New - A Portland activist delivered a petition with 19,000+ signatures demanding the city revoke the ICE permit. The city had her arrested. Days later, a councilor proposed allowing council members to openly carry firearms while conducting city business in response.

@alissaazar I noticed the piece doesn't mention whether the officials in question were Republicans or Democrats. Given that it's Portland, I'll bet that it's Democrats.

They are just as much fascists as the Republicans are. Don't forget that.

@Quasit @alissaazar that is likely because Portland city council elections are officially non-partisan, and therefore councilors' party memberships are not technically relevant to their jobs. but also yes, most likely all mentioned are Dems (I only really looked into my own district in the last election because there were way too many candidates to check the rest, and the few openly GOP/conservative candidates were practically a joke)

@Quasit yeah democrats. I believe Angelita Morillo and Mitch Green are members of DSA. Maybe more. Them and Tiffany Koyama Lane were all endorsed by portland DSA
