We have also been clear about our intent to investigate circumstances involving federal agents to ensure they are accountable to acting within the scope of their official duties. Today's incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure that the rights and security of Oregonians are protected." The Oregon DOJ is opening a formal investigation into an incident in Portland in which two people were shot and injured during an encounter with federal agents. The investigation will look into whether any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority and will include witness interviews, video evidence, and other relevant materials. If evidence of criminal conduct is found, cases may be referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney for potential prosecution. #PDX #Oregon #DHS #CBP #ICE https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/863/418/402/866/572/original/eb5afa2686fde8f9.jpeg https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/863/418/670/516/277/original/2ba0dacbef29f552.jpeg https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/115/863/418/921/079/528/original/5d7ac131d6e687aa.jpeg npub14zr9f0v04wlzzy2w0v5zhwfu0ser08srv3mxp5qsk2dtkfce833s2nkydw Voline #PDX #Oregon From the Portland DSA’s Bluesky account: No War for Oil!

It’s been quite surreal to receive texts from friends asking questions like, Do you think I can get away with sharing this photo of an elderly woman being arrested at a protest and describing her as “brave”?

Then, they administered the mystery substance on the burning. Neither I, nor the direct testers knew what it was. There was just a number on an otherwise unlabeled bottle. Only the experiment administrators had the key to which bottle contained what. That's the definition of double-blind. Subjects rated pain on a 1-10 scale before the antidote-candidate was applied, then at intervals afterward. The Black Cross Healthcare Collective did this all summer, trying various substances. npub14zr9f0v04wlzzy2w0v5zhwfu0ser08srv3mxp5qsk2dtkfce833s2nkydw Voline PEPPER SPRAY PAIN RELIEF I was a volunteer subject in these randomized, double-blind trials to find a treatment for pepper spray discomfort. The only thing found to be better than water was a 1:1 solution of water and liquid antacid — aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide-based, such as Maalox or Mylanta. Use plain or mint, but a physician and street medic friend asked me to stress that *mint* is best. “The Black Cross Healthcare Collective was a group of healthcare workers who lived in Portland, Oregon. They formed after the WTO protests of 1999, after seeing a need for medical care that specifically served people who were attending direct actions, demonstrations and political protests.” "In the early 2000s they pioneered community-supported trials to find an antidote to pepper spray. These trials resulted in an antidote that has been used in street protests internationally.” #LA #ICE https://itdidhappenherepodcast.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/fight-the-power-do-no-harm-the-story-of-the-black-cross-healthcare-collective/ npub14zr9f0v04wlzzy2w0v5zhwfu0ser08srv3mxp5qsk2dtkfce833s2nkydw Voline Longshoremen in France refuse to handle spare parts for machine guns bound for Israel!

So, the owners are the members (I'm one), but control, management, is otherwise pretty standard hierarchy of a board of directors and a CEO and managers under her. The Board is full of the usual corporate executives and non-profit-industrial-complex-types. Workers have no more power than in a C-corp. So the shop workers are subject to the usual poor treatment that other wage-laborers are. The REI workers have been trying to unionize with the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW). They have been having a hard time getting their first contract from REI. Three seats on the board have become vacant. The member-owners were to vote to decide who fills them. Some members nominated candidates who are sympathetic to the union and environmental causes. But they were left off the ballot that management sent to members. The ballot only listed three candidates favored by management: one per seat. Our choices were either a corporate shill or "withhold" our approval. The workers requested that members vote "withhold" to show our displeasure with the state of affairs in REI. And "withhold" won for all three seats! ✊🏼 #union #PDX #Seattle https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2025/05/rei-members-reject-three-board-candidates-a-rebuke-to-co-ops-leadership.html npub14zr9f0v04wlzzy2w0v5zhwfu0ser08srv3mxp5qsk2dtkfce833s2nkydw Voline Hold on a minute.

Wow if there's such broad and passionate hatred for the private health insurance industry in the US, you'd think someone would run for office on a platform of replacing it with some national health insurance program like all other wealthy countries have. I'll bet that would be pretty popular. You could call it something catchy like “Single-Payer” or “Medicare for All”.

Problem with allowing Tankies in your group or coalition, no matter what nominal cause you are organizing around, their *primary* interest in it is as a vehicle to promote their organization. Because they believe that the ultimate solution to all problems is supremacy of their Party. In Seattle, all the direct actionists, had one goal: shut down the Ministerial. That's it. No one was conniving to get their people on the Steering Committee. (There was no such hierarchy). No one was worried how the DA would look on the news. If the media would be able to use any of it to make them look bad, and so hurt their recruitment/or relationship with electeds. npub14zr9f0v04wlzzy2w0v5zhwfu0ser08srv3mxp5qsk2dtkfce833s2nkydw Voline There's a demo tomorrow.

One month later: Portland in June 2000. PORTLAND POLICE LOSE FLEET OF OLD SQUAD CARS TO ARSON A purposely set fire in a city lot damages 23 vehicles that the bureau intended to sell Saturday, June 3, 2000 A fire that damaged 23 out-of-service Portland police cars in a city lot early Friday was arson, fire investigators said. The blaze at Southeast 11th Avenue and Madison Street was started using some type of accelerant, but officials said the cause was still under investigation. The fire, reported at 3:44 a.m., caused an estimated $200,000 damage. All of the cars had been driven at least 100,000 miles and were in the process of being sold, said Neil Heesacker, a spokesman for the Portland Fire Bureau. Investigators found graffiti on the lot that said "No justice, no peace," but Heesacker said they did not yet know whether the slogan was connected to the fire. Rodger Johnson, the city's director of vehicle services, said vandals torched two police cars in a North Portland lot a few months ago but that he had no indication the two fires were connected. Johnson said the city was in the process of trying to sell the 23 cars to other agencies. If no buyers had emerged, the city would have stripped the cars of their overhead lights, bars, cages and other law enforcement components and sold them at a public auction. Mayor Vera Katz condemned the incident. "I am shocked and outraged -- as all taxpayers should be -- that someone would show such blatant disregard and contempt for the law," Katz said in a written statement. "Taxpayers are now looking at footing a bill between $100,000 (and) $200,000 to pay for the ruthless pranks of some destructive individuals. This is wrong, and I am committed to finding those responsible and ensuring they are held accountable." Copyright 2000 Oregon Live ________________ The culprits were never found. Sorry, Vera.
