING TEAM RECOMMENDED! We’re coming close to week 4 of the #strike, and with all this time I hope our community sees who is pushing to get students back to schools in a successful fashion and who is not. Expect more information regarding this afternoon’s action soon! #PATsolidarity #Oregon #UnionStrong

#Oregon really needs to do a better job at funding #education, from the #Portland #teacher #strike exposing the need for stronger supports for #students to newly announced #layoffs coming to Salem-Keizer #school district it is clear that if Oregonians want great schools for all then our legislators need to get it done. https://opb.org/article/2023/11/15/salem-keizer-schools-layoffs-budget-cuts-in-december/

#Idaho Banned #Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.

Since the #SupremeCourt overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum #Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.

I've been walking around with a huge grin on my face all day because of the #rain, but I keep talking to people who are depressed about it.

These people often turn out to be #PDX natives. They all have some kind of seasonal affect that I haven't yet developed.

Live in #California, leave before it makes you soft.

Live in #Portland, leave before it makes you soggy.

Y'all native #Portland folx are weird, get a little splash of rain in late August and start looking at your scarves are mittens like a lost soulmate returned.

But when late February rolls around and the sun peaks out in one parking lot on the other side of town, y'all suddenly forget it's still 40 out and start rocking shorts and t-shirts everywhere
