“We don’t need to be codifying terms that we now know to be offensive and perhaps even racist,” said Nelson, who is Black. “It really is an outdated term. To me, using the word ‘Oriental’ is akin to using the word ‘negro’ or ‘colored.’” #orpol #orleg #endracism

Another Team Nelson bill heads to Governor Kotek’s desk! HB 2940 is a bill that I worked on with the Sickle Cell Foundation of Oregon. It addresses poor outcomes for people with sickle cell by directing OHA to implement an ER protocol for patients. apps.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/Mea…

There is no universe in which Trump didn’t flood Los Angeles with ICE agents, a city famous for resistance and protest, just as Elon Musk publicly tied him to Epstein. Now he’s sending in the National Guard. This isn’t about immigration. It’s about distraction!

Teamed up with my mentor and colleague Senator LewFrederick on getting SB 1098 across the finish line today! This bill makes it clear that books cannot be banned in Oregon due the race or protected class of the author or characters. #orpol #orleg

Our office has done some fantastic work in collaboration with legislative colleauges, on laws that will have a meaningful impact. Our work has centered on the needs of working people, making Oregon healthier & insulating Oregon from federal attacks! koin.com/news/oregon/or…

Proud to be one of the millions of Americans who took to the streets to say that the United States doesn’t need a wanna be king! We don’t need tanks in the streets. We need a government for, of and by the PEOPLE! #NoKingsDay #NoKings #Portland #NoKingsInAmerica

If this continues, America goes de facto bankrupt and all tax revenue will go to paying interest on the national debt with nothing left for anything else.

Two Minnesota leaders were hunted and gunned down at their homes and Trump wont even show a little bit of empathy and make a phone call. 🤦🏾‍♂️ msn.com/en-us/news/new…

Today I’m thinking of the legacy of the great-grandparents of my grandparents, who were slaves in this country & all of those forced to build this country for free. Happy Juneteenth! Take a little time today to learn more about our newest national holiday! #juneteenth2025

We did something historic in the House of Representatives. Every year during a long session, we do dozens of resolutions & opening ceremonies. Yesterday, our legislative chamber passed a resolution recognizing the contributions of Black drag queens to Oregons art & culture.

Let’s be clear….. Juneteenth would have NEVER have become a national holiday if Trump were president and not Biden. Trump has NEVER cared about Black history. In fact, he’s decimated the African American history museum. #Juneteenth #juneteenth2025 ap.org/news-highlight…

I recently appeared on David Medina’s Republican talk show because I refuse to let the right control the narrative. LGBTQ+ people and Black people aren’t predators. We’re Oregonians, and we deserve to be acknowledged and have our needs addressed. #PrideMonth #juneteenth #orleg

Crap… I don’t know about you, but I don’t want a war with Iran. Didn’t Trump promise to keep us out of wars when he ran against Kamala? 🙄 nytimes.com/live/2025/06/2…

I will not stop speaking up for & making space for the marginalized. This past week has had its highs & lows. Just know this, my being called names like the N or F words won’t deter me. Getting in good trouble is worth it! #orpol #orleg #drag #juneteenth ⁦Alt-Oregonizers

Yes Juneteenth is about freedom & independence from slavery. However, it is also about remembering the promises made to Black people after slavery ended and justice due for decades of Jim Crow & intentional Black exclusion. #Juneteenth #Blackhistory #JimCrow #Justice #USHistory
