I feel seen!

(Personal feelings towards Gov. Ferguson notwithstanding)

I'm hoping at this point the West can just pull together. Need to get out of Nevada it sucks here. Environment conservation is my dream career :(

A bill pre-filed in the Oregon legislature would allow the governor to hold back money owed to the federal government if federal funds appropriated to Oregon are withheld by the US government in "contravention of a valid court order."

There’s a pretty common joke in the poly community about the “greater west coast polycule,” finally threw this together about it.

Also something something Pacifica I guess

It looks great and it feels right.

Congratulations everyone, Cascadia has taken over the entirety of the former U.S.

I've changed my mind -- I now think Oregon and Washington should ask Congress to transfer management of federal forest land to the states -- in order to prevent Trump's goal to clear-cut 4 billion board feet of timber across the West.

Sooo when we doing this thing?

Cascadia is my home, it is the land I was born on, and if lucky where I will pass. It is the region I have grown up in and loved and cherished for years. Were it ever to be beset by enemies to its held values, I would gladly forfeit my life in service of its continuation.

It does a disservice and disrespect to the many many efforts of this community, of the people who have furthered this idea and its purpose for years to disseminate uncoordinated and unprofessional flags with sentiments that run directly or unintentional counter to this movements aims. I appreciate that there is energy and joy for the some of this movements ideas that have spread, but please understand that if you are new to this movement, it is not without deeply held meaning and significance to people who call Cascadia home.

I am glad may folks from California and other states see our progress as a community and recognize the great pride and strong will of Cascadians, but please respect what has been built before your engagement with these ideas, so that its progress and continued identity can become stronger and resonate for years to come.

Respectfully,
A Cascadian

They just snatched another person last night.

A Turkish national here fully legally not just attending but *working* at Tufts, grabbed offsite, nobody knows where Rumeysa Ozturk is. There is footage of her being taken but no information from ICE on her whereabouts or any stops made along the way to where she might be right now.

This happened in Portland OR in 2020 when they were grabbing dozens of people off the streets except they took pictures of everyone's ID and fingerprinted them all before releasing them. Summer is coming and they've turned focus onto Oregon with at least two of the EO (mail in voting termination and natural resource exploitation); my fear is that they're going to use those lists in an attempt to sweep Portland.

Can more people file FOIA requests on the numbers of people they collected personal data on back in 2020 so they can be warned? At the least the total numbers of people they kidnapped, albeit temporary (just long enough to get their pictures, etc), can be made accessible to people who may be impacted as well as other uninformed people who might care about such things.

Any socially conscious lawyers reading this subreddit - it would be pretty cool to get some advice or maybe they can sort of wander off and quietly submit the document that I have no idea how to submit and even if I did I got no money and/or connections to fight the federal government.
