Division of labor has been common to most collections of humans since at least Mesopotamia. We don’t deal with the dismantling of social trust by retreating from society!

It’s almost like when politicians listen to their constituents instead of corporations (like PGE) we can protect this beautiful little earth we live on!!! Thank you Portland City Council for defending Forest Park 🥲.
We'll be here posting live from the Portland City Council appeal hearing re: PGE's permit to destroy 5 acres of mature trees, streams, and wetlands in Forest Park. Huge crowd of ~250 people are here at a rally just before the hearing begins. Wide range of speakers and attendees. #pdx

Joining positive political movements in the city that I live has been the one thing giving me hope. #ThinkGloballyActLocally

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
