It's time to remember the people we've seen forced out of their homes because of the high cost of living here.
This Monday, the 6th, at 6pm, at Bevel Brewing. Let's pour one out for those who have been forced to move away.

Literally the easiest thing to get active locally as a registered #Democrat in Deschutes County is to sign up as a PCP. One hour of work a year and you can choose who gets the party endorsement. #deschutescounty

I would love to see a copy of this business's agreement with the City of Bend. Specifically, I want to see what sort of language around the ADA exists. I am seeing these in sidewalks and curb cuts all over town. #ada #bendoregon

My name is John Heylin, and I’m running for Deschutes County Commission, Position #1.
It is time to have leadership that listens to all of Deschutes County and actively addresses the problems we face. We need a Commission that leads with action, not excuses.

Don't take democracy for granted. It requires constant work, constant refinement, and vigilance. Even taking just 5 minutes to write a letter to the editor is civic action. When the default action for many is to do nothing, any action becomes meaningful.

I asked AI to draw based on our conversations what I would be like in the future, and this is what I got. Not bad. I might need to drop a few pounds though LOL

Not even halfway into this book and I'm already sad and mad. "Rent is a monthly tribute to those with generational wealth."
Gotta cut this with a happy book after this.

At this point I have to come to terms with the fact that this is the closest I'll ever come to owning a Kei Truck in the state of Oregon.

Good turnout for the #ATU Local 757 Union rally. Lots of honks and the #union really appreciated the support before heading into contract negotiations. #deschutes #centraloregon #bend #publictransit

Don't let this fall off your radar! The number of employees locally are small, so that means even one person showing up makes a HUGE difference. A week from today, 8am-10am. I'm bringing Sparrow rolls! #deschutes #bend #union
