If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back. The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

I was in a meeting earlier today where a good friend said: "The barbecue is how we build the community response team." I'll add that that if you can't get 5 people to a meeting, you will not be leading any revolutions.

Kay's Bar & Grill in Sellwood, a neighborhood in Portland, OR. Early February, 2010. I remember the guy at the table stumbling across the street to see what the photographers with the tripods were doing. I'm glad I no longer believe a tripod is needed for urban night stuff. #photography #portland

I also want to reiterate that it took every single Democratic Senator to agree to this deal. A single Democratic Senator could have denied unanimous consent, pushed this into Monday, allowed more time for the discontent to fester. Every Senate Democrat is complicit. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
