@ai6yr We overwhelmed them in Salem, #oregon. There were ~15 of them and at least 300 of us. They were a little ways down from the lot. They tried to gin up some fights with the early arrivals, then left during the first hour. They, with their big Trump Truck, and a few randoms drove by and tried to provoke us, flippping us off with their phones in hand, etc. The scariest moment was when one of them suddenly cut across the lanes right toward us, then straightened out at the last second.

"New bill proposes repealing vote-by-mail in Oregon, public invited to testify"

It looks like this bill would make in-person voting default and folks would need to request mail ballots. Our current system sends out all ballots by mail automatically.

There's a 48 hour window to submit a public comment:

I don't know how much support this bill has but I wrote comment opposing it just in case.

Perhaps the first thing one noticed was the singing of the birds -- a happy, gentle chirping that filled the air with merriness.

Or maybe it was the scenery itself, the undulating hills filling one's sight with their strength and timelessness.

Or perhaps it was both, since one can hear and see at the same time . . .
