She/her. Part time classicist. I spend a lot of time thinking about ancient Rome but not the way you think.
Apparently, that all people are created equal, and that they are endowed by the fact of that creation with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Oh yes, I agree! It’s so rare to disagree with his conclusions that it stands out for me. But Caesar is making decisions with an eye toward what happened in 52 and although under normal circumstances I’d agree that no Roman jury would convict him, these aren’t normal circumstances.

Portland is a peaceful, vibrant city with no need for federal agents on our streets. I urge Oregonians not to fall into Trump’s attempt to incite violence. Just as I did in 2020, I will lead our delegation and state officials to oppose any unjustified increase in federal forces.

How do you, as one of top elected representatives of the people of California, plan to oppose and undo this? Now would be a good moment to show some practical leadership.
