Here’s what we talked about this morning:

Conversations we are having with activists on the other side of the political spectrum here in Tillamook County. One comment stood out: “What seems to be working is kindness. They seem to be completely unprepared for it – just nothing in their playbook for responding to kindness and humility on our side.”
An upcoming Community Conversation about Community Safety. Most of us were interested in attending, and some hoped that the topic might appeal to our right-wing neighbors, but with apprehension that if they do show up, they might approach the subject by demonizing marginalized people.
The great work being done by the Tillamook County Pioneer to bring voices and opinions from all sides into the ongoing conversation our community has via letters to the editor and articles submitted by Tillamook County residents.
The gratitude we feel in knowing that, at least as of today, no one in our country is completely above the law.
