Ad astra per aspera, but geez could we have a little less aspera. Books, cooking, the American River, history, my garden, and more books.

I'm old enough to remember tree spikes. That seems relevant right now.

Dear Morgan Stanley, so help me God if at my phone meeting on Friday with my account manager I'm encouraged to buy Tesla stock I will fucking lose my shit. Sincerely, not a n*zi

Working, protesting, calling my reps, trying my best to be a decent human being, working out, cooking for my family, and what did it all get me? Jury duty.

We should take steps to help American nutrition improve, which is why I support a living minimum wage, SNAP, well-funded school lunch programs, an end to food deserts, and serious antitrust actions against huge agriculture ologopolies.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Incredible public service. @propublica.org has catalogued the DOGE crew and their links to Elon. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

On this day in 1940, John Lewis was born. Not only did he show immense strength and courage, but he showed great kindness. I was lucky enough to serve in Congress alongside John for 17 years and will be honoring his lifetime and legacy today. Happy birthday.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Everytime a incel truck is filmed failing, an angel gets its wings.

Absolutely beautiful tribute. #SNL50 #50Years youtu.be/fXAbLeJyB0o?...

I can't decide if the DOGEy actions are sheer incompetence or willful destruction. Probably both.

Breaktime, and I grabbed my produce guy and said, "let's go Tim, the world is a shit show, but at least I can be nice to one person. Let me buy you a coffee." The little things are how I'm going to make it.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

Not looking forward to my commute this morning, the wind and rain are something else right now.

I won’t stop posting this.

Chinga la migra. Like that, you mean?

I missed the Super Bowl (out hiking) but watched the halftime show later. My favorite thing, of many, was the huge smile on Kendrick Lamar's face. Sheer joy, for everyone to see. Just made life better.

Remember UFW martyr Rufino Contreras: Rufino asked for ‘a more just share’ of what he produced; 46 years ago, the company answered him with bullets. Read the full story at: ufw.org/rufinocontre...

Is it just me, or do congressional staffers sound just beat down? I mean, I get it, they too are probably terrified (the blue ones anyway). I'm signing off my calls with a hopeful "have a good day!" Trying to be kind.

Up at 1:30 for work, 8 hours on my feet, then downtown for protest under sunny skies.

Did not have "defend the CIA" on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.

Avocados Limes Jalapeños Tequila Enjoy your superbowl sans guacamole because tangerine petulant child doesn't know how things work.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Sam Wilson is Captain America, no I will not argue with you, please see your r*cist non-comic book reading ass out and kindly unfollow, thanks.

Customer in a Harris Walz shirt today, and I veered off my track to my meeting to approach and say, "Love your shirt" and smile, and I tell you, just seeing her made my day a little better.

I see the Guantanamo concentration camp move as Tr*mps apology to the people he tried to screw over by the attempted federal aid freeze. "Sorry I tried to starve you, but hey, remember how we hate the same people? Let's focus on that."

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Work day starts at 4 a.m., first break is 6 a.m., start calling my Senators 6:01 a.m..

I'm "oh shit that was my knee" years old.

If Google is going to go along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico I think we need to rename them.
