I went to the Ocean Beach (San Francisco) No Kings event today. It was wonderful. While I was proud to be part of the "E," I had just a titch of "Exclamation Point" envy. Someone had a Jack Smith flag! (Jack Smith, Make America Great Again). Crowd estimate was 2,500.

Give it up for San Francisco, y’all! 🔥🔥🔥

We’ve seen this playbook before. And every time, it has been people organizing together that forced them to back down. We are strongest when we stand together. ICE OUT NOW. 🎥 @ktvufox2.bsky.social

It's California so gas here is always higher than the national average. But good grief. UGH. March 18, 2026, in Sacramento.

I nearly spit out my tea when @nicollewallace.bsky.social asked Tim Kaine on today's Deadline White House why he voted to confirm Kristi Noem. Nicolle=fearless. He gave an answer; I want an APOLOGY from him and the 6 others who voted for Noem. Fetterman/Hassan/Kim/Peters/Shaheen/ Slotkin.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I've been trapped in a mental state bookended by despair for and worry about our country. A friend told me about a group of Buddhist monks on a Walk for Peace from Dallas to DC. You can follow them. Read the journal entry for January 9. It helped me so much. dhammacetiya.com/category/act...

Schumer needs to go. His leadership team needs to step aside. There are good people in the Senate who can do the job.

Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Per Axios article re you reprimanding members b/c of SOTU. How about all the Dems acting in concert with Green (one after the other) then getting removed/censured IN UNITY! We have an administration breaking the law right and left and you want decorum? Unbelievable.

@tomsuozzi.bsky.social I am not one of your voters. However, I gave $ to your campaign via Simon Rosenberg and the Hopium community. Your vote to censure Al Green is reprehensible. In fact, you and the rest of your colleagues should have done what he did--stand up for America. My wallet is closed.

Based on Dems past lack of prep, worried they aren't ready for budget fight. Sent this to my reps+Jeffries+Schumer. "...if you want Trump to comply with the law, you can't just say 'we really mean it' or accept a GOP pinky swear. You have to make him comply..." www.offmessage.net/p/its-crunch...

In USDA, "multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones.” To the 19 Dems who voted for USDA Sec, this is what "go along, get along" begets.

Went to local meeting of Indivisible. Surprised by # of older Americans there. Perhaps Boomers (I'm one) want to make amends. Inspiring. My primary issue is voting rights and I liked the presentation from Sister Districts. Going to put my energies there. But kudos to Indivisible for all it does.

@amyklobuchar.com Please stop voting for Trump's nominees. He will ask them to take actions that are unconstitutional, illegal, reckless and stupid. They are his tools to be manipulated, corrupted and coerced. And yet you still vote for them. Unacceptable

From today's protest in Sacramento. Several people said they had dug their signs out of their garages from the 2017 women's march. Crowd was much larger than the event 2 weeks ago.
