Democracy doesn’t run on autopilot.
It runs on us.
Listening when it’s easier to argue.
Showing up when it’s easier to scroll.
Fixing what’s broken — together.
Democracy requires maintenance.
Care is patriotic.

As a father of three, I worry less about climate and more about what we now accept from leaders. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 63% of us believe harsh rhetoric fuels violence. If those at the top can’t model civility, how can we expect it from anyone else?

Free speech is meant to protect the voices we disagree with, not only our own voices. When silencing becomes the default, it turns a right into a privilege.
If we only defend it when it’s comfortable, we don’t truly believe in it.

If someone doesn’t want the COVID vaccine, that’s their decision. But for those who do, access should be simple and guaranteed. Oregon can’t afford barriers that other states have already solved. Public health should mean available to all, not tangled in red tape.

The state has faced criticism for lacking a standing order that would let pharmacists administer shots without prescriptions.

Families should feel safe at home, not hunted.
Communities thrive on trust, not intimidation.
If you’re alarmed by expanded ICE initiatives and military force in our neighborhoods, you’re not alone.
A better way is possible—if we refuse silence.

Yeah that’s on-brand for this “presidency”…
President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that the United States recognizes “two sexes, male and female” — but according to experts and a significant body of academic research, the definitions he used are oversimplified and inaccurate.
Trump says there are ‘two sexes.’ Experts and science say it’s not binary.
The president’s executive order signaled an intention to narrowly define the sexes, but experts say he is oversimplifying the intricate nature of human biology.
