My imaginings of Cascadia necessarily include #LandBack for the tribal communities. I'm curious if that has ever been a part of the conversations w folks who have been imagining the process of creating a separate state.

Though I don't have a wealth disparity map for Cascadia, this income disparity map proves that the region does not even lead the United States in progressivism, the place is hopeless as a region!

The recall of Chesa Boudin proves conclusively that we have to think far smaller than his district, to places like Moclips, NOT far bigger, to places like Cascadia, so big it is even burdened by overlapping racist land claims! That's in addition to the failure of the Panthers in Oakland.

Sorry, looking up Moclips, I see that it is unincorporated and so has no government to take over, so in that sense it is sort of too small, though there are smaller towns that are incorporated.

Cascadia still has a clear and obvious capitalist majority, so at least for now, we have got to think MUCH SMALLER than an independent and noncapitalist Cascadia, more like an independent Moclips.

Election results in Cascadia just don't come anywhere near supporting your vision. The Panthers couldn't even win Oakland and Cascadia is far bigger than Oakland!
