We had a great turn out at our InSpirit Plant Sale. Good vibes, and a successful money raiser for www.inspiritmarin.org We will have to plant even more tomatoes next year. Luckily there are still the less well known ones available next Saturday 9-3 at our after sale in Woodacre CA.

I think lots of people don't know what oligarch means. RFKjr may be one of them.

Another part pf the story--kids who enter high school this year will spend all their high school years with Trump as president. It will have long lasting consequences!

our second Sunday protest in the San Geronimo Valley, population around 4,000. Last week we were 13+a 6year old. This week we were 18. it will be an hour long weekly event for as long as we can manage. Lots of cars pass, since we are on the way to a state park and Point Reyes National Seashore.

May 10, 11-4 is the InSpirt Plant Sale. If you live in Marin County CA, come to San Geronimo to get your vegetable or flower starts, or one of the many garden plants grown by locals and donated to us to support people with quadriplegia staying in their homes.

Thank you, Jack Ohman. A comparison that rings all too true. FDR was not perfect, but his first 100 day made life better for many Americans. Hardly the case here.

For Educational Purposes!🤣😂🤣😂

May Day 2025 in San Rafael Ca. We are not gonna stop!

May Day 2025 in San Rafael Ca. We are not gonna stop!

first rose of the year.

Several events in our area on Thursday. We will be in San Rafael 4-5:30, others are hanging banners on three of the county's highway overpasses starting at 4:30 in time for the evening commutes. Trump's latest scariness of militarizing local police forces was the push I needed to come out again.

We decided to start a weekly close to home demonstration--Sundays 11-noon on Sir Francis Drake Blvd in the San Geronimo Valley. I thought there would be 3 of us, but we started off with 7 and ended up with 13 plus a 6 year old at her first protest!

Hundreds turn out to hear Huffman and Raskin Town Hall Marin County CA.

Big turnout for Raskin and Huffman at Marin County Ca town hall

Novato CA is seen as being less politically active than some parts of Marin County. We've been to demonstrations there before around abortion rights. Usually there were about 30 people. Today our rough estimate was 600. The great majority of cars that went by honked their approval.

@ffxmom.bsky.social do I know you ? I am guessing your code name means you live in Fairfax. Fairfax CA? Maybe someone whose child I taught?
