My best effort to describe the current precipice we're on, in 2,000 words. I have been a resident of Portland, Oregon since 2007. So I have been hearing from more people than usual lately, all asking the same question: what's going on in Portland? I find myself struggling to give any kind of an answer to this question. As with any substantive answer to a question, so much depends on how broad an effort we want to make in putting it into a sensible context, in terms of both time and space. So I thought I'd make a little stab at that, for what it's worth. But to answer the two really simple questions that are, I think, what most people are looking for: is Portland under martial law? I'd say more like a little test run at this point. And is there are a revolution going on there? No, at least not yet, but time speeds up at such historical junctures, so you never know what's around the corner.
