TIMELINE
FEBRUARY 9, 2025 — ONGOING
FEBRUARY — MARCH 2025: ABUSE AND DISMISSAL
- February 9, 2025Kati Baker responds dismissively to operational questions about power outage protocols. I send follow-up email naming her tone. Same day: Ryan Warren confronts me alone, cataloging first-week mistakes. I try to reset.
- February (ongoing)Systematic undermining of supervisor relationships. Logan Bliss elicits trust through reciprocal vulnerability, then distances himself. I document the pattern with the "Trust" email on March 2.
- March 5, 2025Ryan Warren and Kati Baker summon me to public picnic table for over an hour of psychological pressure. Ryan tells me to "chew glass and swallow it," admits I was never given benefit of the doubt, repeatedly suggests I leave. Entire meeting recorded.
- March 10, 2025Allison Watson calls about March 5 recording, informs me I was "acting as an agent of the state," establishes notification requirements. Follow-up call: tells me to "get through my time," dismisses documented abuse.
- March 18, 2025Unidentified man approaches me while cleaning yurts alone, interrogates me about leadership treatment. I document immediately with Kati. Explained as "IT photo documentation" — no photos ever produced.
- March 24, 2025Ryan Warren dismisses me by phone, six days before scheduled completion. Stated reason: homeless man's lost journal. One hour later: arrives at my RV to collect keys, admits on camera no formal documentation exists.
- March 25, 2025Allison Watson calls to contain the situation. Logan's disclosures weaponized as "concerning behavior." Complete refusal to engage with documented abuse. I record the call.
- March 26, 2025I send detailed letter to Allison attempting accountability. Hours later: permanent dismissal from all Oregon State Parks volunteer programs, explicitly citing my public speech about the abuse.
AUGUST — DECEMBER 2025: SILENCE AND ESCALATION
- August 16, 2025Escalate March 18 encounter to Director Lisa Sumption with full documentation. No response.
- August 22, 2025Submit comprehensive public records request. OPRD remains silent for 90 days.

- November 15, 2025Issue Notice of Violation for OPRD's failure to respond to public records request.
- November 18, 2025Governor Tina Kotek's office sent formal complaint.
- November 20, 2025OPRD responds claiming they posted response to inaccessible internal portal on August 29. Cost estimate: tens of thousands of dollars. I withdraw the request.
- December 7, 2025Send final message to Director Sumption. She responds December 8, reframing documentation as emotional processing, closes communication.
- December 10, 2025Send letter naming Logan's betrayal to Logan Bliss. CC: Kati Baker, Ryan Warren, Allison Watson, Lisa Sumption.

JANUARY — FEBRUARY 2026: LEGAL NOTICE AND INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE
- January 16, 2026Send formal notice to Allison Watson citing 42 U.S.C. § 1983, documenting personal liability for First Amendment retaliation. Demand written reversal of expulsion, independent investigation, and acknowledgment of constitutional violation. Deadline: March 26, 2026 — one year from expulsion date.
- February 9, 2026Send additional letter to Allison Watson, subject "Harm." Name the full pattern of abuse and retaliation directly. Establish that institutional silence and reframing are themselves ongoing harm.
- February 13, 2026Deputy Director J.R. Collier writes to redirect all correspondence away from Allison Watson and other named staff. Letter characterizes documented First Amendment retaliation as dissatisfaction with "the decision to end volunteer service." Makes no substantive response to 1983 notice. Instructs that any legal filing will be forwarded to Department of Justice counsel. A senior official mobilized to insulate the person whose own written words document the constitutional violation.
- February 13, 2026Respond same day to Deputy Director Collier's letter. Reject the premise that a public agency can dictate the terms of a citizen's correspondence. Name the "structured process" as an internal routing matter with no authority over constitutionally protected contact with a public agency.
- February 14, 2026Send full declaration to Collier, all named individuals, and Governor Kotek. Name every tactic in sequence: the recording, the retaliation, the surveillance, the weaponized disclosures, the sexuality mockery, the portal delay, the containment attempts. Establish that the archive stands because truth is absolute defense and nothing in it has been disputed or challenged. 325 days of constitutional violation named directly to every person responsible.
- February 16, 2026Send "Defining Abuse" email to all named individuals, OPRD Commissioners, and Governor Kotek. Document the full pattern: abuse, retaliation, intimidation, and now institutional mobilization in response to named legal exposure. Constitutional violation at 327 days ongoing.
