I live near Portland and I first met you at the zine fest at PSU, i think last year? This made reading this even more interesting to me. The way you highlight that the way DHS communicates with the public is not normal, really shocks me. I’m used to writing politicians and receiving lies and excuses masked as a legitimate response, but what you describe is actual madness. Thank you so much for making this.
Thank you so much for reading and for sharing your thoughts! Yeah, in my experience you can expect comms people to at least show professionalism. No such thing with DHS.
Thank you so much for this contribution, Cooklin! It's powerful to hear the perspective from a journalist who has seen a lot like you have. Take care!
