On my way to the #OregonCoast, the beginning of Route 18 and everything else. Excited about my new book project, telling the stories of #veterans and the fallen from the wars in #Afghanistan and #Iraq. Meditating on the last wars as the current war unfolds.

Was at the federal court house in Portland again with my daughter this evening. @tedwheeler spoke, demanding that federal forces end their occupation. All very peaceful etc as usual. Until unidentified paramilitary soldiers began firing on the crowd. #PortlandProtests
General Granger's Order specifies that "all slaves are free." The US did a pretty good job of enforcing that. The next line specifies that this "involves an absolute equality" of rights between former slave-owners and former slaves. We have a lot of work to do. Happy #JUNETEENTH
This morning I woke up in a curfew. After paramilitary forces had beaten bystanders, arrested journalists, and enflamed protests. Protesters were responding to an ongoing government practice of murdering members of ethnic minorities in broad daylight. #ThisIsAmerica
