One of the biggest political surprises to me is how vocal our newest senator, Adam Schiff, has become both on traditional media and social media. Meanwhile senator Alex Padilla and representative Doris Matsui are MIA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Zql...

Indivisible and other organizations are planning mass gatherings across the nation on Saturday, April 5, protesting the fascist takeover of our country. Chances are good that there is something local in which you can participate. www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

Here's a quick video update I posted to YouTube (there's nothing new for those who follow my updates here). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwet...

It is literally now or never. Stop being passive and apathetic, or prepare to lose your country to fascism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Spg...

Arnold (a Republican) is pretty direct in his contempt of the Orange Shit Stain's subservience to Putin, but I wish he had come out and said, "Stop acting like a Russian asset!" youtube.com/shorts/zsGwd...

Pro science rally today in Sacramento. Activism and Twisted Sister working together again.

At the March 4 50 States March to the California State Capitol.

Here is a blog update with details about our planned upcoming scouting trip to France: badgerdude.blogspot.com/2025/03/so-f...

Dear Concerned Friend, You're F*ckin' Right I'm Angry. I Wish You Were. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

Last night we were at the state capitol in support of Ukraine. The California National Guard was there for the flag ceremony as well as speaking about how aiding Ukraine benefits the US (both economically and for national security). We have a President acting as a Russian operative.

Came for his video on the TGV from Paris to Montpellier. Stayed for his video on learning French. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAJ_...

Planning and preparation. And are there any more enjoyable pastimes than reading books and scanning maps?

New best sign.

We are here.

I've followed this family on their journey to France for the past year. Here they provide seven easy steps for moving to France from the US. They left out the step about how to move horses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCl2...

Step 1: learn French. We've signed up for A1 lessons in what will be a continuing effort from now on. www.afsacramento.org

So France it is then. The goal is May 2026, which should give us time to learn entry level French, make an exploratory visit the country, find a place to live and board horses, work out the details of transporting the horses, and sell the stuff we won't be taking with us (which will be most of it).

I maintain I blog where I periodically post with longer chains of thought than I can leave on BlueSky. Here's my latest mental ramble with only minimal bitching about the current state of affairs: badgerdude.blogspot.com/2025/02/so-f...

A short twelve mile ride today along Folsom Lake. Taylor is still barefoot and was a little sensitive at the end.

My alternative to doom scrolling has become relocation to France scrolling: ruralpropertynetwork.com/properties-a... . Walk away from the keyboard.

Yesterday we had perfect weather for the rally in Sacramento, but today the cold and rain have returned. I am staying indoors baking scones and bread.

Favorite quote: "Things are so bad even the introverts are here." Favorite chant: "Congress, do your job!"

My favorite sign this far.

At the big rally at the California State Capitol.

Indivisible Sacramento held a smaller rally today before the larger one at the capitol building later on.

We happen to live in our state's capital and so we will be gathering in solidarity with like minded individuals to protest the unconstitutional acts conducted by the current president.

Fight or flight? The first is tempting because it takes little searching to find a country without 77 million idiots supporting an authoritarian cretin. But that feels like giving up without a fight, and so should we dig in as best we can and work to mitigate the worst of the damage?

Russell Vought would have immense power to enforce Trump’s extremist agenda if he's confirmed as OMB director. Vought has made it clear he will not hesitate to violate laws and norms in service of MAGA. app.sosha.ai/s/KtqPrvNj
