Vadim Mozyrsky running for @JoAnnPDX position, paints himself as a "progressive", while using Right-wing outrage & copaganda to get votes. He went on far-right christian podcast, Slavic Vote, founded by homophobe Dmitry Sashchenko, who was just at #QAnon reawaken America
Thread🧵

Somehow Vadim feels like being endorsed by the Portland Business Alliance (PBA), multiple developers & Real Estate associations makes him look good. I guess it looks good for those that matter, the millionaires & billionaires. PBA will come back into play later

Vadim was one of only a few people (including @save_pdx who leaked fake Joann hit & Run) to testify against re-allocating police funds to community. He regurgitates falsity that spike in gun violence is caused by budget cut, even though violent crime has spiked nationwide.
3/

When Vadim spoke at anti-homeless LNLA group he went along with all the misinformation about homeless being bussed here & DA not prosecuting crimes. Only 143 of 2000 unsheltered came here for services. He agrees to criminalize those that don't go to shelters.

Vadim is a leader of Portland Safety Action Coalition(PSAC) & suprise his org endorsed him. Commander Erica Hurley told LNLA members to join PSAC at the same meeting she violated state election laws at. PSAC promotes PPB video on their website about police staffing "shortage"
5/

PSAC also shares right wing propaganda, including tweet by racist @DrewHLive. Drew thinks it's okay to use the N-word, made false accusations about catholic charities sex trafficking migrants and called for civil war against the left

PSAC includes former cop, Mark Wells, LNLA chair, David Potts & PBA board member, Tiffany Hammer. Mozysrky & Hammer are on Goosehollow NA. Hammer planted rose bushes in 2019 to prevent homeless from sleeping on ODOT property. They supported $1M in boulders that replaced bushes

Vadim continually talks about his work on police accountability committees (CRC/PCCEP) as a way to win over votes, but he has been noted to be a barrier to meaningful police reform and accountability on those committees.
8/

Mark Wells, Jesse Burke & Tiffany Hammer are all on PBA. Burke & PBA endorsed Vadim. Wells & Hammer work with Vadim on PSAC. Stan Penkin endorsed him. Penkin is Pres of PSAC and chair of Pearl NA that got the city to clamp down on protests. Then protest washed their windows
9/

Can't forget when anarchists vandalized the democratic party office after Bidens election, he called the protest "anti-democracy" protests. I think most agree that our one party system that elected Biden is not democracy.

He tows the line for the police while acting like he wants to see police accountability. We see this with his efforts to get police body cams.
