👀”At least 66 members of an anti-govt group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in Republican party in #Oregon.
Out in the middle of nowhere is actually somewhere: it's a landscape surrounded by space, and within that space one can walk around outside in one's bathrobe -- or not even that if you please -- and not be seen by the neighbors.
You don't hear their TV or music. No loud cars, or sirens. No shouting, flashing lights, LED advertisements in your face.

Burton is an 85-pound, 3-year-old long-haired German Shepherd. Across his furry black and brown back, he wears a harness that reads, “Please pet,” and at his ceremony, many in attendance did just that.
Dropping off my ballot for today's primary election in #Oregon I encourage you and all your friends who live in the first #VoteByMail state (est. 1999) to vote! It's so easy and convenient!🗳🇺🇲✅

Calling all registered voters in #Oregon tomorrow, Tuesday May 21st, is the Primary Election. It doesn't take much effort to complete and drop off your ballot or have it in the mail before 8:00.🗳🇺🇲✅
Tomorrow is election day for Oregonians. Ballots must be taken to a drop box or postmarked by 8 PM Tuesday, May 21.
All registered voters should have received voters' pamphlets and ballots automatically (I love our vote by mail system ❤️) but here's your reminder in case you stashed them somewhere and forgot.
Local elections can have a big impact!
I spent the morning doing my research and voting at home 😁
📣 #OREGON can be dangerously misleading. On the surface it seems blue but much of the state is radically red. Help ensure Democrats hold onto the centerpiece of the West Coast; donate today! #Blue24
Finished my ballot to drop off tomorrow (VOTE BY MAIL IS THE BEST, at least as long as the US refuses to make voting easier across the board). My primary ballot is Democrat, but the packet they send includes all candidates. A number of Republican state lawmakers were disqualified from running again after walking out of too many sessions last year. It is truly disquieting how many of them are running for other (even higher) offices. November scares me for so many reasons.
in my county we have a moderate running against a J6 dingbat county councilman -- you might have a similar opportunity to improve your community, and given current voter turnout, you could have a disproportionate impact
this weekend is a great time to get that vote in the mail
