- The me that watched the night that Obama won his first election never foresaw a future so bleak.
- There’s something deeply unsettling about watching Trump encourage people in Iran to rise up and protest—while at the same time defending the killer of a non-violent protestor here at home.
- You can’t credibly champion freedom and dissent abroad while excusing or minimizing violence against peaceful protest on your own soil.
- Reposted by Nick Walden PoublonIt's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
- Don’t look at me. I voted for her. Both times.
- 324 YEARS: Detroit swears in first woman to serve as mayor of the city.
- It's official: Congress and Donald Trump have allowed the enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will either lose their health coverage or face dramatically higher premiums. Shame on Congress. Shame on Trump. This will cost lives.
- After Trump sent unmarked troops into Portland, something unexpected happened: my community grew. People showed up because we’re better when we work together, because Portland is not the dystopia it was painted to be, and because I refuse to be intimidated into silence.
- I am running for office in what local papers call one of the truly flippable district in the state of Oregon. We have a chance to turn a red district BLUE. I'm calling on all Oregonians because when I am sent to Salem I will represent ALL of us. Reply, DM me, reach out!
- Happy New Year!
- Breaking News: Trump has announced that he will remove National Guard Troops from CHICAGO, LOS ANGELES and PORTLAND!
- This is not good news for NASA or the nation. 👇
- Trump said today Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. That claim defies reality and insults the intelligence of anyone paying attention. Russia has invaded Ukraine, targeted civilians, kidnapped children, and attempted to erase a sovereign nation from the map. Trump is lying.
- Breaking news: the people telling us to “calm down” are the exact same people who broke everything and then wandered off like, “Huh. Weird.”
- The greatest gift you can give someone is the freedom to feel safe, seen, and comfortable in their own skin. Each of us has that power. Use it.
- Reposted by Nick Walden PoublonIf you’re looking at who can actually win a purple Gorge district, it’s @nwpinpdx.bsky.social . He’s lived the issues, organized the work and already ran a competitive race. loom.ly/jv6Gjz8
- We’ve officially been together TWENTY-FOUR years. We just keep choosing each other.
- The greatest gift you can give someone is the freedom to feel safe, seen, and comfortable in their own skin. Each of us has that power. Use it.
- LET’S NOT FORGET: Approximately 70% of adults receiving food stamps (SNAP) work 35 hours or more a week. Nobody grows up and dreams of needing foot stamps. SNAP is a safety net we can’t afford to cut.
- I have news for you: I teach. Kids are already coming to school hungry from a lack of food in my district. SNAP running dry will only make that worse. We should be ashamed.

- The irony.
- I’ve never been prouder to be an Oregonian.
- Oliver when he asks a really important question.
- Look — I’ve known grown men who have broken down in tears after going through conversion therapy. And we’re seriously asking if it’s okay for kids? Absolutely not. Never.
- I’m a substitute teacher, health policy expert, uncle, husband — and a candidate to represent Oregon’s beautiful 52nd District in the State House. People always say we need real people in office. Well, here I am. Follow along for the ride — and let’s make Oregon work for everyone.
- Reposted by Nick Walden PoublonTrust an actual Oregonian and not the ill-suited President: Portland, Oregon is not war-ravaged, it is not on fire — the only chaos is being caused by Trump himself.
- OREGON and PORTLAND win AGAIN.
- An emergency motion is going before a judge RIGHT NOW to keep California National Guard troops out of Oregon. Portland isn’t the problem — Trump is. #Portland www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
- Reposted by Nick Walden PoublonThe thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation
- I’m running for office in my native Oregon precisely because of the ugliness in our politics. When things get ugly, more people need to stand up — not step back. I’m standing up for decency, for hope, and for the future we deserve.
- Hey all. I know the folks behind this effort in Wilsonville, Oregon and this looks like an amazing series of speakers if you’re wanting to know more about supporting the transgender community in our state.
- Mina Lemke, Micah Bishop, Dr. Laura LaJoie, Frankie Lane, and Maddy Oiseau share lived experiences, offer insight from family members, and discuss how resources from NAMI Clackamas and @basicrightsoregon.bsky.social can support our transgender community. 👇 www.wilsonvilleoregon.gov/bc-diversity...
- The government shutdown isn’t just politics—it’s economics. Every week it drags on costs our nation $7 BILLION. That’s money lost from families, businesses, and communities. End the chaos. Put people first. #GovernmentShutdown #7Billion www.cbsnews.com/video/govern...

- Reposted by Nick Walden PoublonThe arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
- Looking to FOLLOW BACK those who won’t give up on this country—those ready to help rebuild when this dark chapter closes. There will be an America after MAGA. If you’re ready to head in that direction with me, follow back and let’s get started—today.
- Moldova understood the assignment.
- There are many days where I honestly wonder who adopted who. My Oliver.
- Trump on the war with #Portland: “They’re eating the fruits. They’re eating the vegetables!”
- Portland is a living, breathing city with challenges: housing affordability, homelessness, traffic, safety — but also with thriving neighborhoods, culture, and people working together for a better future. The language of “war zones” and “battlefields” is political theater designed to stoke fear.
- Portland: Stay strong, stay peaceful.
- Reposted by Nick Walden PoublonI’m running for State Representative in 2026. Why? Because I believe we can do better—and we deserve better. Our communities deserve a representative who will roll up their sleeves, do the hard work, and never forget who they’re fighting for. That’s exactly what I intend to do. #orpol
- 2026 will have a lot to do with whether we even have a presidential election in 2028. And that’s a disgusting realization to make.
- The last thing this nation needs is MORE political theater. #WarRavagedPortland

- Just that time that THE Mark Hamill started following me on social media and rooting for my campaign. No big deal.
