I agree with this 100% “Every public servant, from city councilors and Law Enforcement to federal agents to members of the military, is required to follow lawful orders and refuse unlawful ones. That principle has protected this country for generations.”

History is very clear about what we need to do. It doesn't matter if you voted for him. It’s about whether you’ll stand up now.

I believe every generation must stand up for freedom.
This is our moment.
No one should fear being arrested without due process, ever.

Freedom doesn't defend itself.
Call your Representatives.
Demand repeal of the Alien Enemies Act.

Rights aren't optional. #RightsDontExpire

The Alien Enemies Act was written in the era of bayonets and wigs.
It’s being used in 2025 to arrest immigrants — no warrants, no due process.
Rights don't expire. Freedom isn't optional.

You are right. But we will fight it using the 4th amendment amongst other things.
April 26, 2025 at 8:24 PM
This is simply not true. Fourth amendment rights

The Constitution doesn’t enforce itself.
We do.
One letter, one voice, one week at a time.

We don’t need everyone. We need 5.
Find 5 supporters. Ask each to find 5 more.
In 5 levels, you’ve mobilized nearly 4,000.
This is how revolutions start. Trump Dump.

If you feel this—say something. Tag someone. Share it

Jordan 🇯🇴 now. Qatar 🇶🇦 next.
Bold, face-to-face relationship-building rooted in love for community, not formality.
This is what local leadership looks like.

No permission. Just purpose.
Trade, trust, learning, connection—it all starts at the local level. And I’m proud to carry that forward with courage and clarity.

Traveling out of country soon. Diplomacy is breaking from the top. I’m building it from the bottom—face to face, community to community. I’m not traveling on behalf of my city. I’m traveling because of it. Because we belong in these global spaces.

Let’s make our country a place worth visiting again—not just for the sights, but for the spirit. The world is watching. Let’s give them something to come back to. 🇺🇸

Rebuilding trust means changing more than ads. It means shifting tone, restoring decency, and proving that America still knows how to show up with humility and welcome.
April 14, 2025 at 8:51 PM
And there’s a bigger loss: cultural connection. When people stop visiting, we lose chances to build understanding, exchange ideas, and show who we really are.

Tourism Economics says this could cost us $9 billion in international visitor revenue this year alone. That’s jobs lost. Small businesses strained. Cities struggling.
April 14, 2025 at 8:50 PM
This isn’t just about missed vacations. It’s about perception. Rhetoric and policies from the top have made the U.S. feel less welcoming—and people are taking notice.
April 14, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Tourism to the U.S. is down again. Overseas arrivals dropped by 11.6% this March compared to last year. That’s not just a number—it’s a signal. A thread🤔

Forest Grove showed up with heart.

The community, the speakers, and the silent ones with signs — they made this protest powerful. I didn’t organize it, but when no one stepped up to speak, I brought a mic and helped lift the voices that needed to be heard.

I’ve stayed quiet for too long—but silence helps no one. In small towns like mine, DEI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s survival, dignity, and belonging. I’m sharing why I’m speaking out now.

Why I’m Speaking Out: DEI Matters in Rural America.
There’s a lot of noise right now about how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs are somehow hurting people. But let’s cut through the spin and get real.

@aoc.bsky.social large scale assembly protest in DC. I have discussed this with Sen Wydens staff and sent emails to Oregon Reps. The nation is at the breaking point and we need more action.
