After making an unannounced visit to the Zenith Energy terminal, the state DEQ will pause issuing the oil transport company an air quality permit renewal. The decision comes after years of environmental advocacy, which the DEQ acknowledged. portlandmercury.com/news/2024/11/1…

I’m begging yall to fund local repro orgs instead. I understand the fear that a lot of folks must be feeling but we’ve got to slow down and think. This level of individualism is why we’re in the mess we’re in. It’s time to build community care networks.

i’m so seriously about to buy a box per paycheck until i can’t anymore

Editorial: "Rene Gonzalez has repeatedly shown a lack of compassion or real leadership when it comes to Portland’s homelessness crisis, instead showcasing willful opposition to any solutions that don’t involve sweeps, jail, or fines." portlandmercury.com/election-guide…

EO Media Group announced today that the company is being sold to Carpenter Media Group. We are immensely disappointed not to be locally owned anymore.

Oh, look... an exhaustive time line of all the scandals. blunders, and power plays of mayoral candidate and commissioner Rene Gonzalez. (And just in time for election season!) A must-read before casting your vote. 👀 portlandmercury.com/election-guide…

ICYMI: During Tuesday's mayoral debate, Rene Gonzalez admitted he doesn't regret using taxpayer dollars to clean up his extreme image on his Wikipedia page. #DontRankRene

Corporate greed is Boeing eliminating health care for striking workers, laying-off 10% of its workforce & ending pensions while it spent $43 billion on stock buybacks & its two disgraced CEOs receive over $100 million in golden parachutes after 346 passengers died on their watch.

IUOE Local 701 has added Bigfoot Beverages to our Bad Bosses List! Shame on Bigfoot Beverages for threatening striking workers and attempting to illegally remove pension benefits. shametheboss.org/badbosseslist/

We stand with the Bigfoot Beverages Teamsters as they strike against ULPs. Bigfoot Beverages is a Bad Boss, so we decided to let the community know with Greedy Pig on the picket line. Shame on Bigfoot Beverages! 📸: M5N5D @Teamsters . . #ShameTheBoss #ShameOnBigfootBeverages

Bigfoot Beverages treatment of striking workers is despicable. Shame on Bigfoot Beverages! shametheboss.org/badbosseslist/

No worker should have to fear losing their pension while on strike ✊ teamster.org/2024/10/teamst…

Dolores Huerta is an American labor leader, a civil rights activist, and the co-founder of the @UFWupdates During Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to recall and celebrate the incredible contributions made to the labor movement by activists like Huerta. #HispanicHeritageMonth

This is HUGE for PNW journalism. Let's hope these kind of contract wins (tech. a TA) start to set the standard for other newsrooms, so we can continue to have excellent journalists covering our communities.

We did it! Noisy Union won raises of at least 20 percent and a new wage floor of $70k. Bringing everyone up to $70k means a $15k raise for some of our members!

Great news from our @NoisyUnion unit. Great job to the unit leaders and membership. And as always, when we fight, we win! ✊
