The average voter is terrible. And half of them are worse than that.

We don’t live in a sane world so best we can hope for is a big fat lawsuit that targets the sheriff personally. Unfortunately it would probably target the county instead and just end up screwing the taxpayers.

Annnnnd, now I’m depressed.

Sue the shit out of that dumbass Sheriff.

Miller (like most vampires) needs SPF 2000 to go out in daylight so he’s better suited to working behind the scenes.

It still matters. A video of peaceful protestors being abused by cops/soldiers/ICE is powerful, and even with all the corporate media in Trump’s pocket, those types of videos still get seen.

Have you considered using a mesh VPN instead of opening a port to the public? Nebula and TailScale are both great options that have a free tier which is more than enough for most home use cases. With Nebula you can even selfhost your discovery node so nothing is cloud-based, but then you’re back to opening firewall ports again.

Anyway, its going to be more secure than even a properly configured reverse proxy setup and way less hassle.

Oregon was originally founded as an all-white state. The PNW has lots of racists and they all live in the stix since they think Portland and Seattle are portals to Hell.

And as far as the Northeast is concerned, I think only Vermont has rural areas that aren’t MAGA.

Those might be nice towns but at this point I’m staying away from any MAGA states, regardless of whether they have islands of sanity in them.

He may be a member of the Republican party but if you just look at his record as governor, you’d probably guess he’s a Democrat. Pro choice, trans rights, thoroughly anti Trump, and even a lot of his tax cuts seem to prioritize relief for the working poor rather than the leech investor class.

Also, this is anecdotal but I’ve spent some time in Vermont and the conservatives there who I met were by and large reasonable, open-minded, and anti-Trump (there were a couple of exceptions but nowhere is perfect).

We are not alone. And we should be getting louder.

Americans don’t want them here either, but Fascists have taken over. They are a minority of the population but have manipulated the dummies and our very flawed election process to impose their will on the rest of us.
