Rain Freckles I wasn't expecting rain today at all. No clue that it was in the forecast. So when it started, I double checked. It wasn't in the forecast! My first clue that there was weather in the area was the thunder and lightning showing up in the Friends of Big Bear Valley video feed. Outside,…

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Nearly one million Russian troops have been killed or wounded in the country’s war against Ukraine, a new study estimates. Close to 400,000 Ukrainian troops have also been killed or wounded since the war began.

The fact that Carrier’s plea deal contains only a single charge left some victims even more angry. “That’s ridiculous,” said Ron Carver, who lost $300,000 and whose father lost $200,000 before he died. “They will let him plead out and he might get a slap on the wrist.”

Folks, I won’t sugarcoat it. This is gravely concerning. Leaked internal reports indicate that FEMA is just not ready for hurricane season. I am demanding answers. We don’t have time to waste on this.

I tried to do a version of this report that @warren.senate.gov did, but gave up. The task was too overwhelming!! Two-plus full pages, 34 of 130 entries, focus on the regulatory help Musk got after buying the Presidency for Trump. (This is just a selection.) www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

A Calm Pool Some days you have certain priorities and the world has others. I remain a clam pool amid the chaos, despite the fact that my to-do list didn't shrink nearly as much as I had hoped for today. Is there a nice old picture I can share, just as a break from the doom scrolling and endless…

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

It blew my mind when the Dad of one of the little girls who died said “ it’s still better than getting vaccinated and life is hard” WHAT? Now we have states passing regulations that people can ask for unvaccinated blood and the idiot RFK JR validating all these false theories about vaccinations.

Respectfully, and speaking as someone who for years did one good whack before blocking, no you don't. That's mindspace they've taken from you, and attention you've given to them, and both of those are seen from others, none of whom benefit. Consign the trolls to the cornfield the second they appear.

Three children. Ages 9 to 12. Zip tied at immigration court. Their cases had just been dismissed. They should no longer have been subjected to deportation proceedings. Instead, ICE zip-tied them. This is not law enforcement. This is cruelty by design. Please watch, share, and don’t look away.

I wonder what the odds are that hundreds of additional Ukrainian “Trojan Horse” drones remain hidden in trucks across Russia, just waiting to be launched at additional targets over the coming days. Best of all — there’s very little Putin can do to prevent it!

June 2025 It feels like I'm on a roller coaster at the top of the first lift hill - you know, that moment where it pauses for a second and lets you look over the edge, and while you're not accelerating downward just yet, you know it's coming, coming soon, and there's absolutely nothing you can do…

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide
