Well, it was another fascinating week in the world of politics. “Noem-more” Kristi! But is her replacement any improvement? Only time, and our diminishing free press, will tell. Then there’s the “I can’t believe it’s not a WAR war” raging in the Middle East. And then there’s congress…
The important thing for Oregon is that except for a few of our reps, we have legislators who are suiting up and showing up.
The good news here? We persist. We continue to grow in numbers and in tenacity. We organize. We show up. And we can’t be shut up. We are Indivisible. And wepush back.
