I’m a public defense lifer, moved to the PNW from KY a few years ago to be closer to these mountains. I’m here for pretty pictures and clever, not hateful takes. Always wondered what people would do during the fall of the American Empire…so, taking notes.

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.
